Is modern hip hop good anymore? (I'm so out of touch I have no idea). Like, has anyone done anything that doesn't kind of sound like thugger/LUV on the one hand or earl/ mike/roc marciano on the other at any point in the last few years? Maybe this is the wrong thread to ask. But maybe deadpeg or someone should have something to say?

Didn’t they open for him? Wouldn’t be surprised if some influence rubbed off

Yeah it was in his Bowie eulogy;

"When punk rode into town and every rock n' roller pre-1976 was denounced as a dinosaur, there were few exceptions. Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Captain Beefheart, Yoko Ono, Neil Young, Marc Bolan, Eno, Bryan Ferry and definitely Bowie.

He was the one gentleman who excitedly applauded Devo and Suicide and in the 80s was rumored to have been checking out Pixies, Sonic Youth, et al."

mmm over the years ive kinda been rubbed the wrong way by the whole exaggerated punk myth. "punk killed prog", "punk needed to happen", the whole thing kinda falls flat when you realize punk wasn't exactly a giant commercial success at the time compared to other rock music. Only in the eyes of the critics (and diehard punk fans i guess) did it have that effect. Of course it was extremely influential but acting like it killed everything else is just a contrived narrative by the critics and artsy pretentious people like Thurston IMO. Maybe Thurston thought "every rock n' roller pre-1976 was denounced as a dinosaur" but that was only within his own cool opinion, after all he had a Deadhead in his own band

if punk killed the dinosaurs of prog/excess then why did all the prog bands continue selling so much more than punk bands? :mystery: along with others like the Stones and Queen. And of course some of the biggest selling acts with excess antithetical to punk came after 1977, or experienced their peak success then: Van Halen, AC/DC, any glam metal, AOR like Journey and Boston. a lot of which is trash but still can't pretend that strain was somehow wiped off the map by punk (and ensuing new wave/alternative/etc.)

i remember reading that John Lydon is a huge Van Der Graaf Generator fan and that's basically the proggiest s*** imaginable lol
