ITT: contrarian as fuck choices for an artist's best album

ITT: contrarian as fuck choices for an artist's best album

David Bowie - Never Let Me Down
Jay Z - In MY Lifetime 1
Eminem - Encore
Michael Jackson - Invincible
Stevie Wonder - Stevie at the Beach

...

...

Camel - Rain Dances
David Bowie - Lodger
King Crimson - Beat
Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets/More
The Zombies - Begin Here

...

Here's an example of when the contrarian as fuck choice is also the correct one.

Lodger is great it's in my top 5 Bowie albums.
I guess The Campfire Headphase By Boards of Canada

Reminder you actually a dumb if you don't think it's niggas on the moon

The live tracks give it that sense of organic grit that to me makes it their best

Massive Attack - 100th Window
Aphex Twin - Ventolin
Einsturzende Neubauten - Perpetuum Mobile
Boards of Canada - Boc Maxima
Burial - s/t, Ghost Hardware
the true contrarian choice is Biophilia

Except biophilia is the patrician choice

The Antlers - In the Attic of the Universe
Pink Floyd - Meddle

Fuck off, Lodger's a perfectly viable pick for Bowie's best album, I'd say almost every one from '69 to '82 has rotated between being my favourite at one point.

AnCo - Danse Manatee

...

ur wrong dude

volta's always been the contrarian choice, don't even argue otherwise

Extra points if you say it's "the best thing Metallica's been involved with".

Hail to the Thief

Yes, some people are THAT dumb.

respect

...

Genesis - Nursery Cryme
Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans
Talking Heads - Fear of Music
King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon
The Beatles - Help!
Devo - Freedom of Choice

haha yes campfire is the opposite of deep

get outta here meddle is masterpiecerrific

shh used to be my favorite album

all accurate, good job
nostalgia ultra is more contrarian
niggas on the moon is more contrarian

MBV

ok how bout now?

...

>not s/t

Red Hot Chile Peppers - One Hot Minute
Pink Floyd - Ummagumma
The Smashing Pumpkins - Gish
Pagans in Vegas - Metric
Duke - Genesis

what the fuck though?

...

Television's self titled

explain what makes you like it the best

...

fucking sellout trash

>Animal Collective - Danse Manatee

On Avery Island

But debut and biophilia are my favourite bjork albums by far

...

...

Death Grips is legitimately one of the worst bands of all time.

This is what happens when a bunch of faux-artsy numales really want to be cool and different but are too dumb and uninteresting to do it any way possible and also think they're too good for anything that conveys any kind of emotion. Or is catchy. Or is written well. Or has anything redeeming.

Listening to this god-awful band is like having an 8th grader beat me over the head with a finger painting. It is so contrived it's agonizing. These guys so hard to be edgy it sounds like the members have veigns popping out of their forehead.

It goes out of its way to be different because it has no other ways to be interesting and the way it's different is just random bullshit. It's lame as fuck and them cranking that factor up to 11 doesn't change that.

I don't expect any kind of rebuttal because their fans are the worst kind of hipsters that act like babies when someone doesn't like what they like and think insulting someone is an argument.
The problem is that Death Grips are a special kind of unlistenable; their albums don't reward active engagement, but they don't make good background music, either. Their brand of angst is cloying and grating like an attention-starved, sugar-crashing eight-year-old who wants you to admire his finger painting, while you're trying to wash the dishes.

implying this isn't the greatest album of all time

this one actually triggers me

just grab a popular artist (has to be relevant so people will actually give a shit and call you names) and choose their less acclaimed album. not that hard.

2/10
too angsty

I actually agree with you, user. Debut is unironically my fave Bjork album. (I prefer her more electronic sound.)

Yes - Big Generator

> i need some money for heroin - the album

...

literally my favorite (and scruffies) th album

Their later work is objectively better. Speaking in tongues and Remain in Light are flawless

>never let me down
who even thinks that is the best bowie album

Prisma, probably.

Biophilia is by far my favourite Björk album. I will never understand why fans don't like it more.

...

This is unironically my favorite Beach Boys album.

...

...

>stevie at the beach

I fucking love young Stevie's voice

I listened to that one again recently. I'm a huge Radiohead faggot. But Jesus, that album is just so damn boring. I nearly fell asleep. What were they thinking?

0/10 nice copypasta

...

well you're a retard

...

Admit it you fags.

not exactly what OP is looking for, but the US release of Rubber Soul is superior to the UK version.

UK version is the only version that was released on CD worldwide, though. Which means that was what got ripped, so most internet versions are UK.

I love the song "Drive my Car," but the US version of Rubber Soul has a very sustained, somewhat melancholy mood that the UK version--which starts off with DMC--never attains.

the only people who like fear of music most are dads who were around when it came out.

also freedom of choice? kys

If it weren't for Kid A it'd be my favorite. No need to call someone dumb for having a completely reasonable opinion.

this is contrarian? its his only worthwhile album

Piero Scafurri

The whole point is that it's contrarian you fuck.

same honestly

...

>Tim Buckley

B^U

no

actually patrician

haha nigga u gay haha

Pink Floyd: The final Cut
Sure it's great if you like Roger Waters but as a Floyd album it's really lacking. Prime Pink Floyd was between 1969-1977 IMHO

Roger Waters: Amused to Death
It's a shame he can't sing like he used to.

>meddle
What is wrong with you?

Thats literaly like her second best album
I think the absolute most contrarian chice has to be Voltaïc

invincible is amazing though

...

>The Beatles - Help!
hey fuck off

My second favourite radiohead album right after amnesiac

yes

...

Fuck no it isn't....

I thought we were only talking about studio albums?

Nice

...

It wouldn't be contrarian to prefer any of Kanye's studio albums over another, they're all masterpieces.

Trespass for Genesis my brother

How do you rate their others?

thats a respectable choice

nah, tons of people like 808's enough to the point where it isn't really contrarian

lol

Mogwai - Hardcore Will Never Die... But You Will
The Fall - Country on the Click
Skinny Puppy - Bites
Genesis - Trick of the Tail
King Crimson - Starless & Bible Black
Chrome - 3rd from the Sun

wow. I would probably say Drama is their under-rated masterpiece but to each their own. I have a copy of Big Generator on vinyl I guess I need to re-listen to it

easily One Hot MInute. Kiedis' last heroin album. Navarro killed it. Flea rips it.
