[kj] [OT] Sunday morning reading. Music = intelligence?

[Leigh Newton]

Damn internet. Okay, I'll say it a little more clearly. If Metallica had ceased to exist as a band in September of 1986 (which is when Cliff Burton died), then they would poop all over Nirvana. 

If their entire recorded studio output consisted solely of Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets with no Black Album or Load or St. Anger or even half-baked Justice For All to sully their good name.....in other words, if they were wiped off the face of the planet at their very creative apex, never to return again....then it's Metallica FTW.

There’s PLENTY of room for debate.
 
One:     St Anger (“FLUSH
IT OUT!”)
Two:     Lars Ulrich
Three:   Fuck all decent
material post running out of Dave Mustaine tracks
Four:    Ulrich and Hammet
dancing along to Limp Bizkit covering Sanitarium live
Five:     Awful live performance
with symphony orchestra 
Six:      Nirvana
were the biggest band in the world, for a time, *before* Kurt died. 
Seven:  David Bowie and John Lydon
praised Nirvana
Eight:   Hetfield is a 5/10
singer at best, and a redneck goober to boot (promoting guns now after singing ‘One’
back in the day…)
Nine:     Insanely embarrassing
documentary about how pissy they are as individuals
Ten:      Bass player
replacement dude going on Rent-a-Hutchence reality show
Eleven: Becoming the poster-band for
selling out in a prolonged, incredibly embarrassing way…
 
PS: Is it just me or that bit in Enter
Sandman, where he goes “Dreams of war, dreams of liars”…doesn’t
it sound like “Dreams of Lars”? LOL

If Metallica had all died in the bus accident along with Cliff Burton
then they would take it by a country mile. And there would not be any room
whatsoever for debate.

   Hm, Nirvana to the right of
Metallica... hip-hop smarter than Gospel? And is 
Killing Joke literally "off the charts"?
 
(Wot, no Coldplay?)
 
  Meh, I think people listen to music in a much more
holistic and 
experiential way, anyway, but graph sure is fun to look at
and joke about. *cues
ska playlist*

Tomorrow..

In no way do I wholly agree with this but nevertheless it's an errrrr....
interesting idea/read

Ps. I apologize to my fellow Brits about the 25 DVD box set gift.

Pps. Whoever mentioned the "House of Yes" movie in a previous thread.
Thank you!
Parker Posey is awesome (also enjoyed her in "Best in Show").
