Post your favorite fugues, or quality under-appreciated fugues.
The great fugues of Bach go without saying, but I'll say a few anyway.

Though Mozart wasn't known for fugues, he wrote a few himself.

There's Beethoven's Große Fuge.

The 20th-century composer Shostakovich wrote a series of 24 preludes and fugues. I find these 20th-century fugues very interesting.

I'm less likely to check out an album unless the band name, album name or album art is kinda cool.
Actually listen to music.

i gather that it's good
but his contributions to compton were pretty fucking weak so i'm kinda skeptical
In the air is literally the 12 most beautiful minutes in music, no, the most beautiful sound ever created. I can't believe how something can be so powerful, beautiful and moving while it's just textures and piano notes.
Post your favorite sounds in music.
Haven't heard that album in a long time but I listen to Radio Amor regularly, it's also very good.
here's a fact
listening to aphex's rhubarb loop song is worth more than listening the whole tim hecker discog

So /mu/, which is it?
Is music art or entertainment?
Sure, it's a bit of both, but get off the fence, how do you view it?
Is art not entertaining?
>>61913170
I've seen a lot of bored people in art museums
>>61913120
Define "art."
Define "entertainment."
Explain why they can't be correlated.
What got you to make the switch from the top 40 shit to true patrician tunes? Were you never a fan of music on the radio?
I'm gonna tell a story, so grab a seat and listen to this while you read
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EC49zlGUPE
My mom always listened to songs from the 60's-80's, although it was only the songs they'd play on the radio, so even as a young kid I knew who the likes of Bowie, Led Zepplin, The Beatles, etc. I only really listened to the greatest hits of most of those artists, except for The Beatles. I LOVED them as a kid. I had posters of them, I had purchased all of their albums on CD, there was this one guy at a flea market once selling the Beatles' discography on vinyl and I almost got it despite not having a working record player. I had listened to 98% of all Beatles songs by middle school, only excluding the super rare ones that were B-sides on singles albums. Eventually I kind of grew out of the Beatles, though I still think their music is great. I appreciate them as one of the few bands normies and patricians can both enjoy on some level.
Early middle school, I got big into Beck. Guero was the first album I heard, and I just branched out from there. Still not big on some of his early folk albums, I think he's much better in Pop Rock or whatever genre he is. I liked how he was able to change his style almost completely with each album, with his distinct voice being the glue that kept all his music sounding like his own. Midnite Vultures is my favorite album from him.

During middle school, I had an English teacher who listened to Gorillaz. She would play songs like Dirty Harry, Rhinestone Eyes, etc. She got me into Gorillaz big time, starting me out with Demon Days (obviously) and recommending I go backwards before I go into Plastic Beach. I always thought it was funny how my teacher would keep playing the songs every morning in class, even though I was the only one who liked it. A lot of people hated her for her nasally, high-pitched voice. D-Sides is currently my favorite Gorillaz album.
Sometime during or after this, I slowly started craving more and more abrasive or weird music. I found that I really liked glitchy music. 1000BPM by Beck was the song that started this I think, but some earlier gorillaz songs helped too. Because of this need for glitchy and abrasive songs, I had a dubstep phase. Thank god that's over. I don't hate the genre, but I do hate the uninspired hacks who would make dubstep without trying to put their own spin on it. It all sounded the same. K I N D A L I K E S H O E G A Z E. Jesus Christ most dubstep artists repeat the first two minutes of their song, sometimes even twice. I think that I got out of dubstep when the drops starting being just the build up to the drop with boosted drums and a shitty synth layed over.
I also got into rap but who cares amiright

These days, I'm into artists like Polysics, Melt-Banana, (kind of a weeb) Death Grips, ATOLS, LCD Soundsystem. I didn't type this out to brag or anything, just to tell my story of how I stopped listening to the top 40.
I still listen to Beck and Gorillaz pretty often. Me and my best friend love Gorillaz, although his taste is admittedly more normie-tier.
I don't even think my taste is all that top-tier, but hey. At least it's better than average, I like to think. I'm not even at the end of my journey, musically. Maybe someone can use the artists I mentioned to get a friend into more experimental music. I don't know. What I do know is that I'm done pretyping and I'm ready to get fucking eaten alive by /mu/.

It's like panning for gold - there's a lot of shit to sift through, but their almost all of their hits are amazingly good compositions.
Find a flaw, ANY flaw.
