Any of you guys got this book?
No, what's the 10 last ones.
i know that at one point it had 50 cent album in there. i'm never gonna buy it
Got the updated version a few months ago. It's an interesting read. They're not ranked in order, they're ranked chronologically, so there isn't a "top ten/last ten" to speak of.
It's not bad from a cultural perspective, and a lot of the works in there are just critics' favorites but take the book with a pinch of salt and you'll find a decent chronology of pop music in there.
Personally I think it's fantastic, it's not just the obvious stuff, lots of hidden gems
If you go on Soulseek and search '1000 albums' you can find people who have a folder of all the albums to download
Soy garbage
It's pretty bad because it includes some straight up garbage just because it was popular, it's a little too uninterested in making sure it recommends albums people will feel better for having listened to
A friend of mine had it. It's not terrible, but it's about as bland and uninsightful as you'd expect. Not a single noise album in the book, by the way. Regardless of how you feel about noise, everyone who cares about music should hear Pulse Demon at least once.
>everyone who cares about music should hear Pulse Demon at least once.
I hate this board
please appreciate that this is a book for, and by normies, you won't find crazy japanese vegans blasting you with static for an hour - it's just not practical
>5 Bruce Springsteen albums
>4 U2 albums
>3 Blur albums (WTF??)
>3 Dexy's Midnight Runners albums (double WTF??)
>3 Wilco albums
>this book is by and for normies, so the usual critiques of plebs who don't know anything about music shouldn't apply!
OP asked for thoughts on this book, I told him it was fine but not noteworthy for anyone other than normies, are you retarded or something?
Nah you're just an autistic harsh noise fan who thinks the genre has anything of interest to anyone outside a circle of skinny, leather-clad weeaboo permavirgins.
To say you need to have heard even 1 (one) harsh noise album to care about music is ridiculous
and I don't even dislike harsh noise
If you want to claim to know anything about music, you should listen to at least one harsh noise album all the way through. That is a perfectly reasonable thing to say. It's an entire genre, and an extremely unique one. If you don't experience it at least once, then you can't possibly comment on its importance or lack thereof.
i bet you haven't listened to a full album from every genre
>implying YHF and Being There aren't at least worth a listen
What was the third one though?
Name a genre.
Summer Teeth?
this should be fun
>3 blur albums
if its not s/t, 13 and Parklife, then it can fuck off
Synthwave Folk
Your in the right here harsh-noise user but have you tried these abominations?
>name a genre so i can lie and say i've listened to it
i'll bite though because i have nothing better to do
>aggrotech
>afrobeat
>future funk
>goa trance
>k-pop
>j-pop
>psychobilly
these are some basics i assume you've listened to at least one full album of?
His point is that harsh noise is actually an important genre. Those things on the other hand are memes (and even a fair amount of normies has listened to some j and K-pop albums)
post Chap Hop and Pirate Metal links please
unfortunately...
Yes I have
Danger music is barely a genre though, any genre can be danger music if you perform it a certain way
You don't have to be a noise musician to drive an excavator into a concert hall, yknow?
what do you take me for, user, this is baby shit
to be fair, though, for jpop and kpop, I've listened to an album's worth of assorted tracks, not specific albums
Does Clear Moon count as synth folk
if it doesn't pls post some

If you want to claim to know anything about music, you should listen to at least one k-pop album all the way through
Gonna have to disagree. Certainly an album's worth of kpop, but unlike noise, the songs are not constructed as long-form art pieces. The songs are meant to be consumed individually, the order or length of time you consume them in does not affect your understanding.
>Just Like A Chap
I really wish this was the first I'd heard of this
Okay I'm satisfied. No further questions
Imagine someone driving construction machines into the audience of a Beyonce concert
zydeco
soukous
gamelan
enka
qawwali
fado
zouk
how do you fare on these? or are you too anglo-centric?
user I performed in a gamelan ensemble
While I'm not familiar with some of those genres, I'd still say everyone should listen to them. Since they're so local, their importance isn't applicable to all of music worldwide, but there's certainly plenty of reason to listen to them.
If you're not too pretentious, do post some albums you like, I'm interested.
cowwave
>user I performed in a gamelan ensemble
that's bretty cool user, what do you play?
>If you're not too pretentious, do post some albums you like, I'm interested.
honeslty i cant say im overly familiar with them all, i was just trying to refute your implication that you'd listened to every genre of music
youtube.com
I played a bit of everything except kendang and rebab
Slenthem or saron are the most fun, if you ask me
Ensemble leader was a cool dude and let us experiment with the instruments outside of class, bowing the keys on a gender makes some really cool sounds
I wasn't in it terribly long but it's still going on, might re-join if I'm not too busy next semester
it has Kid Rock in it. that's pretty much all you need to know
its actually modern life is rubbish instead of 13
name your favourite albums from the following genres
post avant jazzcore
progressive dreamfunk
brutal prog
I've seen the song version.
It's pretty trash imo. Basically just a list of 1001 popular songs through the years. Your average person will have heard of 80-90% of post-1960 songs on the list, so I really don't understand who the book is for.
Fake genre but the closest thing:
>John Zorn - Naked City
Never really enjoyed PDF
And for brutal prog, Gyatso is unironically my AOTY for 1994, come on user
Damn, you got me listening to Gyatso again, good shit
>oh look! i found a shitty sub-sub-genre. i bet he hasnt listened to this!
noise isnt even a subgenre. its a whole genre, with a shitton of subgenres too, but we are only talking about the GENRE as a whole. you can say shit like brutal prog, but thats just prog.
what are you hidin' there?
:^)
out of interest, can you post your chart/top 10/a few of your favourite albums?
i'm sure it would be a pretty interesting pick
Sure gimme a minute
will you shut the fuck up?
w-what's under that white box user?
my guess is 6ix9ine
:^)
why are you embarresed user? its obvious from the screenshot that you're a pleb anyway
POP THESE NIGGAS LIKE A WHEELIE NIGGA, YOU A SILLY NIGGA
Here's a lil 5x5. Some recent, some long time favorites.
Honestly I don't care I just didn't want to start a shitstorm.
damn topsters didn't render, here
>I just didn't want to start a shitstorm.
why not user? come on at least we will get this thread a little alive
This thread's more alive than most of Sup Forums at the moment, the last thing we need is another 6ix9ine shitfest
>No Death Grips
>soy
into the trash it goes.
Alestorm rock though
>you won't find crazy japanese vegans blasting you with static for an hour
The way you phrased that made it sound way funnier than it should
Do people not like Shmilco?
