the real, one and only NEVERMIND poll

I love this song.

Definitely a big nod to Funkadelic on an album George Clinton produced. Totally a circa-1984 version of the Funkadelic songs taking #shots at "Doofus" and "Earth Wind and No Fire" as part of their <i>Let's Take it to the Stage</i> manifesto of being the best band on earth when it came to performing. This ideal was really influential to the Chili Peppers and Public Enemy (who sampled the fuck out of <i>Let's Take it to the Stage</i>), ultimately two of the best live bands of the 1980s

All and said and done, Chili Peppers from 1983 to 1991 has more classics than any of these bands. They really won this war both commercially and critically.

First to the rock and roll hall of fame too, though I suspect Duran Duran can't be too far behind...

is this copypasta or are you actually asserting this

Soft Cell by about a bazillion miles

I'll be pretty surprised if Duran Duran beats H&O to the hall of fame. Figure all those '70s pop-rock acts left out will get ushered in before we bring in low-cred new romantics

This sounds like the J Geils Band more than Funkadelic to me

lol, yeah, but it's somewhere in between the two

Voting for the one I would be most bummed to see with a goose egg, so I'm voting for Zapp

^^ my vote (runners-up: Soft Cell and H&O I guess)

Zapp, then Soft Cell, and then either H&O or RHCP

Lol xp

I believe Zapp was a solid live act in the 80s too

ok that is an immense jam, ty (xp)

that Jonzun Crew clip is fucking incredible

Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)
Young Guns (Go for It!)
Bad Boys
Club Tropicana
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
Careless Whisper
Freedom
Last Christmas
Everything She Wants

I would pay almost any amount of money to see the Chili Peppers do a club show where they only play pre-1995 music

1996

should have changed the lyrics to be a little more 1996...

NEVERMIND THE THIRD EYE BLIND

Whiney, I think it will give you much pleasure to learn that my internal reaction to this was "Man, I just do not get the kids"

^those guys are a couple of goats

the person who keeps adding "POSTS AS UNDERRATED ETC" to my wiki page is still at it :(

fuck that person.

^^underrated comment I have agreed with.

voted Gap Band just to make sure they scored but the answer is Zapp tbh

i had no idea the intro was a Lightning Rod thing until well into my adulthood

Gonna see them in a few weeks. I don't even recognize this band

Neil Young cover is played pretty straight, sounds decent enough

Chad & Mauro & Josh Jam

Sounds like a HORDE thing.

Zapp all the way

seeing as how Zapp was at the root of Clinton's cross-label empire going kablooey kinda wonder if it wasn't his influence behind the lyrical reference

cuz I kinda doubt Kiedis or Flea would seriously argue they're better than Zapp and Roger

voting RHCP

as for their new shit, jesus wept. I heard 'Look Around' off the new album and it seriously almost put me off my food. They've really gone to Chris Cornell-esque lengths to make me hate them.

I'll totally cosign Whiney's wish for a pre-95 RHCP concert.

god that set list is depressing

Nick Cave otm forever

the best/worst thing about that quote is Flea's crestfallen reaction

haha Nick Cave yay

If this is a poll of songs called Nevermind, you missed out Marissa's

It's not - it's bands mentioned in that one RHCP song.

Ok, cheers and thanks.

Nevermind.

thing is you'd never be near a radio and hear Nick Cave playing that goth cunt

yeah he's pretty much safe as houses for the reverse backlash, lol

OH YEAH WELL I JUST HEARD YOU ON...wait nevermind

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Jonzun Crew is so amazing

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
