ITT: Artists who are fans of artists you wouldn't have guessed

I hope Neil Young will remember, a Southern Man don't need him around anyhow

>>71919711
I mean they toured together in the 90s.

Mos Def like MF Doom

>>71919755

Trump: I remember reading about a composer named Steve Reich who came up with a new idea called phasing, which is like windshield wipers going in and out of synch. Apparently he was caught in a traffic jam one rainy day and the rhythm of the windshield wipers caught his attention and he applied what he heard to his musical compositions. He has had a significant influence on contemporary music, and I think he’s a great example of an innovator. Sometimes new ideas can come from something as mundane and functional as your windshield wipers. The key is to pay attention and keep your brain and senses open to new stimuli.

>>71919908
The more I find out about Big Boi the more I start to think he's the coolest rapper ever

>>71919908
Kinda unrelated but Big Boi is also a libertarian, which is rare among black people.

Samefag here. Danny Brown is a fanboy of St. Vincent.

Did you also know that XXXtentacion is a huge fan of The Fray. If that KID isn't bipolar I don't know what is.

dean blunt loves steely dan

>>71919711

Scarface also is a huge Pink Floyd fan.

>>71919997
I cringe when rappers namedrop non hip-hop artists as their favorites to seem eclectic, but Danny is actually sincere. He has good taste.

Kevin Shields likes Deftones and some other Nu-Metal

>>71921093
nigga plz.

That shit says more bout you then them.

And kek, at the one you picked out as 'authentic'.

>>71919711
But they (grunge) got him back on stage when he couldn't bum a rizla

>>71921125
why? he is sincere, if not please enlighten me. and what does it say about me exactly?

>>71921166
cuz he's and industry fraud and so is St. Vincent
I'll leave you w/ a pic of Andre 3000 wearing a Death t-shirt

>>71921166
>and what does it say about me exactly?
that you're dumb enough to think all rappers are one dimensional people?

>>71921192
Your baiting. They dont seem to be exiting out of the top teir of indie popularity anytime soon so I dont know why you think they're industry frauds.

>>71921221
Kek, you're fucking either a shill or stupid

there is no major/indie dichotomy in 2017


St. Vincent was at the (((Grammys))) for fucks sake, and gets shilled here on the reg.

>>71921199
Yeah I heard he really wants to collaborate with Lorde. Kids confused. He needed a mentor or someone to give him some positive reinforcement.

The guys from U2 were big fans of Joy Division, Einstürzende Neubauten, and My Bloody Valentine

>>71921268
Big time pop stars are getting billions of views on YouTube and Superbowl halftime shows. St. Vincent has 6 mil views on her most popular video after 3 years. Her Grammy award doesn't even get taped for tv. It's not song of the year.

>>71921293
How is that in any way surprising?


Now Bruce Springstein covering Suicide was weird.

>>71921310
kek, (((Youtube))) views.

Are you going to bring up Twitter followers next?


it's all a sham. But I suspect you know that.

>>71921316
Bruce was always big into the punk related scene back in the day so him being into Suicide isn't surprising. Just listen to Nebraska...

>>71921316
Joan Jett covering Lungfish was bizarre.

I guess this isn't surprising really because Bowie is based af and everyone likes Pixies, but I still love this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7VhNjZXALU

>>71921336
DUde everything is a lie and a sham /pol/ told me!

>>71921210
I don't.

>>71921394
I think the bigger surprise was him saying he was influenced by Death Grips and Kendrick on Blackstar

>>71921192
why are they industry frauds?

>>71921413
Like i need/pol/ to tell me that the mainstream music industry and Sillicon Valley are all lies and treachery.

>>71921336
There is obviously a gap between the height of her popularity and a major pop stars. Yes "indie" can be a marketing ploy but 2/3 of Twitter was freaked out by her SNL performance and were confused by her music if not outright hating it.And don't say shit about (((SNL))) because Arcade Fire, Bon Iver, and all the big "indie" bands have played it. It's doesn't mean shit to be on SNL. SNL doesn't mean you made it all it is a way to promote an album.

>>71921472
what are your favorite artists?

>>71921510
Sufjan Stevens, AJJ, Kanye

Death Grips' earliest interview cited obscure nazi blackened noise band Nyogthaeblisz as an influence
>They cite “human nature, deceit, sex and death” as some of their earliest inspirations. They’ve also taken cues from musicians like Nyogthaeblisz and Lil’ B The Basedgod, and artists like Sasha Grey and Chris Burden, who once described his work as the “acting out of an idea, the materialization of the idea”.

>>71921480
SHut the fuck up you god damn cunt. Fucking faggots like you should be shot

>>71921480
No dickhead. I'm straight up saying it's manufactured hype, and YouTube and Twitter 'stats' are too (this is proven).

>>71921540
On a similar note, I'm pretty sure David Pajo from Slint is quite a big fan of Grand Belial's Key

>>71921530
Kanyes huge though. Sufjan Stevens is a mainstream indie artist who is arguably bigger than St. Vincent (she launched her career because of him and she did backing vocals In Now That I'm Older), and and have a few hundred thousand views on their albums and are shipped on this board fairly frequently. Youre a hypocrite.

>>71921480
Arcade Fire (the gus was in the fucking Tidal commercial for fucks sake) & Bon Iver

I also don't like "indie", but you're still a retard. It's not fake, it is what it is, an industry. If you really think people are "shilling" when they like an artist from that industry, you're a sad person. Also, I'll take a wild guess and say that you're really into soundcloud rappers.

>>71921693
I don't know about paid but you'd have to be a fool to deny that this place is a hell of a way to get word about an artist. Seen it happen several times over the years. Remember the summer of Kreayshawn. Fuck. I do.

I assumed that was because of Fantano 10/10? I mean, so is Death Grips, though they posted here before, didn't they? That's the deal with them here?

Amoeba "What's in my Bag" series of videos on YouTube is a great way to find out what music artist likes.

Wouldn't be surprised. At all. Swans are shady.

A lot of American rappers from the heydey of Hip-Hop seemed to have an appreciation for white music. Lots of samples. Chuck D said he wanted Public Enemy to basically be the black Clash.

>>71922636
Yeah, samples probably had to do with it. But also hip-hop wasn't nearly as big then. Also Beastie Boys/Rick Rubiin.

And let's not forget, Kurt Cobain liked Public Enemy. Probably more love on both sides than you'd expect.

Trent likes Blixa. Idk if that's a surprise

I doubt Kanye even knows who Chan Marshall is, he probably saw that photo of her, thought it was cool and put it on a tshirt.

Walter Schriefels of Gorilla Biscuits/Quicksand/Rival Schools is a huge MBV - and especially Kevin Shields - fan. I read an old United by Fate-era interview in Total Guitar where he was gushing all over him. Also, 'Holding Sand' has a drum loop sample taken from the start of 'Soon'.

Ozzy say he likes Adele.

>>71919711
Not really that surprising. Have you never heard his noise album?

>>71928579
He talks about being a big Fiona Apple fan. It's hardly inconceivable.

>>71928623
How is this surprising? All those hardcore dudes liked MBV.

>>71922268
Proof noise is just mallgoth shit

I saw Chris Robinson from The Black Crows at a Ghost show.

Pete Townshend fucking LOVES Anime

>Japanamerica is the book I have been waiting for. It tells the incredible story of the way the colorful and eccentric world of Japanese entertainment and popular art has enriched our lives in the West. But it also deals with why it has a poetry that has taken Americans many years to understand and feel able to echo. Japan's holocaust was equally traumatic to the ones experienced by many Americans, and perhaps more sudden, more extreme and more focused. This story shows how today we all use movies, comics, music, art and advertising to face our past and its traumas, rather than to escape. The Japanese methods of facing the past are restrained and unusual, but ultimately glorious, and mean more to us in our post-9/11 era than ever they could before. Roland Kelts, part American, part Japanese, brings real insight to the way this union of hearts and souls through entertainment will continue to grow and draw two very different worlds together.”

Is he a 4channer?

Yeah, I'm thinking he's one of us.

Frusciante also likes TMR

>>71931561
Wasn't he busted in the same operation that outed Gary Glitter and Jimmy Saville? It seems that if Pete was acquitted but both Glitter and the late Saville had their reputations demolished, Pete really didn't do anything wrong.

Everyone knows this already, but some of these pics are pretty surprising.

>early Swans
>early Butthole Surfers
>the most patrician PiL album

>>71931592
He didn't have as extensive history (that we know of) as Glitter or Saville. Glitter and Saville raped children and other screwed up shit. Townshend just was trying to access CP, and I guess the British courts didn't want to crucify him.

>>71931592
>>71931622

His explanation was he was doing a documentry on the ease of access to Child exploitation material. To his credit, it wasn't a bullshit excuse and was released. He got a 10 year sex offender status for it, so it wasn't unpunished.

I think he was more of a case of dumb old grandpa trying to internet and failing hard. He really should have went to law enforcement beforehand about his project.

>>71919916
>I remember reading about a composer
>reading
Can't even be bothered to listen

>>71931656
Keep in mind this was in the early 90s where cp must MUCH easier to find just browsing around. The documentary Some Call Me Lucky also goes into this.

>>71931592
Was slightly off on this, Operation Yewtree was in 2012 and tons of british media personalities were outed as pedophiles and sex offenders. Townshend wasn't one of them, so either he's innocent or he kept his large nose very clean

Here's all the information about it with sources

>>71931733
Early 2000s, but w/e. You could find the stuff in a few mouse clicks back then.

>>71931746
His "research" goes back to 97 and his arrest was in 2003 so lets just meet perfectly in the middle

Pete got away with it because he's a respected member of a respected, seminal rock group while Gary Glitter looks like a sweating potato onstage and nobody but 50 year old women cares about it.

>>71921540
>artists like Sasha Grey

Yes I especially like her rendition of "I'm a whore fuck my ass daddy"

Probably what happened is that a judge went "Bloody hell, Tommy was my favourite album when I was 13. I couldn't possibly lock him up."

>>71931618
Damn Kurt was like the original /mu/core tastemaker.

>>71931790
She unironically is really into industrial music and has her own noise/industrial band. The one weird part is she got started in music around the same time Death Grips started, so I guess it's possible they could have been influenced by her so soon. I'm not really that familiar with Death Grips though, so they could just be goofing around.

>>71931801
He took a police caution and never went to court. He's since said he regrets not fighting it more as it made him appear as someone who was guilty making some plea deal

>>71931842
It's a possibility, but it seems so outlandish that I can't take anything like that seriously. It'd be like (forgive me for the crude comparison) The Beatles saying that Abbey Road was inspired by The Archies or something

>>71931781
I actually believe Pete's story. It sounds like bollocks at first, but a bunch of child abuse charities that he had been in contact with came forwards for him, and he was found to have never entered the site, which would be an odd thing to do if he was actually looking for CP to get off to. Plus he's never been accused of any other wrongdoing in relation to it other than that one time. I don't think the police would have let him off with a caution if they thought he was doing anything more than it.

>>71931972
The media, cancerous Sun Times tier british media in particular, fucking loves outing and subsequently (metaphorically) crucifying a pedophile, since it lets them have the moral highground that they crave with very little backlash or sympathy given to the subject of their article. The reason Pete got away was because there was nothing to stick him with. And someone with that level of fame where the exploitation of them could sell a lot of magazines, it's obvious he's innocent.

Yeah I agree with this guy, though I don't know how much Kanye would get down with early Cat Power. He could get into more recent stuff maybe.
