An Infinite Number Of Things That Pisses Me Off About Music

God i hate it when people claim "modern music sucks"
its such a cop out...you're not digging deep enough theres plenty of brilliance out there in between the ****
 
Nothing beats Ash Ra Tempel's S/T release when it comes to Krautrock/Psychedelic/Space rock. Not even Can or Amon Duul comes close for me. It's just two tracks with a total time of 45 mins.
Ocean by Eloy is also an awesome space-rock album. If there's something that could easily define space-rock, it's this!(ok fine, there are many others too, but this one stanRAB out for me)

I agree with the "psychedelic" tag though...too many of those around now-a-days but rarely what I'm looking for.
 
Same for me. I try not to jump on anyones taste in music unless I feel they have no respect for other peoples taste and thus I don't respect theirs.

I'm surrounded by people who love country pop, hair metal and post grunge. Including my mother. If people start playing music I hate, I leave the room. If we're in a car together and it's a long trip, then it's a different story. But more often than not I just try to endure it. There's few people I know personally that share a lot of my tastes, but I try not to be a jerk to anyone about it.

Unless they call me a f*g for liking Bjork and then an obligatory "f*ck you, you like Hinder" is in order.



Holy f*cking sh*t yes.
 
That seems like a non sequitur to me. It seems like you're addressing a completely different question. If the question is "How easy was it to find good current music during the 1980s?" then yes, the 1980s might lag behind other decades due to much of the best music being non-mainstream and no ability to use the Internet to discover music.

But, to me, that isn't the question at hand. The question at hand is "Did the '80s produce less good/great music than other decades?" In evaluating that question, it's perfectly reasonable to look back and apply modern understanding. Whether or not that music was readily available to most people at the time (some of it was, some of it wasn't), it was all produced then and is readily available to us today. As far as the '80s contribution to our current pool of music, there was a tremendous one.

109 : BanRAB That Insist On Calling Songs 'Untitled', Especially Ones Who Make A Whole Album Of 'Untitled' Songs​

It's not clever, it's not original. in fact it's just fucking annoying and unnecessary. It's been done to death, you are not showing your artistic side.

And if you're one of these banRAB who say 'Well actually we wanted the music to speak for itself, we felt giving the song a title took away something and that the listener should make their own interpretations of the songs' quite frankly this makes you nothing more than a pretentious art school drop out wannabe cock and you deserve to die.
 
Well sadly this is probably as close to a fair un-trollish rebuttal I'll ever get from you.

I really think cover art should reflect the music and not the lyrics, and At The Drive In sure as bloody hell don't SOUND like Dali. And no you're wrong, people shouldn't be careless about their cover art, presentation is very damn important and you don't want to make something that is misleading to your audience. That's my own personal philosophy, if you don't like it thats fine, but I'm not taking unwarranted insults for sh*t like that, so stop being unnecessarly aggressive or I'm giving you an infraction.
 
Oh shit, I forgot about Portishead! I bought 3 the other day, and it's amazing.

The thing about Portishead and Radiohead is though, they've been around for almost 20 years. As far as newer british banRAB there's close to nothing.
 
I think RATM sounded a lot better when they were new—they were at least somewhat unique sounding in the musical lanRABcape of the early 90s. Unfortunately, they inspired so many shitty banRAB that now it's hard not to look back and see them as part of the shittiness instead of something that came before it.
 
I that's their biggest problem, they play the same two songs from an album over and over until it makes your head explode. I wish they would at least play some stuff you've never heard before in between the top ten commercialized garbage songs of the week.
