Originally posted by Chip Chanko: I like him much more on his Portastatic releases, especially the last 2 (summer of the shark and autumn was a lark). He actually comes much closer to country on those (closer than superchunk, at least...except for their "foolish" album). QuoteOriginally posted by Rhett Miller: The guy from Superchunk has one of those nasally voices best suited for country music. Singing rock music, he comes off sounding like an annoying wussy. Sort of like one of my favorite country singers, the nasally voiced Robbie Fulks, when he tries to rock out. QuoteOriginally posted by HoyaSaxa03: superchunk is the shit. today's emo blows. [/b][/b]

Originally posted by Defcon9: i'm sorry you all can't grasp Superchunk's brilliance, but they were definitely one of the pioneers of emo.. well before SDRE was around. Too bad you missed the boat.
Originally posted by Rhett Miller: so Superchunk is the blame for the crap known as emo. There you have it.

Originally posted by chaz: No I'd say we have Rites of Spring to thank for emo. I don't really understand the whole emo tag these days...but for what it's worth Rites put out one killer record back in the day.
Originally posted by Bombay Chutney: I've read elsewhere that Rites Of Spring were the first emo band. I don't really know what's emo and what isn't. I do know that the Rites Of Spring record is amazing. Nothing else I've heard sounds anything like it. I find it hard to fathom that so many different sounding bands are all considered "emo". Genre names are becoming so broad they're almost useless these days.
