Dunno. I've never heard of "spin" magazine so got no idea if it's likely to be a wind-up or just typically laughable, innacurate journalism. If it'd appeared in Kerrang i'd know for sure it was the latter.

As far as I was aware, it is an American 'rawk' magazine of some repute, in the same vain as Rolling Stone. I remember the reference in G'N'Rs 'Get In The Ring'.

I'll leaf through a copy if I see one in WH Smith or something, and try and work out whether it's meant to be funny or not. The inclusion of proper hardcore bands makes me think that it's probably just sheer idiocy, though to be expected if it's a Reader's Poll.

And we think Kerrang is bad?

I work in WH Smith and i've never seen it I don't know how easily you'll be able to find it over here.

Fugazi are definetly not hardcore more like post hardcore if you wanna be anal and label them.

incubus and staind arent even, quote, 'heavy bands' let alone hardcore.

r0ckdaisy · 20th November 2003, 6:10pm

oh dear god,
maybe it was supossed to be a list of bands that are more 'hardcore' than justin timberlake et al.
ok there's maybe 5 actual 'hardcore' bands on that list - a few nu-metal oiks, some pop bands and a couple of metal bands. does any1 know how it was compiled.
at least ptw, sick of it all, minor threat, eighteen visions and earth crisis are on it...

Fugazi - IMHO, I stress - are 'proper' emo; ie, emotional hardcore. So there is perhaps an argument for them being present.

Certainly a better argument for them than Incubus et al.

Shocking. Anyone actually bought it yet?

Heh...riight okay. Funny thing is, they're probably being serious.
And yeh, Spin = American rock mag...I think you can maybe get it in Borders, not sure though.

hardcore seems to be all-encompassing on this list, so Fugazi would definitely be a respectable choice. However, Fugazi sucks

The Colossus · 15th December 2003, 2:48am

Scary thing is that Spin is the 2nd biggest selling music magazine in america.

Nice to see linkinXpark made sure that that teeny nu- metal BLACK FLAG band never made the list....

AWESOMEUS MAXIMUS · 15th December 2003, 9:49am

Got to laugh though. And Crazy is correct, Fugazi are indeed shite.

At staying sXe? Oh no, wait - that's you.

[Point being, what a daft thing to say - just 'cos you don't like them, doesn't make them shite - because they're obviously highly competent musicians. You not liking them just means... you don't like them.]

*bowls over with laughter*

Largest of Gregs · 16th December 2003, 5:26pm
