What genre did this create? I mean, I love it but Lizzy Mercier Descloux and Gang of Four were already doing the funky post-punk thing before this dropped. Fela Kuti was also making similar (though not post-punk) material.

...

literally what genre did either of these create

Husker Du - In A Free Land

Although that was just a 7"

Prog rock

...

...

Remain In Light created Afrobeat
Yeezus created Industrial Hip Hop

The best and first truly experimental hip hop album

fear of music too

I was talking more Emocore/Emo

this album is so far ahead of it's time that it still doesn't make sense

Me too. I'm listening to it now and the similarity is pretty significant.

What about the Doof Groups?

Heavy and Doom Metal (also I'd say stoner metal because of NIB)

>Remain In Light created Afrobeat
KEK

Art Rap right?

meme genre

>white appropriation the album
>created a genre

>caring about appropriation
don't listen to music

Well Emo stated as Post-Hardcore driven more by personal ~emotions~ rather than political statuses, RoS are definitely Post-Hardcore, but the lyrics are what made a big impact.

Speed Metal

Welcome to Hell did it first lol

Dälek

this btw

what's the "emo" appeal of this album? is it in the lyrics?

New Wave

>who are dalek

Lmao no they didn't create anything new. Instead incorporated from other genres into their shit.

Well technically its just the title track.

1. In A Free Land - Emo
2. What Do I Want - Screamo
3. MIC - Hardcore Punk

>falling for obvious bait
man this board really confuses me sometimes

new wave and post-punk was already a thing. i mean yeah it advanced and innovated those genres but didn't create them

t. brainlets

African music

rock music in general is appropriation. the vast majority of it can be traced back to the blues and jazz which were started by blacks. what's your point?

First accurate post.

My point is that album shouldn't be acclaimed retard.

Um no, I'm correct about Husker Du

no

Yes

>this is the people you share the board with

Good pick

The Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight (neo-psychedelia)
Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden (post-rock)
Wire - Pink Flag (post-punk)
Faith No More - Angel Dust (nu-metal)
The Mothers of Invention - Uncle Meat (avant-prog)
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy (shoegaze)
The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat (noise rock)

These are all debatable, just throwing them out there for consideration

How in the holy fucking hell is Pink Flag post punk? It's a definitive punk album.

...

>what's the "emo" appeal of this album? is it in the lyrics?

Lyrics, relatively more melodic/melancholic guitar arrangements, more dramatic, "despairing" vocal delivery. Emo is short for emotional hardcore. After having listened to Brand New/American Football etc, it might be hard to see how it would be labeled as such. But, if you try to look at it in context (hardcore in the mid 80s), it makes sense.

Please don't respond to @74160238.
He's trolling.

angel dust is not nu-metal

And they could be classified as sub genres like emocore and post-emo

Yeah most of that post is quite triggering

Now why would you think that user?

Pic related is the first noise rock album, sorry

also, this

Sorry, I wasn't trying to bait, I was just throwing stuff down off the top of my head

It's not directly nu-metal, but the combination of aggressive alt-metal, pop and hip hop influence, and vaguely sarcastic lyrics about disdain for society was a massive influence on nu-metal
Hell, Disturbed even covered Midlife Crisis
Again, I might be wrong tho

Good point on Red Crayola, forgot about them
And good points on Wire along with , there's probably a much better example there
I was just thinking some of the more angular riffs + loftier artistic ambitions may have influenced post-punk

post-rock and avant-prog are barely genres. Art Zoyd's later records for instance sound nothing like Uncle Meat. And Slint or Swans sound nothing like Talk Talk.
Maybe not explicitly post punk, but the influence Iggy Pop's The Idiot (which came out earlier the same year) cannot be understated.

first goth

Siouxsie and the Banshees were more of an influential band to the genre, than a 'gothic' band per se to me

Wait, what is a single solitary second of hip-hop on Angel Dust?

>Remain In Light created Afrobeat
>everyone overlooking this

lmao

I thought Bauhaus did that. And technically there was somebody before them too but I forget who and it was just a 7" or sometbing.

The sampling on Midlife Crisis and A Small Victory

Symphonic rock

First hardcore

In the Flat Field was released in 1980, and yeah, there was gothic rock before UP but we're talking about albums here

I'm not sure that's even the first hardcore LP but Middle Class - Out of Vogue 7" was the first hardcore release.

Bela Lugosi's dead

What about Kind of Blue and modal jazz?

No Wave, Synth punk

Progressive rock

Parody Rock

Dubstep

still remains an undefined genre
known as experimental hip hop with hints of lofi and punk

Black Flag - Nervous Breakdown (October 1978)
The Middle Class - Out of Vogue (January 1979)

I think GI is the first hardcore LP. Pic related would've been the first if released though. It was recorded even before Black Flag, damn

how is this no wave

Freak Out! friend

nobody even checking the double quads

Yeah same with Bad Brains - Black Dots but I can't find that it was released even as a demo until 15 years later.

The Fugs

inb4 some fuckhead posts loveless

Punk influenced, synth filled, abrasive, experimental underground New York music

it was very influential to the scene

shoegaze / dream pop

first death metal

>"it was very influential to the scene"
yes
>was it part of the scene?
no

low effort

wrong.

youtu.be/RX-dnSgkQMs

Magma's first album began the Zeuhl genre. They invented a new genre pretty amazing imo.

Wasn't Mantas first?

...

I know eccojams came first but the more you listen to vaporwave you learn most of it sounds a lot more like this than eccojams. wish I had the original art on my disc too

watered-down white people funk was already a thing at least like 15 years before this came out

maybe they started watered-down white people "world music", i'll give you that

first math rock
fite me irl

yeah but they didn't record any LP so Seven Churches is the first Death Metal album

not noise rock. There are noise songs and there are rock songs, but no actual songs that involve both rock and noise. WLWH was the first noise rock album

Sludge Metal

I am begging for the fucking version of a song. It's the man who sold the world, but its only piano and vocals and I have googled my ass off. Someone please help me.

I wish I cold find the origin of that image

shoegaze existed before loveless

if anything psychocandy birthed shoegaze

Tempted to say that King Crimson's Starless and Bible Black could be considered one of the major foundations. In the more prog heavy side of the genre at least, not the bands that just play really complex punk.
My War

>i dislike it because its has a meme status
Stop kidding yourself

...

Proto-punk (and subsequently punk) was spawned from this and Kick Out The Jams.

Someone please!

youtu.be/axGsg3fPm84

are you retarded?

Have you even listened to The Witch from pic related?

Also, Los Saicos etc

It's disingenuous to claim that any one album created punk.
TVU and a bunch of other garage rock bands had already set many guidelines before Iggy & The Stooges did

wrong, New Wave has existed since 77

obvious b8
