Metric
Yeah yeah yeahs
Lana del Ray
Florence and the machine
Sia

Duke Ellington
Bach

Emo rap? Not a huge fan but it's different

Young lean (guy even references Pokemon and n64)

Holy shit, I thought I was the only one who liked Metric.

And Santigold has some really catchy songs. Lana Del Rey isn't bad, either.

My man! Early metric is better I love “hustle rose”

santigold is the shit!
Early lana is good she’s real pop but I still like it
Idk if it the studio but she can sing. And she says some head turning stuff too

Lol I’m the only honest one

Exactly. Everyone's a liar but me. The only person more honest than me is the one guy who voted that he doesn't give honest scores.

Gave a 4. Never cared for them.

I am always honest. I vote according to the descriptions of the scale, so when my favorite artists come up, they get 10s because that's what 10s are reserved for. I interpret the 10 on this scale to not mean "objectively best," but one of my favorites.

We still need to have some edm on here.

Torn between 2 and 3. Not my thing, but definitely iconic (which is why I voted 3)

9/10 Killer band. Mostly because of John Lydon. Never Mind the Bullocks still sounds dangerous because of his voice. And I only count the one album. The other stuff I really haven't listened to.

I will nominate Roxy Music! We need some glam rock in here. Not as famous as Bowie or T. Rex but damn, they're good.

I'm not taking nominations for the next thread.

Instead it will either be a polarizing hip hop guy, a much maligned stadium rock pop group, some 80s pop, or Insane Clown Posse. I haven't decided yet.

Gave them a 10, punk rock essentially changed rock music history, and I would agree that there are better punk bands out there but the Sex Pistols were essentially the poster boys of the punk movement. When punk exploded, many, many bands were formed as a direct consequence of realizing that you don't really need to be a musician to play in a rock band, for that the Sex Pistols have my respects and my eternal gratitude.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting their most famous (infamous?) song but what did Sex Pistols have against the Queen (QE2, not the singer)?

I guess I'll rate 7/10 just because of how good Anarchy in the UK and God Save The Queen are, and how important the band is to punk rock. I'm still not a fan of Never Mind The Bollocks. Even by punk standards it's really monotonous.

I am a big punk fan, but hardcore punk. Bands like Misfits, GBH, early Killing Joke, Blackflag, Discharge, Bad Brains, and whatnot. I find Sex Pistoles to just be noise, but they were just trying to piss people off not make good music. 4/10

Honest - yes!

This man knows punk music, good choices you listed

This band didn’t not for punk, sorry this is not an essential band.
