ITT: your most despicable, normie, NPC opinions that will make the entire board hate you. I'll start:

I agree with you even though I know it's a biased opinion. It's just so goddamn relatable

It's definitely the album that got me into MM circa 2010. And it provided my depressed high school self with a lot of comfort. I literally can't hate it

The Doors were feds that faked drug use to get normies to into them.

I thought everyone knew the doors blow?

i'm with you on that. i used to listen to all that backpack boom-bap lyrical miracle shit, but now whenever i try to go back to it, it's all cringeworthy.

Imagine Dragon's first two albums were good.

MGMT is one of the best musical acts since the mid 2000's. They just have three really popular songs that people got sick of

haha good one

Bitches' Brew is one of my least favorite albums of all time. The entire thing is a whole heap of nothingburger and I barely managed to get myself through it.

Progressive metal is the best kind of metal. I love Between the Buried and Me, The Contortionist, Sikth, Twelve Foot Ninja, Periphery, Protest the Hero... Not really normie opinion because even normies don't like it

It's the album I got me into MM so I can relate

I enjoy 90% of mu-core

i don't get it

rap as a whole is corny and doesn't age well. you'll get there eventually, the 20s is the decade to do it.

I vaguely recalled listening to kids and electric feel more just through osmosis, but I've really been out of the loop on them. That being said, I listened to LDA not long ago and I dig it a lot

yeah just like everyone else i clung onto this record for a while cause not only was it the record that got me into MM, but it got me into music in general. really love it for that

Current Gorillaz is as enjoyable to listen to than old Gorillaz, just different. The band has evolved pleasantly and still puts out music that is good for plebs and patricians alike.

I was gonna say the same. Actually I'm gonna double down . If you actively avoid compilations, you're a pleb, as many genres got started by people who weren't writing for albums as their primary focus. 60's garage rock, shit loads of electronic music, punk, folk, soul. A lotta bands and artists that helped birth entire scenes were kids who were just recording whatever they could, and then we're told they got a record deal and need to make a new album. And that's not even getting into ones that show earlier recordings of bands that never were put onto one of the albums (like Television's Little Johnny Jewel)

Not that there aren't bad and lazy completions. Particularly one that are just "hits", but avoiding them is distancing yourself from loads of great music.

there's nothing wrong with streaming services

Muse is good, and i don't think they copy Radiohead

90s Memphis

I know this doesn't really say much but what else should I listen if I like most of the Modest Mouse albums?

Radiohead is a good band.
I don't think Billie Eilish is a good musician but her music is alright.

Death Grips is basically the Linkin Park of the 2010s and 90% of their fans will outgrow them and feel corny for ever liking them.

rock music should be catchy and energetic, if you try to be all slow, atmospheric and shit you better put some complex / interesting elements in there or I'll just fall asleep / put on some jazz or classical

You say that but it really is hyper-meticulous with the amount of edits made to the tape

I really hate these posts where an user replies to a bunch of different people in the one post.

is there anyone here who just listens to single songs, and avoids listening to full albums / discographies?
someone justify that to me. if you 'like music' but you do that, i don't understand.

This isn't something that's normie per se but I think that cover albums as a kind of music actually hold a lot of potential if done right and is relatively unexplored in terms of how great it can be. The Xiu Xiu reimagining of the twin peaks soundtrack being an example

I like poetry, so I listen to music for the lyrics.

Based, idk why this board is so hateful pretty much everything posted here is good, probably because everyone tries too hard to have good taste. I like all the meme shit you guys rec including 100 gecs

Whats wrong with it? Playlists and individual song recommendations can be just as good as, or better than an album. An album is a flawed concept, if I want to listen to some pop song by Spice Girls, Red Hot Chili Peppers etc I don't have to listen to their dreadful albums in full

I like U2.

My confession: I fucking love the Doors. I don’t even know why but I can’t dislike them, they’re too good. I’d probably love them even more than I do if not for the connotations about them kinda fucking with my perception of them. The Doors did great and fun psychedelic blues rock that you have to be soulless to hate.

Yeah, I do. Albums inevitably are mostly crap.

nah, that’s mumble rap.

I strongly agree with this too. Check out the Pussy Galore version of Exile on Main St perhaps.

because music is something you invest yourself in. if you're not willing to sit down and listen to a song you dislike, you're never going to develop your taste.
you eat food you dislike, you watch movies you find boring, and over time you begin to appreciate them.
i bet a million you both have awful fucking taste.

I'll second this. Cake's B Sides and Rarities is underrated. Their cover of Barry White is pretty good. Also Nouvelle Vague doing Bossa Nova covers of 80's punk and pop is fun.

Elephunk by the black eye peas is a legit great album

Yellow loveless is another amazing example

Music can't be good or bad, it can fit the taste or not
Genres are autistic
Subgenres are totally garbage and arbitrary
Spoken word/10 minutes of white noise is awful and people who like it are just pretending

You're clearly looking for an opportunity to be nasty rather than have an actual discussion. You make a semi valid point before the needless insult, but the trouble is, unless you dedicate your life to nothing other than an endless pursuit of the perfect taste, sometimes you just want to listen to songs you like. You can still listen to good or bad singles, at the end of the day they are made at the discretion of either a band member or a record company's executive personal taste and how successful they think it will be, and they can either be on the mark or off it. They're often taken off an album.

I'm not clear on whether you're solely advocating only listening to albums in their intended order because its not a simple case of being an album listener or a single listener, there are many other formats you can appreciate music in. What about music written before the traditional album format, for example?

When an album drops, i'll listen to it fully, and probably the for the last time.

But I'll listen to an album fully if its short and thematic, like x's 17 or revenge, or some of ghostemane's small EPs.

I love the strokes and wish there more garage bands like them. all the other copies suck dick besides the Arctic monkeys

>perfect taste
it's not about perfect taste, it's about varied taste.
i'm not talking about following artists yet, although i think that's important too. i'm talking about challenging yourself.
to learn to like a song is important. if all you do is listen to what sounds good on the first listen, you're NOT seeking out what's 'good', you're seeking out what's easy and conventional. there's no avoiding that.
every single song that's on the radio sounds the same, every single picks out the most conventional song on the album. it's a method to gain monistic, shit taste.

it's about being willing to go on a journey. when you follow an artist, you're with them through experimentation, deviation, challenging and easy times.
i don't listen to music just to have a good time. it's about self-betterment, it's about exploration, finding out i was wrong or thinking about something in a different way.
this framing of 'good or bad' songs is perverse.

>insult
this is important, and if i think you're making a mockery of art, i'll say so.

Do you like the White Stripes?

Nirvana blow away all of their competition and are easily at least the best mainstream band of the 1990’s, if not the best band of the 90’s period. They would still be even if they weren’t popular.

I know that Davis arranged and heavily edited the tracks on Bitches' Brew but it just flies past my head. I've never really heard any kind of solid arrangement except for maybe Go Ahead John, but even then, it's very loose.
I just don't get it.

Same honestly. People just like to be contrarians and pretend that they're above everyone else here because they listen to some random band off bandcamp who only released their first album a few days ago. I can usually trust the majority of people on here's opinions when it comes to music though.

I don't see how that's an NPC opinion. Good lyrics can be enough for an album to make do with fairly simple music.

Now that I think about it, I guess the reason I don't like it is because the longform pieces (Pharaoh's Dance, Bitches Brew) are on an endless crescendo, but never get anywhere. I remember some guy described it as "the world's biggest airplane going down the world's longest runway, and never taking off."
