Treeship and waterface aren't more garbage than a lot of garbage ILX posters, but they just post SO FUCKING MUCH TO EVERY SINGLE THREAD. And yet we temp-banned ethan for image-bombing?
Seriously, is nu-ILX is so cuddly-wuddly that this is an acceptable posting strategy?
i don't listen to it anymore, and am annoyed to hear it, but stairway to heaven was maybe the most immediately enjoyable song 12 year old treeship had ever heard.― Treeship, Friday, July 26, 2013 12:52 AM (2 weeks ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
it's epic. i don't think it's success is hard to understand at all.

my parents are not interested in music at all, really... big billy joel/bruce springsteen people in the 80s, before that my mom was into music but she drifted away from it... and both of them love Bat Out of Hell

xp just listened to stairway again for the first time in a while. it was indeed awesome. take back what i said about being "annoyed" by it... that was true, but it's not the song's fault really

i love the album art for bat out of hell. and there is good stuff on the album. i think the opposition to it is more ideological than musical -- it represents the opposite of punk rock ethos, even more than most prog. in high school i knew someone who said that that album represented "everything that was evil, and is still evil about our music entertainment culture." this is a high school student circa 2006... that album continues to have a stigma

people are willing to push themselves to like stuff that might immediately put them off it seems culturally relevant, or a thing that would open up conversations, or etc. just look at how many people still read ulysses.

i think music studios and even more so movie studios underestimate the public, and push predictable, recycled, "proven" products because they think this is all the public wants or understands

i might start petitioning for a hard return to the days when ILX would run off great music writers for calling them paedos for no reason
