BigFactory posted:The only good Pink Floyd record is the first one and even that isn’t great. lol, jesus christ. Here have some more takes as hot as the loving sun quote:Fleetwood Mac is a trash fire. Nobody even really likes this crap, they just think they remember liking it. Revisit those “classic” Fleetwood Mac albums for lessons in trash songwriting, hilariously bad singing and probably the worst production ever heard in a #1 album. quote:The band that committed every crime in the Rock & Roll Rule Book… quote:Listen up, Danfans. You’ve been wrong and you always will be wrong until the moment you admit that liking Steely Dan is the audio equivalent of enjoying the smell of your own farts. I more or less agree with all of these tho, lol. so feel free to savage me. Also, a long way back some said Jethro Tull - Aqualung. Cool, a song that can't ever make up it's mind which time signature, key, or even loving genre of music it's supposed to be in, with lyrics about a creepy homeless dude on a park bench jerking off to kids. Great poo poo man.

Jerking off real hard to some imagined innate superiority of technology-low guitar music is the most deeply concerning brain disease in white male Americans, right up there with obesity and butt cancer.

I think this opinion is hstrionic but at least it's genuine and not expressed in the form of internet cliches so I will respond to it politely by saying that when you're doing music moment to moment musicality does actually matter.

Good pick. His first album is great too but maybe less cohesive. More a loose collection of tracks. It's very much a call back to old school country though so it fits in that respect. Third album is also good but really takes a poo poo around the middle section. I have no idea WTF he was thinking with that cover of In Bloom.

I liked the Daft Punk record where they used all the live instruments. Random Access Memory I think? The one where Nathan East plays a lot of the bass and they have the Get Lucky song. That was an electronic album I feel I could come back to year after year and listen to.

I don't know if I heard that one, I have some of the older ones where they revolutionized the idea of "let's do in 52 bars what other similar musicians do in 6" but they were okay and the music video to around the world was on Beavis and Butthead

You kinda have to either listen to mixes, or mix yourself to get any real enjoyment out of it.

mycophobia posted:i want to disagree with Ram but im having trouble finding a reason. "Long Haired Lady" is the problem for me. An amazing piece of songwriting, and yet somehow nearly intolerable. BigFactory posted:The only good Pink Floyd record is the first one and even that isn’t great. Piper is my favorite Floyd record as well, so I get where you're coming from with this, but it's worth noting that 1) side B really doesn't hold a candle to side A and 2) Dark Side of the Moon really is as good as everyone says. Still, as for the rest of their catalog, I can take it or leave it. Here are some records that I like all the way through:
Also agree that the Deftones' White Pony is way better than one would have any right to expect.

Neurotic Roleplay posted:disintegration by the cure I wouldn’t say this is perfect but I like a lot the songs a lot. There’s so much depth. I used to listen to this really loud like Robert Smith recommended. The lyrics of The Same Deep Water as You really described my life for a while. That song followed up by Disintegration itself is such a great sequence.

treasureplane posted:"Long Haired Lady" is the problem for me. An amazing piece of songwriting, and yet somehow nearly intolerable. all of this pretty loving great, but I gotta have a hard pass on the Deftones. I'll just never be able to reconcile that loud rear end band with a singer who is somehow so boring as to put you to sleep. Which is weird because I typically love Shoegaze, but to me Deftones have always been much more in the sludge metal category, and I've never liked sludge tbh Julius CSAR fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Dec 17, 2018 |

quote:I have spent a lot of time pondering what makes this band any different from the rest of their late-90s nu-metal peers, and all I can think of is that they have a slightly different take on that stupid nu-metal thing where they go from rly loud 2 rly quiet and the singer whispers/mumbles a bunch of stuff. The other nu-metal bands are all like ‘dont mess with me im KRAZY and if u dont back off i might SNAP!!!!’ but DEFTONES are all like ‘here are a bunch cryptic words for u 2 ponder, look at what a tortured artistic genius i am.’ So yeah i guess they are “”thinking man’s nu-metal”” but idk they just kinda sound like POD to me, only without the catchy choruses.

Like, I enjoy listening to Led Zeppelin, but they are straight up music thieves and they're also exceedingly terrible people. Like, they're exceedingly bad people even when compared to other bands full of lovely people from the same era. Sorry I had to be the one to tell you. If you really want to listen to Led Zeppelin's music I would just go find some Howlin' Wolf.

I've listened to thousands of hours of all kinds of electronic music. I never play any of it any more. Say I'm gambling here, do I put money down on "guy is a huge country bumpkin" or "guy is one of those sad people who teaches bass guitar to nine year olds as a day job and knows a thing or two about music!". I'm also still lolling at your assertion that in 2000 you were excited for electronics as the future, some 20 years after the genre started becoming a major thing. Also there is an unspoken hatred for hip-hop in this that you are being sheepish about putting out there. For further lolling purposes though I must point it out.
