Art Punk

According to yahoo, this is the genre of music that I most prefer.

The bands in this genre include:

Sonic Youth

and

Deerhoof

I'll add more as I come across them

Anyone know any other bands that might fit this parameter?

[Paper Hearts]

I don't believe either of those bands would call themselves that. Sonic Youth might go with Lo Fi. It's just post modernism.

Like I said, according to yahoo. I'm just trying to configure my launch cast player to play more of what I like.

[Paper Hearts]

ah. I know of a band from the 90's that was a lot like Deerhoof...I'll get you the name on Monday-remembering back to like 94' is a bit difficult for me now.

[Paper Hearts]

The band I meant is called Smack Dab. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that some members of Deerhoof were members of Smack Dab, previously-that's how similar they are.

Smack Dab albums were kind of rare, even back in the early/mid 90s, they might be even harder to find now-but if Deerhoof falls into "Art Rock" category, then Smack Dab should be there, as well.

sweet. That yahoo launchcast is pretty cool. It has a lot of stuff that you wouldn't think that it would. I've learned about so many bands that I never listened to before from there. Its worth the $20 a year or whatever it is.

Pretty much anything on Kill Rockstars is on there as it turns out.

[Paper Hearts]

As far as I know, Smack Dab only released two albums (one in maybe like 1993 and then another in like 1994) I have the later recording on CD, I'll let you have a listen if you can't find anything from them (now that I have your curiosity piqued over them, I suppose I'd be obliged to); I haven't listened to them in ages and would like to throw them in once again, anyway. -Pretty fun stuff.

Art punk?

What about Butthole surfers?

[Guest Game of Chance]

To be honest, yahoo has a very bizarre system of classifying bands by genre. For example, it has Queens of the Stone Age classified as (and I kid you not) Stoner. I don't know about you, but when I think of Stoner music I'm thinking Jerry Garcia or Steve Miller.

So yeah, maybe.

Ok maybe yahoo hired a bunch of stoners to compile that list. :laughing

I would never in my life mix QOTSA with Jerry Garcia or Steve Miller. WTF?????

could be.

Imagine my dilemma when searching for new bands in the same "genre"

[soothsayer]

It has to be a chore. All I can say is, never rely on a bunch of suits to know what is cool and what label most acts fall under. Search on my friend.
