This is just critically ignored, even though it's actually great, horrible example

This desu. Houses of the Holy is their best work.

>>61559327
No, When the Levee Breaks gets jizzed about all the time as well as Stairway

>>61559525
Comfortably Numb? Most of the critical praise goes towards the "story" or whatever, even though it's a shit story

>>61559157
Sure but how can you blame them, it's the obvious centerpiece

>>61559035
Wrong as well, the title track doesn't have any of the funk that Funkadelic (no surprise there) is praised for

Literally no good answers so far

Not really, Kevin is a master of "texture" and psychedelic production

Appreciate them for what they are dickhead not how they compare to muh real art

He might have been referring to Feels like we only go backwards, but I don't think that is true, the critics probably enjoyed the psychedelic epic tracks like Apocalypse Dreams more

Every single one of these tracks gets regular radio rotation and is considered a hit.

>>61559676
is this bait?
how can you even not like Fixing a Hole? or Lucy? or fuck, how about the damn title track?

idk maybe it's just because that band (and that album in particular) got me through some rough times in high school but I have always thought the Beatles were dope and highly innovative and I really don't understand why they catch so much flak from everyone just because they happened to also be attractive and therefore popular

>and I really don't understand why they catch so much flak from everyone just because they happened to also be attractive and therefore popular
That's literally the only reason, besides that they're "overrated" which you'd fucking expect from one of the most popular bands ever, doesn't make them any less good

You mean Cowbell or Misfits song?

I mean the obvious one that got to P4k's top 20 songs of the decade whilst the album itself didn't even make the decades top 50 whilst being their album of the year
