What is some music that will take some effort to appreciate?
I feel like I only listen to basic stuff, like TV tier frozen pizza where I just waggle my foot to whatever has catchy melodies in it
I want to listen to something more sophisticated

suck my cock
try this. it's "lowercase" music
>>73174128
No
>>73174145
Does this even qualify as music though?
I'm not dismissing it, but it's really just vague noises and not a lot of them

I might check around the classical thread to look at entry level stuff, smart idea Anon
I'm not sure if I can really "get" classical music and really get into it in a way, you know
>>73174492
The emphasis being on "music"

Is the one with the baby face on it a good place to start or should I go with the wolf or the teeth instead?
I'm sorry I do not know the album names, but I can picture them
>>73174594
Can you recommend something specific?
>smart music
You've been tricked by classical and elevator music listeners. Music is purely emotional understanding, there's no value or purpose to dissecting the songwriting besides to understand how to write songs yourself.

It's not just the words though, there's the noises, the composition and whatnot, too

There's a lot of great stuff, but here are some more accessible albums for getting into the genre before you branch into the stranger stuff
NEU! - NEU!, NEU 2, or NEU '75
Amon Duul II - Carnival in Babylon
CAN - Monster Movie
Try some of Blue Öyster Cult's earlier stuff. Like this one(their first album) or maybe Tyranny and Mutation
>>73174836
Yeah, that's included in songwriting, bub.
>>73174704
if you're being real:
a) don't worry about 'getting' music, just listen to it and take what you can from it. the more you listen to the more stuff seems to make sense, as it were. reading about music/history/context helps too
b) any sound can be music desu
c) start with to be kind or filth. soundtracks for the blind if you're feeling ambitious
d) faust s/t is my pick, but just look at any of the essential charts jeez do you want to engage with music or be spoonfed others' recommendations?

the first four albums are gold, personal favorite is secret treaties
>>73174074
Listen to art or "serious" music
>>73174846
Thanks Anon!

Should I listen to his earlier work and maybe some sort of entry level jazz music before I listen to Bitches Brew?
I hadn't actually thought about jazz music, that's a good call
>>73174856
I will check it out, thanks Anon
>>73174873
Thank you too, I will try and take your advice
>>73174815
dunno about you but i get enjoyment about dissecting and discussing music which i think is interesting in one way or another
Listen to progressive rock
