INDIAN ACTS IN BLENDER’S LIST OF ‘100 HARD ROCK BANDS YOU MUST LISTEN TO’

October 14th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in News

Blender’s known for its vast variety of lists. As with most lists related to music, the results are often (always) debateable. The new issue of the Indian edition of Blender features the clinically titled list ‘100 Hard Rock Bands You Must Listen To’.

Making the cut among international acts like Nirvana (#3), The Ramones (#8), Meatloaf (#86) and The Clash (#8) are a few Indian acts. Here are the Indian bands that made it to the list of ‘100 Hard Rock Bands You Must Listen To’

Thermal And A Quarter (#48)
Junoon (#53) (not Indian though)
Pentagram (#76)
Agnee (#81)
Colourblind (#87)
Zero (#95)

In case you were wondering, Led Zeppelin were #1, The Sex Pistols were #2 and Deep Purple were #100. But Zero behind Junoon, that’s just wrong.

Stick a glockenspiel, a ukulele and a few handclaps on a young folk-pop quartet and voila, the claim of new Neutral Milk Hotel is easy to throw around. Add a reference to a Wes Anderson movie and you’ve got yourself something that’s either very easy to dismiss as contrived or very easy to love. There’s no middle ground here.

So where do Noah And The Whale find themselves?
