Shitty rapping with shitty lyrics over poverty techno beats and people say it's a classic or some shit.

And if you disagree you'll get flooded with people telling you that "you don't understand" or that "you had to be there to appreciate it". If it was truly great, surely anyone could appreciate its greatness?

>>61792603
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

anything by Kanye West

>>61792700
you didn't "have to be there" to understand that this was a great album. It's neither over or underrated. It's just rated

>>61792700
i mean even if you don't like the way the album sounds which is perfectly fair enough, the fact that it was almost entirely created by a 17 year old and basically spawned an entire new sub-genre of music all by itself is pretty impressive

abbey road

dark side of the moon

kind of blue

ok computer

it takes a nation of millions

Tie between OP and OK Computer.

>>61792875
Agreed.
>>61792828
Agreed on every count.

Using RYM as a frame of reference

Abbey Road
Dark Side of the Moon
OK Computer
Led Zeppelin IV
70s Pink Floyd
Metallica

>>61792731
It's so overrated.

The instrumentals sound like they were made on a Game Boy Color, which they probably were.

And, shit, people always complain about not being able to understand rappers like Future and Young Thug, but holy shit I have no idea what this man is saying, and when I do, I have no idea what this man is talking about. From the weird, overly abrasive voice to the fucking retarded slang terms. Oh, is it "Live O" Mr Rascal? That's great. Do you think I'm "Shoom!" and "Boom Ting!"? That's great man I hope that's a good thing.

>>61792654
Nah Kid A is a nice attempt at modern krautrock. OK Computer on the other hand reminds me of Skyrim for all you /v/ shitters in here: has a bunch of content, but none of the content is all that great and people rate it highly just for the sake of the fact that there's a lot not necessarily the quality of the "a lot".

>>61793309
>Do you think I'm "Shoom!"

Never mind, on second listen, I believe he thinks I'm "Choong!" Now I get what he's trying to tell me.

Not.

>>61792828
Kind of Blue isn't as overrated as the others. It's far too often recommended as an accessible first album (for jazz or Miles), that's for sure. It doesn't work very well without context.

>>61792654
>>61792663
Kid A is great you shits.

>>61793352

tfw ok computer is one of your favorite albums

I liked it, but too much rock and screaming for my tastes. Should I go on to Kid A, The Bends, or what?

that bowie album

>>61793470
>too much rock
Kid A is exactly what you're looking for. Krautrocky as fuck, and as a result has more in common with electronic music than rock.

>>61793470
kid a

ITT: Shit taste and pretension

>>61793660
>>61793567

Listening to it so far. I hate the self-titled album, Liked Everything in its Right Place, National Anthem just started. Nice riff.

>what's a classic album that you personally didn't enjoy?

>>61793309
>>61793386
chung tings and boom tings are both slang terms for attractive women
are you an attractive woman anon?
london?

>>61793309
>I don't understand the slang that comes from another part of the world
>that automatically means it's bad
Kill yourself. Not your fault you can't handle bars. Not to mention it's nothing like fucking chiptune so idk why you even brought a Game Boy Color up.

>>61792700
Stop making shit up like "you had to be there". You're obviously not from the part of the world where the music was made from so the ideas and concepts are totally lost on you.

It's good but holy shit do people overrate the fuck out of it

I'm 90% sure every kid who walks around wearing a Dark Side of the Moon shirt has never listened to the album

>>61794154

I used to own a DSOTM shirt when I was younger. I'd wear it despite only ever having heard "Money" and "Breathe". Now I've actually heard the entire album, 4-5 times over, but I haven't listened to anything else Pink Floyd.

Kill me.

>>61793794

>self-titled

>>61794188

I meant the song Kid A. I act retarded occasionally anon, forgive me. I got to National Anthem and stopped, I can't fucking stand this album. There's a fine line between electronic and rock for me.

Maybe it'll grow on me like OKC, but for now, I'm good.

>>61792654
Yep

>>61794243
Is this a real thing? Go listen to Idioteque off the album it's very obviously just electronic.

>>61794306

I enjoy electronic and rock, anon. But the electronic I like consists of RDJ, specifically SAW 85-92/RDJ Album.

>>61794154
It was a hugely influental record and years ahead of it's time tee bee aych.

>>61794332
So you only like an absurdly tiny amount of IDM? No love for, you know, the KRAUTROCK THAT IS THE REASON IT EVEN EXISTS?

>>61794482
>years ahead of it's time

>>61794492

Nobody's recommended me any IDM outside of Aphex. I still don't like Kid A, it took me 10 listens of Airbag over the course of a few months to think that OK Computer wasn't absolute shit.

>>61794513
Autechre - Tri Repetae (similar style as SAW85-92)

Autechre - Confield (similar style to RDJ/Drukqs)

Boards Of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children

Boards Of Canada - Geogaddi

Venetian Snares - Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett

Squarepusher - Hard Normal Daddy

next time don't just wait for others to spoonfeed you

That one OP.

Holy shits, this is the most overrated album from the one i like, from the one i dislike I should say animals, it is pretty bad, it sounds like if the PF just wanted to yell all around "WATCH ME I CAN BE TECHNICAL", but became too much technical and became a big giant mutual handjob

Definitely Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I'm a Beatles fan but seriously that album is for the most part shallow with nothing of substance besides A Day in the Life. It's always in talks of best album of all time and it's not even one of the Beatles best. Yeah, yeah it was revolutionary in its recording blah blah blah. I'm just not a fan

>>61794154
Great album, but yes overrated...

>>61792654
Grew up with Radiohead, so I can't hate any of their album as they hold huge emotional value for me. No matter how meme or "overrated" they get.

>>61797559
Fuck no. It's a beautiful classic, showing how noise can be used in a symphonious way.

>>61795990
This.
Not as good as Revolver, not as accomplished as Abbey Road, not as adventurous as the White Album, not as good songwriting as Magical Mystery Tour. Hell, even Let it Be had better songs on it.
It's basically the worst album of the second half of the band's existence, and the only album of theirs that I wouldn't recommend to friends.

>>61797570
Technical =/= Too technical, animals is just some big show off, DSOTM is actually much better.

learn the difference between overrated and influential

>>61797797
No
That it's not a very technically accomplished album is missing the point entirely.
It's basically the sound of being 19 and rich in a major city and partying all the time. The exuberance is what makes it.

>>61797671
Show me what good music looks like, anon. Let's see it

>>61797996
Sgt. Peppers is overrated though. I also mentioned that it's recording was revolutionary which is why it was so influential. But dude, rolling stone called sgt. Peppers the best album of all time. That's a fucking joke

ive never heard anyone call it a classic at least not on here though so idk if it's overrated it seems possible though, because this album is really good but dizzee has some garbage out there

Underrated/Influential Albums (in my opinion):

>Screamin' Jay Hawkins - At Home with Screamin' Jay Hawkins
>Sun City Girls - Horse Cock Phepner
>Young Marble Giants - Colossal Youth
>Bauhaus - In The Flat Field

>>61795990
This is the correct answer, simply because it's literally impossible for anything to live up to the INSANE hype of this fucking album.

>>61797717
You're an idiot

>>61800352
The guy literally hadn't experienced IDM outside Aphex. Shit like Beefcake, Mouse On Mars, and Secede's great, but I would rather he start with the basic shit first.

>>61792863
I really do love this album but it's literally only 4 chords

>>61800561
Of course if the music an artist makes as several instruments and effects, and they all fit togheter and contribute to the final product, its a significant advantage when this music is rated, my point is, the fact that some music is simplistic or not very complicated, doesnt mean the music is itself bad, anon said that the fact that ITAOTS had only 4 chords was a bad selling point, while i disagree as that really doesnt matter as long as the music itself is good, see minimal techno, for example

>>61792828

DSOTM is the best answer

>>61800402
feel like there's really no point as to why LET is saddled onto this 'FIRST/MOST INFLUENTIAL JAZZ RAP RECORD OF ALL TIME' praise other than the fact that it has upright bass & authentic percussion. it's really neither lyrically or instrumentally jazzy considering all tracks are in 4, mostly not swung without any experimental sax-solo-esque flows(like a busdriver type thing). smooth upright bass lines and drum grooves w lots of ride cymbal doesn't make it jazz. also gotta admit th lyrics are cheesy as fukk

>>61792700

So you are saying that if a single person doesn't appreciate an album it can't be great?
So great albums don't exist?
