Looking back, what's the biggest bullshit, musically speaking, that you fell for in the 00s

Oh yeah, I bought that fucking Big & Rich album, too. Thanks, Chuck.

Battles? How are they tasting to y'all at this remove?

haha, apparently i missed the great Big & Rich ILM deception. They were the countrypolitan band with the midget rapper, right?

lolz @ people that listen to xhuxh eddy

Still love the shit out of Battles and anxiously waiting for another album!

They were the countrypolitan band with the midget rapper, right?

nah they teamed up with "blackneck" conservative Republican black rapper Cowboy Troy. (He is not a midget)

wasn't there a band with a midget rapper?

oh i'm thinking of the Kid Rock midget rapper. nevermind.

RIP

Well, and Geto Boys...

I think I walked around pretending to like Annie for a while.

Although I still like Chewing Gum.

keep it real ILM!

The Battles album was WAY better when I returned to it a couple of years on

I own it but still have not given it due time tbh. On first two listens it honestly reminded me of Gentle Giant more than anything, but that's a positive.

having trouble coming up with pop examples, maybe gwen stefani?

how about Lady Gaga

we need more records and then some distance

i find that most early 00s pop has gotten even more classic as the years go by

sorry, "most of my favorite early 00s pop"

lol yeah just trolling obviously

altho anybody rep'ing for Katy Perry in the future is gonna get the stinkeye from me

i mean, how classic does this sound right now:

god yes

yeah nelly seems actually better in retrospect

yep

Dude, Nelly's early singles are great!

lol at Big & Rich. I too, downloaded it because of that fucking thread.

I spent a lot of this decade catching up with pre-2000s music because I only escaped from the cave that I grew up in around 2001 or so. That said...The Rapture.

aw I like that one Rapture album I own, Echoes...

nelly is terrible sorry guys

actually fuck I just remembered the dark days of 2001

Unless they've seriously reworked the new stuff I've heard live, I dunno.

When's the last time you listened to Echoes? Because I didn't think too much of it until I gave it a listen about a year ago for the first time in forever. And...yikes.

haha last weekend

it's fun. the only thing that really sticks in my craw about it is that one really blatant PiL rip, where they bite the "the face is raining/across the border" lyric/melody

(otoh I have personal connections to those guys so it has some added resonance for me)

actually fuck I just remembered the dark days of 2001

The way the distortion kicks in for the second chorus of California is great though.

How many people are still willing to rep for Wolf Eyes and their ilk?

this 1985 david essex mini-LP with six hip-hop remixes of "rock on" rocks harder than bad brains. and i love bad brains. did i mention that i bought it for $1?

rapture's 2nd disc is not bad all around (changed lead singers, that prolly helped), echoes has some decent stuff on it too

i have 2 agree w ppl who said the streets. i think 'fell for' is less like 'aw <3 u...wait now i am self-conscious of this and h8 u' and more like 'dude(s) whose opinion i trust praised this i will give this a shot and i like this with the feedback that this is well-received' and once u ~escape~ that feedback loop u r just like FUCK this is unlistenable bullshit.

i wz just listening to hisssing fauna (yep on youtube) for the first time today...i really like that album...

also i'll rep for wolf eyes somewhat..though ive only heard burned mind...i want to get human animal too

ash and blink made some great stuff, will defend till i die even if i never actually feel the need to listen to either till then either

ok guys are you ready for the big one

coldplay

with a passion. still blast this ish on the regular. i was just blazing Pink & Brown and Kites the other day

Also, Sightings have made like the best record of 2010 imo

sightings are great
wolf eyes possibly a bit overexposed but should never put noise on this thread cuz people who says noise is 'bullshit' 'a fraud' etc are nudniks, whatever else it is it isn't that

poptimists and rap-stans have no regrets, I see

see i've been trying to think but like a couple people said upthread, i don't tend to have a lot of remorse about these things. here and there i'll remember albums that were in my top 10 a few years ago like Brooke Valentine that i wouldn't rate as high now, but i'm not really like lol man i got swindled or anything. then again, the 90s was my time of being a teenager and going whole hog on some goofy shit, in the 00s i was more conservative with only really taking chances on or initially overrated new albums by artists i already liked, that turned out later to be kinda crap.

i bought into the second jeezy album, which actually only has like 4 good songs

that's one that i remember convincing myself was actually good, but it's def noticeably worse than 101 or recession (or trap or die)

haha i remember being so mad at how shitty that album was, and am still kinda mad that Breihan stood by his rave review of it even after The Recession

yeah and then they let dombal underrate the recession

listening to "cheese and crackers" today kind of made me regret ron browz, even tho i still think "pop champagne" is dope

jeezy only has one good album tbh
