records you HATE, but gets high praise

again, don't count pitchfork.

one that comes to mind is "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink
Floyd - that shit is SO over-rated...i don't even think it's
a bad record - but i HATE it because of all the hype it's
got. you see 13-year-old kids who have just discovered pot
wearing a Dark Side t-shirt they probably picked up at some
poseur black-market-type store...

I don't think that is true at all.

So you are saying that you hate all music...

most grammy award winners. though i must be honest i haven't
really listened to any of those albums.

opinion on other albums mentioned:
-dark side of the moon is great (fuck hype, make up your own
mind!)
-not everything is shit
-come to daddy made the top 40...that was good!
-rolling stones are good

thank you. good day.

whoa whoa don't get me wrong, i think Dark Side is good
music, no doubt at all.

but i just hate everything else about it - the statement it
makes to young kids, like "i'm cool because i'm listening to
Floyd"...the image has just gotten into the wrong hands...

and yes, the Rolling Stones FUCKING SUCK.

I used to wear a Pink Floyd The Wall t-shirt when I was a
teenager, not because I wanted to be a poser, but because I
was heavily into them. Your theory is bollox. In my area,
you can get a kickin for cuttin aboot in a Floyd T-shirt.
It's hardly cool

You should slag twats who wear Gap stuff, not music
t-shirts!

i met a young kid wearing a Wall t-shirt, and i asked
"what's track 11 on CD2?" she said "i dunno". so i chastised
her, and told her she shouldn't be sporting the gear if she
doesn't know it.

it's cool to sport the gear if you know it - but my little
sister has exposed me to people who just wear the shit to be
"cool".

To be honest I wouldn`t know what track 11 on CD 2 is
either, though I can play the whole album backwards on
guitar! I must be a poser too!

this thread isn't a bad thread, but i fucking hate it
because of the message it sends to all the kids, that the
kid who made this thread is so much cooler and honest and
genuine...

seventeen year olds bitching about 13 year olds, soon to be
twenty year olds bitching about seventeen year olds...ah,
the cycle of life...

"(i can't get no)satisfaction" by the rolling stones=worst
song ever

Suicide. I initially listened to them just to be cool and in

never be required to have to listen to them again.

Radiohead, totally overrated in my humble opinnion.

and something more recent, sorry, I don't liked analord 1-4
(10 was ok) most of the times I felt like I was going
nowhere listening to them... all the money from the fans
involved in the BINDER TRICK... I can't stop thinking in
Richard evil trick, now he is sure most of the people with
the binder will have to buy the other 9 vinyls just to have
the complete collection, fucking easy cash masterplan
ever!!, and that becomimg from a supossed favorite artist...
thats really really disappointing and sad :(

but this life is too short to hate, so better I don't have
in mind that I hate that stuff and everything is solved

or should I prepare for more deceptions this year?

sorry, I'm too sad, good night everybody :(

You prick. Music isn't about knowing what track X is on CD Y
of album Z. I don't know what track 11 of CD 2 is, either,
cretinface.

music isn't, no. but then again, we don't buy CD's because
we like music. we buy them because we like art. and i'd
expect that someone who sports gear for an album should know
the track titles! it's not much to ask!

and if you don't buy CD's because you like art, but just
music, then you might as well buy those cheesy 70's rock
compilations by Time Life.

Neto - Everything you have said is true. Probably the most I
have agreed with anyone on this message board. Ive been
trying really hard to like the new Analords, but something
isnt clicking with them for some reason. I kinda dig 10 but
at certain points of each song I think he could have thought
of better directions to go in. As for radiohead, i feel like
i know why people love this band so much, but for some
reason i dont know why. haha...wow what a shitty point.

Sgt Pepper does kind of suck. Its recognised as being the
pinnacle of Beatle experimentation, but I'd say White Album,
Revolver, Abbey Road and Magical Mystery Tour are all
better.

It needs more Lennon enthusiasm.

i dont hate any music at all, i just cant listen to certain
artists/releases:

even though i think they are talented and pretty much
everything can be attributed to them - the beatles
some nine inch nails, but i like most
boards of canada - iam really not into them, they sound to
tame and milky
hail to the thief by radiohead, but everything else is good
bjork, almost all of her stuff, cant really get into it
i hate categorizing stuff, but all of the new retro punk a
la the white stripes, the strokes, franz ferdinand, the
hives, the vines etc.

btw, for what its worth,

joy division and pink floyd kick some serious ass, they are
big influences on my musical tastes

i would say the big non electronic three:

first there was pink
then came joy
so then i found slint and then all was perfect.

wakisan , well, I need to confess and be honest again:
gradually I started to like those Analord ep's (1-4)

that occured listening to them using headphones (and being
really relaxed) while I was reading the post that Richard
wrote at the Planet µ forum... Now I feel really ashamed
for my previous post. In my case I recognize that I must be
in a special mood for apreciate them, just that.

the opinnion about Radiohead remains intact.

popular music and art.

I know what a landmark album Sgt Peppers is for pop music,
the production does sound magical, I've read books on it and
heard it hundreds of times probably.

But when it comes down to it, I prefer the songs on other
albums. Lovely Rita, Shes Leaving Home, Within You Without
You, When I'm Sixty-Four and Good Morning Good Morning are
sub-standard Beatle songs, all the members have done far
better. Good Morning Good Morning was a song about John not
being arsed to write songs properly for fucks sake.
