Post a controversial music opinion

Hmm maybe Bow Wow Wow was the reason for confusion! Ha

i knew there would be one before her i just am not familiar with who that is
thank you ilm

from lil bow wow's wiki

In 1993, he performed at a concert in Los Angeles, and was noticed by rapper Snoop Dogg, who subsequently gave him a stage name, "Lil' Bow Wow".[4]

The best album Mick Jones made was B.A.D’s ‘Megatop Phoenix’.

Lil' Rodney Cee from the Funky 4 + 1

oh shit that's right! good lookin out

hs is great so may have to retract my controversial music opinion

TS: Big Rappers vs. Lil Rappers

Soft Machine wasn't truly great until Robert Wyatt left the band

Gong wasn't truly great until Daevid Allen left the band

(I am OK with the idea that these are a coincidences, as I enjoy both Wyatt and Allen quite a bit. But I much prefer the albums without them)

There is something pitiable and maybe even tragic about people in their forties and fifties who are still obsessed with the Misfits and the Ramones

or shellac and autechre

Eh, people are attracted to different things. People could conceivably like the music even if the lyrics don't have significance for them in their forties and fifties.

I consider everyone on ilx pitiable and tragic

is that really a musical opinion

or a controversial one?

that too

The best album Mick Jones made was B.A.D’s ‘Megatop Phoenix’.

it's top 3 for sure

nothing per se bad abt being pitiable and/or tragic

or vain, erudite and stupid

I always wondered about that title. Does each word describe a specific band member? Bruce is definitely "erudite"

similar question (as long as I'm derailing): was "experimental, jet set, trash and no star" meant to describe the individual members of Sonic Youth? If so, I'd guess Lee, Kim, Thurston, Steve, respectively

p sure Thurston confirmed that explicitly in an interview (at least, that's my memory)

can't tell if you guys are joking but there's no comma after "experimental" and experimental jet set is a play on words

idgi

"Not surprisingly, the title had no single explanation. It was either a play on their alter egos - Ranaldo, Gordon, Moore, and Shelly, respectively - or, as Moore told writer Alec Foege, it was inspired by the time Yoshimi P-We, the drummer of... the Boredoms, was in the company of Moore and Gordon and was approached by autograph-seeking kids. "No - no star!" she said, in broken English."

- David Browne, Goodbye 20th Century: A Biography of Sonic Youth, pp. 267-268

I'm still waiting to learn how "experimental jet set" is a play on words

That’s a great Yoshimi story

I think maybe there was a joke that SY had become the 'experimental jet set' after signing to DGC? I don't see a play on words either.

I guess because it's a combination of "experimental jet" and "jet set"?

^ that, yeah

The Kinks 1964-1971 > The Beatles

agree

Ramsey Lewis's 1970s albums are AT LEAST as good as Herbie Hancock's work from the same era, and in the latter half of the decade, they're better.

Yeah, I dove deep into Duke’s MPS catalog a couple of years ago; great stuff, sadly overlooked now.

he's great in Zappa's band too

Bad Bunny album is boring af

Maybe you were expecting J Balvin

Post a controversial music opinion: thoughtless music is worse than bad music.

i def agree with this

Tracks >>>>>>> Playlists > Albums

food >>>>> meals

ALL ALBUMS, ALL THE TIME.

A man after my own heart.

I just have no time for albums in my life now. 3 or 5 minutes can get my complete attention. Why do I then need to hear another 11 tracks from the same artist, of which at least half will be filler? I still love many LPs, but just feel like I've had my fill of them, that is until the theoretical day I get an hour to sit and listen undisturbed, which may never come.

I know you are a good person but that sounds like violence to me.

which at least half will be filler?

life is filler

it's about the notes they don't play

Take "If you are feeling sinister".

...please!

I can understand this POV from someone who only listens to pop music, but it doesn't apply to the genres I listen to at all.

'I just have no time for full compositions in my life now. 3 or 5 minutes can get my complete attention. Why do I need to hear another 11 movements from the same composer, of which at least half will be filler?'

I chose to read that post as a surreptitious allusion to György Kurtág's 12 Microludes for string quartet.
