Keith Houchen Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Joy Division were underrated? That's a new one on me, they're pretty much beatified. Then again, I do live in Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Unknown Pleasures is routinely mentioned as one of the greatest albums of all time, even if Closer is better.. Never heard them called underrated before. Grunge didn't kill shit, unless you mean American Thrash which killed itself by being poo once the 90s hit. Plus it gave birth to Sludge, the best metal subgenre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted May 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2017 Calling one of the most revered and influential bands of all time "underrated" is a bit mad, like. I mean, granted, they're not The Beatles, in terms of popularity, but I think a lot of people that go a bit further than the top 40 know they're one of those tent pole bands, which speaks for itself.

Keith Houchen Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 That prick from the New Radicals blamed Grunge for his music career before New Radicals never taking off, so Grunge is ok with me on that alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he is, he thinks he should have had them sooner. I guess as a counter argument to my own, does this mean if it wasn't for grunge, we wouldn't have had to put up with You Get What You Give? Which led to him writing songs for Ronan Keating. Fucking hell, grunge, I hate you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Grunge didn't kill anything, and reality shows killed MTV. Gave things a kick up the arse maybe, but 'killed'? No chance. It's the same as punk, it went as quickly as it came. Then you had 'new grunge' which bands like Nickleback, Creed and Puddle of Mudd got lumped into, it's all just labels at the end of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted May 23, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 23, 2017 Big part of many of our childhoods ripped out I would imagine. Top knock, but very sad nevertheless. His Bond films were just the most wonderful pieces of escapism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
