scott Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Is there anyone else on these boards that likes post-punk? It's basically alt-rock that served as a bridge between the punk era and the 90s alt era (but never received that fame of either of the aforementioned genres) Some notable artists of the genre include The Pixies, Sonic Youth , Pavement , and Dinosaur Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I have a friend who likes The Pixies. But he also likes Frank Zappa and hates The Wall. So screw him. I never liked him that much anyway. Always working at Taco Bell instead of playing guitar because he's a right wing pawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aisha Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 My just gave me two Pixies albums and I like them so far. I didn't know there was a Post-Punk genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Yeah, and it's freakin' awesome, some other notable groups to check out would be Sonic Youth (Goo and Daydream Nation are both incredibly amazing) Dinosaur Jr., Screaming Trees, the Flaming Lips are kind of post-punk it depends on what album you pick up, and Pavement is really goood too (check out the music of choice for the review that I wrote for the deluxe Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain package) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambchop Flansburgh Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Yeah, it's funny to hear the "post-punk" label applied nowadays, what with 12 million bands calling themselves punk, most of whom weren't even born when Sid Vicious died. Anyway, Pavement is wonderfully challenging music - has anyone ever figured out what Malkmus was talking about? I just saw the Pixies live a couple of months ago. They were incredibly tight and LOUD. They really honor the Ramones tradition of play a song, bang, play another song, bang, no messing around. I think they played 20 songs in a little over an hour. I don't think they really fit the genre, but I always had a soft spot for Camper Van Beethoven. They were around during that same period, and they actually just re-formed and put out a new album last year. Maybe a bit too folky to be "post-punk", but a cool band all the same.

Aisha Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I got Young Liars by TV on the Radio from a friend and they do a really cool cover of Mister Grieves a Pixies' song. Both versions sound way different but definately both cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
