i'm about nine years too late, but this was a great read. also, "Die Toten Hosen are likely the biggest band you’ve never heard of"--i'm quoting that!
Loved NTS.

I find Grohl quite overexposed, does he turn down any opportunity to get attention? I've never been excited about anything the FF ever released, it's boring radio-friendly crap. Grohl is not a go...
Lmao jealous nobodies hating on a rock god. So petty
Thank you for helping them share their music. Changed my life.
Very interesting article. In essence, I think you are saying that in Tom's hands, the analog console was simultaneously instrument and canvas, which he used in a masterful fashion rarely seen the...
hootie blows! kiss blows! they are at best novelties. rock and roll hall of fame is a joke almost as big as the city it is in!
OK, I complimented your last comment for summarizing the article better than the author did. This comment is better than the article itself.
Joe, that is a much better summary of the article than the one the author gave above, where he claims the whole point was that Grohl should use his platform to convince people to vote for Democra...
Dude, I liked the article but that "main point" (which I missed the first time) is ridiculous.
That's a hard one to come back from, yeah.
You could have bothered to Google him. According to Wikipedia:Hugo LargoDrum (1988)Mettle (1989)As Producer:Hetch Hetchy - Swollen (1990)Drunken Boat - See Ruby Falls (1990)Cowboy Mouth - Hurrica...
Tim Sommer-idiot. Wrong on so many things.
hey don't lump ELP into your criticism of Dave Grohl. Brain Salad Surgery was a groundbreaking album at the time, the vocals are full, and the keyboards are masterful, the stage show predated Pin...
Thanks so much, Alexandra, for featuring LANDFALL in the Brooklyn Bugle Book Club! I certainly feel honored by the company I'm keeping, given the other authors whose work you've highlighted. But ...
The Fall were a joke band promoted by a sneering BBC pervert to mock the listener. You are a tone deaf sheep. If everyone who listened religiously to The Fall dropped dead, the world would be a b...
He wrote an article that got published. You are a bottom-feeder troll commenter.
I have to agree dave is a talentless hack and anyone who thinks foo's is rock is probably 16 as is most of his fan base. The guy is a twat.
Damned dirty shame that the 'Strawberries' line-up couldn't of continued on, and Rat Scabies being more tolerant of the pop ditties Captain Sensible was heavily going towards during that time. I ...
OMG you put a fucking SUNNO)))) album on this list with a straight face? lol GTFO
Just had the horrifying late realization that Keith Jarrett isn't black.
So white, so old. What the hell is "the Compton"? How do you not put a single album by a black artist on your list? A Love Supreme doesn't make the list but fucking REM does? Syd Barret's a geniu...
And I ask you Timothy Sommer, have you never listened to music made by women?
My parents had a Paul Revere the Raiders records, even as a 8 year old I thought, this is cheesey---they sucked, oh my god how bad fuckin blow. Although their cheesey cover of Satisfaction got me...

You suck Richard Simmions sweat-bands you snot slurping mother fucker! Dave Grohl is Jesus himself! You just want to be Dave, because everybody wants to be Dave. You're just mad you're band sucke...
It was because of the Speedies that I got the nuts to venture into nightclubs as a 15 year old and create a fanzine with Eric Hoffert. Teen rock rules! P.S. both of us ended up with very differen...
The fact of the matter is, although Murphy's Law (and to a somewhat lesser extent, Reagan Youth) were (and still are) associated with the NYHC scene, that association was always more social than ...
It seems in the early 80s you guys listened to a lot of Oi. Why do you think it took until well into the late 80's early 90's for NY bands to specifically call themselves an Oi band?
Great article and true. Adam Yauch--later MCA--attended scores of Speedies shows in his early days.
Good enough opinion piece. Important to add that , in the end, most punk people and bands of the early times ended up no different from Rush fans. The intention, the reunions, toys and marketing?...
