And I have to admit, putting aside the overkill and saturation, Nirvana's "Nevermind" and Pearl Jam's "10" are really good albums, and I have a lot of great memories attached to them. Soundgarden's "Superunknown" was pretty good too. I spent the better part of the 80's getting into hard rock/metal so not too many influences have carried over. I can still listen to a few certain songs for kicks, but the only bands I would say I can listen to and really enjoy anymore are Van Halen (particularly Roth-era stuff, Hagar never did it for me) and Rush. I do remember really being into Def Leppard and Dokken, heh heh. Journey is an occasional guilty pleasure (I have a game room complete with 20 early 80's arcade games and they just go hand in hand, please consider that before flaming me too badly =) When New Wave was popular I really liked Missing Persons, Flock of Seagulls, The Fixx, the Clash (though not really New Wave, I guess), some Devo, etc. When I started getting out of the metal phase, I listened to the Smiths, the Cure, Siouxse (sp?) and the Banshees, bands of that ilk. As a final statement, can I just say the U2 and REM are two of them most overhyped bands ~ever~.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Yello or the Art of Noise as early "best bands". For both of the bands, their early albums are original and brilliant, IMHO. Yello started getting stale with "Zebra", and AON hit their peak around the time they started releasing remixes of their previous songs on CD and nothing original or new. (something like 4 or 5 remix albums over the span of 10 years? sheesh). Although I'm obligated to mention that their 2000 release of "the Seduction of Claude Debussy" was good. It's also interesting to note that LX has been affiliated with both groups ("Gotta Say Yes..." remix for Yello, and DJing for AON's Ambient Collection). But I digress. The reason why I mention these two groups is that they got me really excited about electronic music at an early age and challenged the traditional top-40 aesthetic. I'm sure LX was as well, as he agreed to be affiliated with both of them. Then again maybe they were contractual obligations, perhaps? However, I have liked, and continue to like, a lot of music over a lot of different genres (but mostly electronica/experimental now). But it was these two that made me *really* excited because it made me think that there's better music out there than what you hear on MTV (or top-40 radio, etc.). And on a completely different topic, one group (actually one person) who has made me really turn my head over the last few years is Russell Mills (a.k.a. Undark). (note: this is NOT the same Russell Mills who's with the Beastie Boys). I'd recommend the Undark:3396 album (if you can find it - it's out of print now) - pure sonic bombardment, but is really, genuinely, intelligent music that makes you think, and has some ambient parts, others beat-oriented, others experimental. I read an interview that Mills is primarily a visual artist, but was offered a chance to make an album out of the blue. He's not a musician by any means, and has never worked with music/equipment/recording, etc. But, since he had made a lot of album/CD covers for big-name artists (like U2, Roger Eno, Fripp, Sylvian, etc.) or was friends with them, he decided to call them up and asked them to record some sound bites/music bites, whatever. He mashed, mixed, cut up, etc. the sound bites until he was happy with the final 'collage' of music. Really neat stuff! I've yet to hear his latest, "Pearl + Umbra", but will be buying it soon. The reason why I'm mentioning this guy is because he's doing something quite different from anything else I've heard these days that's impressing me, and I'm not easily impressed. Anyhow, that's my $0.02 (and then some)... # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2001 18:32:25 -0400 From: Marc Hachadourian Subject: (orb) tv tunes Dear All- I had to laugh at the knock of Paul Oakenfold.

Actually, I really like REM...until Monster came out (or whatever album had that dreadful "What's the Frequency Kenneth?" song (although the story BEHIND that song is a hoot in and of itself--Dan Rather being pummelled by some psycho on the street--love to give THAT guy a medal (and I *don't* mean Dan Rather!)). > PS - As for U2, they've always been shit. ===>New Year's Day and Gloria are pretty cool tunes, though. Otherwise, I completely agree. Later!

REM makes me want to vomit every time I hear "Shiny Happy > People". And all those other stupid songs... Ugh! REM USED to be good. I saw the Green tour and it was actually fantastic. Over 3 hours, no encore. They were much better live than on record. Simple but solid. The real transition in their music occurred when they went from being a pot band to other stuff...ugh.

He included the Pet shop boys and tears for fears but where's Depeche Mode? Their best stuff came out during the 80s! (imo) Vangelis also did a lot of very decent stuff.
