Quote:Quote:It’s fun to read down this thread — a lot of my faves are listed (though, imho, the funk/soul world remains underrepresented, so I’ll toss in: Parliament, Funkadelic, Sly & Family Stone, James Brown, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Frankin, etc.)
It’s also neat how many of these bands have iconic EHX connections (perhaps most obvious are Screaming Trees and Mudhoney, who named themselves or albums after EHX) — but, just from those listed above, there are plenty of obvious EHX connections to Beck, Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Marilyn Manson, Radiohead, ZZ Top, David Bowie, The Ramones, Smashing Pumpkins, White Stripes — and I’m sure you could help add more connections…
And Sonic Youth- Thurston has used a Sovtek Big Muff for a long time, Lee has a microsynth, and Kim uses a vintage Hot Tubes.

Who knows how it will translate, what things they might have borrowed. I’ll have to look it up, but I think he said it’s partly the lyrics.
Here are some vids of songs that could be on it. Mars is pretty cool. No Way is alright. I can’t wait to hear nice recordings.

I really like ‘rather ripped’, but that ‘destroyed room: b-sides and rare’ left me wondering why the hell I had just spent £12 on it.
Quote:I really like ‘rather ripped’, but that ‘destroyed room: b-sides and rare’ left me wondering why the hell I had just spent £12 on it.You know, of all the SY albums I own I’ve only bought 2 of them, the rest are from torrents.LOL I usually only buy albums of my favorite bands and even though i love SY they aren’t in my top 3 favorite bands.
My top 3 would be
Kinski (i bought all their albums)
Earth (same, I’m a little disappointed with their latest few albums, I prefer the older distorted stuff)
Nirvana
