I can't believe that this post actually made me mad. Not even a Doors fan but I'm so sick of people shitting on the Doors.
>>
>>65574257
It's true though

They're so uninteresting they could only be named something as incredibly nondescript as "The Doors"

I get if you like it but I don't even understand what there is to like about them or what part of you that would offend

Don't do anything particularly offensive, but that's probably why they're so boring.

They're just there. Like mediocre furniture.

The Beatles sold a lot of records not because they were the greatest musicians but simply because their music was easy to sell to the masses: it had no difficult content, it had no technical innovations, it had no creative depth. They wrote a bunch of catchy 3-minute ditties and they were photogenic. If somebody had not invented "Beatlemania" in 1963, you would not have wasted five minutes of your time reading these pages about such a trivial band.

Almost dozed off around 30 seconds in. Remove the vocals and you could rebrand it as ambient

Try actually listening to a Foo Fighters album before you write them off.

>>65574996
the general what?
and anyway even if you are not a fan these guys are not boring in the way op is talking about. they were each doing their own thing that no one else was doing. they will both be remembered.

we're looking for stuff like the fray and cage the elephant

I get where where Scaruffi is coming from though, he's merely approaching pop music from an incredibly stodgy and bullheaded "modernist" viewpoint, where every piece of work must be pushing or breaking the boundaries of what mankind had known as music, or else it's crap. Which is such a horribly stupid and joyless way of thinking of things, especially art.

I hope I never end up thinking about music like how Scaruffi thinks about music.

No technical innovations
>Double tracked vocals
>First use of sampling (mellotron)
>First to put vocals through a flanger
>First to record and play music backwards in a song.
>First real rock band to ever exist (chuck berry, and all the rest count as solo artists imo)
>First rock band to use orchestra in their music
>First band to leave hidden backwards messages in music
>Only band to create a hoax that their bassist died

That's the shittiest bait I've ever seen desu

Has cage the elephant even put out a decent song since ain't no rest for the wicked or are they a modern day one hit wonder

it triggered you pretty bad so it's not that shitty

>>65575345
The writing isn't good, the instrumentation isn't good, the singing isn't good, the music has no kind of purpose, it drags on for way longer than it should and still accomplishes nothing and it's incredibly boring

So tell me what "good" means to you
>>
>>65575482
there were a few decent tracks on their s/t aside from ain't no rest for the wicked but idk about any of their stuff afterwards

they aren't interesting either though

>>65575537
So you're telling me some nigger in the 50's with a guitar missing 3 strings was doing double tracked vocals. Or that some scientists in a lab somewhere did it on accident and didn't even put it into a song, meaning the Beatles didn't invent it?
>>
>>65575546
For me to enjoy music it actually has to do something well on some level

If it's that hard for you to make an argument maybe you're the wrong one

A few, mostly not. It's either dumb obnoxious masculine masturbatory material with a couple good hooks or bits of instrumentation or the closest thing to it for people that want to be interesting and contemplative but only in the laziest and most inoffensive way possible. Because feelings are gay, and being gay is for faggots.

Basically the 70s equivalent of rap music.

I like Pink Floyd and maybe Led Zeppelin if they didn't act so grand all the time without ever actually doing anything interesting.

I love Mission Hill so fucking much. The style and color palette and the writing, but more so because Andy's storyline matched up eerily close to my own life when I first saw it (I'M AN ARTIST! FUCK CORPORATE LIFE! I'M GOING TO BE DRUNK AND SHITTY! Oh wait.. my friends are being successful in life and I'm just abusing the title of "artist" to cover up my laziness and awful attitude)

They first used sampling in 1965, who the fuck else was around let alone sampling at that time.

Ride.
Swans.

The Doors, Nirvana, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon, Cage the Elephant, Blur, Radiohead.... Like..... Why is this board so shitty? Why do people go out of their way to confuse and upset people by just making up bs about how they think your favorite band sucks? If every person in this board got blown up I'd orgasm.

Their first backwards recording. 1966. I'm Only Sleeping, Within You Without You.

>>65575479
Backwards music is literally the only thing they were remotely on the cutting edge of. They way they used all the elements you listed is what made them innovative, primarily how that made so digestible and just so damn pleasant to hear all that it those have become mainstream standards.

>>65576101
holy shit yes
they've always stuck in my mind as an exceptionally bland and generic band from the moment i heard and saw them

either way yellowcard is still just aggressively bland
