Imo she thinks she's so edgy and original when pretty much everyone ever had done the making fun of mainstream thing before.

Taking it to the level for Zappa for example did requires effort and actual talent.
I'm not like the other girls, I have REAL and ARTISTIC and DEEP opinions
>1950's - Rock and roll emerges out of blues and fuck shit up, and is quickly adopted by American Youth. Big Band and gospel music begins to fall from the mainstream. Parents warn their kids of the dangers of Devil's music. Good times are had. See: Chuck Berry, Ritchie Valens, Little Richard, Elvis.
>1960's - Rock continues its rise in popularity, and is no longer quite as demonized. The British Invasion happens, America is inundated with blues-inspired rock groups like the Rolling Stones and the Kinks. The Beatles become a worldwide phenomenon and pretty much own the Billboard Top 10 for years. It's also important to note that this is the time that artists like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez revived folk music as a medium for political and social commentary. It should also be noted that Soul music is still incredibly popular during this time, thanks to artists like Sam Cooke and James Brown. Motown records ends up with 79 Top Ten records from 1960-1969. Finally, Woodstock bookends the decade by solidifying Rock as not only a musical genre, but also a lifestyle.
>1970's - If there was any question before, it's been answered now -- Rock music is now the mainstream. Bands like Led Zeppelin, Foreigner, and Queen are able to fill entire football stadiums with screaming fans, giving way to the term Arena Rock. In fact, it actually became so popular and mainstream that you even saw sub-genres begin to splinter off in protest. Prog Rock, which originated in the late 60's, began gaining traction as a loftier and more experimental alternative to the somewhat formulaic approach to songwriting seen in most Top 40 songs. Punk music takes hold of the counterculture and rebels against the commercialization of rock music by bands like KISS. Disco emerges in the late 70's out of Funk and R&B, and America's relationship with dance music begins.
Fucking hope not.
no, it's too limited
If we kill Gene Simmons, maybe
ok /mu/, lets rank Bob Dylan's albums, you start
Desire > the rest

its one of my least favourites, shows how the man has a great discography.
Blonde on Blonde # fucking 1
I think it's pretty obvious to know who really caused the Beatles to break-up...
>>73456120
The CIA
>>73456120
It was Paul, but only because the band was falling apart anyway and he'd had enough of it. John had already quit, and George and Ringo had both walked out at different times only to come back.
>>73456120
their egos?
I've been trying to find good Yoruba music but almost all of it has bits in English for some fucking stupid reason. Why is that?
they speak english in nigeria
You know how English native speakers like to use gratuitous French/Russian/Japanese because it's cool and exotic?
Non-native English speakers have a similar attitude toward English.
>>73456222
Yeah but we don't do it in every fucking song. And I'd noticed that in other places, but even in other semi-English speaking places like India it's not this bad. I seriously have pretty much not been able to find a song that doesn't have any English, it's fucking disgusting.
i know its a silly request but im looking for intense noise albums, stuff like whitehouse where its agressive but not like merzbow or CCCC where its just aimless screeching
>>73455960
bump

double bump
even tho you said no merzbow, you should give satanstornade a try
I think some people don't know how to give albums a nice thoughtful listen so I decided to write about some tips on how to appreciate what you're listening to more.
>research the artist's history
Contextualizing the album can be very important. Looking up their personal history can give you an idea of what the artist is feeling and looking up how they fit in overall music history can help you appreciate what's innovative about the album for its time.
>read the lyrics
I think it's a bit of a mistake for people to ignore lyrics. If the artist put thought into writing them, then you should give thought into listening to them. Of course some artists don't have the most meaningful lyrics, but others can add a nice story to the song which makes it a lot more emotional and meaningful.
>look up music videos or concert performances
Sometimes a visual component is very important to an artist's style or message. It can add something extra to the music. Even if it isn't that important, it's still nice to see how they do things live.
>>73455939
>give things multiple listens
This seems kind of obvious, but I'm still shocked as to how many people don't do this. And no, this isn't about "forcing" yourself to like something. It's more about recognizing the whole shape to a song or an album. You can recognize things like if a long song has a recurring melody you won't notice on the first time, or if it's a concept album and there are repeating melodies across different songs. Also, it can make you more familiar with a melody so once you're done listening to a song for that, you can listen to and appreciate other aspects in the song as well.
>research music theory
Don't be intimidated! Some of it can be very complicated, but you don't have to memorize all the different sorts of scales and chords, and you don't have to learn what the difference between a D and a C note is. Just going into the basics can give you a nice vocabulary for you to discuss music better. If you know what dissonance means, or what a modulation is, you can be more aware of it in a song and its effects will be more effective on you as a listener.
Feel free to add your own tips on how to appreciate music more.
Bump for a great thread. Make a pastebin link. This could be a part of the sticky.
>>73455941
do people really not do at least a few of these things?
especially multiple listens. Most shit you never really know you like until a second listen, even moreso for things you initially hate. Chances are you'll like it.
Does /mu/ like Frank Ocean?

what KISS songs or albums are your favorite?
70s glam/80s cheese/90s reunion?
Paul/Gene/Ace/Peter?
>Tommy Thayer
delete this immediately
She, Black Diamond, Baby Driver
70s
Ace wrote better songs
>>73455602
Kiss were never good but their 70s glam stuff isn't bad. Their 80s cheese is unlistenable and their 90s reunion stuff is a hollow imitation of their 70s glam stuff.
