>>74969007
This
>>74968873
>Death in June
>The Strokes
>Flipper
>Scott Walker
>Influential
even This Heat is arguable on how influential they are
>no Chuck Berry
>no Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Charlie Patton, Willie Dixon, Robert Johnson
>no Patti Smith
>no Siouxsie and the Banshees
>no Cure
also Throbbing Gristle is just musique concrete from the 60s dumbed down
fuck off with reddit and morty and i'll talk
>>74969034
By extension, Flipper is influential as fuck. Sludge metal and grunge are both in heavy debt to them.
The Strokes are inexcusable though
>>74969059
Flipper was hardly the first act to get sludgy though
>>74968939
yeah Nick Drake should be on it, you`re right
>>74968974
oh idk maybe its because music is SUBJECTIVE and Radiohead wore there influences on there sleeves and did nothing with it.
>>74969034
