Pitchfork was always bad for music. It just took a while for it to become obvious. They seemed for a while to be mysterious and have good taste, but their pattern of hyping up random bands and them dropping them by their 2nd album got old.
they became the establishment
Here it is folks. The four greatest live albums of all time.

Legit question, no meme-ing (aside from the picture): Do you think he's right about The Beatles? I've never been too crazy about them and I found myself agreeing with him quite a bit when I read what he had to say about them the other day.
http://www.scaruffi.com/vol1/beatles.html (It's a long read if you haven't read it already.)
Some snippets:
>"In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from."
> "Hopefully, one not-too-distant day, there will be a clear demarcation between a great musician like Tim Buckley, who never sold much, and commercial products like the Beatles. At such a time, rock critics will study their rock history and understand which artists accomplished which musical feat, and which simply exploited it commercially."
>"The Beatles sold a lot of records not because they were the greatest musicians but simply because their music was easy to sell to the masses: it had no difficult content, it had no technical innovations, it had no creative depth. They wrote a bunch of catchy 3-minute ditties and they were photogenic. If somebody had not invented "Beatlemania" in 1963, you would not have wasted five minutes of your time reading these pages about such a trivial band."
lol no
i read it for a laugh sometimes though
No, they were fine pop craftsman and had too important an influence on the direction pop and rock took despite sometimes being coattail riders.
>>72686158
all three statements are kinda correct, especially the first. their original fans liked them because they made a lot of accessible pop songs. also popular music reviewers are all trash. however, where he is wrong his statements that they were never technical innovators or had creative depth. if he's listened to eleanor rigby and still believes this then he's just the contrarian everyone says he is.
toughts?

What a fucking racist
>>72685816
He's right about rapPING being what he says it is, but hip hop, of which rapping is a part of, is music. Reciting poetry isn't music, reciting poetry over musical backing is music.

she got memed after the bnm then forgotten about. its mediocre as fuck but misogynisyst, racists, and right wingers like to comment on her appearance and degrade her.
what are some /mu/ related movies? specifically, BAD movies. pic related is one of my favorites to hate-watch.
what didn't you like about the film? you gotta give credit to val kilmer though for actually singing in most of those scenes
>hate-watch
lmao this is great

even if you like the doors (i don't), Jim Morrison in that movie is the most unlikeable piece of shit ever. he did sing a lot but that doesn't make it a good film
