Nail Soup Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Great thread. Now, I'm not going to get into a debate about what constitutes post-punk. No siree, not me ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 This was my gateway track from Punk/New Wave into post-punk: Delta 5 - Mind Your Own Business: As post-punk often does, it has a great bassline. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr4stringz Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Also, take the Jazzmaster off J Mascis and give him an acoustic. No Big Muff then, right? 0:35 for 10 seconds or so makes me laugh. Love it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Tad supporting Soundgarden, back in the day. During Tad's set someone from Soundgarden kept running across the stage, with a paper bag on their head, trying to distract the band.

Brilliant! Also saw them supporting SG. Tad was wearing a bright orange ten-gallon hat with GOD printed on the front. Not much else to say about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love his playing, so languid and loose 😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I was never a fan of Gunge, particularly not of any the bands that became big, but some of the bands who came before were great, like Mudhoney: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the alternative scene in the 80s but the 90s stuff was a bit heavy for my tastes. Obviously a lot of people did like it but just not for me.

Barking Spiders Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 The baggy scene of the early 90s featured lots of bands crossing indie guitar rock with grooves, the best known being the Stone Roses and the Happy Mondays. However, several years before this That Petrol Emotion were already doing this. Formed by the Undertones O'Neill brothers TPE were a far better band than anything the baggy scene threw up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) Here's another undeservedly overlooked band from the 80s/early 90s, despite them having critical success, being a Peel fave and having NME's 1988 AOTY. Here's a cracking tune.. What puzzles me is they were labelmates with Oasis while at Creation. If only Alan McGee had been as much behind HoL it might've been a different story.

Barking Spiders Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 I find it hard to get why guitar bands like The Chameleons, The Sound and the House of Love got overlooked while The Smiths got so much critical kudos and decent UK sales. For me The Queen is Dead has to be one of the most critically overrated albums in any genre and Morrissey has a voice as annoying as wossisface from Rush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the title track of the second album; I was gonna come round to them soonish and would've picked the same track to highlight Stuart Morrow's great pick playing. As it is this below might be my fave tune of theirs, especially the chorus 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
