>>55350780
You're awful. Both opinions are just as subjective.

Chvrches and Honeyblood are pretty great.
Same with Camera Obscura and Nouvelle Vague (although all Nouvelle Vague do are covers in their own style)

>>55350754
saw them live a few weeks ago. decent

>>55350873
Chvrches is absolute trash, uninspired and overproduced

Mass of the Fermenting Dregs and Wakusei Abnormal.

All the female jap artists are great

Does anyone on /mu/ listen to Waxahatchee or Swearin'? They're both pretty good, though not really my favorite. Kinda have a thing for Katie Crutchfield, pic related

>>55350859
Important in what sense? Social movement, yes. Musically, terrible.

>>55350873
Camera Obscura are good, Chvrches are shit, Nouvelle Vague are a band I've never heard of but I just saw that they covered XTC and that's alright with me. I've never tried listening to Honeyblood.

>>55350954
>Waxahatchee

I thought it was pretty dull. It's just more of the same generic-indie-rock that makes pretty safe music. It isn't bad, but it's just incredibly harmless.

>>55350978
Riot were as musically terrible as your average punk band. At least they had some legit grievances to air versus white boys whining about dumb shit.

>>55350873
I like this cover of Bizarre Love Triangle:

>>55351000
That's a good assessment actually. I played along to my girl's Cerulean Salt record and thought, "dang I could have written this album in a day." Which, again, is not to say that it's bad music.

>>55350920

White Lung

>>55351032
Think it's way better than the s/t. 8/10 for me. Loving the consistency, vocal performances, layered guitars, and stronger songs. Feel Right at Home/For You I Am is one incredible closer. For You I Am has the potential to be my SOTY.

>>55350931
Pvris, on the other hand, are excellent

>>55350350
disgusting

>>55350780
watch your fucking mouth

>>55351088

I agree it isn't bad music. but you're right, someone who's knowledgeable on guitar could have probably churned out an album like it at a pretty fast pace. To me the blandness of it is more annoying than something abrasive like perfect pussy, because even PerfectPussy at least tries to be adventurous with it's sound.

>>55350978
if you think they were bad then you must not like punk at all, cause they were just as good as other big punk bands, AND they had a message
>>55351000
same

>>55351259
Oh damn. I can't believe we forgot. Portishead are great. We also forgot based Stereolab.

>>55350859

They pretty much ruined punk. After them it would be impossible for a band with lyrics like Big Black, the Angry Samoans or Meatmen to exist.

No mention of The Slits? Or Bush Tetras? Or ESG?

>ruined punk
that's why there have been no good punk bands in the last 20 years
>>55351516
what the fuck is st vincent then

Honestly I think women are inherently worse at making rock music compared to men.

Rock is a genre fueled by masculinity. The only exception would be Patti Smith who was basically a dude.

>>55351832
What about No Wave though

>>55351832
Lydia Lunch nor Kim Gordon are feminine in anyway. All the best No Wave is fronted by men anyway.

>>55351832
this is the worst shitpost I've ever seen
crystal castles has more teeth-grinding fist-clenching songs than half of the male-fronted rock groups out there

>>55351754
>what the fuck is st vincent then
Annie. Saying St. Vincent is a band is like saying Bjork is a band.

>>55351924
I get your point but the main driving creative force of crystal castles is a guy

I'm absolutely on board with this.

>>55351984
that's how she's marketed, but she only plays guitar and writes, the rest of the band is important
kinda like how haim is marketed as 3 girls but there's other musicians in the band
>>55352046
CC wouldn't be shit without alice

>>55352110
I guess Bjork is a band too because she writes and other people play the instruments. He'll, solo artists don't exist because nobody does everything themselves.

>>55352110
>>55352689
Not to mention she's played more than one instrument on all her albums but S/T. Go look at Marry Me's credits. She can play guitar, bass, drums, synths, piano/keyboard, sand more all to a certain extent. Hell, she was in a band where she played bass. She's played bass with John Vanderslice.

>>55352689
>mac demarco doesn't exist

>>55350122
Shiina Ringo's band, tokyo something
Good art pop

>>55352793
Got a link showing he played all the instruments, produced, and nobody else was involved on all his albums? Since that seems to be your definition of solo artist.

>>55350152
I have a large body of evidence refuting this claim which I shall post if requested, but do you have any evidence supporting your claim?

no it is, I'm just saying 99% I never ever ever ever hear a woman play a good 'riff'. they just have a different way of playing guitar and I don't know why, it's weird. it's not a bad thing because most riff rock sucks dick, im just saying.
