/mu/ - Essential Rock

What's some shitty angsty indie rock that will make a girls pussy wet?

Rock beginner here, thanks for this diverse, essentials rock chart!

>>69459022
rock is a shit genre

I've said it once and i'll say it again.

/mu/core and "Essentials charts" need to be abolished.

>zeppelin IV
>raw power

it's not needed

>>69459062
Some genre-specific ones can be helpful if you are new to that genre and want a starting point.

The chart in op's clearly not the case tho

>>69459094

it's better than those though

>>69459022
Exchange Master of Puppets for Through Silver in Blood, Unknown Pleasures for Power Corruption and Lies, Blues Breakers for Safe as Milk, Led Zeppelin IV for literally anything else, Born to Run for Darkness on the Edge of Town, Ziggy Stardust for Transformer, The Dark Side of the Moon for Seven Up, American Football for Icky Mettle, Nevermind for Geek the Girl, The Doors for The Index, Morning Glory for Different Class, Ramones for Christ: The Album, The Queen is Dead for Scatology and maybe you have something.

>appetite for destruction
>better than raw power or zep IV

awful taste desu

>>69459111
this is not about catering to your taste, it's about providing a list of obvious essentials for rock. suggesting to drop nevermind, zeppelin IV and dark side of the moon from a rock essentials chart is ludicrous.

I will never understand what the fuck people see in Oasis

>>69459153
Except they're garbage and won't get anyone interested in rock or show them what it has to offer, it will turn them off if anything

>>69459153
>it's about providing a list of obvious essentials for rock

By not including pet sounds but putting songs for the deaf?

Why am i even giving "feedback" to this chart?

>>69459176
The same thing they see in The Beatles, cute boys making cute music

>>69459182
>and won't get anyone interested in rock
>three of most popular rock albums of all time won't get anyone interested in rock

do you even read what you write? you do realise that most people don't have your contrarian taste?

>>69459188
>pet sounds
>rock
>revolver is already there

>no Doolittle

More essential than any other alt. rock album imo, including Nevermind

>>69459211
Sorry, dad, I didn't realize you posted here

I just don't see how people in this day and age can be stimulated by such basic stuff that was only successful because at the time, the Internet and ease of access to under-marketed forms of music weren't available

>>69459022
I mean yeah, those are essential rock albums. A few of many. I guess I see what you're going for though. My suggestions would be replace Ramones with London Calling, Led Zeppelin IV with Led Zeppelin II, and Morning Glory with... Definitely Maybe? Is Oasis essential? How about Siamese Dream or The Blue Album? Actually the more I think about it the more I think you're in over your head.

>>69459153

i feel like AFD would be a better choice than either of those if you're trying to get somebody into rock music. LZ IV only has two memorable songs.

>>69459233
here's where you went wrong:
>I just don't see

>>69459240
>Ramones with London Calling,
Ramones are more proper punk. London Calling is closer to post punk which is on there
>Led Zeppelin IV with Led Zeppelin II
I'll consider this
>Is Oasis essential?
Only britpop on there, so yes
>How about Siamese Dream or The Blue Album?
Nevermind + Loveless + Ok Computer already basically covers this

>>69459265
here's where you went wrong:
> LZ IV only has two memorable songs.

>>69459062
I don't think /mu/core should be abolished. /mu/core are all the album that are essential to know to understand a lot of thread on the board. It should be explained that way not like "if you don't like that you're a retard"

>>69459062
Too late, it's ingrained culture now.

>>69459062
It's helpful for people who want to expand their tastes.

For instance, I wouldn't be listening to that Godspeed you, Black Emperor! album if it weren't for this thread.

current thoughts: nice and slow.

>>69459308
Not even their best

>>69459282
>Only britpop on there, so yes
I still say go with Definitely Maybe. Or Parklife.

>>69459194
The Beatles have their moments though. I have tried so hard to Oasis as anything other than pure garbage and just can't

>>69459431
I can get behind Houses of the Holy, but I'm on team Raw Power, not Appetite.

>Nevermind over Ten and Dirt

nah m8

>>69459308
"nice and slow" just doesn't fit this album at all

>>69459022
What an unbelievably bad chart. Why even try to make one for an umbrella genre you top fucking retard

no mars volta? fuck your list

>my favourite album isn't on the chart
>fuck you OP!

>>69459531
>OP lists his favourite albums
>claims it as the '/mu/ essential rock' chart

Don't claim something as a definitive board list if you don't want people telling you it's shit and why their favourite albums should be on there instead

>>69459022
Thanks for this, 320gb on my hdd but not started on rock yet.

>>69459505
It's not an umbrella, it's a genre with subgenres.

We have a classical and jazz chart which are huge genres compared to rock.

>>69459573
>OP lists his favourite albums
i don't even like literally half of the albums on these charts

>Don't claim something as a definitive board
I'm not saying it is yet, hence why i'm trying to let people add their input. People are just being stupid because their favourite album isn't on there. my favourite album isn't on there.

>>69459022
the classics section here is probably the best, though it is missing things that are included in /mu/core

>>69460120
that's why too broad and not even all of it is rock

>>69459282
>Only britpop on there, so yes
Is Britpop essential?

>>69460952
it's one of the most popular rock genres, so yes.

bob dylan?, can, joy division, gspy!be, smiths??? jesus christ who made this crap? the fat kid that everyone mocked in the gym class?

>>69459503
>liking teen suicide
cuck

>>69459022
Pretty good list. I'd add doolittle somewhere.

>>69459107
Appetite for Destruction is trash compared to LoopZoop4

Didn't my chart bet your chart in the strawpoll?

Whatever its not like it even matters, no one meeds help getting into rock music on /mu/.

>>69461853
>everyone listens to degenerate guitar music

>>69461853
*needs

Shit my bad

>>69459022
>>69461853
why soundtracks for the blind, it stands out too much
You should have chosen Great Annihilator or one of their late 80s albums which at least sound a bit like rock

>>69461910
Also Spirit of Eden instead of Laughing Stock

>>69461910
I at least put SFTB because:

1. Most popular Swans album on /mu/
2. Great gateway into experimental avan-garde rock

>>69461921
There very similar so I could see it going either way but LS is discussed here more.

Also OP basically copied my chart

Why would you have Oasis on there and not say The Pixies?

>>69462062
Cause OP is dumb.

His original chart had the Black Album AC/DC and three grunge albums

>>69459282
>Only britpop on there, so yes
At least go with Different Class or Parklife instead.

>>69460120
Haven't seen this one before. I like it.

>Oasis
>no Noise Rock

>>69459224
This

Wtf no Pixies or Zeppelin or Hendrix but you have Ian Curtis and Cobain so you can tell this chart was made by teenage girls.

>>69459094
zeppelin fucking sucks tho

>>69462546
>what is Sonic Youth

>>69462777
>no Zeppelin

>>69462918
shit taste confirmed

>>69462777
This is actually a true observation

Pretty sure we can all agree on this

>>69459062
I got into music with /mu/core and now I'm the pretentious fagot I've always dreamt of becoming.

>>69459111

>Blues Breakers for Safe as Milk

holy shit, end your life

>>69462777
Are teenage girls still into Curtis and Cobain? Don't they have contemporary versions to wet their panties over?

>>69461081
One of the most awful rock genres more like. Even Blur or Suede would be better than Oasis but they suck too.

>>69465133
lead singer of the 1975

>>69459086
hi 90's guy

>>69459022
I would exchange Revolver with Sgt. Pepper which I think epitomizes the link between rock and roll and progressive rock. I'd also put in Pet Sounds, Funeral, and Kid A because they're some of the most frequently referenced albums on the board.

>>69459182
>they're garbage
Hundreds of millions would disagree, lol

>>69459040
Arctic Monkeys

>>69459060
Go listen to classical and free jazz and fuck off
