Forget the analytical analysis on why SWANS are the most important and astounding force in music for the last twenty years, I would prefer to make a primitive postulation that if you dont "get" Swans then you're a stone deaf cunt.

@TheRatjacket I like your logic!

@oneadamtwelve30 After looking at your favourite videos, I'm really not surprised you don't "get" this.

@thundertower Reet, I'm no bastard, I'm not going to insult you or your music tastes like others might do. If you don't like this then that's fair play but please don't go discrediting it because you don't like.

I like SWANS because of their ability to make songs of pure nihilism without having to abide by a single genre of music, it's like they infuse the musical ethics of other genres into their own unique sound.
