the nerd Posted October 10, 2016 Share i would say it is comprehensive for sure - but the connections are just odd. I reckon someone just got a list of artists..put them in some sort of chronological order from left to right and then randomly drew lines between them...sometimes adding a squiggle Basically he said its crap, just all names and no reason or rhyme, and missing people and duplicates where the same person started several things...

Red Robin Posted October 10, 2016 Share i would say it is comprehensive for sure - but the connections are just odd. I reckon someone just got a list of artists..put them in some sort of chronological order from left to right and then randomly drew lines between them...sometimes adding a squiggle Some things have a correlation like Siouxsie, Adam Ant, Sex Pistols and Pil. Also Joy Division and New Order. I think the only reason they lumped Stone Roses, Oasis etc. with The Smiths is the Manchester connection cos there is nothing else. The ska type bands (for want of a better word to describe them cos I don't know any other) are kind of together such The Specials, The Beat, Madness etc.Happy Mondays and Joy Division the only correlation is Tony WilsonOthers are totally random.

Stretch Posted October 10, 2016 Share yes...I mean..the charlatans - half man half biscuit - the wedding present - nick cave and the birthday party are all on one line??? i get the birthday party and nick cave.....cos its ...well ...nick cave....but why the wedding present? and then half man half biscuit??? and then John Peel??? I like that they chose to incorporate him..but he promoted influential bands as opposed to influencing music...and if they gonna included john peel and not include the fall ...then something is amiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokman Posted October 10, 2016 Share Don't see The Police there. Or did I miss them?Edit: Or would they for some reason not belong? Edited October 10, 2016 by Blokman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Robin Posted October 10, 2016 Share Don't see The Police there. Or did I miss them?Edit: Or would they for some reason not belong? Perhaps they were considered too 'mainstream' and not really alternative by whoever drew this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still it has been fun to look at and see some bands I had forgotten all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the nerd Posted October 10, 2016 Share I agree. If anything it was fun to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokman Posted October 10, 2016 Share Perhaps they were considered too 'mainstream' and not really alternative by whoever drew this up?My thought also, but others like OMD and The Bangles were mainstream in my mind at least. Also maybe Blondie and The Pretenders as they became popular. But many bands on there that I know nothing or little about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But many bands on there that I know nothing or little about. I noticed a lot of those type bands did not make it on the list - the police, men at work, Midnight Oil thinking of those last two..the aussies got a real raw deal - the church, the triffids, crowded house also did not make the list...only the Go-Betweens who released a majority of their albums while in the UK Blokman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted October 14, 2016 Share I was amazed and thrilled, pretty much how I felt when I first heard Dylan. I think it is awesome...as now millions and millions around the world are now taking a fresh look at his lyrics (myself included) and realising or being reminded again what an exceptional poet he was. just take that extract i posted above....mention Mr Tambourine man and 99% of people will sing: "Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meI'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going toHey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for meIn the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you" yet the verse that follows in its entirety.... Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mindDown the foggy ruins of timeFar past the frozen leavesThe haunted frightened treesOut to the windy benchFar from the twisted reach of crazy sorrowYes, to dance beneath the diamond skyWith one hand waving freeSilhouetted by the seaCircled by the circus sandsWith all memory and fateDriven deep beneath the wavesLet me forget about today until tomorrow cfcjim and Uni 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
