Which button Sup Forums?

Out of the two buttons with multiple albums. Pick the button with the albums you like the most. And see the other albums wiped out of existence.

Both simoultaniously.

red

Blue button. Don't be a pleb

That kills us all.

Right probably

red

blue

hate to throw away pet sounds and kid a though

Blue, I'd rather endtroducing and SAW than SILY and mhtrtc.

Blue, but fuck ITAOTS.

blue

>deleting a love supreme and the greatest "rock" album of all time (Faust)

not a chance
everything on the left is pretty bad anyway

Why put rock in quotes?

Red.

red, easy
its a shame to lose tago mago and pink moon though
miles davis has better stuff anyway

Red, no contest
Only because the only albums I've listened to in the pic are Blonde on Blonde, Pet Sounds, and ITAOTS

Red

Just switch Kid A and BoB for fucking Revolver and Bjork and I'm all blue.

Red button. Shame about putting SAW85-92 on the left side.

have you listened to it?

blue because illmatic

No

So blue?

Both, so maybe you fags will get a taste of your own instead of what you see on Sup Forums

Damn that's pretty hard. I'd be easier to choose between my parents. I'll go with blue though, only because I despise Faust.

I'd rather kill myself than choose The Beatles over Kid A, or Kind of Blue over any other jazz record. I like BoB, too.

Red (apologies to Nick Drake)

>I'd rather kill myself than choose The Beatles over Kid A
You should kill yourself for thinking Kid A is better than Revolver.

Oh boy here we go. NERD FIGHT! NERD FIGHT! NERD FIGHT!

Both albums are fucking shit.

There was a prompt like this the other day. In that thread, I said the same thing that I'll repeat now, because it applies equally well in this case.

You can build a case for pushing blue off of the over-riding importance of preserving just one song, alone: Tomorrow Never Knows. Nothing at right has the over-riding, mission-critical importance to modern music as that one single song. Nothing.

When I made the equivalent statement in the old thread, I had at least two anons go damn I hadn't thought of it that way, but now that you say it, you're actually right and you've changed my mind.

That said, the choice also becomes easier due to the presence of SAW, Endtroducing and OK Computer at left, as opposed to... Dylan? Kid A? Meh.

Red, though it would suck to lose Spiderland and Endtroducing.

i press red

good

The albums don't get erased from history user. It just disappears starting from the moment you choose. Your whole stoner logic thing doesn't work.

Also what you're saying is just false. One song doesn't change the music industry. That's not how art evolves aside from pop music. Circumstances, region, period in time, these are things that make music change.

If someone thought about a song, there's a good chance somebody less famous somewhere thought about something similar too. Kinda like when Dennis the Menace was created. Somehow, some guy at the other side of the globe had the same idea at the same time. We just process outside information. So if two humans process the same information at the same time, there's a good chance their result will be similar.

red

Red without a doubt, a lot of the albums in blue disappearing would have the chain reaction of many of my favourites never being made

Intellectually I get what you're saying. Basically you're rejecting the "great man" theory of history as it applies to modern music, songs, etc, because people think thoughts and think similar thoughts, esp. in similar cultures. History is a cumulative process, and other boring true statements like those.

This is reasonable, and yet it goes against the spirit of the prompt, which is for us to choose "the overall better choice", and have fun arguments like this.

Also you're as wrong as wrong can be about the importance of that one single song, in particular, to subsequent musical culture. You could of course argue that some other sacred-cow song would have taken its place. But it didn't, and that's the point.

The narrow way in which you want to say that the "albums are destroyed" also goes against the spirit, and even the (vague) letter of the prompt. You might argue that only the recordings themselves are totally destroyed, lost to history, and yet people remember how the tunes go, and so can reconstruct what was lost, albeit in cover versions and interpretations.

You could say that, but then in some very meaningful and substantive sense, /the songs have survived/, and so the /albums/ (insofar as they are collections of songs that people know how to reproduce in some meaningful way) have /also survived/, which contradicts the intent of the prompt. In this interpretation, it is much more interesting and appropriate (and can even be argued to conform to the letter of the prompt, since the intent of the prompt is vague on the exact point that we're arguing) to adopt the more "conventional" view about this type of prompt, as meaning that /the exact songs are voided out of people's heads/ with your choice/. If someone does the exact same song again eventaully, then this is purely an accident. At best and most realistically they would do a very similar variant, for the valid reasons that you pointed out above.

Red has Loveless, Kid A, MHTRTC, A Love Supreme

Blue has Revolver, SAW 85-92, Kind of Blue, Pink Moon

I'll pick Red.
>inb4 i missed albums
no, but I'll take Kate Bush as a bonus

Jesus Christ you really thought this through, huh? Also I don't know even know what's the story about the Tomorrow Never Knows. Can you explain why without quoting that P4K article? :)

Wipe both out of existence so this shitty board can die.

Still not picking it

Tomorrow never Knows combines multiple tropes which persist in modern music: drug culture (or at least, what can be heard on the surface as drug culture), playing with tape loops (which in turn entails the "backwards" musical snippets), and deep, brooding, repetitive drums which are familiar in hip hop sampling.

If all of this sounds boring and/or obvious to you, simply remember that it wasn't always thus in pop music. And a very large part of why these

As you've said, history is a cumulative process where people pick up on old memes, integrate those memes into their new memes, and so on and so forth. Well guess what. Music distribution was a lot more linear fifty years ago, and later beatles was what was on offer for pretty much everybody. No wonder then that these particular memes stuck (I am using this Sup Forums-speak in a neutral sense atm, not in a prejorative one), and that this one band, and certain tracks in particular, proved to be influential.

it is true that none of these (the tropes from the first paragraph) were done for the first time ever in this case, but they were all famously combined here, apotheosized (to use a ten dollar word) and inspired subsequent acts. In particular, The Chemical Brothers' career is based off of this one song. Manipulation of existing sound recordings in order to generate components of new sound recordings is quite huge in all this, and this song is simply a famous example incorporating the idea.

fixed it

*of why these tropes have stuck was the mainstream breakthrough of the beatles, among others. As it actually happened, not as it might theoretically have happened in their absence.

Blue easily

>The Smiths

eh, you could've put that on the red side

>Solo Violin Improv

what about it?

Why did no one pick it sooner then that's a win-win

why are you talking like Trump lmao
