Netsky

I understand that Netsky is a far cry from all the underground darkstep/neuro/techstep heavier stuff, but geez, he shouldn't be flamed for making music in his own style. Boris has said that he's inspired by funk and soul, and his music is aligned as such, giving it a distinct feel that's kind of lost in the raw, uncut underground scene. It's really apples to oranges; whereas folks like Spor, Noisia, Mefjus, and BSE are very technically oriented, Netsky and the electrostep crowd exhibit skill in an entirely different way. I don't see why you guys who have been in the scene for years feel the need to ostracise "casuals" like me; you enjoy your DnB, we'll enjoy ours, even if ours isn't "real."

Netsky has talent but he's way too mainstream. His tracks wear off so fast and get boring. No offense guys but there's much more advanced DnB out there.

I hear all these good comments of Netsky.. downloaded maybe 7 of his songs so far; now I'm a deff a drum n bass fan but all his songs sound the same! Should try to make his songs more amp rock like "Fool Yourself" by Chase and Status ft. Plan B ft. Rage or in my opinion "fun to jam to drum n bass liek "Ugly" by Bassnectar Feat Amp Live!!

Get real...great music but dnb is about the live show...for all you who listen at home and don't leave the couch.

Stan has some good work done, even if he is young. No one can deny that. Your opinions are irrelevant when it comes to judging talent, as the list is determined by the majority. You may not think he's that good, but you don't need to trash him for it. The guy's good. End of story.

It's really funny how the only people who hate Pendulum are the D&B purists who hate how they've deviated and made their songs sound a little more like actual SONGS. All they did was take D&B and add more melody and stuff to it. I am a totally neutral party, and I think their stuff is awesome. It's dumb to judge music based on your own stupid expectations and how "true" they are to one specific genre. If you think it's getting crappy as D&B music, then just let it be what it's turning into and stop complaining. Try to look at things more objectively.
Added 13 years ago by guest, 12 points
You speak the truth. Most dnb sounds pretty much the same anyway, Pendulum are just more professional than most dnb acts. It's silly to give them thumbs down just cuz they are successful.
Added 13 years ago by guest, 11 points
The only reason people say pendulum are crap is because they're too arrogant to admit that they like a band that got into the top 40 from a genre that is typically seen as underground. GET OVER YOURSELVES! pendulum are good, i'd have them about 3rd or 4th.

These guys used DnB as a platform, nothing else. The Vault is their best DnB tune and its what made them. Other than that they are a band that basis there sound on a simple 1-2 dnb beat. Anybody who classes them as top DnB just doesnt know DnB. I have been DJing in the Scene for over 10 years and these are never in my crate unless im playing to non DnB heads. The only way DnB comes in their title is if you say "students-who-dont-understand-DnB" Number one my arse!!!!

Pendulum's the best guys, they have variety in their music. Everyone else is also good, but the same beat. I think that's a Pendulum's property that keeps them on top.

When regarding DnB from a band, you put their DnB songs in regards....
All of pendulum's DNB are amazing. From HYC to their earlier stuff.
Songs like Follower, Masochist, Trail of Sevens, Tarantula, Hold Your Colour, Slam, Steamline, Distress Signal, Ulterior Motive, and Vault are GODLY tracks.
So what is pendulum plays a whole new genre? They still incorporated DnB in their new songs and yet, they made DnB appeal to more people because my discovery of Pendulum led to my discovery to sick DnB tracks.

Now I haven't really listened to enough Sub Focus to say Pendulum is better but I would like to say that anyone who has said that Pendulum has "Cheesy" things in their songs holds true for maybe 2 songs... Other than that songs like Hold Your Colour, The Other Side, Propane Nightmares, Blood Sugar, Granite, and tons of others are amazing, so don't even make a single comment against pendulum till you listen to some of those.

with pendulum, they always do something u dont expect such as set me on fire, the vulture etc...thts y they r second
Added 13 years ago by guest, 0 points
I liked the old pendulum better because it was more minimal with the vocals. then they started going crazy with the EMO ( bad religion) type vocals. it took on a new more linear sound. saw them at coachella and it seemed like a early emo band up there. but they are still amazing don't get me wrong, just my hyper critical 2 cents.

There are many other artists in this list that don't produce 100% DnB, and I agree Skrillex does a lot of Dubstep, but his DnB tracks (MONSTA-Holdin' On Remix and Birdy Nam Nam - Goin' In (Going Hard Remix)) were awesome; so take that in mind for just a few seconds. And just because he prefers to make dubstep does not mean he should not be allowed in this list.

Just because he made ONE drum and bass song doesnt mean you can add him to this list. With that logic, I could add Tinie Tempah to this list cos of his drum and bass break in 'Pass Out' but that would be unwise now, wouldn't it?
