Talk:List of lo-fi bands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Very broad definition
I think it's a pretty big stretch to call many of these bands lo-fi. I mean, Sufjan? Franz Ferdinand? Are there any specific criteria for inclusion in this list, or is it just "I think this is lo-fi, so I'm going to add it"? I tend to think this list isn't particularly useful in its current form, especially because many bands will release lo-fi albums early in their careers due to lack of money, rather than as a deliberate aesthetic. I'd argue that in those cases, it's not really fair to call the band lo-fi. If a list like this really has to exist (please convince me), I think it should be List of lo-fi albums.

What if the title of the page were changed from "List of lo-fi bands" to "Bands which have utilized lo-fi techniques" or something along those lines? Also, a notable omission might be The Black Keys? Bmathew 12:54, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't think The Black Keys are lo-fi at all. This is an awful list. It could probably be pared down to about 5% of what it is. Not to mention, it doesn't include some major players.
[edit] cleaning up the list
Some of our other pages that tend to attract non-notable listings have started removing any redlinked listing, and including a hidden comment to that effect (see any date article). If there are no objections, I'm going to do that here as well. Natalie 06:24, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
