Embarrassing Music Confessions

>I bought the $64 newspaper edition of king of limbs

Those last 2 aren't very embarrassing, honestly

Apple earbuds are actually pretty decent sounding desu. I mean, for a set of free earbuds, they sound better than some headphones I've spent money on

I know Fantano often has no clue what he's talking about but...h-he's just entertaining to watch...

I've barely ever listened to Radiohead. Leddit's insane love for it has turned me off.

>Pablo Honey was a really good album
>I still listen to Linkin Park and other nu metal bands sometimes because their songs are really catchy
>I thoroughly enjoy all the popular Pink Floyd albums that the contrarians say are shit
>The Beatles are alright, not bad but not that good
>I take great pride and great pride in updating my RYM ratings constantly and really enjoy judging and giving albums ratings, which is part of the reason that I even bother to listen to so many albums all the time
>I have more albums rated a 4/5 or above on RYM than all the others combined
>I listen to youtube versions of songs and albums
>I use $10 headphones for those Youtube mp3s
>I haven't even listened to 1000 albums yet
>I don't like most of the threads on /mu/ but I keep coming back for some strange reason

In high school, I wrote a piece about a well-known punk hero of mine for my friend's pop culture blog. It made some judgements about him, despite being positive, and definitely fell into the "fanboy" category to some extent. Years later, we ended up touring together, and I still don't know if he's read the article. It's currently on Page 2 of Google if you search his name.

>>70143543

What's embarrassing about HTTT? It's also my favorite.

>>70144085
You're not missing out on much imo. Very bland music.

>>70146302

My first experience with The Cure was 4:13 Dream, which I turned off almost immediately. Would've wrote the band off for good but then I heard Jack Off Jill's cover of Lovesong and gave the band a second chance with Disintegration. Needless to say, that went over much better, but these days I can even find some things to like about 4:13 Dream. It just wasn't representative of what I thought the band was gonna be at first.

>>70146766
Anything post-Disintegration isn't worth listening to imo

>>70146761

I wouldn't call them bland. Radiohead is very much a conglomerate of their influences and have a talent for taking said influences and distilling them into digestible pop form. It's overkill to call them the best band in the world or anything but they straddle the line between accessibility and, for lack of a better word, "experimentalism". I wouldn't say it's overkill to say they're one of the best entry level bands in the world.

>>70144354
>>I used to think nu-metal was the shit
you used to be right.

>>70146861

I dunno, Wish is a pretty great pop album and Bloodflowers was a nice little return to moody form for the band. I do like all their albums to some extent or another though, even the other post-Disintegration albums.

>>70145563
That episode was prob my favorite tbqhwy.

File: Lacuna Coil.jpg (20KB, 400x300px) Image search: [Google]

20KB, 400x300px

Lacuna Coil is still unironically one of my favorite bands, with Comalies being my all-time favorite album. I own all of their major releases in one form or another and, to my knowledge, have heard every song they've ever released, even the early death/doom demos that somehow didn't make the jump into their professional career.

>>70146861
Bloodflowers is good. Then again that's the album thats the album that got me into them when it came out.

>>70143897
Honestly agree desu

>>70147206

Out Of This World and Where The Birds Always Sing are two of their best songs IMO.

>>70143897
I agree with the former but not the latter. People can listen to what they want, but some music is inherently more intellectually stimulating and complex.
