post bands/artists that /mu/ loves who are actually not great (bonus for no easy targets like death grips, anco, radiohead, etc.)
>>64189412
Who is this /mu/ person?
>>64189412
why are unwound bad tho?
>>64189446
unwound
they're great
The Flaming Lips
Interpol
The Strokes
>>64189500
i can get behind this
>The Antlers
>Weezer
>Brand New
>The Avalanches
>Slowdive
>>64189500
these
Beach house
Run the Jewels. I'm not joking or trying to start a flame war
From a technical standpoint they're near perfect. But theyve basically only ever written two songs:
>banger with lots of fast rapping and dirty humor
>socially conscious banger with lots of fast rapping and dirty humor but since it's a serious song the humor is awkward
Why are they near the top of the /mu/ hip hop totem pole? Most other /mu/core artists have much more depth and aren't just one trick ponies.
They're like the Steve Vai or Eric Johnson of rap-technically impressive fluff
>The Fall
>Portishead
>Joanna Newson
>Van Morrison
>Jeff Buckley (who is fucking laughably bad)
>Mobb Deep
>any and all Britpop
he was an amazingly cool guy and will always be remembered, but his music took a swan dive into plebsville after slow deep and hard, though that was admittedly a masterpiece.
>>64189412
>Bob Dylan
>Interpol
>Weezer
>Ween
>any shoegaze band
>any neo-psychodelia band
Unwound is great though
>>64189730

>>64189898
You're wrong about that last one because all patricians agree that the Flaming Lips are amazing
>>64189412
This fucking bait ass thread.
>>64190017
only their noise rock albums are good
>>64189500
Flaming Lips USED to be good.
Interpol has one good album
not really into The Strokes
Also Unwound is really good, OP is just retarded
>>64190017
their first albums are the good ones, but are not that great.
>>64189898
>bob dylan isn't good meme
>mfw
>>64190017
>>64190068
>>64190072
Explain why their psychedelic pop albums are not good. I know you're being blatantly contrarian
>>64189412

>>64189730
falls good
buckley is really good
and thats pretty much an objective fact

None of those are good. Prove me wrong.
Hard mode: Don't say "influential", "beautiful", "emotional", "texture", or "well composed"
>>64189658
>Why are they near the top of the /mu/ hip hop totem pole?
Because p4k drones
>>64189658
Their music is very average lyrically compared to their solo stuff, they basically rap about nothing and use buzzwords. Production is pretty good usually, still weak on some songs.
Their music gives off a very eminem-esque vibe too in that it's aimed heavily towards angsty teenage boys. RTJ 7/10 >RTJ2 6.5/10

no for every single one of those except HANL, even though Deathconsciousness is decent
>>64191027
plebbiest post of the day
Any /mu/core band that you like. If we happen to like the same artist, they're only bad when you think about them.
