General Music Discussion II

[Ancient Magmia]

2013 kind of sucked for me, but here's my list:

Snoop Lion - Reincarnated - 9.3/10
Ariana Grande - Yours Truly - 9/10
Tinashe - Black Water - 8.8/10
M.I.A. - Matangi - 8.7/10
Katy Perry - PRISM - 8.6/10
Zendaya Coleman - Zendayan - 8.6/10
Kacey Musgraves - Same Trailer Different Park - 8.6/10 (yes, this rating is for a country album...hell has officially frozen over )
Chance the Rapper - Acid Rap - 8/10
Chezidek - The Order of Melchezedik - 8/10
Protoje - The 8 Year Affair - 8/10

The rest are rated less than an 8 and weren't that significant...some are just downright horrid (*cough* *cough*Drake*cough* *cough*).

the only man i will ever date

obviously these are very likely to change

but it was interesting to do anyway

[Bezombia]

you chose interstellar overdrive but nothing from the big four?

[Corrian]

According to a file i found on my computer, mine were as follows as of the end of 2013

however, seeing as i've listened to a lot of stuff from 2013 that i hadn't heard this year, this will probably have changed a lot

10. Kanye West - Yeezus
9. Death Grips – Government Plates
8. The National – Trouble Will Find Me
7. Oneohtrix Point Never – R+7
6. Julia Holter – Loud City Song
5. Grouper – The Man Who Died at Sea
4. John Grant – Pale Green Ghosts
3. Fuck Buttons – Slow Focus
2. Dean Blunt – The Redeemer
1. Matthew E. White - Big Inner

I gave both the Death Grips and Fuck Buttons albums quite a high rating, as well. But like I said, I had to prioritize.

as a thread i think we're pretty obsessed with making lists

I think I may have started it when I decided I wanted to keep track of favorites better.

i have finally devised a top 10 for my favourite songs for each decade from the 60s, apart from the 00s and 10s where i have a top 20. god knows what it'll look like once this decade is actually over

Damn, I don't think I could actually do specific songs.

I approve of a lot of those but most of them, unsurprisingly, I've never heard.

[Calorax]

not a pink floyd fan in all honesty, but i prefer their psych stuff to their (in my opinion) vastly overrated prog stuff.

thanks! To be honest, I've most likely left something out

I dunno what it is, but I just feel like something's missing

You're not the only one. So does my dad, if I recall.

2013 kind of sucked for me, but here's my list:

Snoop Lion - Reincarnated - 9.3/10
Ariana Grande - Yours Truly - 9/10
Tinashe - Black Water - 8.8/10
M.I.A. - Matangi - 8.7/10
Katy Perry - PRISM - 8.6/10
Zendaya Coleman - Zendayan - 8.6/10
Kacey Musgraves - Same Trailer Different Park - 8.6/10 (yes, this rating is for a country album...hell has officially frozen over )
Chance the Rapper - Acid Rap - 8/10
Chezidek - The Order of Melchezedik - 8/10
Protoje - The 8 Year Affair - 8/10

The rest are rated less than an 8 and weren't that significant...some are just downright horrid (*cough* *cough*Drake*cough* *cough*).

I think the biggest one here that I find surprising is Katy Perry

[Bezombia]

Completely ignoring that you just called the second best selling album in history overrated, if you liked the Barrett stuff you should check out his solo albums (if you haven't already). I myself really couldn't get into it but if you're a psych fan it's worth looking at.

Best selling doesn't equal best quality.

[Bezombia]

Correct. But in this case it does. *shrugs*

yeah I think I might do

Admittedly though, most of the appeal of Interstellar Overdrive is in that introductory riff for me

and as Corrian noted, it could be the biggest selling album of all time and that wouldn't make me like it any more

[Ancient Magmia]

I think the biggest one here that I find surprising is Katy Perry

Surprisingly, I found it to be a decent album. It wasn't this cookie cutter, bubble gum crap I expected to hear from her.
But then again, I've always thought Katy Perry was one of the few tolerable mainstream pop artists out there, even some of her cookie cutter stuff...

tfw no black eccentric rapper bf

Kind of surprising to hear somebody say they'd date Tyler The Creator...

as a thread i think we're pretty obsessed with making lists

i have finally devised a top 10 for my favourite songs for each decade from the 60s, apart from the 00s and 10s where i have a top 20. god knows what it'll look like once this decade is actually over

Top ten songs by decade?

Geez, that's quite the task...

Correct. But in this case it does. *shrugs*

In your opinion

[Ancient Magmia]

But I thought Roar was the definition of cookie cutter pop music...

It was, but in a more tolerable way. More so than, say, Last Friday Night or California Gurls.

[Meryuma]

Completely ignoring that you just called the second best selling album in history overrated

Sales have nothing to do with quality. If you think something being popular means it's not overrated than you don't really understand the point of "overrated" as a concept. (I love DSOTM, for the record.)

9. Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band - Moonlight on Vermont (i know it seems silly choosing one track from this album, but i genuinely love this song

I'm pretty into Pachuco Cadaver and Sugar 'n Spikes myself. Just some really cool guitar interplay on those ones.

The concept of something being "overrated" itself is dumb. You're basically saying that something is objectively worse then it is subjectively perceived which doesn't even make any sense.
