Oh wow definitely can’t wait to listen to what someone who hates a great band thinks is a perfect album But actually, to accurately assess their lack of credibility

hating a band isnt the problem. sometimes you just dont like something. thats perfectly fine. the issue is that this thread is about discussing perfect albums, or near-perfect albums, agreeing or disagreeing on the finer points of what makes a particular album perfect or not perfect ("if it wasnt for this bit of filler..." "this track isnt quite as good as the others..."), which to me is really fascinating as a topic of discussion, and really isnt aided by someone just making GBS threads all over the artist or group who made it as a whole. i loving hate Incubus and would never ever willingly listen to their music but thats not really a constructive reply to that person who said an Incubus album is perfect, in this thread. it would be something for another Incubus fan to comment on.

Wildflower, American Idiot, Who Killed Amanda Palmer, Soviet Kitsch, Back in Black, Badlands, Chameleon, Evil Friends, Thriller, and a shitload more. I'll put up 'At Carnegie Hall' by the Dave Brubeck Quartet to contest Kind of Blue as the best Jazz album ever. Kind of Blue gets over-credited with everything Miles Davis did, and he did many, many things after, a lot of which had more influence on pop music and hip hop (Doo-Bop), where as 'At Carnegie Hall' is the greatest live recording ever done, in no small part because newer genres would become significantly more difficult to isolate out background noise. It is a summation and perfection of of lounge jazz, feeling intimate and personal, despite being a live recording in a huge hall, trashing conventional tempos (11/4 anyone?) in a way that still isn't seen much today because it's so technically difficult, in any genre. Have a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVLIcbUL64M And as a bonus, here's eleven four: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ga4IBcQBFc

raton posted:Perfect here doesn't mean the best or most influential, although all three of these are very good and very inflential. What I mean is there isn't one bad song stinking up the thing, or weird pacing or big uneven spots, etc -- the album is good and is without flaws front to back. This puts out Sgt Peppers, Blood on the Tracks, Dark Side of the Moon and definitely quite a few others but whatever. Grampa we’ve been talking a lot about this as a family and we think it’s best for you to move into a home.

If you like live jazz you might also contemplate The Oscar Peterson Trio At Newport (Live) where they just randomly bring Sonny Stitt, Roy Eldridge and Jo Jones on stage for shits and giggles. Also Miles Davis In Person At The Blackhawk is a 3 disc monument of talent.

the best jazz album was created sometime in 1949 in a smoke filled, dank rear end basement venue and was never actually recorded

Phish was named the greatest American rock n roll band ever because they basically took jazz music and perfected it. It wasn’t really listenable before phish.

Angel Dust by Faith No More. Good write up on this one earlier in the thread. Best album of the 90's. Fight me. Lateralus by Tool. Too bad Maynard is such a douche. Mer De Noms by A Perfect Circle. And maybe Thirteenth Step. Emotive and Eat the Elephant not so much. The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move - Infectious Grooves (I can't defend this) Black Sands - Bonobo Dummy - Portishead The Great Southern Trendkill - Pantera I'd say something by Megadeth, probably Rust in Peace, but there's always something embarrassing on every album. I Hear Black by Overkill. Best groove metal album ever. Gant and Cannavino were the poo poo. Rockity Roll - Mike Doughty Songs from the Big Chair - Tears for Fears

This Oscar Peterson clip has the most perfect interaction between three guys and a song that I've ever seen, it's like they're one mind and that kind has every part of the song intentionally wrapping around the tempo of the song, slower and faster, to get as much out of each moment as it can https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTJhHn-TuDY

They basically took that music and perfected it. It’s like what the Beatles did with like r&b and blues music.

Saying that jazz wasn't listenable before Phish fixed it is an opinion I find a little hard to take seriously myself so I assume it's just hyperbole.

I had to listen to jazz music for a class and I got like 10 seconds in to Chattanooga Choo choo before I just decided I wasn’t going to put any work in on that class. It was pass/fail so I could fake it but yeah I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that phish makes better jazz music than that. It’s like saying a Mercedes SL is better than a model T. Just cause it’s old and important doesn’t mean it performs well.

overseer07 posted:Black Sands - Bonobo Black Sands is better than the last two, but I'm not sure that it's better than the first two. The whole Bonobo catalogue, especially Sweetness, It Came from the Sea and the One Offs collection. Bonobo is one of my favorite artists period, but I don't know if I've found the "perfect" ambient/chill album yet. And Megadeth is the centerpiece of one of my favorite Onion articles of all time Yeah, this one is actually perfect even though I think Seeds of Love is a technically superior TfF album from every aspect other than kicking rear end, which this one definitely does from start to finish- I Believe is literally just taking a breath. e: I will listen to some Phish and report back, but I really don't believe it's the best of jazz- I was listening to In a Silent Way and to me, I couldn't ask for any better of a jazz album Harold Stassen fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Dec 19, 2018 |

Phish Phish is an American rock band that was founded at the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont in 1983.More at Wikipedia I think there was maybe something other than Chattanooga Choo Choo recorded in the jazz world prior to 1983.

I taught myself to play guitar with that album, and still play along all the time. And agreed on Bonobo. I just have to go with Black Sands because I love Kiara and Kong so much. Such a great couple of songs to open an album.
