[Plato the Greek]

My favourite keyboard is the one the medieval princess plays as part of The Wyld Stallyons at the end of Bill and Ted. Or, alternatively, any keyboard with a monkey noise as standard.

The Nord isn't plastic...

But I do admire those extreme old school synths *drools*

I admit they come across as striving to be clever, but they are still a huge influence on so many people, even to this day... and that's ignoring me.

Are we not men? We are DEVO.

Devo, like Kraftwerk, are one of those supposedly legendary-influential bands that I FUCKING hate, probably more so because elitist vinyl jockeys insist that I don't "get them."

Ween - now there's a clever, funny and genuinely brilliant band.

I would comment, but in all honesty... I haven't heard 'Ween' thus cannot comment.

Theres nothing about Devo to ''get''....its just electronic pop ....and Kraftwerk are the same except more instrumental and erm.... German and totally guitarless

and Sparks, Foxx, DAF and The Human League ETC

all just total pop

influential cos they were among the first to do it

you can get most of it at woolworths probably - where all the 'elitist vinyl jockeys' hang out *chortle*

seen em all hanging round the Big W at the weekend

the fucking wanks

when synths are as cute as microKORGs, of course, of course they should be used in recordings. And also gardening.

[Doc Ascension]

YES! BUT ..

1. Only if they don't sound totally shitty fake instumenty

2. They are not overused so as to kill a song - balance them well and they can give real depth to guitars on their own.

That is all!

Yay as half the bands I listen to have keyboards/synths these days. Only hate them when really cheesy patches are used or when they are used in dance music, other than that they are ace
