Weird shite right there - I just listened to Smiths/Femmes earlier tonight for the 1st time in a year. Waiting for the damn GnR Coachella stream at 2:30...

Violent Femmes




Gonna say this. For 30+ years they have sounded the same. Give it to any college kid in a vacuum and they would think it was new and weird. Never sounds dated because it always sounds college. No matter what college music changes to they stay relevant.

The smiths. Johnny Marr was doing what The Edge would later do. Just do it a lot better. And earlier.

Led Zepplin. A lot of bands were putting out this music but they were just so much better. Layering guitar parts, banjos, ukelele, mandolins, keyboards, bow on guitar strings, and ridiculous tunings. Their weakest part was Robert Plant and he was god damned good. They just were "ahead" of their time musically from a musician standpoint. Like Bethoven and Chopin got together and made a band.
