Goofy ass bink bonk music for babies to shake their rattle to. How were they active at the same time as The Velvet Underground and somehow lauded as progressive?
>>121530080Are you dumb?
>>121530080Miyako feet prpr
TVU sounds like fucking the Mamas & the Papas
>>121530143no they do not, tell me why
well the gaylvet gaynderground couldn't play for shit, they have a few catchy songs but they aren't professional level musicians like the ladsthat's why the beatles sold millions and millions of records and the vu didn't sell shit and had to live off their trust funds https://youtu.be/0CP9a7ofZno
>>121530182but tvu is actually interesting
>>121530182Does the amount of sells dictate what makes music good? The beatles are alright though I feel nothing when listening, I much prefer the velvet underground, white light/ white heat is amazing.
>>121530235i like that record too but you realize that the first song is a beatles ripoff right
>>121530250Is this true can you explain? even if its true, VU implemented something interesting in it, the rest of album is full of interesting ideas and is not a ripoff, who else was doing sister ray? The beatles could never do a sister ray
loook dude, imagine going from frank sintara to this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O58ouPdjgo0the beatles were a radical departure from the music of the day
>>121530329I think i would actually like the beatles more if it wasn't for their vocal style, it doesn't do it for me but the instrumentals are very cool
>>121530329nico came out at the same time and hendrix was contemporary too the beatles were already banal
Are we allowed to point out yet how half the first VU record is just lame early Rolling Stones knockoffs with a gimmick thrown in once in a while?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbW39jwtewE
>>121530405thats not even their best album, white light/ white heat is the best one
>>121530405no because rolling stones suck
>>121530080>AnimeKys seriously
>>121530405No because admitting that songs like There She Goes Again and I'm Waiting For the Man are overt homages to 60s-era Rolling Stones would break the schizo's mind.
>>121530799Yahnah
>>121530080You can not like The Beatles all you want, but anyone who tries to imply they are objectively bad is a contrarian retard. No matter what you may try to argue that doesn't change the fact that they are one of if not the most influential bands of all time, especially when it comes to the way music has evolved over the years. You can argue there are bands better than them (and you'd be right in my opinion), but that doesn't change the fact they are THE Beatles.
This song came out in ‘64https://youtu.be/WrAV5EVI4tU?si=V1Fsy7WVzJC7aZEi

VU's only real innovation, the viola drone heard on Venus In Furs, etc. - is arguably a direct off-shoot of George Harrison bringing Indian drone music into Western pop on Norweigan Wood, etc.
>>121531098This is so much of a stretch I'm assuming you're baiting
>>121531098Cale had been doing viola drones for 3 years before Norwegian Wood and John Cage was active decades before the Beatles formed but ok
>>121530875and yet the vu song is far, far better. way better guitar part, more charismatic vocal performance, better vocal melodies.
>>121531145what are you missing here? the beatles created an audience for that weird combing of musical cultures that resulted in psychedelia. here's paul butterfield's combining blues and indian, something they likely wouldn't have done without beatles first exposing a large audience to indian music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvWvOwLCWGg
>>121531221Once again the argument boils down to>T-the Beatles weren't the first but they created the audience for it! They were the most popular!!!
>>121531098>>121531221Hey look it's John Cale on national television making drone music while the Beatles were still covering Twist and Shout.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mqO-xsRyTM
>>121531404you just proved the opposite. VU and modern rock/pop sounds way more like Beatles than this chamber piano music. that's the point. beatles popularized guitar rock so much all the intellectual types came to them, not the opposite.

>>121530123kill yourself
>>121530143This. They're just too stoned to be anything other than mellow.
>>121530080There's zero substance behind any of the pseudointellectual preening on 4chan. Given that the site isn't entertaining anymore, it can be safely removed
HOLY SHIT! HIDAMARI SKETCH ON /MU/!!!?!???!The board is saved
