If you think Shields reinvented guitar music you need to have your head checked

I love Arthur Russell as much as the next guy but I wouldn't say he's the best artist of all time
>>65253623
He's makes some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard and that's reason enough for me
>>65253677
and today it still sounds like it was made in the future despite already being decades old
>>65253735
Fuck outta here faggot
>>65253677
This guy >>65253623 is right. He was basically an acclaimed session musician who just happened to work on a few of his own projects before he died of AIDS. Sorry to go off at you, but I really hate the whole 'I like him so he must be the greatest' mentality that you and a lot of /mu/ seems to have.

Radiohead is only good because of Jonny Greenwood though.

That's what all music is about you dunce. There is only subjectivity

Brian Eno

It's like you haven't matured from an infantile state. Toddlers have trouble understanding that other people feel different than them and have different desires. Thinking some artist is the greatest just because you like them is stupid. This whole thread is pointless. Of course there is subjectivity, so maybe Arthur Russel can be your favorite musician, but to just automatically say he is the best ruffles my feathers.
Either way, this is a stupid thread. I also quite like Arthur Russel.
>>65254016
you should read a book about him or at the least watch his documentary and realise that he was much more than a session musician
>>65254016
Not enough to spell his name right, obviously
By your reckoning all music discussion or sharing of opinions is pointless
These people love their black and white photos.

the only serious contendors here
I want to add jim morisson and frank zappa. We are talking about musical skill and creativity so wether you like it or not they are objectively top tier. Also the guys from can zach hill and/or kashikura takashi.
I genuinely think they are the best band within the realm of pop music ever
