Space Rock!

[borntohula]

who here are fans of anything space rock???! when i say that, the term encompasses or connotes genres like dream pop, shoegaze or anything that can be described by the words "swirling guitars" or "atmospheric".

 

im talkin about bands like failure, cave in (jupiter era), autolux, my bloody valentine, spacemen 3, slowdive, etc etc. i guess bands like mogwai and godspeed... can be included as well... im missing a ton, but you get the picture. fans? anyone?

[saturnine]

i like 30 seconds to mars.

[mrs jesus]

i've only heard one mogwai song and one autolux song and failure is overrated and the end.

[saturnine]

if fantastic planet had 12 songs, it would be quite good. it does not, however.

[borntohula]

failure is overrated and the end.

really??!

 

ive never heard anyone actually talking about them or raving about them whatsoever. (maybe theres a reason for that.... sigh)

"Space rock" seems like a really dumb name for a genre, but still, I like Failure, 30STM, and Godspeed...

[saturnine]

talk to more apc fans (which all of us are)

 

powerman 5000 was space rock for an album

it's as silly as any other genre name ever.

[saturnine]

not pussy rock

[mrs jesus]

if fantastic planet had 12 songs, it would be quite good. it does not, however.

exactly, it drags on and on and on and all the songs sound the same after awhile. i don't hate them, and i don't think they suck, though.

 

and hula, you would have heard people rave about them if you had ever spent time at an apc board. i don't advise it, really.

[borntohula]

good point

Everything I say is naturally true so proof is a waste of time.

shoegaze is a pretty spiffy name, i think

oh come on... all genre titles are so vague and dont end up describing anything whatsoever.

 

rock sure sounds like rock doesnt it?

Space rock rocks space yo! Spacehog are easily one of the greatest bands ever, although not entirely space rock claimes my musical elitist bastard friend. But yah I like Failure. And I'm sure that other stuff is good. Or bad maybe. And Flight Recorder from Viking 7 is simply splendid.

jazz is pretty jazzy

Well sometimes a genre title will at least clue you in as to the time period when it was the dominant form of rock.

[saturnine]

russian rock

[HoboFactory]

russian rock

Good stuff. Sometimes.

[mrs jesus]

there should only be two genres, crap and not crap

[HoboFactory]

Just try to get people to agree on what goes where.

[mrs jesus]

i have final say. shouldn't be too hard.

[borntohula]

Just try to get people to agree on what goes where.

well its the same case now with any genre.

 

case in point: both pearl jam and nirvana should not be in the same musical genre.
