hi8is Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 my friends saw them play recently and before the band took the stage, they BLAIRED a sample over the speakers... it said, "These White Sox Fans...." the sample was looped repeatedly and became louder and more distorted.... the band then, as the sample got louder.... came out one by on and took the stage. thats pretty freakin cool and thought you all should know, if you not a fan of radiohead or dont find this the least bit intresting... then... uhhh.... sorry. not really.

I see you are a Slint fan, but I think the Radiohead statement might be true. I'm a huge radiohead fan, so the idea of thom yorke as a white sox fan intrigues me. With that said, I highly doubt that they are fans. I'm guessing it was for a show in chicago so they improvised something that the fans in the area would like.

chitownsportsfan Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Yo, name some influential bands Mags that you think eclipsed Radiohead. I'm interested as I'm a huge music fan. Lets, see, that would be 1986. I was born in 83, so a bit young to remember those bands, but I remember the mid 90's well, and early 90's not so much. Here are some more off the top of my head. Nirvana Radiohead Beck Pavement The Smashing Pumpkins Outkast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 well, as far as influence goes... My Bloody Valentine's Loveless was a huge influence on grunge, as well as The pixies' Doolittle...a bit rough around the edges if you don't like black francis' yelling. 20 years...thats what 86...Fugazi - The argument... but probably big three...Slint, Nirvana, Sonic Youth. as far as hip hop...prolly Dr. Dre and Rakim, electronic - Aphex Twin or Autechres - Confield. Radios up there but i don't think they've spawned and changed the music scene as much as other bands QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 04:11 AM) Yo, name some influential bands Mags that you think eclipsed Radiohead.

chitownsportsfan Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I need to listen to more from "The Pixies". Interesting call about Fugazi. My initial foray into "alternative" music was through dancehall, punk, and ska-core. I found Fugazi a few years ago, tried to get into them, but failed. I'm mostly a sucker for easy indie pop songs these days. I also enjoy "synth pop", or "glitch pop", and electronic and undie hip hop. Pretty much I just love music, and love talking about it. Kinda like the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHAFTR Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 10 Influential Bands since 1986: Nirvana The Pixies REM Radiohead U2 Rage Against the Machine A Tribe Called Quest The Beastie Boys Public Enemy Metallica I can't give Slint or My Bloody Valentine too much credit since we are only pointing to 2 albums. Sonic Youth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic Youth who has rage influenced... and come on Loveless and Spiderland have inlfuenced a lot more bands then entire discographys of other bands...I can get behind your hip hop but i dont think public enemy influenced that many...i think eric b. and rakim were much more influential.

The Beastie Boys, Anthrax and Public Enemy unfortunately can be blamed more for the "nu-metal" trend moreso than RATM, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell has Outkast ever done? Regardless, you're missing 2 of the bigger ones: The Pixies and Oasis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
