You have 60 seconds to name a rock band from the last 25 years that is both critically acclaimed and culturally relevant. Please note that commercial success is not synonymous with cultural relevance.
Impossible Mode: No Nirvana.
Oh wait, you can't.
R.I.P Rock
Please note:
>The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Queens of the Stone Age, The Mars Volta, Franz Ferdinand, The Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, Bloc Party, The Libertines, Blur, Pulp, Suede, and Interpol are not culturally relevant, all of them are fad artists associated with a certain 3-5 year timespan with no real longevity or standing cultural relevancy. You're not going to hear their music being played at a high school dance or have a large number of normies sharing them on Facebook the way you would a contemporary hip hop artist like Drake or Kendrick Lamar.
>Jack White is not a culturally relevant artist. Seven Nation Army may be a culturally relevant track but having only one culturally relevant track indicates a lack of longevity and thus a lack of cultural relevance as artists. See also: Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer, Los Del Rio (not rock artists but it's a fair analogy).
>Muse, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Tool, Kings of Leon, The Black Keys, Pearl Jam, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Blink-182, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Mumford & Sons, and Red Hot Chili Peppers are not critically acclaimed.
>The Flaming Lips, Sufjan Stevens, Tame Impala, The National, The Hold Steady, Dinosaur Jr, Deerhunter, Mac DeMarco, Porcupine Tree, Beach House, Ween, Titus Andronicus, Bon Iver, Pixies, Spoon, Pavement and Modest Mouse appeal to a far too niche demographic to be considered culturally relevant. This is also true for all metal.
>R.E.M., Bruce Springsteen, and U2 have not been critically acclaimed in the last 25 years.
>LCD Soundsystem, Radiohead and Arcade Fire are not rock bands
who cares
it may not have any place in modern culture
it still has a special place in my heart
>>70642389
name a culturally relevant and critically acclaimed artist or group that is NOT rock
no michael jackson was not critically acclaimed
>LCD Soundsystem, Radiohead and Arcade Fire are not rock bands
you're retarded
Does rock need a rock star in order to be mainstream again?
rock will never be mainstream again
Rock is mainstream
>>70642239
your average person couldn't name a rock band that debuted in the last 10 years.
/mu/, what is your favorite album to listen to while tripping?
Mine's Pet Sounds and Here Comes The Indian
Not albums but you get the point
anything krautrock or dadprog
Free jazz(any jazz really)
Chopin
Math rock
Atmospheric black metal(only if tripping at night)
I was taking lsd at least once a week for about 2 and a half months before I ran out last summer and this was what I've found to be the best music for psychedlia
Shrooms are a very different story because its usually a darker atmosphere so I like cheery psychedelic rock
>>70641558
Jazz is pretty underrated in terms of tripping music. I remember listening to Bitches Brew while tripping for my first time and it was insane.
>>70641607
I can't listen to bitches brew without thinking of acid
It just sounds like acid to me
Who are your favorite female singers in terms of vocals and not looks or stage presence.
>>70641191
Grimes, Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins), Kate Bush and Emily Haines (Metric). They have the purest voices I've ever heard.
I like Solex's high and nasally vocals despite having seen some people saying she doesn't sound good. Kate Bush too mostly but sometimes it can get a bit grating.
Liz Fraser and Björk
I think Viper needs money O:
he must be 700 dollars short on his rent
love that he rounded 50 dollars down to 49 dollars to make his offer seem even a little more appealing
>>70639685
JUST
Thoughts on the new album?
shitty season and an even more shittier album
>>70636804
Sup anon wanna make our own music forum to discus strictly Migos? /mu/ is full of fags
Hands down most important album of the decade
and that all you faggots listening to it are literally retarded. Thanks for propping up a shitty music industry.

>>70635629
The word "better" is subjective, based on personal experiments,comparisons and observations, and in the case of sound quality is very personal. We could make the statement "CD sounds better than Vinyl" and the previous statement would apply.
>>70635666
Nah. The audio being reproduced from a vinyl record is objectively lower quality than the source material. You cannot rely on a medium made of fragile plastic, played by having a diamond needle dragged across it, to reliably hold your high quality audio.
The dB and frequency response ranges of Vinyl are objectively worse than other formats, meaning you literally are not hearing the music that the artist recorded.
>>70635629
Actually, calculating objective sound qualities of the sound (like PSNR, MSE, compression coefficient) is kind of missing the point. Human hearing apparatus is far from being perfect, and all the approximations of "what's the best for sound objectively" come from mathematical operations usually done on soundwave approxiamtions through white/pink noise and sine waves. The psychoacoustic tests that are done on these simple types of stochastic signals and sound waves are usually showing a correlation between objective quality descriptors and what people think is best, but when it comes to such extremely complex waveforms as a musical piece, the tests often display a sort of dissonance between what should we percieve as best (the least compression, best SNR, least linear distortion) and what most test subjects hear as the best.
Therefore it's neigh on impossible to find one "objective" best way to listen to music, as the perception of quality of sound files/storage media containing music is much more based in subjective things.
tl;dr: what actually can be calculated as best and what is often perceived as best in audio is of low correlation
When the hell did Roundabout become a meme song?
>inb4 implying it wasn't already
IN AND AROUND THE LAKE
>>70634349
it got hit with a one-two punch from GTA V and JoJo
>>70634349
When it became the ED for the first part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Western anime fans have always been meme spouting subhumans but for some reason JJBA attracted the worst of these and has never truly recovered. For a while it wasn't too bad since the average weeaboo doesn't read much manga (don't know why) so people could read JJBA as it was being scanlated while,only having to tolerate ancient memes from the video games, but the anime basically killed that.
Does anyone have legitimately happy albums? I don't care how corny it is, I want something that is pure, joyful and innocent. Thanks a lot guys.
You might like Vulfpeck if you say you don't care how corny it is. I can't stand them, too cheesy for me.
>>70632176
Thank you for your recommendation, I will check them out!
>>70632146
Listen to some Phish live shows
Also Sly and the Family Stone, Passion Pit and fun.
Can I get some essential albums to skateboard to?

Disraeli gears
jimi hendrix
Its not /bleep/.
What music like these do you enjoy?
What have you been getting into lately?
Anything you are looking forward to?
schematic records' house of distraction is the most consistently good compilation in IDM.
looking forward to a new second woman album, I heard there's something that's going to be following that ep later this year
This is beautiful. A Friday away from his norm but a lush start to 2017 all there same.
>The new album Music to Draw to: Satellite takes its name from a series of events that Koala convened in Montréal and elsewhere, where he played slower-paced, less beat-oriented records and invited attendees to draw. In keeping with that idea, the album consists largely of compositions that blend ambient pop and post-rock, punctuated by electro-pop numbers that bubble without boiling over. Many of these songs are underpinned by languid basslines and glacial synth melodies assisted by Icelandic singer-songwriter Emilíana Torrini.
