Graceland is the only good thing Paul Simon ever did.

>>128472462this is awful
>>128472331This one only relevant to a fairly niche group, but... Stravinsky is pure, unadulterated ass.
>>128472410i just state the obvious, wannabe
Most Steely Dan songs start to feel soulless once you start enjoying so-called "real" jazz
Mick Jagger is ridiculous
She's the Boss [Columbia, 1985]History may absolve him. Jeff Beck earns his fucked-up legend here, and Bill Laswell puts together several bands--like Beck-Martinez-Hancock-Shakespeare-Dunbar-Ponce on "Running Out of Luck"--that should only tour. So maybe a hundred years from now folks who've never read People will admire the timbral virtuosity and breath control of the man atop the tracks. But Jagger has become such an overbearing public presence that I for one find it impossible to care about his romantic vagaries no matter how hard he leather-lungs. It would be going too far, unfortunately, to say he's a joke. But the only thing left for him to do with his persona is burlesque it, which is why the title track is the only one that's any fun. And as my wife complains, he probably thinks it describes the way things are with him and Jerry. C
bad music good and good music bad
>>128472696His entire band is ridiculous
>>128472331posting gore doesn't make you cool >:^(
Music.. is kind of dumb if you think about it
Thom yorke is the worst vocalist in rock. muse is shit tier reddit music. RHCP are a group of talented musicians who are incapable of writing a decent song. squarepusher is mid. Tycho is below mid and should be forgotten. most post rock fucking sucks and is soooo forced. The quebecois fuckers get away with it though.
>>128472331>What is your most contrarian music take?Anyone saying rap isn't music is motivated purely by racism and nothing more.
>>128473456This is the least contrarian opinion ever
>>128473456hip hop is music, rap is an actionget it right nigga
>>128472416Pavement did really good slacker rock because it was more like countryish ballads with a jam band grateful dead feel and not just lazy shit
Kpop is not worse than western popBoth are overproduced crap (this is also an unpopular opinion on nu/mu/) but at least asian girls are actually hot, and they respect the industry so to speak, what I mean by this is, western popstar act like rocktsars, and talk like they know shit; they don't, they don't have real opinions and they don't know anything, they havr 20 producers for each song and they don't even write their own lyricsAt least asian idols don't LARP as rockstars, they know their placeFor some reason midwits think wester pop is more creative or "authentic"Lmao nigga nothing is authentic in this eraThere's good fake and bad fake, and eastern pop is good fake
>>128474846lmao
Texture is more interesting than melody or rhythm.
>>128472331Meddle and Wish You Were Here are the only good Pink Floyd records. DSOTM sucks.
>>128472774Fuck you. While we're here, this album is great and Around the Fur kinda sucks.
>>128473456Nothing contrarian about thisVery reddit/mu/ opinion
>>128472331Jazz is the best music genre but it gets repeatedly cucked by the worst instrument known to mankind (trumpet)
>>128473456rap isn’t musicI love blues, jazz and reggae and I’m not american
>>128473456I am a little racist but you have to admit rap is the least exciting type of music out there
>>128473456There’s nothing wrong with racism, boomer.
If you listen to music for any other reason than that it sounds good to you, you're fucking retarded.Music critics are completely irrelevant these days because you can just listen to everything and their opinion does not matter.If you're ashamed of liking music (guilty pleasures) you're a brainwashed faggot who is too insecure to simply admit that music can sound good regardless of who made it or what genre it is.
>>128477439Bugman opinion
>>128474846True! Carry on k-pop ! conquer the world, until 95% of all music is k-pop !
>>128472345Most music genres suck, only k-pop is consistently good, no wonder k-pop represents 75% of the whole board, the lot of you are all obscurantist obscurists.
>>128472331I don't give a shit about how he's a multitalented virtuoso one man band or how he pioneered his own genre of music and then some. MJ's music still mogs the fuck out of Prince's.
jazz is pure, unadulterated ASS
>>128472331Billie Eilish is the worst person and musician to ever live on the Earth.Lol.
Let It Be, in its original form, is a top 3 Beatles album.
>>128472331Chopin's musical language is emotionally ambitious but operates within a harmonic and textural idiom that (in my view) cannot fully support that ambition. This creates an aesthetic mismatch that I find less satisfying than the proportional unity in Baroque or the fully realized harmonic depth of late Romantic/early modern music.
>>128473456Not contrarian, NOT MUSIC
>>128477816That's kendrick
The Beatles aren't a good band. Elvis isn't good.Johnny Cash is the only good country singer.The only good rappers intentionally sound cringe and must be black, but they have to be intelligent as well. Most indie music sucks. There's only 3 good singer-songwriters, and they'll all from Nebraska.Bob Dylan is dogshit.Black Sabbath is gay.Metallica is gay but they have a few good songs.Megadeth is gay.Pretty much all purist metal is gay. The only good metal is metalcore/nu-metal shit.There's usually only 3 good bands from any genre. lol.POOP ASS POOP BUTTHOLE. TITTY TITTY FART FART.
>>128472331Tones and I isn't that bad
>>128477692Kpop is fuckin garbage. Who are people like you and why are you delusional? God thats the worst fucking music anyone can listen to. 3rd rate backstreet boys boy band nonsense
>>128477439This board or zoomers in general (not sure, im old) are full of incels that carr more about jerking off to cute girls than actually listening to good music. Which is why you got morons obsessed with girls instead of talking about actual music. These people are purely delusional and that's why you have non stop k pop generals
>>128478445You must be a newfag. I've been here since 2006. Almost every major board has had threads devoted to female worship since that time. We're fucking men. Calling this a zoomer phenomenon is a misdiagnosis. If you're going to criticize something, focus on the lack of critical thinking, not adoration of females.
>>128472334red rubber ball mah nigguh
>>128478455Youre a pathetic beta male faggot
>>128478478Cool story, bro. Go to /pol/. It's the ideal board for people who don't actually belong on 4chan.
>>128478488Based
>>128474846every single group is a menudo tier industry plant
>>128478455yeah chicks are great but they dont affect my opinion of music. if Im listening to music idgaf who wrote it, what they look like, if I want to fuck them etc, I just care what it sounds like. even tho I really like female vocals and very often prefer them to male vocals I rarely even bother to find out if the singer is hot, I dont care.
>>128478488Waifu fags are pathetic and deserve the rope. Go ahead and be a loser all your life
>>128478514I agree with you in the context of experiencing music. Whether or not a female band member is attractive won't influence if I listen to the music or not. I judge the music itself. If a band member happens to be hot, it's not surprising or problematic that people will celebrate it. Appreciating women involved in your favorite pastime is natural.
>>128478554Its just really shallow to care more about image than the actual music. Thats what 12 year old girls do. And its sad the poptimism plague makes people do that. Who gives a shit about what woman is hot or not. I appreciate talented men and women who do good music. Their looks are irrelevant . Simps are ruining Fandom and its getting dumb
>>128478554False premise, when the "favorite pastime" is appreciating women. Their involvement in music is purely incidental, if even relevant (it usually isn't which is why they have NOTHING to say about it)
>>128478554the point was that its displaced practically all the music discussion. all people give a fuck about now on /mu/ is pulling their chickens to top40 popsluts or bugfaced gooks. no matter how hot you think some unattainable girl is, if you cant talk about anything else youre a fucking loser and a pain in the arse to be around
>>128478572There are genres that exist almost exclusively for stanning. That's pretty much the entirety of K-Pop. Like >>128478581 is saying, in a typical band, their involvement is incidental, and even then they're more likely to get stans and admirers for being female (if they're attractive, and sometimes even if they aren't). It's difficult to get noticed without merit if you're in a conventional band anyway. A whole career can't be propped up by looking hot when it comes to music. There's always going to be a skilled producer behind a pretty face in the worst scenarios. I can't name one female musician in a conventional band who's relevant that doesn't have decent output, regardless of their appearance.
>>128473456I think rap is not music even if it's made by whites, so you're factually wrong*reddit fedora hat tip*
Music is a cope for lonely faggots.Normies listen to crap music because they don't care, music is not that important to them, they have other things in life
>>128478667>he thinks normies are living
>>128478478It's fucking hilarious how easily you can tell election tourists by their whining buzzwords.>>128472331Maybe not the MOST contrarian take, but Kraftwerk is the most important band of the 20th century, and it's not even close.
Curve are better than Slowdive, MBV or Ride.
>>128478690>he is so out of touch with real life, he thinks everyone else must be having the same shit life as a shut-in
>>128472331stones were a "singles and nothing else" band until Beggars Banquet and a real band until Tattoo You
>>128478891>he's so in touch with being an NPC that he thinks the opposite is bad
>>128478415K-pop is the best music genre, I'm convinced you lot hate on it just to be hipster contrarians, kek !
128479093>Zero (0) argument That's a (You) denial from me
>>128479093>K-pop is the best music genreThis but unironically.
>>128472345>metal sucks>burzum was the peak and it wasnt even metal>everyone else is just riding vargs coattail
queen, the beatles, radiohead and pink floyd fans all belong to a special category>loved by plebs >defended by plebs >argued for by plebs >PLEBS DEMAND YOUR FUCKING RESPECT. so often the person criticizing knows 10x more tracks than the person defending. they somehow attract the most confident nerds who have zero passion for music generally. nirvana, the rolling stones, tom petty, van halen fans… they rarely DEMAND you show respect. always far more prepared to hear a differing opinion.
>>128478347I’ll give you a pity (you)
Some of the wpop waifus make good music
>>128473456uh sweetie its LITERALLY 2025 racism is based and pretending to like niggers is cringe
>>128474846>what I mean by this is, western popstar act like rocktsars, and talk like they know shit; they don't, they don't have real opinions and they don't know anything, they havr 20 producers for each song and they don't even write their own lyricsThe lack of self awareness in this post is mind boggling.
>>128478347I unironically agree with 90% of this post
>>128478347You succeeded at being a contrarian, and that's about it...
>>128472331The Grateful Dead peaked with their debut and their garage rock era as a whole was way better than all their various jam band eras
When it comes to industrial: repetitive sample spam made by artfag weirdos >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pop rock with synths.
>>128472345metal doesn't suck but some sub-genres are absolute ass. Mainly death metal, power metal and symphonic metal.
