Let’s discuss any and all music here. You’ve got a new artist who’s rocking your boat that you want to talk about? Post a video! Found out about that unearthed Coltrane album that has the jazz freak in you losing your mind? Lay it out for us! Do you have a theory about what your favorite band might do for their next album? Let’s hear it! Anything and everything music-related goes here.

This week’s discussion prompt comes courtesy of The Avocado’s very own Bresson:

What are some “follow-up” bands that are just as good or even better than the famous band they spawned from?

I do not share the somewhat increasingly popular (around The Avocado, anyway) opinion that the Sex Pistols were “bad” – and while I no longer hold it in quite as high esteem as I did when I was a teenager, I also still happen to think that Never Mind the Bollocks is an incredible album. But there’s no question in my mind that Public Image Ltd. are by far the more interesting band. While their output overall has been a tad inconsistent over the past 46 years, their early run of albums from 1978 to 1984 in particular is more than enough to cement their legacy as one of the essential post-punk bands of that era. And Metal Box (aka Second Edition) is an undisputed classic that remains influential to this day.

As always, any any all music-related posts are welcome. Have fun, and rock out with yr guac out!
