I hate it for them too. Some of the best music ever made.

I've never gotten what the big deal is with Elvis Costello.

I don’t know of anyone who I don’t like at least SOMETHING they’ve put out. My musical tastes are very broad. I’ll come at it this way: I don’t understand the height of the pedestal the Stones and Led Zeppelin have been placed on, although I adore the vast majority of their work.

The Clash. They're not terrible - "Train in Vain" is an ok song - but they're just so, so milquetoast for a band that is supposed to be one of the most important punk groups of all time. Are they even punk? Maybe I need to listen to some of their early stuff but their hits are about as "punk" as Tom Jones.


Clown take bro. Who cares how “punk” they sounded. They are one of the most influential bands of all time. They expanded the vocabulary of alternative music tenfold. No one was seamlessly switching genres like they were on London Calling. It’s a flawless album. Their contribution in a nutshell was showing that “punk” was a sensibility, not some lame aesthetic.

To your original point tho, their debut was traditional fast paced punk.

Springsteen is a clear choice here IMO.

I won't say that I don't "get" them, because I listen to them a lot and love their music, but I don't rate Skynyrd as highly as a lot of people do.

I get the argument and the talent; just don't care to listen.
