I'm not huge on the genre, but saying such a broad genre sucks is dumb. Try Eno or Gas.
>The Olivia Tremor Control suck

>Phillip Glass is a hack
Glassworks is alright. I don't think he deserves all the acclaim he's gotten, but he's pretty good.

Glad you like their live album a lot, but they're one of my favorite bands. Memers are ruining them much more than /mu/ is, honestly.
>There are no good model jazz albums
"no"
and the worst offense
>Kool Keith > MF DOOM
NO. I cannot fathom how someone would think this. Kool Keith has two good albums, and MF has made two bad albums. They're not even on the same level, though I do respect Keith.
and
>Since I Left You is terrible
Literally one of my favorite albums
>There are no enjoyable microtonal albums
I haven't enjoyed any electronic microtonal albums, but there's plenty of traditional music written in different methods of theory like some Indian music which uses microtonal notes. You should check that out.

I can understand not liking it, actually. I can get how it would be annoying.
Personally, I just think it's the most detailed album ever. The fact that I've listened to it a hundred times and every time I listen to it again I hear something I didn't catch last time blows my mind. I've never ever gotten tired of it. The closest thing to a perfect album I can imagine.

Your claim, PROVE yourself right.
hip-hop cannot even be considered music and even in its own genre, is incredibly mediocre i.e. real stand outs are few and far between. the best hip hop album is like a 6/10 at best when compared with other music like rock, jazz, blues etc
If you have a single favorite album, or even a favorite genre, then that gives me the impression that you are judging all music that you listen to with a single set of preferences, and thus have extremely narrow taste.
If you can't change your preferences in order to appreciate different genres of music, you'll always be a pleb.

Listen to Freak Out, Hot Rats, and Apostrophe.
If you like Freak Out the most, listen to his early mothers stuff (everything 200 motels and before) ((this is his best era by far))
If you like Hot Rats the most, try out the later Mothers material, his live stuff, and try the above as well
If you like Apostrophe the most try out his comedy era (my least favorite) like Sheik Yerbouti, Joes Garage, and You Are What You Is.
Honestly, Zappa has had good material from 66 til 82 and like 20 worthwhile releases. Some trip from /daily/ has listened to them all, try to reach out to him.
>>63845925
Half of Scaruffi's rating are 5 or 6/10 idk how that translates to proof for the best musician of all time
>>63845927

Literally all of the classic outlaw country musicians have more interesting catalogs than Johnny Cash and the only reason he's revered or the safe classic country music to like is the prison albums + Rick Rubin making him hip to like at the end of his life. American Recordings was good because of Rubin, not Cash.

Nope. Dude's got charisma, but his musicology is quite poor and he doesn't even make up for that by describing music well. Also, his ability to interpret lyrics or any subtext really is hilariously bad.

But unlike Dylan or Zappa he wasn't writing anything on them. He was one of the first recording artists to use albums as artistic statements though, that's true.
All women care about your social statues as a musician more than anything else. She doesn’t care at all about how good you are at writing/composing songs.
Being a technically skilled musician might get you laid if you are lucky, but she will get bored and think you are a loser if you aren’t a popular musician

Women aren’t sexually attracted to money. But they will put out for money. But they will cheat on their provider easily if they aren’t attracted to him.

>>63846539
>>63846549
it changed the album format entirely and the idea of what a musical album is. Every album before Blonde on Blonde or Freak Out was "a collection of songs under 45 minutes." The double album opened to flood gates for an album to expand beyond that.
But even beyond that, by creating a concept around the album Freak Out, he also changed the idea for what an album should or has to be. An album can tell a story, have a theme, or be made with the album in mind and not just the individual tracks. Albums would no longer have to be "45s but bigger." This philosophy directly influenced sgt. Pepper's and so on. If you want a more tangible example of this, check out the album he made directly after that.
If you care what any reviewer says, especially over your own opinion you should kill yourself.
>>63846610
A women might cheat on her financial provider for a guy who is socially popular. And get off on the fact that he is popular.

>>63846625
Sinatra and Guthrie both made concept albums before him.
>>63846625
Highway 61 Revisited was actually the first album that Dylan at least got serious about the album as a concept. He supposedly listened to every possible tracklisting before putting out the final version.
But I do agree with you overall about Freak Out and Blonde on Blonde being more important to albums.
Viper fucking sucks ass
>>63846642
Sometimes women will get off on money. But it’s not the most strong sexual fetish for them. Most women lose respect for men who give them money or spend money on them. They start to see him as a cuckold or a tool

>>63846690

Pet Sounds came out before Freak Out and can be dubbed a "concept album". Also Face to Face was released right after Freak Out and is a concept album.

>>63846625
>An album can tell a story, have a theme, or be made with the album in mind and not just the individual tracks
Dude, just shut up.
The second summer of love starting in '88 was the most important era in modern European music culture as it took the American based house and techno and fused it with European attitudes, prowess and compositional excellence to forefront the run of the music that followed on through the rave era, the 90s progression of techno, house, and of course breakbeat hardcore, jungle and all the genres and fusions that followed
Dance music of the 1990s largely rejected the simple, jovial, hedonistic approach to body movement that had ruled since James Brown invented funk music in the 1960s. Disco, techno and house had simply imported new technologies (both for rhythm and arrangements) into the paradigm of funk. The 1990s continued that process, one of the most important ideas to come out of Britain was jungle or drum & bass, a syncopated, polyrhythmic and frantic variant of house, a fusion of hip-hop and techno that relied on extremely fast drum-machines, epileptic breakbeats and huge bass lines.
Few genres of popular music underwent so many changes and reached such ambitious heights as jungle did. Within a few years, jungle musicians were already composing abstract and ambient pieces, integrating breakbeats with pop vocals, adopting jazz improvisation Thanks to ever more intricate beats and to free structures borrowed from jazz, jungle music rapidly became the foundation for a new kind of avantgarde music, pursued by the most austere of the genre's visionaries
It both cemented the death of and proved without doubt that outside of America, the dark ages of rock were dead and merely a passing fad and the progression of funk, soul and rhythm and blues, and via proxy, the music of Jamaica and the influence of hip hop on dance music and indeed hip hop itself showed that electronic music was the natural progression and the rock of the 60s and 70s was a waste of time and a step backwards in music progression.
>>63846690
I agree. People who say that decade was shit are either just people who only like straight-up rock or just look at the surface-level popular shit.
painting with was not poppy enough
In the Wee Small Hours is the ninth studio album by American vocalist Frank Sinatra. It was released in April 1955 on Capitol Records, produced by Voyle Gilmore with arrangements by Nelson Riddle. All the songs on the album deal with specific themes such as loneliness, introspection, lost love, failed relationships, depression and night-life; as a result, In the Wee Small Hours has been called one of the first concept albums.
>>63846746
This is probably the edgiest opinion yet
>>63846669
>He supposedly listened to every possible track listing before putting out the final version
shows that Dylan was a thorough and thoughtful songwriter, but I don't agree this made it a concept album
>>63846660
I would disagree Guthrie had the conceptualization in mind, and more or less just happened to write every song about how the depression sucked, because that was every song he wrote (love him tho). To an extent I would argue this about In the Wee Small Hours.
Even if these were concept albums before Freak Out, Zappa's album had the most impact in this format as "conceptual" and other artists like the Beatles took from him to make concept albums.
>>63846720
>Pet Sounds came out before Freak Out and can be dubbed a "concept album"

>>63846788
I suppose you're correct.
MY REAL ARGUMENT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SAY THIS WHOLE TIME BUT SUCK AT PHRASING: I still think Zappa was more influential in terms of what a "concept" for an album is and broke the bounds for what an album was supposed to be with Freak Out like no album before.
>>63846767
Not a Zappa hater. Just over the concept of them and sick of people about "muh albums".vI could go on but I'll save that for another derailment thread.

>>63846837
I think the proggy "muh albums" mentality is dumb occasionally, but I'm just arguing Zappa's amazing range of influence, which is hard to deny considering how many people have the "muh albums" mentality, yes? Not arguing that "you can only listen to whole albums" like some progdad or something.

Hip hop gets memed at for not being art and not being music because its mostly true.
Hip hop/rap has possibly the lowest barrier of entry in all of music next to the kazoo, which combined with its popularity makes it a breeding ground for trendy no-effort no-talent garbage to not only succeed, but dominate the genre and bleed into the rest of pop music. There are so many layers of "muh celebrity hip hop persona" to cover up so much objectively awful music that even /mu/ consistently falls for it. Pretty soon hip hop will be even cringier than metal and kpop combined.

Not everything has to be highbrow snotty bullshit.
Hip Hop is just fun. Hip hop will never be as cringy as Kpop or Metal because both of those were outsider things to begin with.
>>63847034
There is such a good thing as fun hip hop thats actually good, stop acting like they're mutually exclusive so you can defend stupid trendy garbage, its so old.
>all music is subjective and trying to argue even that BOTDF is worse than Wagner is a pointless endeavor
>"getting in to" an album isn't a thing. If you don't like it at first and just keep listening to it for days straight because a Japanese image board told you, you still won't actually appreciate it, the album is just giving yourself Stockholm syndrome
>irony in music other than forms of dramatic irony are complete bullshit and a sign that the writer is a talentless hack
>there is no music that requires intelligence to appreciate
>>63846966
Great opinions all around OP
I like kpop, a lot even
>>63847056
Alright mr. snotty booty.
what is "fun hip hop thats actually good" and you were the one acting like they're exclusive also that being said this site tends to disregard non high brow music.
>>63846799
hip-hop has to be the genre to do it I guess
Sleaford Mods is kind of political at times but maybe more cultural? Good critiques anyway.
>>63847071
Taste is subjective, music isn't compositionally speaking.

>Scaruffi's such a wonderful source that even wikipedia doesn't acknowledge him as policy.
That only further legitimizes him.
There are better genres than rock and all you faggots need to accept it
>>63847232
I don't listen to genres, I listen to music.

>>Unwound is okay but pretty overrated on this board

kek how have I never noticed this
But I have to disagree, those three are their best but not their only good ones imo
Mark Snow is the greatest instrumental composer working in the film industry; today or at any time before or from now.
>>63847284
listening to movie music
>>>/tv/
now faggot
>>63847134
A lot of the most beloved hip hop artists are pretty comedic or even silly. Some of the ones I like are Kanye, DOOM, El-P, Kool Keith, and Das Racist.
>this site tends to disregard non high brow music
No they just treat fun albums they like with respect, just like any other good album
>>63847323
someone hasn't listened to the amelie ost
>>63847323
Well technically he isn't in the film industry at all.
Check his "career":

>>63847366
Not really people constantly shit on Rocky or Thug or Future. Those are fun, but they're not talking about getting up like Kedrick.
Also Doom is trash he and Keith Kool are not what comes to mind when I think of fun hip hop
>>63847459
>doom
>fun hip hop
what happened to you as a child?

>>The Undertale OST was one of the best albums of 2015 by far
I have to agree, love playing Fallen Down (Reprise) on piano and flute. the game is also really good, it's the fanbase part that makes me cringe
>>Frank Zappa is the greatest musician ever. Not just in terms of influence and innovation, but he has more good albums than any artist ever
never been a fan of him
>>95% of all "indie" music is aesthetic garbage for crosely-donning teens including probably every band you thought of when I said the word
objectively correct
>>Ambient music is garbage
no
>>Phillip Glass is a hack
he's aight
>>Since I Left You is terrible
it's aight
>>GY!BE has never had a bad album. Every single one is at least 7/10
the definition of a 7/10 band my man
>>Scaruffi is right 70% of the time when it comes to any album pre-2000s
don't care for reviewers
>>Anthony Fantano is a good reviewer and deserves the acclaim he has
no
>>If you took every good Kanye song out of his whole discography you would have one album
he always have some fillers but that's not true
>>Reddit is ruining /mu/ (see fans of the above artist) but the term is used so falsely the issue can never be addressed properly
true
>>There are maybe 4 good popular post-rock bands ever
depends what's "popular" for u
>>There are no good model jazz albums
modal*. false.
>>Moondog is the best popular composer from the 20th century
depends what's "popular" for u
>>The Olivia Tremor Control suck

>>Most prog is ass
modern prog - yes; but there are tons of branches of prog so I can't agree
>>There are no enjoyable microtonal albums
Ivor Darreg - Detwelvulate! is fantastic
>>RYM is the best way by far to discover music
esoteric charts are the best
omitted the ones I didn't listen to/don't have a strong opinion on
I prefer /mu/ to Rym in terms of music discovering
>>63846602
all correct
>>63848042
If you been here long enough you'll porbably end up being spoofed by people who discover there music on rym
