Pop Punk / Re: Famous Punk Bands No one Likes

I have a Generation X tattoo and don't even like them. Also I'm being misquoted. SOUTHERN HOSTILITY IS THE HAMMER.

The Southern Hostility LP by Antiseen is so far beyond this fucking universe it's out of the question for me to even come to its defense. R&B Discharge singles, you goddamned cowards. TSOL "Dance with Me" is an island of a great record.
I feel as though, when you started this topic, you meant to say The Meatmen.

The only song I would like to hear the Melvins cover more than The Blue Mask by Lou Reed is Bullet the Blue Sky.

Eno and Lanois production sounds like Soundtracks for the Blind-period Swans. Further to this, on the Swans record in question is featured a drummer named LARRY MULLINS. Elementary, my dear Watson.

It's all grand, up to the present day, but '78-'82 is my prime era, especially the Tracks stuff that sounds like the American London Calling. "Roulette" is the hammer.

-The Dictators ROIR tape from '81 is the best thing they ever did
-Tom Waits "Big Time" simply because of Marc Ribot.
-Electric Masada "From the Mountains of Madness", but that's pushing it into jazz-fusion territory, where all of a sudden every record worth having is live...
-Rollins Band "Do It" expanded, live in Australia, pretty much anything...
-Antiseen "One Live Sonofabitch"
-Roky Erickson and the Explosives "Casting the Runes"
-As far as live Swans records are concerned, the double disc of their last tour is mandatory... don't remember what it's called though
Also, cool that the Sam Cooke is getting props (Harlem Club trumps the Copa any day) as well as the Curtis, but none of the Live at the Apollo revues have been mentioned, have they? Especially James Brown.

What a bunch of fucking cold-blooded reptilian know-it-all philistine motherfuckers... At least I don't publicize the things that I know I'm utterly, irrevocably wrong about.

A strong reference point is Voivod circa Nothingface/Angel Rat. If you're down (no reason not to be) then dig in. Even the patchier records post October File (which is brilliant) have great moments.

Toots Thielemans is the best jazz harmonica player I can think of, one of the only ones. He's absolutely amazing, and though he is typecast, he's played with a wide range of folks, from Ella Fitzgerald to John Zorn. (He's great on the Morricone tribute.)

Re: psychedelic jazz
Sonny Sharrock - "Black Woman" has rock (not fusion) tendencies, might do the trick. A great deal of the Art Ensemble of Chicago's records, particularly stuff in Paris w/ Fontella Bass. Larry Young "Lawrence of Newark" is another one. Alice Coltrane of course... Ayler's "New Grass" is pretty much free-jazz noisemakers playing exultant R&B, which in terms of influence might be what you're looking for.
Re: female jazz musicians
One of the most individual musicians playing right now is a bassist/singer named Esperanza Spalding. I saw her a couple of times this summer and thought she was great. Geri Allen is a cool pianist. Yumiko Tanaka is really out there from what I can tell. There is a conspicuous shortage.
