Monkey Fracas posted:would legitimately be delighted to hear this on the radio Strong bassline, chord progression open enough to allow for your own funky interpretation of the message, no lovely heart lyrics. I love it! (in comparison to Mumford & Sons which is basically the hitler's child porn collection of the music world)

Anything less is essentially communism.

i don't like mumford and sons but i do like bands that sound a bit like them but actually have heart and song variation eg fleet foxes, lord huron, mac demarco, wilderness of manitoba etc

FogHelmut posted:i dont hate mumford & sons so much as i hate the capitalist system that pushed through other hipster-kitsch folksy bands with similar tones and styles it's just the hipster reverence for the pretentious faux-authenticity of working class nostalgia that's finally trickled into the mainstream the past few years also this is relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as4O2ZorKP8 the portlandia skit about how it's the 1890s again is almost relevant but like every portlandia skit they squander a decent premise with unfunny jokes and run it into the ground

Anything less is essentially communism. I'm not saying they're bad because they're overplayed, I'm saying it makes hearing them more galling than if I just heard the band in a vacuum or something I was not very clear, sorry.

The best part about Mumford & Sons is that you can put their songs through a Markov chain generator and the output is indistinguishable from actual Mumford lyrics.

You have to open your heart in order to like something, which makes you vulnerable, which means you're a soft, weak pansy worthy of eternal and merciless torment. In other words: whatis posted:anyone who likes anything is a dumb rear end in a top hat Also, lol at anyone creating a thread trying to convince GBS that awful things are great, or that awesome things are lovely (i.e. 99.9% of threads).

BigBoss posted:*stomps feet* I mean mumford & sons are bland and repetative but it's not like they sound awful when they're in the background. Most top 40 stuff is pretty bland and unimaginative but it's top 40 because it's catchy and easy like the first time you hear it.

Weren't they embarrassed or something when they followed up after Nick Cave at Glastonbury 2013. I think they are aware they are bad, It shows when they do things with real musicians (see that Inside Llewyn Davis documentary)

Live they are excellent.
