yeah but Super Unknown had the songs man! the songs!

Yeah but unfortunately it's not as good for mindless singing along to.

By the time Vedder gets to

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a star etc

everyone who I've ever played this with has been in absolute ribbons of laughter while performing over emotional warbling at the top of their lungs.

4th of July and Like Suicide just aren't as entertaining.

I suppose you could do a shot every time Corgan does a slide the length of the fret board or says "death". Still won't get you totally hammered though.

Power Violence.
Grindcore

Actually most things that end in core, not because of the tunes but because they tend to have a singer doing an impression of an angry bear.

Maybe you guys don't "get" the "bands I don't get" thread! I think I "get" every band mentioned here that I've heard. It doesn't mean I like them or that they're objectively good. But I "get" them.

Would you say you don't get some food you dislike?

"I don't 'get' spaghetti man."

"How about those Time Out bars? Cadbury's havebasically had one good bar if you put them all together. I totally don't 'get' those things. They're basically just wanky pink snacks.?"

The only music I don't "get"- recently anyway - is Ornette Coleman or really noodly jazzwank like that.


Stuff I didn't "get" for years:
Townes van Zandt (actually I still think I've a ways to go there)
Jonathan Richman - then one day, oh my
Charlie Mingus- then one day BAM
