Same here.

Can? Jesus, I never heard Can in them.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
I'll tell you one thing—since I've joined this band, I've really discovered how bad other people's ears are in terms of being able to identify what bands actually sound like. We had a huge argument the other month because the guitarist had written a song that sounded exactly as if it was a new Cure song, and the singer kept harping on and on about how much it sounded like The Smiths. I couldn't believe it.Marky Dread wrote: ↑21 Mar 2019, 1:13pmNothing remotely like Can.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Oh, okay. Yeah, there I can hear Can. Stereolab are okay, but most songs sound the same to me. I can listen to 'em but rarely feel an interest to do so.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Either way, I was trying to argue "why are we ok with sounding like either of these bands?" This band is stressful.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑21 Mar 2019, 1:19pm[insert joke about Hoy, REM, the Cure]Kory wrote: ↑21 Mar 2019, 1:17pmI'll tell you one thing—since I've joined this band, I've really discovered how bad other people's ears are in terms of being able to identify what bands actually sound like.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
I assume your argument is to not sound like anyone else? It's a great ideal, but the vast degree of sub-genres makes it pretty much impossible now.Kory wrote: ↑21 Mar 2019, 1:33pmEither way, I was trying to argue "why are we ok with sounding like either of these bands?"

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
No, I'm not that idealistic, but I think when somebody comes in with a new song where we all say very confidently "that sounds very much like [band x]" we should work a little harder to cover our theft. I get enormous amounts of pushback on this small preference.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑21 Mar 2019, 1:40pmI assume your argument is to not sound like anyone else?

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
only one band you need to be trying to sound like, imho:
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!
