It’s a pretty good indicator of the sad shape rock ‘n’ roll was in during the early 2000s that a bunch of trust fund cokeheads dressed up like the Ramones and people thought that somehow made them interesting.

the early 2000s in general were shit

This is one of those bands where you stop doing psychedelics and immediately disavow having ever enjoyed them. They are this generation’s Phish.

Agree even if OP is pasta. Strokes for some reason are considered among the pinnacle or the pinnacle of 2000s rock and it's just crap. Every song, like the Ramones, sounds the same, and not in a good way.

Considering how many good rock records came out that decade I'm always flustered to see this at or near the top of lists.

The sonic equivalent to a fedora.

Overdramatic, coked-out buffoon who could barely hit a note and whose career would have exploded in a flash of bad ideas in the mid-70s if he hadn’t hitched his wagon to Brian Eno.

>dressed up like the ramones

Fuck that explains a lot

If you wanna bum people out, play the intro to “Straight to Hell” and watch their disappointment as they realize it’s not the M.I.A. song. That’s right, M.I.A. managed to make a more popular song than the Clash. Thank God someone paid to fix Joe Strummer’s teeth or this would’ve just been another unmarketable British band.

This band just made music about crying, which makes sense considering their lead singer looks like a fat, wet baby.

Are they going to get funny at some point or should I just not bother checking back?

These guys aren’t even punk. They’re just the band we have to thank for EDM.

I just don't understand how they were so successful. Honestly I must just be missing the cultural aspect of this music because I see indie rock being so well received yet I can't enjoy any of it, ANCO, nmh and jesus and the mary chain is the closest I'll ever get.
Anybody else feel this way? I feel like indie rock is just elevator music to me, at least in terms of it's impact.

Bob Dylan is possibly the most self-absorbed, self-mythologizing piece of shit to ever pick up a guitar. By writing inscrutable songs that pretend to elevate the byzantine dramas of his whiny, privileged life to some sort of self-construed poetry, Bob Dylan paved the way for our current vapid culture of appreciating personal expression over any form of talent. He couldn’t sing, he made a bunch of terrible gospel albums, and he sold out his core folk fan base and its laudable values of anti-commercialism by going electric. Although he was seen as a voice of change, he demonstrated himself to be selfish at every turn of his career. And worst of all, he has two first names.

Hey idiots, maybe stand farther away from your amps when you’re playing.

You know why Fugazi never charged more than $7 for a show? Because if they charged $8, no one would’ve come. The band of choice for Minor Threat fans who can’t do a push-up.

Dear Dad,

You need to stop sucking up our bandwidth downloading hour-long bootlegs of “Dark Star” while I’m trying to watch porn. You’re 58 now. Have you ever stopped to consider that Jerry Garcia has been dead for 20 years? I was an all-conference cross-country runner and you couldn’t even be bothered to show up to the awards banquet because you were smoking weed. I don’t love you anymore, and it’s all Jerry Garcia’s fault.

Love,
Your teenage son

This guy could only play one instrument.

Despite the fact that there are about two million Joy Division shirts out there, there are maybe two listenable Joy Division songs. That's a ratio of one million shirts per listenable song, which is a pretty terrible ratio. But hey, cool shirt, bro!

Modest Mouse is a cool R.E.M. cover band that was once sampled in a Lupe Fiasco song.

What has more brains than Kurt Cobain? The wall behind him.

It makes sense that the pinnacle of this band’s career was getting a song on the Fight Club soundtrack, given that both are just pseudo-intellectual bullshit for people who want to pretend to have indie cred.

Everyone hails Radiohead for being genius aliens from the future who are musical pioneers. Well if they’re such geniuses, why can’t they make listenable music? These limey nerds have been bleep blorp blooping away their career for 30 years now and still haven’t managed to make a decent song besides “Creep.”

No one likes Outkast because he turned rap into a fashion-oriented top 40 freakshow, abandoning the true lyricism that the genre was founded on in favor of following his own agenda about promoting Southern soul. This guy was indulgent enough to make a double album with two sides that didn’t even really fit together, and then he had the temerity to do a reunion tour where he just played festivals instead of catering to the real fans who have been with him since day one.

Dopey the Fuck-Clown is truly the voice of a generation of moody, self-indulgent depressives who probably should’ve played team sports in high school.

This is music for people who need to get the fuck over themselves made by a dude who really needs to get the fuck over himself.

There’s a strong correlation between this band’s name and the type of people who listen to their MC Escher butt rock. Hopefully it will be 10,000 more days before they release another album.

Responsible for the worst stadium song ever recorded and a two-person band in which both members look like the sex offender of the week on an especially dark SVU episode.

Grimes, Tame Impala, and Magnolia Electric Company won't get you laid, unless you are trying to fuck boring middle class white college chicks that post pictures of themselves doing yoga on a cliff on their study abroad, in which case you still won't get laid, but you might have to throw down on their Valtrex prescription.

The group for every dude that wants to fuck Riff Raff, and is too fucking gay to admit it.

This guy is one shade of whine away from being Bright Eyes.

Truly I tell you, you are but a single stick individually, and together, you make a mighty faggot.

Well duh, but in any post did I say anything inaccurate?

Animal Collective has yet once again proven that blind experimentation leads little results; Or how to write an electronic folk album while half assing both aspects. This music should have stayed in the shitty forest it stumbled out of.

This is what the body-positive alternaqueer mullet whalekin you met on OKCupid or in your freshman sociology class imagines herself as when you're fucking her. It's also how you're imagining her when you're fucking her. You both have your eyes closed, and you both listen to fucking garbage.

I'd record everything on Garageband, too, if I spent all of my money on heroin.

If SALEM discovered cat-eye makeup and decided to be a pop band.

who was in the wrong in this interview?

Nobody wants to read your shitty blog posts.

1) Why would anybody care for your (contrarian) opinion?
2) What do you hope to achieve?
3) Sup Forums is not your blog
4) most of these are terrible criticisms ( if you need to attack an artist's audience to critique the band, your opinion is meaningless).

you cared enough to respond, lol fag

and sheeit man i wasn't blogging but you read it anyway

gb2pitchfork

Savage but accurate lmfao

fun story time: brooklyn btwn 2007ish and 2012-ish was poon heaven. you had all these fine ass bitches that all moved to NY that were on some bndwagoner hipster shit and you could literally play a few shows, be like yeah i played at legion or party city or st vitus or death by audio or market hotel or (x amount of trustfunded loft space venues) and it was an all you can eat ass buffet. you didn't even have to be good. you could literally get on stage with a sampler, an overhead projector, and a bass clarinet covered in tin foil and as long as you sold your bullshit hard enough you were 100% going to get laid / get some free coke / both. i'll hand it to the strokes that they helped all these (hot) normie-entryleveler bitches from ohio / wisconsin / whatever want to move to NY and go to shows and start shitty jewelry lines / do graphic design. it was soooo easy, man. those were the good days. "yeah i know todd p, he put on this show / kip mallone was in the audience, did you see him?" 8==D ~ ~ ~

this thread sucks fuck you

is this the RYM thread

yes.

cool

Ugh, this album really annoys me. There's way too much fucking around doing god knows what when they should be making songs that people could actually enjoy listening to. I'm sure this fits in the history of modern music somewhere but this is just not for me.

I'm kind of surprised the RYM rating is so high, I suppose if you're hip to the existence of this album then this music is probably for you.

How the fuck dare you talk shit on this album, you fucking cretin? Okay, I don't expect every Sup Forumstard to understand the state of European avant-rock bands at the time... you've probably never even heard AMM/AMMMusic and if you did you'd probably be like, "this guy needs to tune his guitar". You'd probably say the same about Half Japanese (different era and much poppier) but c'mon dude get your shit together.

It isn't fucking around. This Heat is INCREDIBLE and Deceit is a fucking masterpiece. The part in Paper Hats where it just shifts into that fucking hypnotic groove after all the spazzery, goddamn might be one of my favorite moments in any album ever. Fuck you. Fuck you to death.

Get your shit together, get it all together and put it in a back pack, all your shit, so it's together. And if you gotta take it some where, take it somewhere, you know, take it to the shit store and sell it, or put it in the shit museum. I don't care what you do, you just gotta get it together. Get your shit together.

This guy is a fucking god. 17 Grammies and counting. The Swedish fucking genius who wrote and produced the biggest hits by:
* Taylor Swift
* Katy Perry
* Celine Dion
* The Backstreet Boys
* The Weeknd
* Adele
* Usher
* Jessi J
& countless others. Every time someone's like "pop artists don't write or produce their own shit"... THIS IS THE GUY THAT'S WRITING LITERALLY ALL OF THEIR SHIT

Arguably the most prolific and successful musician of the PAST 20 YEARS. And his top influences?
> Prince
> Lasse Holm
> ABBA

Makes total sense that all of pop music is written by one middle-aged Swedish dude. Seriously, look up his discography, it's fucking insane.

Here's what a real musician looks like, and instead of putting his big dumb face on album covers and TV interviews and music videos, he just writes the fucking hits and he writes ALL the fucking hits. Dude isn't even Jewish. He's a Swede.

>Is This It?
It really was

Also:
* Christina Aguilera
* Ariana Grande
* Justin Timberlake
* Avril Lavigne back when she was big
* Britney fucking Spears when she was yuge (not physically)

Seriously, this dude just lets the actors "sing" his shit for him and is the real artist behind like a good 80% of pop radio in the PAST. 20. YEARS. Like the music or not, that's impressive for one guy. Literally EVERYONE has had one of his songs stuck in their head at one point. Like it or not, the man's a fucking genius.

your opinions suck, youre a literal faggot who cribs his opinions from vice lol

who said they were my opinions, man? i like all those bands

i was just providing content and encouraging discussion about music. isn't that the point of this board? what the hell are you contributing, other than negativity?

Sonic Youth albums aren’t as popular now as they were in the days of cassettes. That’s because now it’s a lot easier to say, “Hey this song is going fucking nowhere, skip it.” Every single Sonic Youth song is a “skip it” song. Every single one. Unless, of course, you enjoy hearing Thurston Moore sound like he’s dicking around with effects pedals at Guitar Center.

post less

make me

i held off on the SY and pavement ones because I actually love those bands and grew up on them and nobody on Sup Forums actually listens to either one

both are funny tho. the pavement one's like "these guys sound like every indie rock band ever" lol

I seriously implore you to commit suicide.

I completely agree, even if copypasta.

This album was the exact moment that I realized that modern "rock" can go fuck it self. I've been trappin ever since.

I googled OP's post and found the original Noisey article.
Holy shit it's a goldmine for copypastas.
noisey.vice.com/en_au/article/the-123-worst-musicians-of-all-time

Velvet Underground is proof that if you want to create something truly terrible, you just need to start by telling a bunch of burnouts that they're artists. Then let them fire away, get hooked on heroin, and keep perpetuating the cycle by influencing new generations of shitty wannabe artists. It's the greatest conceptual art prank Andy Warhol ever pulled.

Not even copypasta. I wrote all that shit off the top of my drunken head, because it's fucking true. But I'm definitely going to copypasta it later. Feel free to do so too

My nigga. I had a similar experience.

The Talking Homos, more like. They are the worst. Why the fuck are a bunch of art students with funny suits mentioned in every single “history of punk” article? Just because they played a local dive called CBGB’s? Ooooh “psycho killer, qu-est que ce?” I’m so scared. What are you going to kill me with, Mr. Oversized Guitar? Pretentiousness? Come to think of it, a lot of those supposedly really important New York punk bands were crap. Patti Smith was a self-obsessed folk singer, The Ramones are Bill Haley, Television are unlistenable after the first five seconds of their best album, and Richard Hell only had “The Kid With the Replaceable Head.” The rest of his shit sounds like that “Doug and Mary Whiner” skit from Saturday Night Live.

>THE MISFITS Punk has always been about dressing up in dumb costumes, but these bridge and tunnel posers took it to the next level. God bless Jerry Only for desperately clinging to this band’s bloated corpse harder than his receding devilock.

wow

To be fair, Pantene Pro-V has released at least 80 different types of shampoo over the past 15 years, and sold them off of one The Transplants song (their only song btw).

The Misfits have sold one T-shirt based off of a whole discography that amounts to one song, because all of their shit sounds exactly alike. So what I'm getting at is that The Misfits are basically a hair product and clothing line, which is why they're sold at Hot Topic.

Hey chill out man DB is a self-proclaimed autist. Talking Heads was a band fueled by tendies

which song fag?

seven nation army, are you in middle school or something?

You're opinions are wrong.

I hate OP

Yeah, I'm gonna need specifics, otherwise I'm just going to assume that you're butthurt because you aren't as cool as you thought you were and your taste in music sucks.

But at least your parents loaded up your card this week so that you can buy shitty, overpriced clothes from Buffalo Exchange and some scratched-up albums that you'll play once and then display in a stack for the next two years so that you can try to impress that girl from Anthro class that has platinum hair and cat eye makeup, right?

>"T-This is Tagu Magu by this really obscure German band called Can, they kicked out their first singer for being crazy, he was like a black guy, but then they got this Japanese guy who was a busker. Do you want some more wine / can u touch my peen?

That's from the wrong album you posted you fucking retard.

Oh nevermind me I thought you were reviewing albums like Christgau

Ha! Ha! Ha! That has NOTHING to do with what I said! That's a great straw-man, you little piece of shit! You know that the White Stripes suck and you just don't want to admit it!
Fell In Love With A Girl sucked too, and wasn't better than the shit singles that the Hives and the Vines put out during the same year. All the "the" bands sucked, go fuck yourself. I never said it was on white blood cells, you dumb fuck.

>than the shit singles that the Hives and the Vines put out during the sam
Dumbass

Lol, XGau? You mean these guys???
youtu.be/EcS5kreTq_4

Christgau is an autist that lives in the village whose whole apartment is like a 10x10 box where every wall is a shelf of albums that nobody cares about. Also, he's a prick. Trust me, I've met him and been to his place. He got fired for a reason.

Yeah, the Hives and the Vines both became one-hit wonders during the same year that the White Stripes put out "Fell In Love With A Girl", the song which put them on the map. Nobody listened to De Stijl. Fuck off, kid, I was actually alive then.

I believe you, dumbass

Cool

> Stereolab sucks
> Pram sucks
> Wooden Sjips sucks
> Flying Lotus and everyone on Brainfeeder sucks
> The Presidents Of The United States Of America sucked, hard
> Everything Brian Eno has ever touched sucks

Once again, not addressing any of the points I brought up during this discussion, which I take as an admission of intellectual failure on your point, as you have nothing to argue with other than old memes and caveman grunts.

Sorry, kid, you listen to shitty music. I bet your "guilty pleasure" is the Mars Volta or some gay ass shit.

Outkast are two people u idiot

What are you doing right now? Are you just sitting at home, giggling at how dumb your posts are and how you think people are reacting. It's okay, dumbass.

captain beefheart just fucking sucks and doesn't even deserve a shitpost in this thread. if i wanted to listen to unlistenable ironic hippy crap, i'd listen to early frank zappa

It’s amazing to think that Van Morrison made Astral Weeks at the age of 23. Most people don’t lose touch and make terrible adult contempo music until they hit 40.

This is a good list of normies bands

It's amazing that OP is shitposting on Sup Forums at the age of 40. Most people have a job and a gf when they hit 23.

I mean, I'm 28 but I look fucking 40. I may be a stay-at-home remote software engineer but at least I'm not a fucking NEET that listens to urban outfitters radio.

You are the worst type of person. I bet you have glasses, a beard, and a cat.

>poor eyesight
check, but I don't correct it because I want to go through life seeing the world the way it was given to me

>beard
more like a permanent five o-clock shadow

>cat
chihuahua-terrier mix, does that count?

also you're a fucking faggot go move out of your parents house you little shit.

That sounds like a gay ass cat

don't blame me i found the little shit in a dumpster

but yeah she's pretty gay
