[kj] RE: Foos, Nirvana, whatever

[Rob Martin]

Tim
I've got to press you further - what rock cliché stuff.
Can you give me any examples?
I've got plenty of rock cliché stuff in my collection - Krokus being a band
completely made up of rock clichés - but I got into them before I sussed
that one out.
I'm not going to be Dave Grohl's sole defender here but I do happen to enjoy
almost everything he's done so far. I must have very simple music tastes.
Are there any major albums he's helped to produce other than from these
bands below?
Nirvana
Foo Fighters
Queens of the Stone Age
Killing Joke
Tenacious D

Regards
Rob Martin

its my honest opinion, they were popular when colour & shape came out and i
loved that

too much rock cliche stuff now

maybe the foo's really needed Pat Smear, although i didn't rate his
contribution to nirvana
something just changed, lots of people  i know when off them  after pat went
