Prog rock :^^^^^^^^^^^)

Synthpop: Depeche Mode - Violator.

Entry-level albums are almost always the best the genre has to offer. Don't @ me.

You all failed the test, OP meant "where the most popular release is also the best album of all time".

Loveless being the best album of all time, the only answer is "none"

i win

Yeah but it isn't really post rock, a prototype at best. It's more mathy.

And even if you count it LYSF is much better anyway

>>71013469
This is actually true most of the time. After that, only diminishing returns (the more obscure albums are almost always worse than the entry level albums).

Industrial rock

>>71013199
Flying Saucer Attack's s/t desu, although this is probably #2

>>71013329
This is not the most popular space rock album, that honour goes to LAGWAFIS. The best is probably a Spiritualized or Spacemen 3 album anyway, maybe LGM or Perfect Prescription

Talk Talk >

>>71013387
That's far from being the most popular post rock release, anon.

>>71013715
Talk Talk is even less post rock than Slint is. When will /mu/ learn that being influential upon a genre does not mean it IS that genre?

>>71013715
To be entirely honest it was between Stratosphere and LAGWAFIS, I posted my personal favorite

>>71013611


this one works i think

>>71013749
Don't try and bait me into genrefagging, you don't get to decide what does and doesn't belong to a given genre. That's for everyone else to decide. And guess what? The consensus is out - it's post rock. Tens of thousands of people including every professional reviewer out there have decreed it so. Deal with it.

jesus fuck you anally retentive retarded rockfags and your microgenre bullshit

>>71013874
It's not our fault that rock music actually has the capacity to be structurally and sonically diverse enough to have genuine subgenres you butthurt memerap cuck.

What album is this? Pardon my ignorance

Slint - Spiderland

get ready for I MISS YOU

>>71013874
why are you even on this thread

>>71013920
>Pop/Rock » Alternative/Indie Rock » Shoegaze

>Shoegaze is a genre of late '80s and early '90s British indie rock, named after the bands' motionless performing style, where they stood on stage and stared at the floor while they played

> structurally and sonically diverse

ahahahahahaha kys

>>71013981
you are an idiot

>>71013995
Does it say in the OP, ''make up pointless, meaningless subgenres of rock ONLY where the most popular release is also the best''.

No it fucking doesn't you moron.

>>71014026
>Emo /ˈiːmoʊ/ is a loosely categorized rock music genre characterized by expressive, often confessional, lyrics.

Wow, best give that a whole new genre name because they sing about >tfwngf, no other rock band does that, right

>>71013367
The most popular release in Emo music like likely a My Chemical Romance album like The Black Parade. American Football is incredibly, incredibly unpopular and underground in the grand scheme of things. 99% of emo kids have probably never even heard of them.

>>71013989
I'll probably listen to it tonight because I've seen it thrown around a lot. What should I expect from it?

>Psychedelic rock is a style of rock music inspired, influenced, or representative of psychedelic culture, or intended to replicate and enhance the mind-altering experiences of psychedelic drugs, most notably LSD.

So thats rock by junkies, best give those degenerate fucks a whole genre label too

>>71013800
Lol just not true

>>71013495
Fuck you.

>>71013874
Don't tell me you're an electronic fag. If you are, you're in no position to complain about too many microgenres.
