ITT: Music that was way ahead of it's time.
I'll start. This album literally sounds like a trip-hop album circa 2006, but it was made in 1971, before trip-hop's precursors even existed.
Those guys.
>>48394092
Bonnie & Clyde by him sounds like it could have come out any decade since. Production on that is pretty ahead of its time.
>>48394221
I'll check it out. I've been loving Histoire de Melody Nelson and want to check out some of his other work, but his discog is so massive I don't even know where to start.
This song especially

Brokencyde's I'm Not A Fan But The Kids Like It. Nobody has made music with that sound before ever.
>>48394408
nice meme
>>48394374
good argument
Is this the most forward-thinking metal album ever?
>>48394528
probably not
>>48394288
wow sure buddy that's at least 15 lbums way too much music for one man wow I bet even the most hardcore fans can't listen to this much music
>>48394585
Epic, simply epic XD
>>48394604
I knowman I can't even conceive one guy can make this much albums he must have had goshtwriters no man can do this much work in a lifetime
>>48394092
Gainsbourg had many albums ahead of it's time. L' homme a tete de chou is even more singular than melody nelson. He is probably the only artist who made it through the 80's making good albums.
>>48394638
yeah, no good albums were ever released in the 80s everyone was lame from january 1st 1980 until 31st december 1989, I tip my hat to you my good music connoisseur fellow

Thanks for your valuable contribution !

Wow! Great post!
>>48394768

if no one points out your faggotry you'll never move past it : D
>>48394683
I meant any solo artist who had make his carreer before the 80's. 80's David Bowie was inferior to 70's Bowie, Udo Lindenberg declined in quality too. You don't even deserve a reply since you have a shitty personality, but I'm in a good mood so enjoy this post.
>>48394808
le smiley face :^)
>>48394811
wow you managed to quote all the two artists that made a career over the 70s and the 80s all by memory ? i can't believe that, I'm sure you looked on google

this thread is a trainwreck
Back on topic, a lot of Ariel Pink's early work predicted chillwave, which started the current trend of nostalgia based microgenres, so he was fairly ahead of his time.
>>48394883
just examples, name an artist who was better in the 80's than before.
>>48394960
Tom Waits
>>48394960
Art Zoyd
Present
Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine
Alain Bashung
Keith Jarrett
Ghédalia Tazartès
>>48394960
Kate Bush
>>48394960
bowie
>>48395152
>naming bands and solo artists that only had two albums before the 80's all of them post 1975.
I give you Keith Jarrett though, still the majority of musicians didn't make it through the 80's, in most cases did totally forgettable albums . Gainsbourg did it great.
>>48395248
70's Bowie shits on 80's Bowie, anon please.
>>48395324
meh I never liked him, not even going to argue about his music, also never liked Kate Bush.
>>48395397
>meh I never liked him
That doesn't really deny the fact that his 80s career was better than his 70s m9
>>48394092
the best thing about that album is the bass tone though. fender jazz with flats, using a pick and foam under the strings. you don't get that kind of sound nowadays.
>>48395422
I know, just trying to make clear that I'm not going to argue his case, since I always disliked his music.
There's still Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen (to be fair he only did one album in all that decade), Frank Zappa and others who did shit during the 80's.
>>48394200
can't argue about that
>>48395542
That's a just a general rule when you've released more than 5 significant albums in the decade you started in you're most likely going to fuck up in the next decade. Name me artists that started in the 80s and did better or equal music 10 years later.

The Art of Fugue, written in the 18th century, literally songs like a contemporary piece from a couple of centuries in the future.
>>48395605
mission of burma
>>48395605
that's very specific, I barely know single artists from the 80's, let alone release 5 significant albums, most bands or artists never release 5 significant albums.
Phil Collins was equally shit both decades.
>>48395605
Wire
>>48395767
I don't agree, but even if I did, it would be just 1 artist.
>>48395786
I never said the artists you needed to find had to release 5 significant albums. By artists I also meant bands, are you trying to play with words here?
>>48395808
Wire started in the 70s.
>>48395808
>started in the 80's
>released all their relevant albums in the 70's
Kill yourself.
>>48395605
most of the good bands that started in the 80s didn't make it to the 90s, they were more one shot bands or recorded only two or three albums in a couple of years
Etron fou leloublanc
Joëlle Léandre
Eider stellaire
>>48394092
>This album literally sounds like a trip-hop album circa 2006
Neither Trip-Hop was any sort of relevant in 2006 nor Melody Nelson remotely sounds like anything from that genre
>>48395837
>That's a just a general rule when you've released more than 5 significant albums in the decade you started in you're most likely going to fuck up in the next decade
I don't know in which way I'm supposed to understand that, but allright. Since I was arguing about solo artists originally, I wasn't talking about bands. Maybe the rolling stones, did good in the 70's and 80's highly arguable though, at least in terms of popularity they delivered good in both decades, also scorpions did good in the 70's and 80's, they were probably better in the 80's.
>>48395605
Madonna
R.E.M.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Sonic Youth
Swans
Coil, Current 93 and many other industrial groups and artists
Scratch Acid/The Jesus Lizard
Steve Albini
Beastie Boys (arguably, personally I'm not actually fond of their later stuff but everyone else)
Boredoms
Fugazi
etc.
>>48396004

le wrong
I'll agree on Jesus Lizard and Boredoms. Haven't listened to enough C93 to decide on that and Madonna/R.E.M I don't have much knowledge on them.
I keep having to remind myself that this was made in '83.
>>48396216
This album's influence is far wider than people think it is. If you ask me, it pretty much spawned industrial metal and nu-metal.
I was legit surprised that it was from 1979. I thought it was some indie 2006 shit.
>>48395837
>>48395842
Kill yourselves outside /mu/
>>48396321
It also influences loads of grindcore
>>48396098
>all that edge
Nick Cave's most successful period was the 90's and even now he's still very popular and his 2013 album was considered an AOTY contender.
Sonic Youth's SYR label which has some of their best work didn't even start until 15 years into their career.
I'm not really going to defend Swans, but it's likely you're just trying to rustle people.
Same goes for Coil.
>implying Shellac isn't a great band
Beastie Boys' 90's albums are highly acclaimed and some of their 00's stuff too.
The Argument is considered one of, if not Fugazi's best.

throbbing gristle made a techno tune in 1979
>>48396953
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUqnPYwoiF4
and some indian guy was making trancey acidy stuff in like 1982. crazy.
>>48396982
Crass and Flux Of Pink Indians were far more forward-thinking and creative than people give them credit for, especially in the later phases of their existence.
I'd say Peter Gabriel but I know i'd get thrashed
>>48394092
>trip hop circa 2006
trip hop's prime was between like 1990-1996
>>48397725
Good thing you didn't say it.
