It’s changed to “Her Majesty” by The Beatles.

A few years ago, I had what must have been a two-week period with Daft Punk’s “Da Funk” stuck firmly in the back of my mind.

Ouch. Anything repetitive like that is especially trying.

Wow I just have to chime in for a second about the dismissal of Kurt Cobain’s art earlier up there.

I can only speak for myself, but I think Kurt Cobain would clearly have continued his evolution as one of the greatest modern musical artists of the day--much more so than much of the inane indie rock drivel I see so many little scenesters around here so enamored of.

Cobain was a legend in his own time.  He was an amazing lyricist, and his ability to craft pop songs was in the same conversation as Lennon and McCartney.

Look at what some of Cobain’s contemporaries are doing now.

Vedder and company in Pearl Jam, in full form at the biggest concert in America.

The Melvins, well into their fourties, continuing to release new albums.

Do you seriously doubt what wonders he might have wrought?

The song in my head all day is ‘Heart Shaped Box’------------

‘Hey, wait, I’ve got a new complaint---
Forever in debt to your priceless advice.....’

so ironic

You’re right. “Teen Spirit” will be covered and sang at weddings like “Yesterday” and “Something”.

(that was sarcasm)

I liked Nirvana. I really did. What they were was a kick in the ass to a music community that was needing one, but they were anything but innovative. They took The Pixies’ formula and a riff lifted from a Boston song and started a revolution that was already burning out when its figurehead blew his brains out on that April day in 1994.

But to compare Nirvana, a band who was no better than the sum of their collective influences and downright derivative at times to band like The Beatles, whose music is so good that it’s actually a tired cliche to say how good they are, is criminally stupid.

Also, the idea that the band would still matter today because other bands from their time are still touring is just strange and like comparing apples and oranges.  Poison and Warrant, two bands that Nirvana proved irrelevant in the long run are still touring, also. So what does that mean about Nirvana?

I still resent grunge for being the wet blanket to the silly party that new wave was bringing to us in the wake of meaningless disco and too-meaningful punk. Those debbie downers and their plaid moping got rid of our Devos and our B-52s and our Talking Heads and even our Oingo Boingos and for what? So they could be just as irrelevant even sooner and beget emo? Thanks for nothin’ you flannel-clad sourpusses.

Last I remembered, New Wave was an early 80s phenomenon that lasted until around 84 at the latest, while Grunge hit the “mainstream” in the early ‘90s.

Your timeline is screwed, dude.

Maybe I was still listening for six years after the “official” end.

That’s fine, but don’t crap on a style of music because you were late to another style’s party.

the beatles are naught but (way overly) glorified monkees (but hey, if you like the monkees ... :)

Great, now I’ve got “Last Train to Clarksville” stuck in my head.

Today, it’s a mash-up called “Heatbreaker” (Led Zeppelin’s “Heartbreaker” with Martha and the Vandellas’ “Heatwave"). It’s like having two songs stuck, rather than the standard one.

“Don’t Worry Baby” by the Beach Boys.

“Little Green Apples” (the version performed by The Four Tops).
