Sorry if you took my previous writing as a tad offensive; as I stated before, I'm not wanting anyone to take it personally. Again, this is a pet hate of mine, so consider all of it as rather general. That you took the time and trouble to reply at all gets massive respect from me; I'm not wanting to shoot 'the messenger' or anything, so I'm not aiming this towards you just because you're representing those in favour of the 'classic' rock canon.

For starters, I've never stated this makes you either stupid or uncool. However, to make statements about 'greatest' rock songs and then turning out not to know the vast majority of the bands and artists I listed, which aren't just personal underground favourites, well, that's kind of strange. I'm not saying it makes you stupid, and definitely not uncool - in fact, if anything is not something to measure coolness with, it's taste in music. Frankly, if I played some of my personal favourites, like Vashti Bunyan or Devendra Banhart or Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, I'm sure your average hipster kid would deem them most uncool.

If this relates to the artists I posted, well, think again. Just because you haven't heard of Yo La Tengo, Low, Neutral Milk Hotel, Boredoms, Sleater-Kinney, Joy Division doesn't mean 'nobody' knows of them. These are widely known and widely respected bands - but that's not even my point, as I'm no fan of consensus, like I said. They're just great bands that deserve to be heard.

I think you can judge whether or not something is revolutionary quite objectively, but that's besides the point.

If it's emo or screamo, if it's good, then I'll listen to it.

You like emo and screamo? Go hear Envy, Yaphet Kotto, Amanda Woodward, Neil Perry, Kaos Pilot.

Well, we finally agree on something then.

Again, didn't mean to offend, if you were, sorry.
