Threadly reminder:

A bit too "lol look at how indie I am" but I wouldnt call him a pleb. Also Fun House is the superior album.

Just based on The Knack - Get The Knack, Patrician.

definitely patrician. i love this list, there's some great stuff in there
keep in mind this was made before the internet

>Young God is better than Soundtracks For The Blind


No he's not, he's an idiot.

>>68943769
>Swans

is he our guy?

>>68943801
this

>>68943810
>Studio album (double album) by Swans
Released 22 October 1996
>Died April 5, 1994 (aged 27)
Seattle, Washington, U.S.

>no mention of Meat Puppets
>half of Unplugged is a Meat Puppets cover album

u wot m9

>On March 18, 1994, Love phoned the Seattle police informing them that Cobain was suicidal and had locked himself in a room with a gun. Police arrived and confiscated several guns and a bottle of pills from Cobain, who insisted that he was not suicidal and had locked himself in the room to hide from Love

Why didn't we listen to him, /mu/?

>>68943862
You're a moron. Kurt died in 2004

so did he like Swans unironically?

>>68943889
Lets see the facts

>>68943940
Damn...

>>68943769
That's the band's list of favorite albums, not just his.

>>68943980
>implying Kurt wasn't the entire band

>>68943940
oh

What's Euronymous's top 50 albums?

>>68943940
reall makes you thin,

>>68943940
>>68944021
>>68944336
Why is everyone so surprised here? All /mu/ fags should have that date cemented into their head

>>68943801
fucking this, he had to look for those albums in small stores in washington or get them from friends-of-friends.

>>68943769
There is nothing patrician about listening to music especially rock out of all genres. If you're asking if he had good taste then the answer is yes, solely because it is unique even though some of them are shit albums like meet the beatles lmfao.

>>68943769
Fucking pleb. Animal Collective not mentioned even once. This fag should kill himself.

>>68943940
lol

>>68943769
as a listener, pleb
as a musician, patric...hahaha just kidding, also pleb

>>68944830
xDD ebin post my dude

>>68943769
He's pleb, especially in retrospect...however, he does need some credit for bringing attention to some of these gems in a world before the Internet

But for The Raincoats and Scratch Acid alone, I give him some credit

>>68944830
Bleach and In Utero are patrician

>>68945004
I can't tell if this is ironic shitposting.

>>68945502
not him, but In Utero is a sonically incredible album. Albini did wonders for making their sound more grimy. Songs like Milk It and Tourettes are a great mix on punk and grunge.

>>68945583
the Albini mix is even better

just go listen to the Albini mix of Heart Shaped Box

>>68944457
i forget that you guys are generally so young and used to pirating music that you don't remember the home taping days

you'd hear about shit for ages and then finally get a dubbed copy of a dubbed copy of a dubbed copy....only way to hear lots of the shit on that list at that point

i say patrician, if for no other reason than that shaggs lp

>>68943810
Young God is their best album though

>>68943769
Eh... you know, there's some good music on this list but it's all very much in spite of himself. There's a very persistent theme to all of it, which is largely non-musical. It's very much focused on attitude.

You could post this next time OP

>>68943769
he had a K records tattoo so he was cool imo

i like some of the stuff there: stooges, pixies, scratch acid, black flag, gang of four, young marble giants, r.e.m. (wrong record), beat happening (wrong record), etc.

>>68948222
k records is not cool desu. some good stuff released but calvin johnson is a complete knob. I can see it from my house tho :^)

>>68944457

at that time there were LOTS of independent radios,

doesn't have any death grips 2/10

Considering that he didn't have access to the internet back then he was somewhat limited in how patrician he could be.
Decent list though.

>>68945004
so is Nevermind you contrarian

>>68949164
>k records is not cool desu
why not
>calvin johnson is a complete knob
why

just wanna know

it has She Hangs Brightly therefore patrician to the core

>>68943789

>A bit too "lol look at how indie I am"

you are saying this about a guy who literally started a whole new genre of music that was so culturally huge in the mainstream that it altered the zeitgeist.

how you guys try hard sometimes.

I've literally only heard like 4 of these lmfao

>David Bowie, “The Man Who Sold the World”
>Not Diamond Dogs

kys faggot

>>68943769
I think a lot would change if he had a different voice, but still one able to sing well. Idk, he could go by on lyrics alone, but I feel like his singing voice is too "hey I'm edgy as fuck".

Dude had a really good taste in rock for sure

would kurt have liked kanye? which kanye album/song would he like if he did?

>>68949565
I think that pic just shows /mu/ trying too hard to go against the music snob idea that classic rock is flawless and pop sucks.

>>68943980
It was in his personal journal

sorry I don't think a bunch of incredibly similar loud rock bands are worth sorting through

I have half a century of jazz and funk to get me by

P.S. if you haven't heard that Frogs album get on it, its hysterical
