The problem with guitar virtuosos is that most of them wouldn't know a good musical concept if they tripped over it, which happens just often enough to keep everyone confused. The exception that proves not a damn thing is Jimi Hendrix, the finest guitarist in any idiom ever. Though he comes close sometimes, this Texan ain't Hendrix. But between earned Jimi cover and lyric refreshment, album two is almost everything a reasonable person might hope from him: a roadhouse album with gargantuan sonic imagination. B+

The Clash [Epic, 1979]Cut for cut, this may be the greatest rock and roll album (plus limited-edition bonus single) ever manufactured in the U.S. It offers ten of the fourteen titles on the band's British debut as well as seven of the thirteen available only on forty-five. And the sequencing is anything but haphazard; the eight songs on side one divide into self-contained pairs that function as extended oxymorons on careerism, corporate power, race, and anomie. Yet the package feels misbegotten. The U.K. version of The Clash is the greatest rock and roll album ever manufactured anywhere partly because its innocence is of a piece--it never stops snarling, it's always threatening to blow up in your face. I'm still mad the real thing wasn't released two years ago, and I know for certain (I made a tape) that the singles would have made a dandy album by themselves. Nevertheless, a great introduction and a hell of a bargain. A
>>128768351Are old generations your arbiter for what's good or not? Out of punk rock came new wave, post-punk, alternative rock, indie, hardcore, gothic rock, etc, which would dominate the music scene for the next decades.
>>128768843no, i'm pointing out how phony a lot of critics are.go ahead and like punk, i don't care.but literally the only 37 year old's at the time who claimed to like it were critics like Christgau. If you can find five pre-punk rock stars who claimed the Clash was the greatest thing they ever heard, like Xgau, I'll alter my view that most critics lie a lot about what they really like.
>>128768843>Out of punk rock came new wave, post-punk, alternative rock, indie, hardcore, gothic rocklol no... all of that stuff was going on at the same time. punk wasnt even music because nobody ever bought the stuff or listened to it. it was a bunch of no talent kids screaming into a mic and beating on a geetar in front of 20 other kids
>>128770723That's what 28 year olds in anoraks were saying back then.
>>128770723No it didn't. It all branched out of punk, and what your describing is hardcore. The original punk scene in both the UK and US was a melodic return to garage rock/power pop.

>>128760486I think they sound similar more due to the lack of other British high pitched singers than because of a substantial similarity in their timbres. Thom Yorke could be brought up in a comparison to any alt rock singer with his vocal range because apparently he was the first British guy to sing high pitched in alt rock. But Matt's voice was also similar to that of Jeff Buckley, who he said that inspired him to sing the way that he does. So to me it's unfair to characterize "high pitch in alt rock" as "Thom Yorke's style", because the ones who did it after him didn't necessarily resemble him. To put everyone who did it inside of one style would be fine, but calling it "Thom's" is forced.
>>128760097>Only flaw in this album is the high pitchI enjoy this song more when you consider matt was high on shrooms the whole time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3aRxqYeXlc
>>128757171I personally like Black Holes and The Resistance because they fully embraced their faggy pop influences, which they excelled at, while making it solid projects with moderate ambition, those were the albums that perfected their identity, only to flanderize themselves with 2nd Law and beyond, they never got a clue and that's a shame because I feel deep down they were capable of more, but Matt is a lazy fuck
>>128770554There's like 2 "poppy" songs on each of those albums. Do people listen to the albums or just the fucking singles? The best Muse songs are the less popular ones.

Another tune for the prospective EP. I remember listening to that dog. and trying to write a song like Long Island. I think this needs a few touch ups in some places, I don't really like the way the last note of the guitar solo dies. The different guitar takes also get so slightly out of sync at the start in a way that drives me nutty. Maybe I'm losing perspective, who knows.

>>128769617You have a point. In my mind, a lot of the good post-romantic composers had blends of modernism (eg Sibelius), but it's possible I'm selectively and incorrectly separating the good composers from the not. For the record, yeah, I was thinking of the likes of Hanson and Langgaard.

Konstantin Lifschitz’s Bachhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3r58VS4wwQ&list=OLAK5uy_n8Fwtb3obEv5yb8CgTJqtyIO7QQUhdq3M&index=1>Not since Glenn Gould's debut recordings has a young pianist tackled this challenging work with similar executional ease and unbridled joy. Konstantin Lifschitz blends heart, mind, and fingers in a way that makes Bach's textural complexities clear with a minimum of fuss. What marvelous music-making, and to think the pianist was sixteen when he recorded this! Lifschitz observes all the repeats. --Jed Distler
The Post-Punk Revival scene of the 00s was actually the purest form of Indie Rock or Alternative Rock, since it brought the genre back to its the original concept, which is melodic pop rock fused with post-punk. The first wave of these bands like Television Personalities and Dolly Mixture had post-punk in their blood, then you got a legendary band like Pixies with a huge post-punk influence in their sound as well, then it all looped back in the 00s when edgy stuff like Grunge fell out of order cause they tried too hard to make alt rock political to emulate "punk". Early Arctic Monkeys is closer to what Indie Rock has always meant spiritually.
>>128763957indie rock belonged to early post punk
>>128763812gobledygook10/10 album though
>>128763823Pic related is the best post-punk album.
>>128763823Even the dixieland jazz revival?
>>128768698Punk is just normal rock (=Pop Rock, Garage Rock, Power Pop, Jangle Pop and Merseybeat). The Indie sound has always been a variant of normal rock (since the late 50s). You could say Indie got revived via punk and post-punk but Big Star sounded pretty Indie in the early 70s so I wouldn’t say it was completely dead before Punk revived it
Whats the music equivalent?
## **Closest Overall Fit: Sufjan Stevens****Why he’s DFW-like:*** Intricate, elaborate compositions (like DFW’s intricate prose)* Massive, ambitious conceptual projects (e.g., *Illinois*, *Carrie & Lowell*; North America state-album concept)* Blends irony, earnestness, and emotional vulnerability* Has a meticulous, almost hyper-literate quality to his lyrics* Deep fan devotion + “too precious/too ornate” criticism (very DFWish)---## **For maximalist complexity + virtuosity: Radiohead****Why:**Comment too long.
