  1. With Megadeth you can appreciate what the song could've been. The Pistols version is just one guy screaming the same note over and over...

    Dude. :tongue2:

    I voted for the Sex Pistols, but I'll probably change my mind tomorrow :shrugs:

  2. Yeah, I could see that in a band like Rush, who by the time the 80s came around, were doing everything possible to get away from prog. They went deliberately out of their way to avoid being heavy, or long-winded. They wrote short poppy songs with a bit of other genres thrown in, and threw in as much keyboards as possible. Unrecognizable from the band that made 2112.

    Yeah, it reached its zenith around Counterparts...compare that to Caress of Steel :lol: I love all of Rush's schizophrenic approaches to albums though, always makes for some interesting stuff. I actually fucking love Counterparts :P

  3. i dont see low end theory, screamadelica or loveless anywhere on that list, but pearl jam, michael jackson and flea's plastic funk brigade are all in the upper reaches

    johnny firecloud confirmed for tasteless plebeian

  4. The Who was pretty instrumental to Punk, even if they later had some animosity towards the movement themselves (The Who By Numbers). I liked when Zeppelin tried to kinda play around with Punk like on Wearing and Tearing, one of my favourite Zep songs...one of Coda's gems. Floyd and Prog Rock in general really is the antithesis to Punk, even if Lydon actually does like Pink Floyd...the whole Punk movement took a stance against the whole perceived "holier than thou" pretentiousness of progressive rock, along with the larger-than-life egos and personas of Hard Rock/Arena Rock.

    I listen to both, no need to choose one over the other :shrugs:
