I haven't surfed the forum much today, and it didn't ever come up as a "new post" for us premium members. My bad. I skimmed your post. I assume all the rules/submission info is the same as previous competitions. I just have to put up with hardy constantly tweaking...

Oh, and he didn't use Train In Vain

, but i do see a Clash track

It is. Train In Vain fits better with the flow of mine at the moment, but I'm worried it might be on too many playlists, so I might change it.

I enjoy how the formatting example has poor capitalization, yet demands it be exactly like that.

i'll put it on mine just to piss you off

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

can i just say the disconnected tone you get (that doo-doo-doo tone) really disturbs me?

Meh, I just cut and pasted from before. You can blame Axver.

Bad memories?

Oh, I knew Axver wrote them. I mean, really, read the words in that example. Doesn't that sound like Axver?

I'll have to spam my playlist with Duran Duran-related entries then.

 

[Screwtape2]

Train In Vain

London Calling

I find The Clash to be pretty overrated. The whole punk genre is terribly simple and uninteresting.

She must've gotten that often.

To a T.

Well, it's because they were so simple that makes it so refreshing (and this is coming from your fellow prog fan). It's just fascinating to see how that whole movement went down, and how it transformed into post-punk and new wave.

I tend to agree on punk in general, but Train In Vain has an irresistible melody, and London Calling was an extremely creative, varied record.

See I just don't see what is so great about simplifying things.

wait...what's the bad capitalization? i feel dense

is it because every letter is capitalized?

Very true. There are moments where London Calling sounds anything but punk.

 

[LemonMelon]

See I just don't see what is so great about simplifying things.

Punk was a knee-jerk reaction, for better or worse, but there are points when prog becomes so ridiculous that you couldn't possibly blame them for just saying "fuck it" and starting over from the beginning.

Sometimes the simplest of sounds turn out pretty good.

All those songs from the 50's and early 60's were simple. Sometimes just three chords produces magic in its own right.

But Screwtype thinks the 60's was the worst decade in the history of evar.

I agree with you. The things that bother me are that some punk bands get so much praise for doing so little and that punk is talked about by the media as this revolutionary thing while they rarely talk about prog rock.
