music has always sucked. there are like 3 albums worth listening to a year. some years those albums are better than others.

2011 - RIP music goodbye...

but it's true.
compare a single year in the 90s with any year after 2000.
there's simply no contest.

2000 was a great year honestly

Only insecure rockists think that way. 2000s brought in such a weird and unconventional sea of change that the average rockist doesn't know how to react to it. With the advent of individual MP3/FLAC/other music files I am even surprised that we still base artist quality through albums. This even allows some older artists to have more merit as well like for example Robert Wyatt who, outside two critically acclaimed albums, has released inconsistent albums, but if one were to take all the good tracks from his inconsistent albums along with the two good ones you have more good music coming from him than an artist with four good albums and bad everything else.

A lot of newer stuff like the Aphex Twin album Drukqs or the Autechre release elseq1-5 work with this idea in mind so the listener first checks out all the tracks, then makes an album playlist of the stuff they really liked and then mainly listen to that afterwards.

post top 10 of 2000's

2013 is better than 1995

because in the 2000s people stopped recording to tape and started recording in pro tools, and it's greatly inflated and twisted the very idea of how talented modern bands and artists are.

because of technology in the early 2000s, you started hearing songs that contained performances that didn't actually happen live in the studio. artists started using computers to make up for the fact that they couldn't perform their part on rhythm end-to-end. imo, this means the musician is inherently not as good as people who actually rehearsed and worked to be able to perform the music live in a few takes. doesn't mean i don't enjoy digital music, but it does speak to the musician's ability/willingness to put in effort. it's old fashioned, but i think there's something to be said for musicians who are willing to give their all to the music. i think elvin jones said about playing with coltrane, "you gotta be willing to die with a motherfucker."

obviously not all people who use pro tools and other daws/autotune abuse these capabilities, but when people do, the technology is used to inflate a musician's ability when they're able to copy and paste perfect snare drum hits over an entire track. i've seen it in the studio many times. it's basically like using an aimbot for music.

at the same time, digital recording has opened up our world to jaw-dropping forms of music that wouldn't have been possible if we had stuck to analog technology. most of the music i really connect with had some sort of digital manipulation.

at the end of the day, i think digital recording will be remembered as a bad thing for music of old, and an amazing thing for music of new. much like the electric guitar before it.

what are your top albums from 2013

why, so you can tell me my taste is bad? the point is there were actually exciting things happening in pop music that pushed boundaries. that didn't happen in 1995 except for aphex twin, and maybe fugazi

This is true

Could never get into 2000s rock. I prefer all the stuff Mac Demarco and Tame Impala are doing now. I like laid back styles and that seems to be more of a characteristic of 2010's music. Still, I respect people's opinions and if you guys like it then fair enough.

op's chart is mostly likely bait I agree because there isn't a decent album there

not the best year but you see the difference

no too many people getting shut down

b8 again

that's exactly what I'm saying it has to be bait

faggot

thats not true, it's just that anyone who thinks music started sucking in the 60s/70s is dead, and the other people are too old to care

There was also Post and The Bends

This is a liberal board gb2 homophobic bigot

I kind of agree with this.

2001 vs 1992

I wanna say it's something to do with mass media being way more accessible, including the throwaway pop singles. That and nostalgia, which I understand. I use nostalgia as a way to deal with shit often and I imagine a lot of these people do too.

Funeral kind of sucks desu and i'm not saying that to be a contrarian :/

Win Butler is a horrible singer. His voice keeps AF from being a top-tier band

Ohh shut the fuck up

Kid A was awesome definitely. The other three there are good but ultimately disposable. Certainly doesn't make up for all the terrible mediocre bullshit that came out during those ten years.

Kid A might be the most overrated piece of work in history. It is not that innovative and in no way is it better than The Bends, In Rainbows (be it 1 or 2) let alone Ok Computer, which was, by the way, the most innovative work by Radiohead.

Not OP but take into account Like Clockwork and AM.

>Ohh
Makes you sound dumb.

>there are good but ultimately disposable.
You're an idiot.
You give no reason to why. I expect this to just be bait.

>its much easier to look objectively at the past than it is the present. in 20 years people will be looking back on music released today that you would never consider 'groundbreaking', or worth putting on a pedestal, and praising it for being 'real music'.
>time also is a great filter. in the moment its hard to ignore the 10000 mediocre albums and focus on the one good one, but as time goes on all the bad ones are forgotten and it appears as though the standard was higher, when in fact it wasn't. there was just as much trash released in the 90's as there is today.
>not all good music is widely heard and praised in the year it was released, and over time a 'best of this time period' list gets better and better as things are discovered and added to it that wouldn't have been known right away.
>a lot of people praising the 90s right now are in their 20s, and were listening to 90s music during their formative musical years. just like old hippies just keep loving shit from the 60s and 70s and often can't understand modern music, young people today will keep going back to music from the 90s because it just feels 'right' to them.

Most people literally werent aware of these 4 albums.
