Post a controversial music opinion

I find the extremely specific genre names under the electronic and metal umbrellas silly.

It can be fun to mix them. Death trance acid. Hard black glam. Industrial hair.

Personal note: I pretty much noped out in 1995 when I encountered earnest gatekeeping about the boundaries of vegancore.

There should be more genres based on diet tho: ovo-lacto-disco. paleo ska. Etc.

I like that, I'll start to pronounce it 'iddim.

4-6 deck organized chaos will probably happen, but not by human dj's

i could definitely rank my 5 favorite donald duck comics

I like making lists in my mind, and I don't even know why. It's not that I think the lists have much value, it's just the kind of exercise that my brain likes as a thinking prompt.

xp please rank your 5 favorite Donald Duck comics!

the golden helmet (1952), pool sharks (1951), the old castle's secret (1948), letter to santa (1949), the talking dog (1953). (all by carl barks, of course.)

Most songs would be improved if we replaced guitar solos with Mariah Carey whistle vocals.

paleo ska

This is giving me chills. A gang of like 7 ripped dudes with trombones.

Carl Barks is imperialist prejudices

The Golden Helmet is classic, Lost in the Andes and Back to Long Ago are up there for me.

I definitely would like more dance music that changes tempo/key and that. Don't see why not and don't agree you wouldn't be able to dance to it. Plenty of tunes switch up/down partway through

Dinosaur Jr would sound bonkers

Death trance acid

Yes, it's boring because it doesn't live up to its progressive rhetoric.

Max Martin is a terrible songwriter who has ruined pop music for over two decades.

That's controversial?

Imago actually likes Wet Leg.

The list of MM #1s is like a gallery of crimes against text setting in the English language.

I just think of him as second-generation ABBA, me

he seemed pleasant enough on Jessie Ware's podcast

you know what?

fuck sonic youth.

they suck. fucking overrated trash.

wow i feel better.

Still better than McCartney.

otm

Daydream Nation is the only good Sonic Youth album.

Daydream Nation is the only good Sonic Youth album.

I don’t know if saying the debut EP is my favorite Sonic Youth is a challop or anything but “Burning Spear” runs through my head A LOT.

Goo is the only good Sonic Youth album.

It feels like all of you came here specifically to strike back against Sund4r, lol

My favourite Sonic Youth albums/moments are such outliers that I feel like I must subconsciously hate the band: Ciccone Youth, the first song on Experimental Jet Set, the s/t EP. I generally like any given Kim song tho

As for enjoying Sonic Youth when they're being Sonic Youth I do really like Rather Ripped and Nurse

Sonic Youth were an important band for me growing up but I haven't listen to any of their records post Washing Machine.

Sonic Nurse was my favorite album of 2004. Still is.

Every Sonic Youth album is good (speaking as a casual fan)

Nurse is really great! I love the mix on it, it is so unique and interesting, very hollow sounding. Rather Ripped is more like a pop album, I really like it too

this is what prompted me to reevaluate my own position. i've played "into the groovey" probably a hundred times over the past few months and it's quickly become my favorite thing they ever did.

also full disclosure: the whole feud with mariah carey was a big eye opener for me. like, okay yeah she's pretty unlikeable but you guys are literally trying to provoke her for no reason. just kind of sad.

Feud? Afaik, they did one song about her - did she ever even hear it?

Idk what anyone sees in those Whitey Album tracks, though. First EP is good.

the first song on Experimental Jet Set

I have really weird vivid associations with this song; I drove all night to visit my girlfriend in college and when I woke up after sleeping for like three hours and this was playing and I couldn't tell what it was or who was singing or if it was part of a dream and it's kind of haunted me every since.

Sonic Youth is one of those bands that even though I like them I like them more in theory than in practice (and I say this as someone who has a tattoo of the cover of Goo).

I really only think they got it right with Dirty.

have you heard "Kim Gordon and the Arthur Doyle Handcream" recently, though?

nurse and rather ripped are both very good, my favorites of theirs post-goo (along with murray st)

the first song on Experimental Jet Set

This is the only SY song I really like a lot

Sonic Youth is one of the greatest American rock bands and have an amazingly high quality catalog

this is definitely my least favorite ilm thread of all time, the whole premise brings out the most annoying aspects of all of us

I think Sonic Youth is a band best discovered as a teenager when you're coming out of your Pink Floyd phase

(i will never load all posts to witness whatever dumb condescending bullshit i posted 8 years ago or w/e)

speaking of condescending

I discovered Sonic Youth as a teenager coming out of my punk phase
