Besides Hotel California, what do you think is the most pretentious song?
Probably something on this album.
American Pie, easily.
Anything by John Lennon. It's unbearable how fucking cool he thinks he is. He also always sounds completely pissed off in his songs even if it's not an angry song. I don't know, he seemed to send out a lot of negativity into the universe.
peking o
any godspeed song

YES
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING WORDS TO MY THOUGHTS

>send out a lot of negativity
Not picking up good vibrations, what a pleb.
(in your weird cousins voice) haha yeah dude have you actually sat and listened to the lyrics to hotel california? that shits fucking deep.
you guys are stupid
song's can't be pretentious, only people can
pretentious doesn't mean "LOL it's so artsy and weird but not really" No it means someone that pretends to have more knowledge or meaning than they really do.
No album is pretentious, but the people that think there are are actually the pretentious ones.

i think it's really stupid to call music pretentious because being pretentious has produced a lot of great, creative, and challenging music
that being said i still have no qualms with posting six degrees of inner turbulence
Fitter Happier or Imagine. The messages in the songs, "modern life is killing us" and "war is bad", are delivered like Radiohead and Lennon are the first people ever to come up with them.

A pretentious song has the attitude of "this is blowing your mind" but isn't actually doing it. Either the creator's not as smart as they think, or their audience isn't as dumb as they think.

this pseudo intellectual shit has to stop, obviously it wasn't meant as a direct personification of a song it means the inspiration behind the song is pretentious etc you are the same as people who correct people's grammar on youtube comment sections
ITT: a complete lack of understanding what pretentious means

you're literally misunderstanding the word of understanding you smelly cunt

>gets objectively blown the fuck out
>proves this by lashing out unnecessarily
>>68881400
>war is over
>everything with Yoko Ono
If he hadn't been with The Beatles, his name would be even more synonymous with pretentiousness than it is now.
But to hear people talk, he was a genius saint who never once beat his wife.

How is Hotel California pretentious? It's definitely over rated, but I don't see how that's even remotely the same.
>>68881019
inb4 someone says "my music"
Now that is already a sign a pretension right there that you would mention your own music in a thread and not link it :/
