Ответ для lil miss big boy

haptic notifs and phone in ass you know the rules

Ответ для lil miss big boy

only got yourself to blame right? also your take is wrong

This would get me doxxed if I posted it on 2008-era /mu/

Ответ для lil miss big boy

Purists, amirite, what can you do?

Ответ для lil miss big boy

Only during the daytime. At night when all the Euros took over and all the shitty American music nerds fell asleep /mu/ was peak.

Yoko is better than John

Ответ для Soggy Andrew

Oh fuck all the way off!!!

Ответ для Soggy Andrew

This take is so hot that it's not allowed to be imported to Iran or North Korea.

Ответ для Soggy Andrew

Oh hell ya now we're talkin

Ответ для Soggy Andrew

this is true tho

Ответ для Soggy Andrew

He'd have absolutely agreed.

Ответ для Soggy Andrew

Lmao hell yeah

Ответ для Soggy Andrew

I couldn't even think of a fake hot take to compete with this 😂

Ответ для Soggy Andrew

Anyone who hates Yoko Ono's music has never listened to Yoko Ono's music.

You're right though

The Chills are a better band than Pavement (and I really like Pavement) The Chills are also better than REM

Ответ для DeeBee

The RHCP have had 3 ideas in their whole career, the fast song, the slow song and the mid-paced song. Completely boring and generic. Without Flea's bass lines they'd by working on the bins, but his musicianship just raises them to mediocre from bloody awful.

Ответ для Andy Kingdon 🔶️

I feel that way about AC/DC, except they had two less ideas than RHCP

Purple Rain is the true story of how Prince lured Vanity away from Rick James.

INXS holds up.

Ответ для MeganC

NOT A HOT TAKE, Megan! Come join us on the jetty for some dancing.

Taylor Swift is just a little rich girl who gets to cosplay as a performer due to her rich daddy funding her career Her music is bland and anodyne, her lyrics sound like they were written by AI. It is mass appeal slop for the lowest common denominator

Ответ для Diogenes Dog

Also, and this is not really about music per se, just a side note. But she played her own music, at her own wedding How much of a malignant narcissist do you have to be to make the decision that of all the musical talent you have access to, you just want to hear yourself?

Ответ для Diogenes Dog

>to cosplay as a performer due to her rich daddy funding her career A rich parent can open for doors, but if that was all it took more people could do it. She clearly became successful due to her strong narrative song writing.

Ответ для malowski

And she’s such a feminist role model, showing women that if they have a rich daddy who can rig the entire system for you, you too can just settle for marrying a dude and selling this milquetoast genre of feminism Not to mention all the right wing podcasts she guests on now as well

Ответ для malowski

“Strong narrative songwriting” *writes song about her BF’s dick* Omg what a genre destroying genius

Mine is Alice In Chains was better than Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and STP….Dirt is the greatest Grunge album ever

Ответ для Jim Tatro

this is a good one in that it's just defensible enough for people to argue it forever

Ответ для Mojave Midnights

😂🤘🏻

Ответ для Jim Tatro

Screaming Trees were also underrated.

Ответ для Charlenerd

Mark Lanegan's solo stuff is gorgeous. Thanks for the reminder.

Ответ для Lance Manly

My favorite Lanegan story was about how when Screaming Trees was touring with Oasis, Liam Gallagher would trash talk him and he was like “I’d have more respect for this guy if he would talk to me like that when he wasn’t surrounded by his bodyguards.

Ответ для Charlenerd

Which leads me to a hot musical take. Oasis is extremely overrated.

Ответ для Charlenerd

Beyond!!

Ответ для Charlenerd

Is that a hot take? I thought Oasis sucking was the accepted wisdom

Ответ для Jeremy Osner

I dunno, a lot of people seem to like them.

Ответ для Charlenerd

sweet oblivion is a banger of an album

Ответ для Fewer Than Jake 🇵🇸🏴

Mine is that grunge sucks

Ответ для Charlenerd

and I keep forgetting them, too. dang.

Ответ для Jim Tatro

....and I could burn the building down.

Ответ для ewigeliberal

🔥

Ответ для Jim Tatro

You’re 100% correct. The harmonisation alone makes them far superior

Ответ для Jim Tatro

Easily true.

Ответ для Jim Tatro

Meanwhile, I kinda sidled past most of grunge and was over in the goofy kids’ corner, shouting, PEACHES COME FROM A CAN!

Ответ для Jim Tatro

honestly mine is that shoegaze was a better use of my time than grunge

Ответ для Jim Tatro

I thought this was the conventional take

Ответ для Jim Tatro

My personal preference is “10,” but Dirt is great as well. Sweet Oblivion (and Screaming Trees in general) are criminally underrated

Ответ для Jim Tatro

you're absolutely right. jar of flies saved me.

Ответ для Jim Tatro

Wholeheartedly agree.

Ответ для Jim Tatro

The ultimate greatest grunge album ever was Kyuss' "Blues For The Red Sun".

Ответ для BESSEMER SAINTS

To be honest I haven’t heard it🤘🏻

Ответ для Jim Tatro

With you on AIC, and Dirt is their best, but leaning Mad Season for best grunge record. Kinda six/half dozen because Above is all Layne.

Ответ для Jim Tatro
Ответ для Jim Tatro

Accurate

Ответ для Jim Tatro

My hot take is grunge isnt a genre. Nirvana was a punk/post-punk band, AIC Id just call hard rock or maybe even metal, same for STPs first album, with STP later transitioning into a mix of art and glam rock. Soundgarden Id say art or avant garde rock, Pearl Jam is arena rock.

Ответ для Jim Tatro

oooohhhhh the noise i just made. i was with you except for Soundgarden, but I might have to agree. Chris Cornell was the best grunge vocalist, imo, though only because Staley and Cantrell dueted to fight their stage fright.

Ответ для Jim Tatro

AIC are the only ones i ever feel like listening to out of that group. That has to mean something.

Ответ для Jim Tatro

In terms of peak grunge-era output, I'd only disagree in that Soundgarden is tied. Pearl Jam has had the long career, though, and I haven't kept up with it, but I have heard they've put out some really good records, so.

The solo in "Jungleland" is too long. *ducks, hides forever*

That’s correct though

The most accurate take of all time tbh.

St. Anger with a different drum sound is an amazing album. *related* Everything Metallica has put out post St. Anger is as good OR better than The Black Album.

Magical Mystery Tour is better than Let it Be.

Ответ для John Houser III

Let It Be... Naked is better than Let It Be.

Ответ для Jym Dyer 🚲

By a mile!

A hotter take is new order is the best band of the 80s which is mine

Ответ для stillbevens
Ответ для Michelle LaLonde

I’ll up the ante, it’s Toto. After IV, they were the house band and partial writers on Thriller.

Ответ для //John

Fair point—they’re great, but Prince is still better, even before you also add The Revolution.

Ответ для //John

Now we’re cooking with gas

Ответ для stillbevens

They weren't even the best band on Factory.

Paul McCartney without John Lennon would still have changed the face of music. John Lennon without Paul McCartney would not.

The Lord High Fixers were 20,000X better than the Big Boys.

I dunno about better or worse, but I sure do listen to New Order a lot more often, because I enjoy listening to New Order a lot more

Cyndi Lauper was wrong. Girls don't just want to have fun.

Ответ для Bumbles Bounce

Also, Patti Smith is hugely overrated.

Ответ для Bumbles Bounce

I like her Polaroids and her fondness for Vanessa Bell

We weren't allowed to say this in the 20th century

Cow bell. Any song can be enhanced with some cow bell.

Ответ для Grammer
Ответ для Grammer

Go-go music needs a widespread comeback

A song should be written by a maximum of two people (maybe three at the very most). Not ten songwriters like most songs today.

If you refuse to learn some concert etiquette you shouldn’t keep going to concerts and going for barricade

This has to be rage bait.

The only good blues song is "Flipper Blues" by Flipper.

This take was very hot in 1983.

Ответ для Mother of Kitties

Perfect song.

Ответ для S

I played that 45 off the back of a Super Sugar Crisp box

Ответ для Barbara NAFO

I had a record of ghost stories from the back of a honey combs box!

Ответ для caseyabrams

I cut Jackson 5 records off the Super Sugar Crisp boxes and played them on a Fisher Price record player.

Ответ для Mother of Kitties

Plus this guy is a stone fox, y’all!

Seconded

This is a really good take but Warsaw is better than both.

No nonclassical drummer is better than Jimmy Chamberlin.

Ответ для David Steuer

Brave but correct

nah dog shit take

Ответ для David Steuer

Chicago adjacent agreement.

Ответ для David Steuer
Neil Peart of Rush: Masterful DrummingAlt: Neil Ellwood Peart (September 12, 1952 – January 7, 2020) was the accomplice of Walter Melon. He had the power to bring people back to life by using "the drum solo of life". He is very small. He is based and voiced by the late Neil Peart of the band Rush.static.klipy.com

The Beatles aren’t terrible but they’re overrated

Ответ для Rubberband Girl

i don’t think you can say that the band that is widely considered the best band of all time and is known for changing the way music is is overrated, and i’m not even saying that because i’m a fan (as well as a former beatles hater)

Ответ для nathan

Paul McCartney was the most talented Beatle. He was carrying the entire group towards the end. Ringo Starr was too stoned, John Lennon had given up writing actual music for writing joke songs, and George Harrison had checked out mentally.

Ответ для emigre80

Paul’s legacy would have been much bigger than John’s if he would have been assassinated.

Ответ для Pooey Leroux

Yes, but Lennon would have spent a lifetime producing mediocre songs and McCartney has spent a lifetime making good music.

Ответ для emigre80

I feel a great loss that we never got to see what else Lennon would have created

Ответ для Barbara NAFO

I think he'd done as much as he was ever going to do.

Ответ для emigre80

We can differ

Ответ для Barbara NAFO

Hey here’s turf I can have an opinion on! McCartney is melodic but cloying, Lennon is clever but sloppy. Together they made up for each other’s weaknesses; that’s what made it work. Neither had much comparable work after the breakup. I’m sure they fought like alley cats but the result waa unmatched.

Ответ для Michael Tobis (mt)

The best post Beatles solo album is All Things Must Pass

Ответ для emigre80

Contrast Frog Chorus and Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time with A Working Class Hero Is Something To Be.

Ответ для timoconnorbl

Contrast Maggie May with Band on the Run. John Lennon produced a lot of dreck.

Ответ для emigre80

Both did, post-Beatles. That being rather my point.

Ответ для emigre80

Harrison was saving his stuff for his solo album!

Ответ для goethean

that as well as i think he felt so overshadowed by john and paul that he just kind of laid back and let them do the work. thankfully they were all able to come together in the end and do abbey road which showcases each beatles talents and skills perfectly

Ответ для emigre80

i think they were all very talented in their own ways but yes i agree that paul was the most talented in numerous different ways from songwriting to instrumentation. towards the end the other three kind of just wanted to fuck around but paul stayed determined which i think is beautiful

Ответ для nathan

Fair enough.

Ответ для nathan

Nice profile pic!

Ответ для Rubberband Girl

No, they were terrible.

Ответ для 🎸Paul🎹

you have posted three comments on this post alone talking about how much you hate the beatles. a little excessive to say the least. you’ll come around one day lol

Ответ для nathan

Not excessive enough I’d say. I’m middle aged, I’ve grown up hearing their trash music my whole life, and I will never like The Beatles.

Ответ для 🎸Paul🎹

i’ve also grown up hearing their “trash music” all my life and i hated it. now i love it. sounds like they’re not your taste. thankfully nobody’s forcing you to listen to them. have a nice day! :)

Ответ для Rubberband Girl

I appreciate a take from Siberia. Back in the USSR!

I agree with this take. Also George was the best Beatle & the Oasis/Blur rivalry was silly even then b/c anyone with proper taste knew Blur was the better band.

The Chromatics cover of "Into the Black" is better than the original.

Ringo and George are better musicians than Paul and the other one

Ответ для Diego (Oficial)

👆

The formation of Led Zeppelin is the exact point music took a wrong turn.

Blasphemy! The hell New Order is better than Joy Division. Fool! Go to hell, you louse!

The Duane Allman solos in Layla sound flat out terrible

Ответ для cbrumb
Ответ для cbrumb

Dicky Betts was way better than Duane.

Ответ для Flynn

I think even Duane Allman once said that in an interview.

By far

Outside of YHF (which is a perfect album), Wilco is an insanely overrated band.

Ответ для m҉a҉r҉i҉a҉n҉o҉🇲🇽🇵🇷

I think it's incredible how a band as mediocre as Wilco made a perfect album when there's almost no sign of this being a possibility on any of their other work.

Ответ для Courtside Karenina

It’s an auditory lightning in a bottle, the runners up don’t even come remotely close either. Every other year or so I try and give Summerteeth or Being There another shot from them to click with me to no avail. On a good day they’re 6/10 at best.

Ответ для m҉a҉r҉i҉a҉n҉o҉🇲🇽🇵🇷

Summerteeth has some good poetry on it but no actual songs I ever need to hear again. Everything after YHF is just best forgotten.

Ответ для Courtside Karenina

And even their perfect album is boring af. They ain't got shit.

Ответ для Courtside Karenina

Here's Luck and 10,000 Years by The Honeydogs actually are what people pretend Wilco is.

Ответ для m҉a҉r҉i҉a҉n҉o҉🇲🇽🇵🇷

Wilco is Taylor Swift for GenX white men with college degrees. Just absolute empty nothingness being upheld as genius.

Best song from either was the demo of Ceremony

Ответ для anthroposcenester

This is correct. Also, “Blue Monday” is terribly overrated.

The title track on this record is the finest 5 minutes of music ever recorded

Ответ для Marshall Julie

Coldest take on this entire thread.

Ответ для Marshall Julie
Ответ для Marshall Julie

As a sax player, this comment has fucked my mind up far too much. Piano player: *hanging on for dear life* JC: if he dies, he dies.

Ответ для //John

😆

Ответ для //John

Also have sympathy for every pianist who had to mimic Tommy Flanagan struggling to survive

Ответ для Marshall Julie

I caught Tommy Flanagan play at a club in Toronto in the early 1990s, and he made sure to play Giant Steps lol

Ответ для Marshall Julie

That’s a great shout. And I’m not sure I could argue against that. 👌

Wilco is very boring.

Ответ для patguy

'She Sells Sanctuary' is not the best song The Cult ever did.

Ответ для Emma Peel's Ass-Kicking Judo Chop

Correct take. Best album: Electric

Ответ для Paul Richwine

Don't let the 'Peace' fans hear you say that, it'll start an argument... 😆 Second hot take- they're never going to be as good as they were when Jamie Stewart was still in the band. They lost something when he left.

Ответ для Emma Peel's Ass-Kicking Judo Chop

Everyone knows that it's Love Removal Machine.

Ответ для Falstaff P. Flagler
Ответ для Emma Peel's Ass-Kicking Judo Chop

O.K. I hadn't heard the other version. Guitar sound is better, the bass part (missing the AC/DC, Cliff Williams style) is worse on the Peace remix.

Ответ для Falstaff P. Flagler

Agreed. And the Electric version of Wild Flower is FAR superior to the Peace version.

Ответ для Falstaff P. Flagler
Ответ для Emma Peel's Ass-Kicking Judo Chop

Although taken as a whole, the Love album is absolutely perfect

Ответ для Queen Bree of the Mount Things
Ответ для Emma Peel's Ass-Kicking Judo Chop

The ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baby in Peace Dog alone is better than she sell sanctuary

Ответ для Emma Peel's Ass-Kicking Judo Chop
Ответ для Emma Peel's Ass-Kicking Judo Chop

Peace Dog takes that spot. For a band with 70% of their lyrical content consisting of “baby baby baby!” and “yeah!” they did create some great music.

Ответ для ☭ 🔻Emergency Auxiliary Mao Ⓥ ☭

Indeed- they have/had some first class musicians. Even if you strip away the vocals, the songs still sound great and stand up on their own. 3rd and 4th hot takes- Zap City is their best song and Aphrodisiac Jacket is the best song on Electric. 😆

Ответ для Emma Peel's Ass-Kicking Judo Chop

Sonic Temple is their best album.

Ответ для Rep Richard Dangler

I think I'm going to have to agree with you on that one.

Ответ для Emma Peel's Ass-Kicking Judo Chop

One great band, three great chords.

Ответ для Rick Innis

New Order is certainly more fun to play at parties!

Every Bob Dylan song I’ve heard is a terrible load of twaddle.

this is just common knowledge

U2 gave everyone in the world their highly anticipated new album for FREE, which is COOL.

Raditude by Weezer is a good album

Ответ для Feather, Boy Cat

Holy shit we got a live one

Ответ для Feather, Boy Cat
Ответ для Feather, Boy Cat

...does this mean I need to give it a listen?

Ответ для Feather, Boy Cat

No, you need to heat up this take. "Raditude is their best album since their debut".

i do think i actually have one not a big beatles fan, but my favorite beatles song is the octopus's garden

Ответ для Ruggy

It does exactly what it sets out to do!

i always really liked New Order!

Ответ для Ruggy

They are excellent, I think Joy Division is better but it’s not something I feel the need to fight about

Thats just true, how is that hot

This does not sound like the hot take that will tear us apart.

billy woods is the best music lyricist of all time.(in my opinion off course).

Hardly alone with that one! Was just discussing with a friend& predictably he preferred New Order I got chewed out for thinking the opposite *at the time*. Answer: I like what I like and it might not make any sense. Nor do others’ taste to me. I have the best taste in music ever. For me.

Paul McCartney was the most talented Beatle. He was carrying the entire group towards the end. Ringo Starr was too stoned, John Lennon had given up writing actual music for writing joke songs, and George Harrison had checked out mentally.

Pink Floyd is the most overrated band to date.

Ответ для Butch Rosser

You’re too young to understand. Plus, the most overrated band is Radiohead followed by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Ответ для GB 🇨🇦

My brother in Christ, I'm damn near 50. And I said what I said.

Ответ для Butch Rosser

Still too young. Sorry.

Ответ для GB 🇨🇦

Can we throw Rush in here as well? Every time either comes on the radio (hi, I'm old), I change the station.

Ответ для Butch Rosser

and they're my husband's favorite band, so imagine the pain I suffer on a regular basis

Ответ для emigre80

They're my wife's favorite band, but she never plays them around me 🤷🏾‍♂️

Ответ для Butch Rosser

she's obviously more thoughtful than my husband

Ответ для Butch Rosser

Syd's material was fun, and 'One of these days' is an accidental masterstroke. But the rest? I loved 'Another Brick In The Wall' when I was two, which is, frankly, the ideal mental age to enjoy the vast bulk of their posh twat navel gazing.

Ответ для Butch Rosser

False. That is the Rolling Stones.

Ответ для Butch Rosser

Oasis has entered the chat.

U2 songs are only good if covered by another band/artist

Ответ для esbee2010

Probably true also of Coldplay.

I do not think they are in competition. Different categories

Motörhead's version of Sympathy for the Devil is one million times better than The Rolling Stones'.

The Damned don't get the respect they deserve for their music, their influence, their longevity, pioneering the sound that is now called Garage Punk and for releasing the first UK Punk single & album.

Ответ для Time Forgot You...

Their version of Help is the definitive version

Ответ для Time Forgot You...

Really weird that I was listening to New Rose as I read this.

Ответ для Omnes Omnibus

Gonna see them in October if I last that long, and they do.

Ответ для Tim Waits

I have tix for November and I’ll be fine if that’s it. The current lineup is bulletproof.

Ответ для Time Forgot You...

They’re still putting out records that have a respectable side and touring them even though nobody would fault them for retiring. Even that cover album they put out last year was pretty solid.

Ответ для Time Forgot You...

My hot take is that Strawberries is The Damned’s best album, by far.

Man I Feel Like A Woman is the worst song ever made. Admittedly this opinion might be due to the fact it played non, non, stop for months in the shop I worked at as a teen but I don't hate the other songs that happened with quite as much

'Wedding Cake Island' is Midnight Oil's best track.

Ответ для 📷 Grant Swinbourne

Jimmy Sharman’s Boxers!

Ответ для Dan Osher

Another good one, but I still lean to WCI

Love (for different incarnations of post-punk bands) will tear us apart

Bob Seger > Bob Dylan

Ответ для bmazing

I'll pray for you.

Ответ для bmazing

I think Seger gets way too little respect outside the Midwest.

Ответ для Michelle LaLonde

This took some getting used to after growing up in Michigan. "You've never heard 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald?!?!'"

Ответ для boyishman

(Also)

Ответ для boyishman

That song is great. I was born in Traverse City and every time we drove by lake michigan I was scared thinking about that song.

Ответ для Michelle LaLonde

I’ve always been fine with Bob Seger, I’m a Midwesterner, not a FAN but always liked him fine enough. Now I listen to the songs and just get lost in them because the band and arrangements are phenomenal and I regret never seeing them live

Ответ для Jane Burns

A few years ago, I was watching a documentary on Muscle Shoals & they asked the folks there who the most talented musician they’d worked with over the studio’s existence. Couldn’t believe they said Seger, given the absolute legends that recorded there (in part b/c I hadn’t known that he did!)

Ответ для Michelle LaLonde

Oh wow!

Ответ для Michelle LaLonde

He definitely does not suck. I'm from Michigan and his stuff was everywhere when I was a kid.

Every Beatles cover by a Black artist is better than the original

Ответ для bmazing

This is straightforwardly true. Most Beatles covers by anybody are better than the original.

Ответ для Kathryne
Ответ для Kathryne

These 2 were pretty much the hot take I would make.

Ответ для Kathryne

I like the versions from I Am Sam better than any original.

Ответ для bmazing

That’s because The Beatles were objectively bad musicians who were simply in the right place at the right time.

Every karaoke club and piano bar has someone singing "Faithfully," which was written by Trump's spiritual advisor's husband to express his endless devotion to the woman he was married to two wives ago.

Ответ для johncool

I love this take.

The first half of Momentary Lapse Of Reason paired with #RogerWaters' music and score for When The Wind Blows is the last great imaginary #PinkFloyd album.

Led Zeppelin is mostly just embarrassingly bad

AGREED

Hey, that’s my take! And it’s 100% true.

About 10% of The Manic Street Preachers output is good, the rest is bang average

Revolver is better than Sergent Pepper.

the Grateful Dead are the best country band of all time

Ответ для AgentCooper

I like the song ‘ Rain and Snow ‘ Is that one of theirs?

Sad to say I agree <ducks for cover>

I hate their "signature song" with the power of 1000 suns. But like a lot of their other work

Ответ для ChaoticSequence

I like “Mountain Song” a lot, and “Had a Dad” and “Ted, Just Admit It” are worth a listen, but I’ve never found any other songs in their catalog that aren’t overwhelmed by Perry Farrell’s sheer Muppetude.

Ответ для TRANNY ▶ FOR YOU ◀

To me it's all about Steve Perkins banging on those cans. Without him the muppetude would have been 10x worse

I don’t get Prince. I just don’t understand the adoration. He’s fine, I have nothing against him, I just don’t see it.

Musically, Obama has better musicians in his corner than trump does.

Ответ для Disco cowboy

Well that is not saying a lot bc only the worst musicians ever like Trump

Ответ для Rachael the Spicy Hobbit

So true.

Ответ для Disco cowboy

Basically trump has kid rock, van Morrison and Eric’s wife. Obama has the rest.

Ответ для Disco cowboy

not a hot take. He has better EVERYBODY😄.

Getting bit by a mosquito is better than listening to country music.

Ответ для Disco cowboy

My hot take is people who hate country music are NPCs without original music taste. There are so many incredible country music artists that when I hear this take all I can think is you got your music opinions from an internet post and have never actually listened to country

Ответ для Freda Foto

You don't live in Nashville, do you?

Ответ для lesleyest

“ Each evening at sundown in Nashville they sweep broken dreams off the street “

Ответ для Freda Foto

Some talented artists do not equal a good genre. Every genre has its standouts, whether you like that style of music or not. I’ve played in country bands that cover the entire spectrum, from old-timey, crying-in-your-beer country to modern, rock-and-roll-ish country. I still don’t care for it.

Ответ для Freda Foto

I grew up in a farm town and it was on everywhere I went. It’s a fact that the genre is horrible. We need bad things to appreciate good things.

Ответ для Disco cowboy

No it isn’t

Ответ для Paul Sherratt

I’m sorry. You are wrong.

Ответ для Disco cowboy

Did Wayne Hancock* get played in Farm Town? * One of hundreds I could list 😊

Ответ для Paul Sherratt

I’m just being silly of course. I am not sure. I heard country wherever I went. Don’t know the artists. I listened to golden oldies and rap back then.

Ответ для Freda Foto

1000%. I love the NPC framing. Country 1930-1982 is almost universally great.

I do not enjoy country music with a few notable exceptions. My family took long car trips when I was younger and all my father played was country music. I just can’t.

Ответ для jamiewriteshorror

What are those exceptions, out of curiosity?

Ответ для Paul Sherratt

Johnny Cash Dolly Parton ( mostly I just like and respect her but I like a few songs ) I can’t really think of others

Ответ для jamiewriteshorror

Being trapped anywhere with someone else’s choice of music is not often a good thing 😱 My first exposure to the genre was by seeing Peter Bogdanovich’s ‘The Last Picture Show’ on the big screen where various startling songs came out of radios during the film An eye and ear opener for a UK teen

Ответ для Paul Sherratt

Very true. I’m happy for others to enjoy whatever music they like/love. It’s just not for me. 😊

Ответ для jamiewriteshorror

Ответ для nathan

Because The Beatles basically don't own the rights to any of their own songs, I would guess. Michael Jackson bought them out. But yeah, Oasis are just a school garage band and never progressed beyond being the world's lairiest Beatles tribute act

Ответ для Tony Slattery's Rambling Club

as of now paul and sony own the publishing rights and apple records (owned by the two remaining beatles and the wives of the beatles that have passed) own the rights to use the beatles music in film or television so i’m not sure that would give oasis the right to plagiarize the song? i may be wrong

Ответ для nathan

I wasn't thinking that Oasis would have a right to plagiarise the song as much as the Beatles wouldn't have standing to sue without the rights and the people who do own the rights might not be arsed. George's songs were owned by Harrisongs, which is owned by Concord Music, whoever they are

Ответ для Tony Slattery's Rambling Club

Harrison was famously furious about some American politician, I want to say Bob Dole, using Taxman as a campaign song but couldn't do anything about it because he no longer owned it

My hottest take about this hot take is that bands are plural, so you should have said “Oasis suck” (The use of singular vs plural for bands/sports teams is the biggest tell that a person is American) * Oasis don’t suck but they are very overrrated

Geez. Good question. There’s a few really good tracks on each album. I’d just pick one actually. No clear fave cause they’re all really good. I’ll check out the kinks.

Ответ для Disco cowboy

I think with The Kinks you should start with first record for garage-y stuff, then Something Else thru Muswell Hillbillies for the slice of life craftsmanship stuff. They had an incredible run from like 67-71. And there's a singles collection called Kinks Kontroversy that is really good.

I'm allergic to the idea that rush and steely dan are only good because they were good musicians. sd is groove music, just like Bobby Blue Bland or Aretha. And they were great writers. It's notes per minute music like technical metal you have to watch out for. Fast does not equal good.

Steve Ignorant of Crass was the first rapper.

Honestly most of mine would make me sound like an angry old man. Ever since grunge broke a lot of rock bands have shitty singers and that’s not ok. There was a time where you couldn’t be a frontman if you could sing and I think we should return. Weird voices are fantastic but out of tune rarely is.

Ответ для Elana Levin

Lots of singers doing really dull vocal lines. Too few rock bands have vocal harmonies (I guess if you can’t even find one person to sing it’s even harder to find two. Trade secret: a fuck ton of women can sing but a lot of guys find it emasculating to have a woman in their band booo hoo).

Ответ для Elana Levin

Or if you’re singing isn’t great, at least get your phrasing sorted. Buzzcock’s Pete Shelley isn’t the greatest singer, but his phrasing is immaculate. Ian MacKaye too.

Ответ для Badass Jfro

Yes, those are good examples. They definitely put a lot of thought into what they’re doing.

Ответ для Badass Jfro

Here's a hot take: I've always liked Steve Diggle's vocals better than Shelley's. And Howard Devoto was the best Buzzcocks vocalist, but that might not be as shocking of an admission.

Ответ для A Zucker for Art
Ответ для Badass Jfro

I mean, Diggle is basically what happens when you smoke for half a century (or more!) and pick up a mic, which is perfect for a punk band imo. Yes, Shelley was the bard for sure. But "Harmony in my Head" is a top 5 Buzzcocks tune for moi!

Ответ для Badass Jfro

That gem is back to back with Shelley's "Telephone Operator" on one of my playlists of songs all about phones

Ответ для Elana Levin

I don’t disagree in principle as far as a lot of rock bands having shitty boring singers as compared to the old days, but I wouldn’t put grunge as the inflection point given the success of Chris Cornell and Layne Staley, among others

Ответ для Spicy Big Dad

After I said. Those two are great but all these others tried to sound like veder and failed or just bellow stuff

Ответ для Elana Levin

Ah sorry, I thought you meant “after grunge broke through to the mainstream” rather than after it stopped being popular! Then yes, a completely correct take!

Ответ для Elana Levin

I swear I think this problem got exasperated with the singing competition reality shows of the late 2000s. After they started, all bands on the radio had these polished voices which was just awful to listen to.

Led Zeppelin destroyed music and western civilisation

Ответ для TheCodeBlackDirective

No l meant it. Plant has impressive pipes but: LZ abandoned polyrhythm and rhythm generally, and any meaning in lyrics. Focused almost exclusively on sonics. Dulled and slowed drum beats (antithesis to jazz). Maximised excess. Stole most of their songs

Публикация скрыта фильтром безопасности.
Ответ для Jack Craw

A distinctive set of guitar and drumbeat sounds alongside RP's vocal range ('used an instrument'), that brought them heavy success. In the recording studio and live. Experimentalism that worked. "Stole most" is hyperbole. Crediting should have happened in the specific blues songs involved, sure.

Ответ для TheCodeBlackDirective

Success is no measure of quality. Yes they were very good at what they did, and the first to do it, which is why l blame them for ending any pretense rock music had for relevance. It was tasteless excessive pigshit to my ears.

Ответ для Jack Craw

That is subjective and your opinion. 🤷🏾‍♂️ I disagree. I mean they were doing their own thing, y'know, and seeing how it worked. Like some other bands were at the time. I mean I might think some of the stuff you like is pigsh*t?

Ответ для TheCodeBlackDirective

Of course it's my opinion. In my defence l believe it depends on what you think their considerable influence led to. IMO they were the first talented rock band that made meaningless clever noises

Brad Delp was at least as good as Freddie Mercury. (Yes, Freddie Mercury was very good, but Brad just doesn’t get credit for how good he was.)

Ответ для TankFu (Gamer)

Boston is very good, but they aren’t Queen.

Ответ для TankFu (Gamer)

Counterpoint: Boston sucks ass. Every single note grates. Vocals and guitar sound like two tomcats yeowling in the middle of the night.

Ответ для Phasmatic

And that’s why no one respects your opinion

There is a kind of style of rock vocals that makes the lead singer sound like they're singing with their jaws wired shut, and it's insufferable It's what binds together the lead singers of Pearl Jam, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Creed

Ответ для Dale Chapman

Ah, you mean yarling. I'm willing to give Vedder a pass because Ten and Vs are absolute classics.

Ответ для ThomWithAnAitch

Yes, Vedder I can tolerate But you absolutely do not have to hand it to either Creed or Hootie and the Blowfish lol

Ответ для Dale Chapman

Creed can get in the sea, but I do have a soft spot for the first Hootie album (what can I say, I was an impressionable age)

Dammit, that's mine, too

The Monkees have better songs than the Beatles

I actually like daydream believer more than any beetles song

Son Volt is the better half of Uncle Tupelo

Ответ для David Ham

I'd agree the first two SV albums beat A.M. but after that Wilco rips its up and SV kinda sputters out.

Ответ для David Ham

Hell yeah.

Ответ для David Ham

Uncle Tupelo is underrated and better than Wilco.

The Velvet Underground of alt-country!

Old And In The Way's "Wild Horses" gives the original a run for its money, too

Mick Jagger praised the Devo cover!

Ska covers are almost always better than the original.

Nah, that track is fantastic and it's hard to top it.

Ответ для Big Fat Daddy

There was a guy on my hall in college (2001-2005) who would get so mad when I played the Mustard Plug cover of “The Freshman” by the Verve. Like, genuinely, frustratedly upset by it. But the original is so painfully self-serious.

We have a winner folks

Ответ для Big Fat Daddy

Chicken dinner, y'all!

I share this opinion.

Yeah, definitely the early stuff. I picked up Low-Life the week it came out but only bought Brotherhood after they were all over the used bins in the early 90s

Bon Jovi is country music for people from New Jersey. I’m not talking about “Wanted Dead or Alive” I mean the rest of it.

Ответ для Something Clever Pending

I don't know if I'd have thought that until I heard "Who Says You Can't Go Home"

Ответ для Jessica Cheeri

Their "lost highway" album is basically Bon Jovi trying and failing to cash in on their newfound country fame.

Ответ для Tim Gavin

Newfound at the time anyways...I know it's been a while since they put that album out.

Ответ для Something Clever Pending

We’re looking for hot takes.

Hating Journey is a sign of taking yourself too seriously.

Ответ для boyishman

Or of taking drivers ed in the 80s with a hair farmer who refused to let the instructor play anything else. Some trauma lingers.

You’re right and you should say it.

Hot take: go talk to musicians, people who make music, and talk to the best ones. They love music of all genres including corny commercial stuff. So better than this arguments are juvenile. Be accepting and know that music is wonderful and reaches different people in different ways.

Ответ для Benwest500

Oh im just pissing in the wind here. This was a joke for my followers, I didn't expect it to get big. They all know I'm a New Order nerd. Buuuuut the replies have been funny so I'm keeping this post up.

Ответ для lil miss big boy

funny, i always wanted to write the post that I just wrote. I get so tired of my band is cooler than your band discourse. It always amazes me that people wouldn't be the most interested in what musicians think

Ответ для Benwest500

Sometimes you wind up a little mechanical toy car and you're hoping to see it spin around on the table, and like making posts sometimes that minature car hits the ground and goes straight out the door and then i hear it somehow reached Ohio and I dont know what to do about that.

Ответ для lil miss big boy

This thread got on my timeline only today, so it appears the little miniature car is still going, and is well past Ohio now. xD

Ответ для Benwest500

Agree! I don’t believe in “better” or “best” when it comes to music as it’s an art form for me. I try not to buy into that. I just have favourites, or music I prefer. But it’s fun to read different takes on threads like this. 🙂

Ответ для Benwest500

Like *Depeche Mode^ being a huge influence on *ZZTop’s* sound for Eliminator.

Surely this is the coldest take of all time.

Hmmm 🤔

Single for single, Depeche Mode are consistently better than New Order.

Ответ для Rob Lapier

I mean, it's not even close. And that's before you dive into the breadth of the Depeche Mode catalog

Ответ для pornofoleyartist

I bought their respective singles compilations and the amount of weak songs on the New Order one was unexpected ie "State of the Nation"

Ответ для Rob Lapier

Depending on what you like about Depeche Mode you might be interested in Elegant Machinery. Like a lot of electronic bands influenced by Depeche Mode they've had a lot of variety in their sound over the years. youtu.be/y3jlJ6t2q8w?...

Indeed. New Order is like a roast beef sandwich from Jersey Mikes, tasty and satisfying, yet nowhere near the choice 30 ounce Ribeye steak plate that Depeche Mode are serving up.

Ответ для OtakuNoRico 🇺🇦🇵🇸

The sad part is that when in my teens and twenties I was a huge NO fan and saw them many times. This was a revelation that my nostalgic favorite band wasn't as good as I remembered.

It's punk when it kind of sucks. It's post punk when it's good.

Ответ для yeehawgandalf

What kind of post-punk, funky, Gang of Four post-punk, proto-goth Echo and the Bunnymen post-punk, artsy US Mission of Burma/early Devo post-punk? Post-punk covers at least four distinct genres, and that's just the early stuff.

Ответ для Faustbot

post punk Did something happen to punk? Oh wait, life did. 🙃

Ответ для ewigeliberal

Nah. So many things are punk.

Ответ для laurelstan

(there is of course more than a germ of truth in that post) I love these threads. nothing personal...

Ответ для ewigeliberal

It’s all personal, as far as taste goes. I personally hate almost everything. Just that picky. And can’t really understand categorizing music. At all. I also don’t give a crap what others like except when it’s imposed on me. So not personal at all.

Ответ для laurelstan

"you're beautiful..."

Ответ для ewigeliberal

A friend and I at work rated things “punk” or “not punk” a few years ago. But only if they weren’t music or anything to do with the real punk scene.

Ответ для laurelstan

that might have been an amusing exercise. examples? 😁

Ответ для ewigeliberal

I wish I remember! Going to see that friend tomorrow - she has a steel trap in there but also brain cancer so who knows. Different movie, different crew there was a year-long Geek or Asshole board. After the ~1 year project I won asshole by a long shot. (Really it was wit.)

Ответ для laurelstan

"she has a steel trap in there but also brain cancer" 😔 I am very sorry to hear this, obviously you're referring to a life long or long time friend. Without sounding glib, or ignorant, what is her prognosis?

Ответ для ewigeliberal

It will end her eventually, but she's gotten an extra 5 years so far w/ targeted therapies. She found out she had stage 4 lung cancer that went to her brain, but only when brain symptoms showed up. (No never smoked) (So it's not really brain cancer, it's lung cancer in her brain.)

Ответ для Faustbot

I tend to find most music that gets the post-punk label is at least slightly on my wavelength, and "pure punk" never quite works for me. Of those, Echo and the Bunnymen is most in my wheelhouse. My taste definitely leans goth and new wave.

Ответ для yeehawgandalf

I'm with you on pure punk. Punk rock is a vodka genre: there are a handful of examples good enough to enjoy straight, but it really shines when mixed.

Ответ для Faustbot

You know what? That's it. Well put.

Ответ для Faustbot

Revisiting Gang of Four a lot lately. They still sound so raw and fresh.

Ответ для yeehawgandalf

The Sex Pistols "Who killed Bambi" (original album version) is the answer to : "What's worse than waterboarding?"

Ответ для yeehawgandalf

Stiff Little Fingers were bloody good

Ответ для yeehawgandalf

London Calling and Sandinista! are post-punk albums.

Ответ для yeehawgandalf

I think this is close to accurate, but stuff like The Damned, The Clash, and X are legit good while still firmly being punk, in my mind.

New Order was a mid electronic band. Not a single thing New Order released was within miles of She's Lost Control.

Ответ для pornofoleyartist

That’s not my fave JD track but I don’t think NO can hold a candle to them. The earlier stuff New Order did was pretty good; Movement is an excellent LP. They fall apart though when Bernard starts to sing. 🙉

Timing prevented the Descendents from being Green Day.

This is going to be both a "fucking fight me" take and also one that about a grand total of ten people will understand

Highly technical playing and great musicianship is actually fucking awesome, and more authentic than "three chords and the truth".

Ответ для Tim Gavin

Tell me you’re a Rush fan without…

The Velvet would have been better if Lou Reed quit instead of John Cale. Nico and Mo Tucker singing with Sterling Morrison and John Cale trading instruments would have altered reality

Yes but then we wouldn't have Paris 1919

Mo’s cover of pale blue eyes is solid support for this hypothesis

Ответ для Ed Overbeek

After Hours and I'm Sticking With You helped inspire multiple indie subgenres in the 80's and 90's.

In retrospect, it’s pretty clear which cylinder wasn’t firing

Oh no...not a "hot take" thread.

By far the best motley Crue song, hooligans holiday, came off the album without Vince Neil...

That is a objective truth
