Underage general?

here's your reply

Sorry, no niggers allowed

I love Arthur Russell as much as the next guy but I wouldn't say he's the best artist of all time

He's makes some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard and that's reason enough for me

and today it still sounds like it was made in the future despite already being decades old

Fuck outta here faggot

This guy is right. He was basically an acclaimed session musician who just happened to work on a few of his own projects before he died of AIDS. Sorry to go off at you, but I really hate the whole 'I like him so he must be the greatest' mentality that you and a lot of Sup Forums seems to have.

Radiohead is only good because of Jonny Greenwood though.

That's what all music is about you dunce. There is only subjectivity

Me

Brian Eno

It's like you haven't matured from an infantile state. Toddlers have trouble understanding that other people feel different than them and have different desires. Thinking some artist is the greatest just because you like them is stupid. This whole thread is pointless. Of course there is subjectivity, so maybe Arthur Russel can be your favorite musician, but to just automatically say he is the best ruffles my feathers.
Either way, this is a stupid thread. I also quite like Arthur Russel.

you should read a book about him or at the least watch his documentary and realise that he was much more than a session musician

Not enough to spell his name right, obviously

By your reckoning all music discussion or sharing of opinions is pointless

These people love their black and white photos.

this man

the only one

so good and pure

the only serious contendors here

I want to add jim morisson and frank zappa. We are talking about musical skill and creativity so wether you like it or not they are objectively top tier. Also the guys from can zach hill and/or kashikura takashi.

I genuinely think they are the best band within the realm of pop music ever
