Anyone who gives a f about the artist instead of the art is a moron.
The author is dead, you dipshits.

In the english language, author stands for everything, not just a person who writes books.
>>66493151
But we like Claire, she's groovy.
>>66493151
without the artist, the art wouldn't exist
the artist's ideas and intentions brought it into being, they should be considered as much attention as the work itself
>>66495767
I am firmly right-wing on social and economic issues and I like Kanye.
You come off as someone with incredibly unrefined political views. I suggest taking a break from /pol/ and exploring other right-wing resources on the internet. /pol/ is fun and all, but you should not build your entire ideology off of it.
Grimes is the best from that chart.
>>66493151
Bowie>Kanye>>>>>Claire>Thom
>>66497942
awful
>>66495767
I'm strongly right-wing economically and apathetic but conservative-leaning socially and I think Kanye is great

>>66498009

>>66498000
yeah I too can lie on the internet
>>66493151
I agree.
>>66493171
I think you don't understand what OP said
>>66495541
Idiot
>>66498009
Bowie>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Thom>>>>Kanye>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Grimey
That's not really what death of the author means. It doesn't mean they are irrelevant, only that they are not the sole authority on their art. Also separating the art from the artist is a nonsense idea as they are always linked.
Obviously /mu/ and music in general is far too celebrity obsessed but you are wasting your time trying to change it.
>>66493151
its kind of hard to not focus on Kanye the person when all of his work is centered around himself
I agree that we should separate their music from the musician but that shouldn't mean we can't enjoy them for who they are
>>66498106
this
OP just skimmed the wikipedia article or something and assumed he knew what it meant
the point is to view the music separate from the artist
for example; The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die
people are turning off their music because they connect the music with the opinions of the artist even though they are separate things
>>66495816
>>66498070
retards
>>66498072
only correct choice, more arrows between kanye and grimes and less between bowie and thom tho
>>66498072
Thom = Kaye > Bowie > Grimes
I like them all
>>66496462
the big bang (possibly iniciated by god himself) allowed mankind to happen, without this the artist wouldn't exist
>>66498072

Why Grimes always last? Because she's a female?
She's so much better than these half assed "artists".
Could Kanye, Bowie and Yorke even compare with Grimes?
Grimes:
>singer
>songwriter
>producer
>sound engineer
>lyricist
>live performer
>visual artist
>music video director
>dancer
>model
>>66500192
>>66500223
"meme"
>>66500223
Kanye is also all of these lol
>>66500254
She trancended the meme status. /mu/ underrates her (literally) so much.
>>66500279
Good joke. What exactly is his work from this list? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_of_Pablo#Track_listing
>>66500311
all of it. because he paid and hired them
grimes is a broke ass bitch who can't hire anyone to fix her shit albums. only reason she gloats muh independence
TLOP sold more records then all of grimes albums combined
#facts
>>66500441
>all of it. because he paid and hired them
Lying yourself like that. Because he's such a talentless hack, Kanye needs a whole army of writers and producers. He's not even good at rapping. Even Eminem and Snoop Dogg are better than him.
>grimes is a broke ass bitch who can't hire anyone to fix her shit albums. only reason she gloats muh independence
No. Because she's a complete artist that wants complete control over her work. Her albums are great, by the way.
>TLOP sold more records then all of grimes albums combined
So what? Bieber sold even more than Kanye. Does that make him great?
>>66498072
objectively right opinion coming through
Thom > Bowie > Kanye >>>>>>>>> Grimes
>>66500921
>Grimes last
When this hating Grimes meme will end?

you fell for a meme
>>66500973
Liking Grimes is a meme.

>Lying yourself like that. Because he's such a talentless hack, Kanye needs a whole army of writers and producers. He's not even good at rapping. Even Eminem and Snoop Dogg are better than him.
Obviously you're a neet because if you worked this thing called a job you would know the owner hires other people to do things for him so everything can be efficient
NEET
>no. Because she's a complete artist that wants complete control over her work. Her albums are great, by the way.
AKA broke ass bitch :)
>So what? Bieber sold even more than Kanye. Does that make him great?
Yep grimes herself likes bieber :)
>>66500976
>>66500999
Liking Grimes is not a meme. Her music is truly great and likeable.
>>66501025
>it's a money-worshipping artless amerimutt post
PS: neither kanye nor grimes are of any value whatsoever
>>66501049
>>66500973
not that guy but liking grimes ≠ calling her better than any of those other three
>>66501049
Her music is generic and she's trying to cover it up with her "artistic" "avant-garde" bullshit.
>>66500570
>>66501025
jesus christ you people are the reason half of /mu/ hates these artists fucking leave
>>66501083
>>66501119
poorfags pls go we are having a conversation here
kanye and grimes shit on ur fav artist
#facts
>>66501119
oh and >>66500441 you too
>>66501137
>kanye and grimes shit on ur fav artist
alright i'm triggered
>>66501137
my favourite artists have sold more than both though so you're even wrong according to your own failed argument
>>66501025
>neet calling other anons neets
Really, dumbass?
>if you worked this thing called a job you would know the owner hires other people
It's not about that he hired people to work for him, it's about WHY he did that. Making music is his job. Don't pretend you didn't understand what I meant in my previous post.
>AKA broke ass bitch :)
She has more money that you'll ever have in your pathetic life.
>Yep grimes herself likes bieber :)
And you call that an argument? It doesn't matter that she likes him.
Related to:
>TLOP sold more records then all of grimes albums combined
What have to do sales with the quality of an artist? 50 Cent sold more than Joy Division, does that mean that he's better than JD?
>>66501188
>my fav artist that I won't mention because I knw im full of shit
ftfy
>>66501202
joy division is shit stop posting

>Her music is generic and she's trying to cover it up with her "artistic" "avant-garde" bullshit.
Objectively false. If it's generic, why nobody else did her kind of music? Where are the female artists with her skills set >>66500223 ?
>>66501202
Honestly I think Grimes is awful, but you seem way more intelligent than that other anon.
>>66500223
>intelligent
>nihilistic
>wicked sense of humor
>>66501230
laurie anderson did grimes shit 20x better years ago
also has her own movie and is respected by the art community
>>66501221
it's Haydn, and recording of works of his sold much more than any of those two failures ever will
>>66501265
>dead white man did this when racism was alive
doesn't count
>>66501239
>Honestly I think Grimes is awful
(You)
>>66493151
What do they have in common, besides being musicians? Why did you pick them OP? Are they just your favorites or something?
>>66501312
>Grimes isn't awful
(You)
>>66501305
>>66494206
fuck you anon, I was going to write that
>>66501257
Grimes is also respected by the art community.
>20x better years ago
You must be joking. That avantgarde shit doesn't hold a candle to Grimes diverse and deep music. Name other great Laurie Anderson songs besides O Superman. Let's see what you got.
PS: Laurie's singing is frankly just speaking...
>>66501399
i literally came here to post this, upvoted
>>66501454
o superman is overrated
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hedIexysvK4 best on the album imo
anyway im heading off to meet some friends for dinner
have a great day!
