i thought it was tomorrowviewtifulshmoe

well, it's after 12am here, so technically it is today.

[QUOTE="Forever_Changes"]Weezer. I'm pretty sure that their decline in quality is unmatched by any other band.Ninja-Hippo

The Blue Album WAS their debut :P Pinkerton, which followed was also amazing though. The Green Album followed that, then Maladroit and then Make Believe. After Pinkerton, they got worse and worse with every release, although the Red Album was better than Make Believe.

[QUOTE="Lockedge"] I didn't say MCR was punk, I said they were punk-rock. There's quite a difference. They're more along the rock side of things than punk, but there's enough of it in their sound for it to be addressed. They could also be seen as pop-rock, but there's more punk behind their sound than pop. So yeah. Don't do that whole knee-jerk reaction. LJS9502_basic

Punk is an ethic, Punk-Rock is the genre of music. Same as Indie and Indie-Rock, really.

i do agree actually. like My Chemical Romance is emo but it doesnt mean that they're bad. people auto assume that emo=bad. pygmahia5

MCR aren't emo...

I think people should stop using the word "emo" until they learn what "emo" actually is. It doesn't mean emotional, it's not a fashion or dress-sense and it's not a word used to describe a depressed kid who cuts himself. It's a genre of music. It stands for emotional hardcore. It grew out of the D.C. Punk scene of the 80s with bands like Rites of Spring, Embrace and Moss Icon. It evolved to a more melodic form of pop-punk music in the 90s with bands like Cap'n Jazz and Weezer and basically died out in the 00s. That is all emo means.

[QUOTE="InterpolWilco"] Pretty Hate Machine? The Downward Spiral? The Fragile? Do any of these albums ring a bell? I love both, but I'll go with Nine Inch Nails.peppersfan2

Yes, I know the albums but what real importance do they have? How much of an impact have they made on rock music? Not that great of one. They may have influenced some bands, but not to the extent that OK Computer, Kid A and, to a certain extent, In Rainbows have.

I'm not disputing that many people enjoy those albums but I am saying that Radiohead are a much more important band than Nine Inch Nails. 20 years from now, Radiohead will (probably) be looked back upon as one of the, if not the, most innovative, influential and important band(s) of the 90/00s.

BTW, Pretty Hate Machine is the only NIN album I've ever thought was even slightly interesting. NIN suck, in my opinion. :D

Nine Inch Nails have had a HUGE impact on rock and industrial music. To say otherwise is wrong. Nine Inch Nails is critically aclaimed for a reason.

NIN has made an impact within industrial music, which isn't exactly the most popular form of music. Reznor is largely responsible for bringing it to a mass audience, but that is pretty much NIN's only significance. And NIN is nowhere near as 'critically acclaimed' as Radiohead.
