If Joanna Newsom is not the best songwriter of her generation, who do you nominate instead?
>>66419816
>implying there even is one
You're an idiot probably why you think she is the best songwriter of her generation.
>>66419816
Why do you think music is objective?
Literally anyone.
Seriously pick one and they'll almost certainly be better than Jewanna Newsom
Dean Blunt
Panda Bear
Kanye West
MF DOOM
Taylor Swift
Kendrick Lamar
basically anyone
Holter, J.
>>66420109
This desu
>>66419816
There can't really be a "best songwriter". Different writers are good at different things
>>66419830
>>66419854
>>66419878
>>66419915
>>66419957
>>66420109
>>66420135
>>66420160
>>66420178
>implying any of those come remotely close to Joanna, especially lyrically
uhm no
her butt resonates more within me than her lyrics if you know what i mean
I love Joanna but stop being a faggot OP. That's such an absurd title to give to anyone.
>>66419816
She's certainly my favourite.
Will Toledo
>>66419816
It's obviously not all objective, but I think lyrically she can go toe to toe with greats of all time, and her music is just phenomenal in my opinion. What I will say is that no one else can write music in the way that she does, you know a Joanna Newsom song instantly.
>>66419816
Me.
>>66419816
Becca Stevens is
I'll have to agree with OP on this one.
I'm a big fan of her body of work, and honestly I don't think TayTay can compete.
0PN
>>66422223
Certainly not in the ass department...
(I'm sorry Joanna, your music's wonderful)
>>66422223
goddamn what kind of black magic her slimy boyfriend did to deserve all this
>>66422281
he's a goofy jew with a lot of money, an american woman's dream
>>66422348
she could get better people with more money with an ass like that
and it's not like she even needs the money that badly anyway.
>>66422014
i didnt even put an artist down you idiot
She is the best though.
>>66422135
100% agree. (not the same guy btw)
>>66422376
be honest, could anyone compete with this?
>>66419816
Either Taylor Swift (on the rare occasion she actually tries) or Imogen Heap
>>66422223
HHHHNNNNGNNGNGNNGGGGGHHHH
M-MUH DICK
>>66419816
She's probably the more talented musician and arranger than Sufjan Stevens and Andrew Bird, but sometimes Newsom's releases are bloated to the point of overkill
>>66422223
do you think she hides a vibrator while she's playing piano
wow joanna ur so naughty
guess the jew cant really heat your oven huh
i don't understand why anyone finds her singing good. she purposefully tries to sing like a 9 year old child.... it's so unbelievably awful
>>66422615
She only sounds that way in her early works (Walnut Whales, Milk-Eyed Mender). HOOM and Divers are fine.
Easy. That honor belongs to Bill Callahan.
>>66419816
Grimes is so much better than Joanna.
>>66422885
>listen to All Your Women Things and Does Not Suffice as a response to it
prepare for suicide
>>66422885
From a subjective standpoint I probably prefer Bill, but as far as Joanna's control of language goes he doesn't even come close.
They're both amazing tho.
>>66420109
who is this old lady
>>66422348
She's jewish as well
>>66422885
They could've become the greatest songwriter couple to ever live
>>66419816
Nope. Songwriters of this generation are shite. And she's closer to the bottom than the top for vocalist of her generation.
>>66422554
she gets into the music so much that she doesn't need it
Hips
>>66420135
AHHH she looks so cozy
>>66422545
Eh, I think Sufjan is a better musician and composer than Joanna. Joanna at her best is a better lyricist but Sufjan is more consistent.
>>66419816
this handsome lad
>>66422081
this
Andrew Bird
I need more Joanna pics.
>>66420109
Taylor Swift is Mandy Moore-level bad
why do people like her?
>>66425406
I would love to fill her long ears with bees
Joanna Mangum
>>66419816
If you would call Mark Kozelek the same generation then he's the obvious choice.
If not, she's the best, followed by Robin Pecknold, Sufjan Stevens, Dave Longstreth and thats about it, everyone else is shit
If there were a version of Ys with just the harp playing and absolutely nothing else I would listen to it.
>>66423800
nah
idk, he writes really simple stuff but honestly my favorite is this sexy faggot
Nobody

Joanna is autistic confirmed
I always thought Fiona apple had similar talent.
>>66425597
I would cleft her right down through her center
>>66426141
Even if she was autistic, what's the fucking deal?
>>66426141
more like cute confirmed
>>66426093
>simple stuff
Nah. Her music is very layered. The simplicity is just an illusion. On some Art Angels tracks (like Kill V. Maim) she used even over 50 drum tracks.
>>66426170
Not a big deal. I love her music
>>66426185
Joanna is cute! Cute!
>>66426208
lol nah man i was referring to Christopher Owens not Grimes, i was just saying I generally prefer joanna to grimes. i agree though the production on Art Angels in general is fucking nuts, the drums and low end synths on Flesh w/o Blood are like some of the best I've ever heard
>>66426260
My bad, I misread your post.
>>66420160
This
>>66426152
I'd bind her buttons with salt
>>66426141
That version of En Gallop with the flute sounds incredible
>>66426375
check out these goose eggs
>>66426141
one of us
>>66426452
I agree. I've been searching for that live for quite a while
>>66420160
i like Julia Holter but lol no
>>66422183
yoooooooo who the fuck on /mu/ listens to becca stevens, that's crazy. i fucking love her on taylor eigsti's last record

Underrated
How can one be so perfect?
Avey Tare
Sufjan Stevens
Panda Bear
Kevin Parker
Jesse Lacey
Kanye West too but you guys will dismiss him as a meme
I am. Actually, this generation of music is so shit it doesn't deserve to be ranked.
>>66428189
Agreed, RIP music 1910-2010
>>66428239
Music lasted a much smaller range, 1965-2000

I thought music died in 2006?
>this whole thread
guys we are cancer
Joanna is pretty great but I'd say if it really came down to it I'd probably pick Tom Waits to be bettter
>>66428503

Phil Elverum.
Josephine Foster. Basically the real version of Joanna Newsom. I highly recommend her album A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing, but really all her stuff is good.
I got a Big Bird on the fishing line
With a bit of a shout, a bit of a shout
A bit of an angry snout
He's my favorite hooker of the whole bunch
And I know about his only bride
And how the Russians die on the ice
I got my rape hat on
Honey, but I always could accessorise
>>66420160
this. loud city song is brilliant.
joanna is sexy af
>>66431841
Meh, she's not my type. Too American for me. You can be American without seeming American.
>>66431841
"no"
>>66422223
>>66425191
Agreed
I have a hard time saying she's the absolute greatest (as much as I love her), but she's certainly up there.
What >>66422545 and >>66425159
said resonates with me a little bit, but I'd be hard pressed to say Sufan trumps Newsom's lyricism & phonaesthetic awareness on consistency alone.
>>66424771
Agreed.
She just seems so unbearably American.
>>66427956
I don't know who that is but that picture looks very mid-2000's.
>>66430698
I never understood why /mu/ never fell in love with Josephine Foster. She seems right up the board's alley.
>>66430698
>Josephine Foster. Basically the real version of Joanna Newsom
so is joanna newsom fake?
is her butt made out of nanomachines?
aaron ellis
this folk punk god is truly GOAT songwriter
>>66437053
She's a lizard creature.
>>66436971
>I never understood why /mu/ never fell in love with Josephine Foster
Look at her
Then look at Joanna
You will get it soon
>>66436773
I love hearing american culture through music
>>66437158
I get that she's not as traditionally attractive as Newsom, but I would think she would have the sleep deprived vibe that /mu/ likes in people like Grouper.
Isaac Brock is my favorite lyricist and Modest Mouse is my favorite band... but Joanna Newsom is a creative genius in every sense of the term, and I think she really deserves the praise she gets.
>>66437317
totally forgot that I was going to follow that first statement up with "but Joanna Newsom knocks Brock out of the park, and everyone else that I've heard"
>>66433397
I'd agree with this. I was agreeing with the other anon that some of Joanna's stuff can be bloated and I've never felt that way with Sufjan so I think he's more consistent, but I do think she is a better lyricist. She's certainly the better poet.
>>66437826
Is that like 2002?
