>loveless isnt the best mbv album
>the bends is the best radiohead album

the bends is a shit show of boring alt rock
fuck it

>>72849259
mbv's objectively best album is Isnt Anything. Loveless is style-over-substance wankery. Its good but not the best MBV did.

whether kid a or the bends is best depends on when you were born

>>72849314
you only think its style over substance because it's more of a textural album than isnt anything. it's far more about the layers of guitar noise, the way they interact with each other and layering of vocals. the pop songs might not be as well written but they work as best as they need to.

YHF is at the top baby you're all wrong

>>72857973
YHF was a visionary album which suffered from poor, lifeless studio performances. Those songs have a lot of potential which was only realized once Wilco updated their lineup, the addition of Nels Cline being particularly key here.
I can't help but feel the studio performances on YHF were dull and lifeless after hearing much better musicians play those songs.
Sky Blue Sky is an impeccably performed album with great songwriting and audiophile quality production. I will never buy into the idea that an album executed this well is somehow lessened by its sound being "dated." Good music is timeless.
AGIB wasn't nearly as dull or lifeless in its studio performances... I suppose watching the YHF documentary explains this quite well. Jeff wasn't in a great place during YHF.

>>72858079
I'll add that if YHF contained studio performances equivalent to the live performances of those songs I've seen/heard with the Sky Blue Sky and onward lineup, I'd probably rank it #1. It was Tweedy's most creative, unique album, but it was executed poorly IMO.

>>72857413
Correct, The Devil & God was trying very hard to be thematic and say something profound.

>>72850481
u right tho

>>72857413
This isn't Daisy

>>72858079
I personally the dull lifelessness of YHF contributes to it as whole. Rather than feeling melancholy or blue or glum it feels defeated. It builds in places but never swells, and slows but never drags. Everything is in its right place to convey a wholly unique mood.

>>72858878
>but never drags
Here's where we differ. That whole album is a fuckin' drag to me for the reasons I stated above. I can see your point, though, and I respect it. I acknowledge that its dull lifelessness may be an intentional artistic statement, and I proclaim that no, sir, I don't like it.

If frozen in this style of their career, Radiohead would still be considered one of the greatest rock bands.
