Post a controversial music opinion

Rushomancy otm, just the idea of ranking stuff anymore I can't really be bothered

on a related point i think the indie ppl loving lofi aesthetics and 'imperfection' more generally were onto something and the criticisms of them were basic and thoughtless (esp when they used some notion fetishism)

This is not an opinion I share - I spotted it on Twitter - but MAN does it belong in this thread.

that is some good ass trollin'.

parody of this

increasingly it seems like if you're not the absolute best in the world at something the general attitude is that you might as well not bother.

Nah, it’s just a music nerd thing. AFAIK, actual musicians (most, anyway) don’t think that way; they just do their thing because they love it and are driven to do it, as artists.

(I think most interesting musicians seem to be fairly self-effacing in interviews, actually. Most, not all...)

I like overusing superlatives like “the best” because I seek to make my life as close to a series of breathtakingly beautiful experiences as I possibly can

lmao at that emo paragraph

MONOTONOUS, COLD and somewhat AGONIZING

Kinda like yer mom

dark side of the moon is surprisingly enjoyable

Dark Side of the Moon would've been improved with Bernard Sumner writing the lyrics imo

I don’t know any of the lyrics on Dark Side Of The Moon, unless “I have become.............. comfortably numb” is one, but that feels probable

xp - possibly so! It came on the radio the other day, and I thought to myself, "this is kinda okay, actually."

I’m pretty sure it goes MONEY ner ner ner nernerner

dope record but def improved if they'd left "money" off and just released that as a single

Having a “Berenstain Bears” moment, looking at the Wikipedia page for this album and learning that it is apparently titled The Dark Side of the Moon

woah..... that freaks me out

"Money" is such a crap song

Absolutely, it's plodding blueay garbage. Ugh.

... bluesy, that is. I hate it when Floyd play the blues.

"Money" is the best song on the album

^^^ My actual apparently controversial opinion.

Lyrical contributions by Bernard Sumner would not have improved it.

^^^ another bold stance on this iconoclastic evening

how dare you sir how dare you

I'm gonna throw in this possibly controversial opinion:

The Dark Side of the Moon is not one of the top 5 Pink Floyd albums

The Division Bell is way better than I remembered, that’s for sure

The Division Bell is also not one of the top 5 Pink Floyd albums

I'll bite - what are the top five?????

Money is awesome wtf

The Division Bell is also not one of the top 5 Pink Floyd albums

This is a quality control. Also wrong.

*controp

Pink Floyd should have been eaten by wolves

Pink Floyd should have been eaten by wolves

Absolutely, it's plodding blueay garbage. Ugh.

yeah, so many blues in 7/8

Oh stfu you boring cunt.

Never forget this classic thread:

TS: Prince or Bowie?

Ok, just stumbled across this shit-encrusted gem and like wow. Excepting the period from about April to December 2016, any comparison between these two artists is just asinine. But if you must compare it's like this: Anyone who favors Bowie is worse than Donald Trump as a human being and ought to have their ears sliced off because they obviously aren't fucking working

^Intentional exaggeration btw. I like Bowie but give me a fucking break. If we can't convince twentysomethings and younger of Prince's greatness we will have failed as a species

Thread turned nasty.

PINK FLOYD RULES

Good: Prince, Bowie
Bad: Being angry with people for having different taste in music to you
Worst: Reading about slicing off people's ears first thing on a Monday

If we can't convince twentysomethings and younger of Prince's greatness we will have failed as a species

First step: stop harming your own case by pretending he had more than a half dozen songs worth a shit after 1989.

controp not all songs in 7/8 time are good

How many great albums has Prince put out since the twentysomethings and younger were born

really glad we don't do T/S thread anymore they were pretty pointless

C or D: T/S threads

Prince and Bowie are both the kind of artists for whom Greatest Hits comps make a whole lot of sense.

his albums from that era are inconsistent but Anthology: 1995-2010 is pretty damn good front to back

controp not all songs in 7/8 time are good

seven is a jolly good time
