MyLeakyBucket Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Yo SoF, KoS ain't the only Aphex T fan round here. Personally I'd go for Come to Daddy, just because the video is just a little better than Windowlicker. Nice list BUT, I'd disagree in a few areas. That Prodigy song is no way the best, gotta be Voodoo People surely? Saying Teen Spirit is Nirvana's best song is asking for trouble fro someone like me (a HUGE, and I mean HUGE, as KoS can testify, Nirvana fan). Also, I'd of inserted Beck somewhere in there, probably Devil's Haircut, as well as Primal Scream, Trail of Dead's 'Mistakes and Regrets', ummmmm, Beastie Boys 'Intergalactic' and NIN's 'Closer'. Nice topic though SoF, always gonna cause contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted March 11, 2002 Author Share Posted March 11, 2002 Well i was going for songs based on there anthemic value, there is no doubt that SLTS was an anthem, I'm sorry but No Good, is 100x better than voodoo people. Pretty big prodigy fan myself. I know nirvana wrote better songs than that. i meant to say for u2 "Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me" which is a far better song. thanks for your feed back.

Heartlessbitch Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 well my leaky bucket good to see another nirvana fan on dd. so how big of a fan are you exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Eh...Nirvana's good, but cmon people... Window Licker is a funny ass video, if the other one's better, i gotta see that. nine inch nails definietly deserves a spot, but not for closer necessarily. As for Oasis, my personal fave of theres is "D'yer Wanna be a spaceman?", but that might just be me. Oh, and Orbital's Halcyon + on + on, that'd get really high up there, i fuckin love that song.

JunkerSeed Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 The bands I remember most from the earlier 90s are Green Day, Guns n Roses, Nirvana, Pearl jam, I associate the later 90's with my top 3 bands now, NIN, Pumpkins, and Tool, with radiohead as a runner up. Defining songs for me would be 1. Pumpkins - Cherub Rock 2. Tool - Sober 3. Green Day - She 4. Nirvana - Breed 5. Guns n Roses - Civil War 6. Pearl Jam - Glorified Version of a Pellet Gun 7. NIN - Down in It 8. Radiohead - Creep 9. STP - Big Empty 10. SoundGarden - Outshined That's just the stuff I remember most vividly, mostly represents my favorites now too.

MyLeakyBucket Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Heartless: Huge Nirvana fan. Kinda sad really but I'm a bit obsessed. Got the albums, plus a few bootlegs and rarities albums. Read all the books, Charles Cross' 'Heavier than Heaven' definitely being the difinitive one. But , the creme de la creme is on my wall where I have 2 Nirvana posters put together surrounded by collage of images of Nirvana, Kurt etc collected from about 5 years worth of magazines, NME, Melody Maker, Select, Rolling Stone, Spin, etc. IC: You really gotta see the Come to Daddy video, it's very cool. I like the bit where the ghoul is screaming in the old ladies face, pure quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartlessbitch Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 yeah leaky, i'm pretty obsessed too.. don't know who's more obsessed you or i to give you a general idea about my nirvana/kurt obsession, i am getting the tatoo kurt had (the sheild with the k in it) and contrary to popular belief, that k in the shield on the tatoo does not stand for kurt, but rather for k records, the first record company to sign nirvana but of course you knew that leaky ;) welcome aboard, glad to have another nirvana obsessed fan on DD... i'm not the only one anymore!

MyLeakyBucket Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Actually I did know that. I also know Kurt used to dye his hair red using sugary drink powder stuff instead of proper dye. We should have a little competition, see who is the saddest of us both. P.S That's gonna be a rocking tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartlessbitch Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 LEAKY i'm so glad you're on dd you truly appreciate my tatoo visison as a tribute to kurt/nirvana, other people just think it's stupid *sigh* ignoramouses.. and did you know that french fries were kurt's favorite food and he burnt his hand trying to make them in a fryer at home? just more useless kurt knowledge here's a question, what was the name of kurt's gf that inspired the song "about a girl" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 That'd be the wonderful Tracy Marauder, about how thery would argue about the share of rent and housework he should do around the house. Okay question: What does the large white sticker Kurt had on his most famous guitar say? What's your fave song by the way? Difficult I know but just have a stab at it.

The NZA Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Chieftan - your order is different, but im with ya on that list. Youre still a bigger Alice in Chains fan than me ("Im...the man..IN THE BOX"), but otherwise id call it pretty similar. Still want nine inch nails up there tho. Tho for 90's hip-hop, i still love old NY shit like Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Eric B & Rakim, and still my favorite old group, Tribe Called Quest. They all did some of their best shit in the early 90's.

BigChiefSlapaho Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 Well... goddammit... that just complicates EVERYTHING now... I mean, I go and mention what I thought were some great bands of the 90's and Kee says... :plain: ... I mean... SHIT MAN! What the hell am I supposed to do now? Now I've gotta go change my whole perspective on auditory stimuli, dammit. What's a guy to do? I say "BBD", he says :plain: . It's fucking heartbreaking.

The NZA Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 Oh yeah, on that note...no fuckin way id put DMX up there, hes alright but way to played. Jay-Z gets played worse but damn, the man's got more talent. Cant say who'd win in a freestyle competition, but Jay alla way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 i always though oasis was a beatles rip off I wouldn't worry too much about whether they're rip-offs or not, just whether they're any good or not!! :sly: I always piss off SoF with this one but aside from the first two average albums, I don't rate them in any way!! To paraphrase Bill Hicks: Kos's quick capsule review, PIECE OF SHIT......"But do they sound too much like the Beatles?".....NO NO NO!!! You've forgotten how to judge these thing, PIECE OF SHIT, NOW WALK AWAY!!! You happen to see where I left my oversized spoon SoF?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 By the way you're a bastard SoF, I want to post my favorite songs, but you know I'm nothing if not thorough. :angry: You know I'm gonna have to take my time with it, get a comprehensive list together, I'll post it later....

Christ, i sometime forget how much i love Bill Hicks. Once again, somethin i wasnt aware of that Preacher introduced me to....the man was a sage. KOS, how'd you hear of him?

King of Snake Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 I wouldn't worry about forgetting IC, as long as I'm around there'll be some Bill Hicks quotes floating around, especially since I have no originality myself. Heard Bill on BBC Radio1, the same station that ran Blue Jam, MLB'll know the DJ, Mary-Anne Hobbs. She played a couple of clips, My Parents from Dangerous split into two. It stuck with me a while and one day in a record and video store I spotted a Bill video and picked it up. Got the Dangerous Cd and the Revelations vid at a later time. Read Preacher a little after that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soldier of fortune Posted March 17, 2002 Author Share Posted March 17, 2002 KOS i think i found your giant spoon!! its up MY ass!! Some good calls there, don't agree with your prodigy choice, but its a good list anyway!! Definately agree with the satan call!! That song is so good live!! Actually i was just trawling through my CDs there and i came across "Chicane - Saltwater ft Maire Brennan of Clannad" what a f******* "CHOON" that is. Any other contenders for best dance track ever let me know what y'all think!! But that'd be up there in my top five Edited for comedic value! How'd you like them apples?!

MyLeakyBucket Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Nice list KoS, glad someone has finally mentioned the Utah Saints, I love those guys. As for fave dance track, I'd be tempted to go for Voodoo People by Prodigy or Sick by the Utah Saints, love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
