Isn't it amazing that no matter what subject a thread begins with it always turns into an argument.

I wish I was here during this argument.

 

Mind you (and this is quite freaky) In the last week I have played The Dakness, RATM and the Stone Roses as the album playing as I shower and get ready for a night out. How wierd is that?

I don't particularly like RATM but I can see they bear no comparison to SUM 41, Blink 182 etc. just as much as some of the crap indie bands from the mid 90's don't bear comparison to the Stone Roses or Oasis.

Maybe this sounds very woolly, but I can appreciate that RATM do what they do well, and that they are clearly very passionate about their music. It still feels to me as though you want to slag them off because of what they're associated with, rather than because of their music (have you heard their other albums?) I'm sure you'll tell me I'm wrong though <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

What the fk are you on about, Libro? Did you not read any of what I said? I couldn't even tell you what political views they have. What's more I don't give a fk.

The majority of the bands I like (Oasis, Stone Roses, Smiths etc.) have daft leftie political views. I don't judge these bands on their political associations, so why on earth do you think I'm judging RATM on them??

The Smiths had an album called The Queen Is Dead, for fks sake, but I love the Smiths.

Noel Gallagher promoted New bloody Labour during the mid-'90s but I still rate Oasis' first two albums as two of the best albums ever.

The Stone Roses, as I previously mentioned, recorded songs that were both anti- the Queen, and anti-Thatcherism.

IT MAKES NO [****!!****] DIFFERENCE TO ME.

The reason I dislike Rage Against The Machine is because it's talentless [censored] for kids.

So why claim they make music about rebelling against your parents?

Hmmm.
