This isn’t even controversial is it?

I know this is silly, but I had a mild sense of panic about how many seemingly interesting albums were released today. Hopefully May will be a damp squib.

100% recognise this. Democratisation of music production has just exposed how many talented people there are.

REM are very boring. Especially for a band from Athens, GA, home of yr Pylons, yr B-52s, yr Deerhunters, etc.

Oh I got another: Tomboy by Panda Bear is also very boring. Just a dude singing long notes over dreary grey sludge.

And for a positive one: Hot Hot Heat’s Make Up The Breakdown is a classic of the ā€œpost-punk revivalā€ era, although I guess it’s more ā€œnew waveā€-y

Traditional punk rock never got any better than when Sublime did it.

Dave Grohl is the worst vocalist in the history of rock music.

I once said the beatles are underrated causing huge shock in the room. So that then.

Reioi by black foxxes is the best British rock album of the 2010s

I would say his lyrics aren’t that good either

thinks he’s more clever than he is

That 00s pop music with its stylistic use of auto tune and maximalist approach to production was truly avant garde and were it not for its mass consumption would be recognised as boundry pushing experimentation deserving of high praise.

Its also barley listenable.

Most hip hop is pretty tedious

I’m kinda hoping most people have done a full circle on this one.

Care a lot about music and let if form part of an identity - > Realise this is ultimately futile and it’s unimportant how other people enjoy media - >
Good fun to talk about and be passionate about your hobbies but ultimately not really caring if other people have different opinions/chat shit.

I’m probably making a few assumptions on the average age or demographic of users of this site in doing that.

If you have to use time signatures to explain why an artist is good then they aren’t.

Red Hot Chili Peppers actually have at least a couple of good songs

Going to bump that ā€œcoupleā€ up to ā€œ5ā€ and ā€œsongsā€ up to ā€œalbums.ā€

I’ll also bump that ā€œgoodā€ up to ā€œoutstandingā€ for 3 of them and a lot of the other 2.
