I was with you until this one
There is literally nothing wrong with watching reviews and looking at charts for recs.
>>63384410
That's just my opinion, man. If anybody loves classic black metal, its me but I understand where you're coming from. I just think some of the older bands like Gorgoroth and Carpathian Forest are cheesy as fuck. Burzum, early Mayhem, early Darkthrone, and early Bathory are god-tier though.
>>63384486
>I just think some of the older bands like Gorgoroth and Carpathian Fores
well those suck donkey dicks, I agree with you there, (altough early CF are good).
Rap, hip hop, metal, country, and pop punk are all awful
I can't stand Jeff Mangum's voice
Comedown Machine is an extremely good record
Beirut are genuinely good
Currents is Tame Impala's best
Radiohead are probably the most important band of the last 25 years
WU LYF's album is on par with Funeral
Post-punk sucks except for Balkans
Yanqui U.X.O is better than F# A # infinity
>>63384532
I really like Deafheaven, although I didn't like their last album as much as previous albums, and I like WITTR. I think Liturgy fucking sucks though.
>>63384418
There is when you're like 90% of /mu/ and you don't deviate from the chart at all, and everybody listens to the same 20 albums all the time.
marquee moon would be far better as an instrumental album, without richard hell
>>63384373
>Almost all rap and hip-hop is unlistenable garbage.
90% of artists in every genre are shit, and the good few artists are celebrated. Rap and hip-hop aren't an exception here, the good:bad ratio is about the same there as it is everywhere.
>>63384373
I have nothing against diverse opinions on /mu/ I see nothing wrong talking about pop music. But lately this board seems to be over saturated with shitty memes.
Between that and shitty ITT threads filled with people trying to get (yous) and the even worst "what does ___ listen to"
I also hate that you cannot talk about any recent release or underground release that isn't already popular on /mu/ now without an influx in your thread calling shilling.
This place is like an abusive relationship now. I know I should leave but I don't have anywhere else to go.
All I want to do is breakdown albums and argue about the melodies on songs like I did 3 years ago.
>calling someone a racist for using the term "nigger rapper" is a copout

>>63384373
Does anyone have this without the text
I must add it to my collection
here we go
>Dubstep is shit, with the exception of one or two skrillex songs
>Coldplay are far better than Radiohead and, especially U2 (who are probably the worst band of all time)
>Blur's only good song is Song 2 and they really are talentless dickheads.
>Oasis is far better than Blur by a long shot and are the only good Britpop band besides Coldplay.
>Mumford & Sons and Imagine Dragons are actually pretty good and should be commended for being some of the few good indie bands who infiltrated the mainstream
>Music definitely has gone somewhat downhill and the shear quantity of music released nowadays means that good music is harder to find
>Trip-hop is shit (Even Burial and Massive Attack)
>Queen, PF, and The Beatles were really great bands and are probably the most influential artists of the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
>Nirvana was the second best artist of the 80s and the best artist of the 90s.
>UK Garage music is the best musical genre to be invented in the last 10 years and UK garage bands like the white stripes, the strokes, the libertines, and the arctic monkeys were defining bands of the decade
>I really don't like 'Oldschool' or 'newschool' rap music, but Gorillaz are the best rap group and one of the most creative and innovative bands of the 2000s
>I don't really like much any music released this decade except by established bands
>Metal is not for kids and is a great genre
>Most indie music like fun. and capital cities is crap for girls
>Electronic music isn't a talentless genre (See: Deadmau5, Disclosure, and Daft Punk) but most people who make it are talentless hacks and it barely counts as music
>most /mu/core is shit
>Daft Punk are actually really good and are deserve to be famous
>I don't think that songs without singing are good
>I think jazz is boring
>I think people who still download or own digital copies of music instead of just using spotify and youtube are stupid. And I think people who still buy physical music are even worse and are hipsters
>>63384767
I think Kendrick is a racist, and for that reason alone, I won't listen to his music. I'm white and I'm not going to listen to, nor will I support somebody who hates me and my people. Fuck him.
>>63384851
>>63384851
I agreed with all of these except for:
>Gorillaz are good
I think they're annoying and gimmicky.
>Nirvana was 2nd best 80's band, and best 90's band
I think they're overrated radio buttrock, and several much better bands came out of both decades.
>Don't like songs without singing
As an ambient/post-rock fan, I'm going to have to disagree.
>People who buy physical music are the worst
I work at a record store, and I collect records and tapes.
The rest are fucking solid opinions, though. You hit the nail on the head.
>>63384897
He's mostly right, though.
>>63384878
I think you're a re re, and for that reason alone you are a re re
The Fall is Gorillaz' second best album (behind DD) and a more important artistic statement than plastic beach
>>63384851
>Trip-hop is shit
I got to disagree, most is shit but there are some good gems out there Portshead is a good example
Also you gave away your underage-ness with the comments about physical music, Deadmau and Gorillaz
>>63384373
>Pink Floyd's first album is their best.

Agree with all these senpai
>>63384373
>The Beatles are actually pretty good, but their earlier pop albums are shit.
This is actually a pretty popular opinion on /mu/, it's just trash.
Underoath was a fantastic band after Spencer joined. Their first three albums with Dallas on vocals are shit.
>>63384373

Disagree 100% but still respect.
>>63384373

>>63385363
Disagree. I like some AnCo. Some is shit though.
>>63385363
>Animal collective isn't real animals
Painting With is AnCo's best album. Top 5 at least
Future and trap music sucks
Grimes is shit
Fantano's taste is decent
Kendrick Lamar might be the best rapper ever
TwentyOne Pilots are decent. Not horrible nor amazing.
Music is subjective
Panda Bear is the Brian Wilson of our time.
Person Pitch is the Pet Sounds of indie music
Justin Bieber is decent
The Glow pt 2 is boring
>Joy Division influenced some great bands, but their music fucking blows
>Lana Del Rey is pretty good, but her legion of copycats blow chunks

>>63385509

This is the only good opinion in this post.
>>63384373
I agree with most of these
>>63384851
Holy shit

>Dads are a good band (except their last album that was complete trash)

I agree with these
Here's mine
>Pearl Jam are just as bad if not worse than Nirvana.
>The only good punk bands came out of California.
>The Eagles were amazing
>Reflektor is Arcade Fire's greatest achievment.
>Swans are fucking boring

>>63385696

>>63384373
>>Lewronggeneration kids are fucking annoying and there is definitely some good modern music, but old music was generally better
Are you actually this stupid?
>>63385648
Judging your opinions because why not
>Pearl Jam are just as bad if not worse than Nirvana.
Nirvana were the tits m8 what the fuck
>The only good punk bands came out of California.
nah
>The Eagles were amazing
Agree, shame that they're only known for "that" song.
>Reflektor is Arcade Fire's greatest achievment.
Too inconsistent and long, Suburbs stands as their artistic peak imo
>Swans are fucking boring
How? They covered so many styles and moods it's hard to say that. Have you heard Oxygen from To Be Kind?
>Imagine is John Lennon's worst song
It certainly is massively overrated but he has way worst songs
>Swell Maps > Joy Division
Nah Closer is god-tier
>>63385696
I can get behind this. He probably influenced more people than Lamar until now, but Lamar will probably surpass him in the long run as far as influence goes. Lil B's mark is there though.
>>63385509
muh nigga

Indeed, I loved that album as much as their first two
>>63385959
The Money Store is Death Grips' worst album
I did not like Souvlaki
The Burning World by Swans isn't their worst, that title belongs to Children of God
Diamond Dogs is Bowie's best album

Jean-Luc Ponty is the only jazz violinist worth a damn
>>63385982
They're literally a manufactured pop band. They didn't form like a normal band. They were assembled. That's corporate as fuck, and the opposite of punk. Also, the vocals sound like a whiny brat and Sid was a junkie and a murderer.
>inb4 "all punk vocals sound like a whiny brat!!1!"
Danzig has a wonderful voice.
>>63384553
>Radiohead are the most important band of the last 25 years
Well, duh. Who else comes even close? Pavement? nah
>>63385514
+ silversun pickups and Blackgaze
>>63386015
>Danzig has a wonderful voice.
wow
Human After All is the most influential album of the century so far.
MSTRKRFT's Fist Of God changed hip hop more than Kanye West.
Bowie's 90's output will soon be seen as some of his very best, and most forward thinking.
The Beach Boys have no good albums. Their great songs are all scattershot throughout their discography.
Early U2 is good.
Hip hop is racist in its derogatory vocabulary. It sets the president that blacks are degenerate "others."
Ok computer has 4 great tracks and the rest are awful.
There's a lot of excellent rock being produced, but it goes unnoticed because it is very "out" right now.
>>63386116
I think most people like early U2.
>>63386116
I know a patrick baitmen when I see one
>>63386116

>>63386015
>the opposite of punk
Punk wasn't really a thing before they released NMTB.
Queen is the most overrated band of all time and Freddy Mercury isn't even a quarter of the musical genius people think he is.
>>63384851
I share a board with people like this.
They could post in the same threads I post in.
>>63386239
Seconded.
>>63386214
The term "punk" was coined several years before NMTB, and there were already significant punk releases out in both the US and the UK at the time, including the Ramones, The Clash, a few EPs and demos by The Misfits, and even Raw Power if you want to count the Stooges third album as punk instead of proto-punk. The name, the sound, and the culture were well-established and the Sex Pistols just cashed in on the trend.
Please educate yourself on music history.
>>63386349
>Ramones
Didn't debut until after The Sex Pistols were formed in '75.
>The Clash
>The Misfits
Weren't even formed before The Sex Pistols.
>proto-punk
That's still not punk.
Who needs to be educated?
>>63386613
NMTB came out in late 1977, after the Ramones debut, after The Clash debut, and after The Misfits first EPs and demos.
>>63385509
>Panda Bear is the Brian Wilson of our time.
>Person Pitch is the Pet Sounds of indie music
I'm pretty sure noone is gonna disagree with you here.
>>63386750
Your point being? You claimed that they "cashed in" as if there was something to cash in on in 1975 when none of your aforementioned bands had either formed or released any material.
>Kanye is GOAT
>TPAB isnt that good

All wrong except for this
>Medulla is the best Bjork album
>In The Attic of the Universe is near-flawless and the best Antlers album
>Elliott Smith never wrote a bad song and is one of the best musicians of the 90s
>Black Wing was one of the best albums of 2015
>Red Birds Will Fly Out of the East and Destroy Paris In A Night is one of the best Coil songs
>Selected Ambient Works Vol. II and drukqs are both severely flawed and are Aphex Twin's two best albums anyway
>>63384663
But does Poe's law account for the fact that your "good" rap is also awful?

>>63384373
EDM is better than any of your faggot tier indie rock, you´re just too old, senile and used to spoonfeed yourself with Now Thats What I Call Music EP´s and radio top 5 singles to actually discuss future house / brostep :^)

So many silly people on this board tonight.
i just listen to whatever the fuck i want and i dont care about other's opinions. when i want new music, i go to threads and pick out the ones i like.

So many pretentious faggots here who are listening The Kooks or whatever and thinking that they're superior
Blue is the only passable passable Weezer album. Everything afterwards is simple plan-tier shit.
"Beats" in Hip Hop are for the most part a big joke. If your hip hop track is built around your boring fucking beat and your instrumental has nothing else to offer your music sucks shit.
At least there's a lot of hip hop music that tries to do more with their instrumentals, so that's good. I'm not sitting here saying all of hip hop is trash. But a majority of them have instrumentals that aren't worth a damn.
Kanye West is bad at sampling music.
>>63384851
>UK Garage = White Stripes (from Detroit), Strokes (from NYC), Libertines & Arctic Monkeys

UK Garage is an electronic music genre. It's stuff like The Streets, Artful Dodger or Oxide and Neutrino.

Trout Mask Replica is a shitty meme album and everyone who claims to like it is faking.
Punk music is pure garbage, the whole genre.
Rap music is a novelty genre and is 100% shit whenever it takes itself seriously.
The 80's actually had some of the best music of all time come out.
There is literally nothing that compares to classical music, nearly everything that was created in the 20th century is degenerate shit

1) theyre the only medium a lot of albums i like were ever released on (due to obscurity, no cd re-release, not available as a DL on blogs et.) so buying them is a necessity and in no way a novelty
2) why the fuck would you spend loads of money (presumably you just buy new records or go to shit record stores where they massively overprice the second hand section) on something you regard as a novelty?

Horrible opinions m8
Duke is the best Genesis album
Hip-Hop is the ugliest nuisance ever to be called music. Perhaps I could endure it while on cocaine, but since it's for people with rather sick notions of what's enjoyable, even then I would still enjoy it less than almost anything else there is to listen to. And since unprecedented freedom of choice reveals that punishment's gluttons are the largest demographic, I can only take it as catastrophically bad news about the human condition generally.
Hip hop doesn't have any composition to speak of, at least none that wasn't trumped 500 years ago. Rap music has the melodic complexity of a train horn (actually less; train horns often are tuned to a tritone, which seem to be absent in Rap) and the lyrical complexity barely goes beyond a 3rd grade vocabulary. Not only is this music intended for ignorant audiences, it's intended to provoke ignorant young people into committing crimes, in order to fill the for-profit prisons in the US.

>90% of artists in every genre are shit, and the good few artists are celebrated. Rap and hip-hop aren't an exception here, the good:bad ratio is about the same there as it is everywhere.
Orchestral music, be it Classical or Avant-Garde, has a much better quality ratio simply due to the fact that it takes a lot of effort and money to arrange an orchestra and pay dozens of musicians. This barrier of entry deters complete garbage for the most part.

>The Beatles are actually pretty good, but their earlier pop albums are shit.
Stopped reading there. With the Beatles and A Hard Day's Night are some of the best pop albums of their era.
/mu/ would probably like 21 Pilots older stuff if they weren't popular on tumblr.
I don't get how someone can legitimately say "all hip-hop" or "all metal" sucks when they're such broad genres.
Is it just people being needlessly contrarian?

>Pantera are a good band that, whether people like or not, invented an entire style of metal that we now know as groove metal.

>The Beatles are actually pretty good, but their earlier pop albums are shit.
Though I don't agree, it's justified. Their early albums are merely pop-albums and that's why a lot of dumb teenage girls loved them like they would love JB a few years back. The albums since Revolver were really creative, genius, influential and groundbreaking, so in comparison, the early ones are inferior.
>Human After All is a great album
Fuck yes, let me suck your cock.
>While the guitar is more versatile, the drums are the most important rock instrument
I would say drums and bass, but judging on the black keys and the white stripes drums is the essential to maintain the rhythm in rock, metal, jazz, etc.
As for everything else, I would say you probably haven't listen to a lot of that stuff and are not really sufficient.

>Lyrical complexity of a 3rd grader
This is the argument that pisses me off with these idiots. You listened to young thug or fucking wiz khalifa and formed the ridiculously ignorant opinion that all rap is niggerspeak about guns and drugs, and now you try to defend it with bullshit arguments that don't even make sense like that they don't have composition, which makes no sense. You're just exposing yourself as an idiot when you try to talk music and clearly have little knowledge
Scaruffi is right about almost everything

>To Pimp A Butterfly is a great album.
>"Modern classics" don't exist, as a classic is something that can withstand the test of time and still sound fresh. The whole idea of it is an oxymoron.

No, I'm confusing laws. I was thinking of Sturgeon's Revelation.
But thank you for devaluing the meaning of the word 'reddit'. Significant work was put into identifying the mannerisms of a reddit poster, and you ruined it all with one post.

Shame
>I really don't like most jazz music, although I can't say it bores me.
Eh
>Loveless is just ok, same with MBDTF.
I disagree but see where you're coming from. MBDTF is overrated for sure
>Random Access Memories is just as good as Discovery.
Fuck RAM. That album's so obnoxious. Way worse than Discovery
>To Pimp A Butterfly is a great album.
Agreed
>"Modern classics" don't exist, as a classic is something that can withstand the test of time and still sound fresh. The whole idea of it is an oxymoron.
You're not wrong but at the same time calling something a modern classic is usuay under the connotation of prediction.
>Currents is a fantastic album with very good production. Easily an 8/10 for me.
Does /mu/ not like Currents? I loved Currents as well and I hardly ever see hate for it. It was well-recieved around its release I believe
>>63384851
10/10 literally the best bait I've seen this year
The first Queen albums up until A Day at the Races are fantastic, but all of the ones after that are mediocre at best and people only give a shit about the singles.
>>63384851
>I don't think songs without singing are good
What are you even doing on this board? Are there really people with tastes THIS limited here?

>>63396493
agreed hes literlly just memeing everyone so hard with his public persona imo
>>63396506
He makes money out of it to be honest. The shit he does isn't even that bad the media just sensationalize the shit out of it. Sure he's said some dumb shit before but he makes good music, and during which although he can be big headed he can also be pretty humble.
He had to work hard to get where he is now - he's doing about 4000 things at once and he's perhaps one of the most influential artists of this decade. The poster-boy for rap.
He gets a lot more shit than he deserves and I'm not surprised he's going a bit loopy now given his level of fame.
Despite this he seems genuine. He has his faults but we all do. To be honest, who really gives a fuck at the end of the day people just love to hate him because it makes them feel better about their shitty lives.
I feel a bit sorry for him... I feel that his music will only go downhill from here though if he doesn't get his shit together soon.

Honestly, these aren't that bad
>>63396615
i think the traits you decribe are very deliberate marketing ploys t b h, i think the dude just knows how to stay relevant. the dudes been one of the biggest artists on the planet since the early 00's which is rare, and i feel he uses these media spazz outs to help keep him in the public eye, theres no such thing as bad pulicity etc.

Thank you
OK Computer is Radiohead's 3rd best album.
>>63396797
I was thinking the same thing.. They have almost no common ground
Piper at the Gates of Dawn is shit. I hate the term, but if anything deserved to be called 'dadrock' its this fucking album. Any Zeppelin album(besides ITTOD) is miles better than Piper. Even Wish You Were Here is better.
I've got one
Radiohead's Treefingers is among the best ambient ever made
the last 5ish minutes of GY!BE's Static is among the best drone ever made
superior artists make experimental music better than dedicated experimental artists

>implying that "Diamonds On the Soles of Her Shoes" isn't the best Graceland song
>>63397029
Wiw that is one terrible opinion. I feel pretty bad for you. Thinking ripoffs of already done rock n roll riffs and stale as fuck lyrics about sex 4/5 songs is better than the masterful psychedelia of Pipers.
>EVEN WYWH is better
>thinking WYWH isn't good
Oh that explains it, you just have terrible taste
>>63397255
I think that's the reason I like Yeezus more than most Death Grips.

Well probably not since Death Grips are superior to Kanye musically
