Spiderland [Touch and Go, 1991]
Out of Squirrel Bait by Hunglikealbini, a Trojan horse. Extolled for their multipartite songforms and, da-da, dynamic shifts from soft to loud, as well as their intimate knowledge of mental illness, these guys look like unassuming alternative types and in real life may be same. Their sad-sack affect fits right in. But musically--structurally, as one might say--they're art-rockers without the courage of their pretensions. And if you promise not to mention their lyrics they promise to keep the volume down. C+
Crosby, Stills, and Nash [Atlantic, 1969]
Rated by request, I've written elsewhere that this album is perfect, but that is not necessarily a compliment. Only David Crosby's vocal on "Long Time Gone" saves it from a special castrati award. Pray for Neil Young. B+

if christgau got started around ten years ago no one would know or care about anything he writes.
Fabulous Muscles [5 Rue Christine, 2004]
The musical parsimony, cultural insularity, moral certitude, and histrionic affectations of these lo-fi artier-than-thous promise indie ideologues whole lifetimes of egoistic irrelevance. "Why should I care if you get killed?" Jamie Stewart asks a "stupid" "jock" Iraq G.I. he makes sure remains out of earshot. He gets closer to the title sex object: "Cremate me after you come on my lips honey boy." But somehow one doubts things will end so exquisitely. C
does /mu/ only hate this album because it was popular?
I prefer In Utero but Nevermind is still great. If it never became a success, do you think /mu/ would praise it?
It's a great album that become insanely overrated
I mean it's 35th on RYM all time chart for fucks sake
>>69098443
Probably more so, but Nevermind is a bit overproduced. Its a great album but In Utero is better.
nevermind is easily their best album besides unplugged
in utero only gets its praised because of how kids wanna identify so bad with kurts cringe edgy lyrics
>>69098773
okay retard explain how its "overproduced"

why do people hype this album up so much? it's got some good songs, maybe even a few great ones, but it's simply not as good as their 70's output.
It's got some good songs, maybe even a few great ones, while their later albums only have boring songs

DISAGREE!!!!

Is Monty Got a Raw Deal the best Nirvana song that is not by Nirvana? If not, which one is?
No, but it's the worst REM song by REM. THIS is some real patrician shit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0Xpk99nl4E
>>69088728
Do you really think it's the worst REM song, or are you just meme-ing?
My vote goes for Tame by The Pixies.
Name a album with better guitar solos than this.

Who was the best Beatle?
http://www.strawpoll.me/11667061
I say George because he was talented (unlike Ringo), a decent guy (unlike John), and not blinded by profit (unlike Paul)
>>69095614
>people think the other 3 Beatles are anywhere near Paul's level
>>69095614
>still talking about this

>lived in a mansion

Ay my nigs, it's that time again: What is the "heaviest" album in existence, in your opinion? My vote goes to pic related. It just packs such a huge and quick punch. It's fast and lean, no bullshit. Perfect.
>>69088145
I honestly find myself coming back to this. Something about it, it just nails the tone and atmosphere, its aggressive and heavy without compromises. As close to a perfect metal album as any
>>69088145
>He chooses Reign in Blood
Good album but not the "heaviest" in existence.
definitely not anything with girlish screams like this lmao
also the lyrics are stupid
Dear /MU/
In 1999 Marilyn Manson masturbated in front of Australia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEhHkjqQmhY
Has any shock cock rocker done anything like this? Where is the degeneracy???
Are Die Antwood the only modern degenerate rockstars?
Look at this ridiculous outfit that Manson had his girl wear to the 1998 awards show- has any rocker topped this? Has anyone been this self aware?
At the 1999 woodstock festival Flee from the Red Hot Chili Peppers performed nude- does anyone perform nude now? What happened to American society, have we regressed?
Can we get a guilty pleasure thread going?
Post songs and bands you're ashamed you like.
Pic related for me. Their songs are so catchy, but I'd rather be caught jerking off to scat than listening to them.
Barenaked Ladies for me
