Albums Americans will never get

babyfather
I told /mu/ I didn't understand the appeal of this and they told me you have to be a Britbong
>>65443264
But I love this album :(
this
>>65443284
I'm glad of read this, what else of the genre you like?
These threads are so stupid. So you guys think just because an album does not have vocals in English or uses music from the native country, I won't understand it? Americans are almost always the ones taking influence from "world" music, just look at the Talking Heads. These threads are retarded and if there's anything I don't understand, it's the point of them.
>>65443414
I love Violeta Parra and Pablo Milanés, as well as Silvio.
>>65443489
and of Buena Vsita?
Nevermind the Bollocks. It's almost cringeworthy to see Americans crapping on the Sex Pistols without understanding just how much of a cultural sensation they were here.
Anything by The Fall
>>65443550
Doesn't change the fact that the music is still shit.
>>65443519
I've only heard stuff like Afro Cuban All-Stars and Cuarteto Patria from the guys that were directly in Buena Vista
>>65443373
It's shit
>>65443448
you're autistic
>>65443609
Elaborate
>>65443550
They were a boy-band and nothing more.
>>65443572
This is more appropriate for the thread, I'm American but I fucking love The Fall, even with the most basic understanding of what life in the UK is all about I can appreciate the hell out of them, I really love their recent stuff where Mark is just smashed out of his mind
>>65443609
Yes, and shit of the good one
>>65443222
we don't care about french music that sounds like pepe le pew sexually harassing you.
>>65443255
meme album, plenty of americans like it
>>65443266
everyone knows the knife, silent shout is pleb level
>>65443633
It's just not good. Neutral, but neutral for me is shit.
>>65443650
Maybe not shit, but not good either.
>>65443687
obviously is not good because is god...
god-like
>>65443338
love that album
>>65443373
I loved bocanada, should I check out Soda Stereo or should I keep going through Cerati's solo work? Soda Stream sounds like pretty good New Wave: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVm4_ZFvysg
>>65443687
hey god for what are those random letters in your name
>>65443550
john lydon, british cultural ambassador. he's actually perfect when you think about it. a loud, drunk, stupid and obnoxious english cunt who ripped off the style of another culture, appropriated it as his own and is celebrated as "yet another english innovation".
please, they were a bunch of chavs that other chavs loved because of how chav they were.
>>65443222
I'm American. I'm also Russian Jewish by heritage, I'm just about fluent in French, I'm well-read, and I've read biographies on Gainsbourg. I'm also girl-crazy, ugly but charismatic, shy, and well-dressed. I'm pretty fucking sure I get it.
>>65443804
Well, yes, go with the early soda if you want some rock with new wave and post punk influences
nevertheless the solo work has also his high points
>>65443550
Seriously, they revolutionised music. What did Nirvana do except create a million awful manufactured bands with fake angst songs and flannelwear?
Most krautrock albums.
>>65443222
more like, they'll never understand how garbage it actually is
>>65443222
Is that a girl or a boy?
basically all of reggaeton
>>65443448
you maybe be patrician, but most of people don't
>>65443222
>old man has sex with a teenage girl
Wow. Freaking wow, man. Such deep, thought-provoking music.
this, you can't deny it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5UTk7xK7uE
the colombian music of the XX century, kind of
>>65444085
yep, you didn't get it
>>65443977
That's true. I got Proxima Estacion Esperanza but i don't get Clandestino.
>>65443927
>revolutionised music
give me a fucking break, no they didn't. the only thing they did was wake everyone up to how bad music was becoming and how everyone needed to support the clash so shit like that wouldn't continue.
any techno
also this
>>65444085
A brilliant, inspired work of genius. Mamma mia! A+
>>65443655
>silent shout is pleb level
not really. I wish I could make stuff like that
French music kind of awakens you to what a silly, antiquated culture they are who still thinks it's the 1700s.
>>65444216
same but that doesn't mean that it's not well known or appreciated by almost anyone that pays attention to music. it was number 1 on p4k's 2006 best album list
Even though they're American, I've always felt like they're more popular in Latin America than at home.
Same for Gogol Bordello.
>>65444164
electronic music in its entirety desu
>>65444235
>till thinks it's the 1700s.
in what sense
>>65444309
wew dunno man, love that detroit house scene
>>65444235
That's ok, our language is slowly disappearing anyway. already half the vocabulary in contemporary French consists of English loanwords. in 40 years, French will merely be an English dialect.
>>65444235
t. stupid amerifat who watched too much hollywood trash
>>65444423

>>65444383
Don't you mean half your vocabulary will consist of Moorish loanwords in 40 years? :^)
>>65444383
>French language disappears
>the national language of France becomes "Norman English" or something
>Académie Française still pushes for it to be written based on Old French orthography
>>65443222
It was a concept album based on an American book...
dis
>>65444526
1. nabokov wrote lolita in france
2. it's not entirely based on the book
>>65444383
Yes in fact I knew a French guy who said people prefer English terminology because it's simpler and easier to pronounce, all despite the best efforts of a few stubborn old cusses in the Académie Française whom nobody pays any attention to.
>>65443264
this is token world music for people who listen to /mu/core
>>65443222
>>65444554
le baguette
>>65444590
He wrote Lolita in USA based on experiences he had there, it says right on wikipedia
On a more popular note, I understand how The smiths feelings of loneliness resonate worldwide, but when he sings shit about crapholes in Manchester, sometimes even individuals fucking streets. That always makes me laugh.
In terms of huge groups. The Jam. They just basically sang shit about being English, so worldwide never really got big. Eton Rifles is a classic song though..
>>65444235
More like Belle Époque desu
VALLENATO ALBUMS
>I can understand chords progression better than you!
wonder if Americans knows Bombino, saw him live, pretty funny
Am I on /int/?
>>65444727
same thing for 999. Actualy, most 80's british bands were affected in some way
>>65443222
I love this album but I'm not even Brazilian
>>65444526
-.-
>>65444309
yeah, you never hear about EDM from any plebs in the states....
>sed its Shiregreen m8
>vire Illsborough plees
But to be fair anyone outside of South Yorkshire won't ever get it so
>>65443222
the resemblance is uncanny
>>65443222
I prefer L'Homme à tête de choux. Gainsbourg made some shit but this 2 albums are gold
