If Hitler was alive today, what would his favorite non-classical album be?
Brandon Evans
David Cooper
The Smiths, The Cure, Depeche Mode
He was a sensitive man after all
Owen Sanders
Radiohead, because he was a jerk, like all the people who praise that stupid shit band
Adam Lopez
If Hitler was alive today he'd rail against popular music as being degenerate trash. Nico was way too much of a degenerate, even if she did have some racist opinions. She wouldn't be seen as ideologically pure enough.
Gavin Nelson
I want him back from the dead just to see him be appalled by neo-nazi metal
Tyler Richardson
Why would he like that album?
Ryder Torres
He would be a snob about music similar to Scaruffi, only enjoying popular music devoid of Judaic and Negro elements, usually German, such as krautrock, progressive electronic, and some art pop like Nico.
Grayson Hall
Nico was German and anti-semitic

Hitler's music tastes would probably look closer to Stalin and most other authoritarians. If you're loyal to the party/it's ideals and expressing a sentiment deemed useful/ideologically agreeable to the state in a realist/easily accessible style, then you're approved of.
Nico was heavily involved in the very progressive, drug addled New York art scene of the 1960s. She owes her career to Andy Warhol whose whole shtick was the celebration of American pop culture.
She featured on songs about drug use and on an album that featured lyrics about BDSM. She herself was a heroin addict.
Krautrock artists like Can and Faust had pretty anti-war and liberal lyrics at times. I guess you could make an argument for less political acts like Kraftwerk and Neu! tho. Especially seeing as Kraftwerk could be pointed to as encouraging the celebration of newly developing technologies/infrastructure and ergo work the state is funding.
A problem all of these artists have (and it's shared with Nico and all progressive electronics) they were also often too obtuse to be popular/useful.
Realistically, Hitler was in his time only ever really interested in Germanic classical music and music he couldn't use to make people proud of their Germanic traditions and heritage probably wouldn't be of much interest to him. He'd have no use for it.
Dylan Wilson
I don't think he'd like Can or Faust, I was thinking along the lines of Cluster, Harmonia, and Tangerine Dream.
Hitler was a progressive and fascism came from the futurist movement.

As far as Nico's degeneracy goes, I think he'd appreciate her as a tragic figure.

scaruffi is a nazi now I guess.
despite the reviews of Kraftwerk and Beatles, accusing them both of whitewashing their respective genres, and replacing blacks.

This actually does seem like something Hitler would like wtf

This is true in the sense that Nazi Germany was pro-celebrating industrialization but most modern art and music wasn't approved of:
en.wikipedia.org
They hated jazz (the root of all popular music at the time) because it was black. This likely would have extended to rock which was also developed by black artists, He also didn't approve of any music that wasn't conventional. Innovators like Stockhausen who was nessecary to the creation of krautrock wouldn't have flourished in this environment. Not that he would have wanted to, his mother was gassed for being a "useless eater".
Asher Long
Scruffy was always a racist, check out some of his reggae reviews where he calls black reggae musicians 'happy dancing niggers'.
Christopher Walker
They hated it because it was black, not because it was unconventional. Hitler liked Beethoven, are you going to argue that Beethoven is conventional?

Sebastian Wood
Scaruffi is unintentionally racist. He only likes satirical and cynical subversions of lusty Negro attitudes
Oliver Garcia
U2 - War
Benjamin Walker
Some Sonata Arctica album
Austin Long

Asher Cox
Beethoven was convention by the 1940s. That's why he's considered important, from the time of his death his music dictated the progression of classical music for the next century and became standard. I'll argue Stockhausen, Varese and anyone styalitsically post Wagner was too unconventional for Hitler though. And Wagner only gets to be the benchmark because he was also a Nazi. There's two reasons you got banned in Nazi Germany: you were considered racially impure or you weren't traditional enough.
en.wikipedia.org
Racial purity and adherence to/reverence for classical German traditions in contrast got you put in the good boy exhibition.
