This is literally the single best band of the 70s, if you disagree

I think Can is but I respect your opinion.

Nah

I'm not gay enough for glam rock

>>73334473

Their first two albums, sure, but they went downhill fast after Brian Eno left. Stranded is their last good album, and it's by no means a 10/10.

>>73334534

Nobody on /mu/ likes Steely Dan. It's a shame, but there you go.

>>73334722
But Country Life is their best

>>73334752
>Country Life is their best

LOL, no way. Country Life is where the train wreck starts. Eno has been gone for two albums now and none of his influence is left. The music is overblown, and everything is focused on Brian Ferry, whose glamboy crooner persona gets real tiring real fast. The first two albums are GOAT, and Stranded is good -- after that, everything is increasingly meh.

>>73334829
Country Life is thier most detailed and focused album. Not a single weak track, it comes together wondefully

>>73334829
I love Bryan Ferry on that album. Increible amount of personality

>>73334874
>>73334899

It's nice that you enjoy it/him, and everyone is entitled to their own taste. But the objective fact is that Roxy Music post-Eno just wasn't as good.

>>73334829
>Eno has been gone for two albums now and none of his influence is left
Not inherently bad

>overblown
Vauge weasel word

>focused too much on Bryan Ferry
Prrettt subjective, but I like him

>>73334975
>Prrettt subjective

Sure it is. But I have evidence on my side -- there's no denying who's had the much more successful musical career. Eno is the more talented of the two and the band just wasn't as good when he left. Bryan Ferry is good, sure, but he's not good enough.

>>73334473
That's not the Ramones

>>73334729
Oh. New are you? Fair enough.

>>73335142
Found the summerfag

>>73335254
Yep, what an argument, really got me there mr oldfag

>>73334534
This is the correct answer

>>73334534
The definition of wasted talent.

>>73335142
Oh, you mean the band which uses 5 power chords per song at best? Surely the best band of our times.

I'd personally say pic related, you can argue that any of their first 6 albums is their best
>>73335561
Somebody fell for the "you need complex chord progressions to be good" meme

Can or King Crimson are the only correct answers

>>73335756
>Somebody fell for the punk is the true "avant-garde" and revolution meme
https://howgoodisthat.wordpress.com/2008/07/25/the-sex-pistols-a-manufactured-boy-band/
One of the great "revolutionaries" were a glorified manufactured boy band and a project of Malcom McLaren. And what's more, that's even talked about in this documentary.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0236216/?ref_=nm_knf_i3
Not to mention that John Lydon and Devoto saw punk for what it is.

>>73335561
Yes, better than you're wank shite

>>73335811
>>73335785

>>73335785
The Sex Pistols weren't the first punk band you bellend, and Lydon disliked rock in general

That's not Black Sabbath op.

>>73334553
pleb in denial

>>73335819
>The Sex Pistols weren't the first punk band you bellend
Yeah, proto-punk exists, I know, although it had nothing to do with the "punk movement". Sex Pistols was one of the most influential punk bands really and you know that.
>and Lydon disliked rock in general
Which means you agree with me.

>>73335785
>>73335819
And that doc speaks positively of punk's influence on post-punk

>>73335844
Replying with two different chains is a bit awkward, but I was talking about the Ramones not the Pistols, why mention them?

>>73335845
Sure, the attitude was there, but PiL was basically a prog band. Other similar post punk bands are very close to that description too.

>>73335858
>Replying with two different chains is a bit awkward, but I was talking about the Ramones
I got lost too.

Is it the same loser being autistic about every subject that comes up ITT


First sucking Eno's cock

Then trying argue the objectivity of his opinion

And now some ill-informed and nonsensicak diatribe about punk


Quell your autism, summerfaggot.

>>73335860
After much confusion, I now understand that the thread subject was for bands in general, not just rock. So yeah, even the Ramones aren't my favourite band, so I'll go on my way

>>73335878
And your post full of hominem attacks is so much more reasonable, right? Really puts things into perspective now, doesn't it?

>>73335896
You're still doing it

You're a fucking retard and an insufferable faggot, and you have single-handedly ruined this thread.

>>73335908
>No u
>Ad hominem attacks
Great argument. You sure contributed so much to this thread.

>>73335785
We're talking about the music and the music alone

>>73335956
And that music was despised by those who were the most influential bands playing it. So, what now?

>>73335976
Why should I care if they despised it? I enjoy punk music despite it not being technically astounding

>>73336021
>I enjoy punk music despite it not being technically astounding
It's not even entirely about that. I'd recommend watching that documentary.

>>73336046
>Why should I care if they despised it?
Doesn't that tell you something about punk in general? Like, how many musicians are that honest? And not just honest, they went even further and made even more uncompromising and unique albums with their new bands. And I can't "disprove" your personal taste in music.

There is literally NOTHING wrong with Avalon.

>>73334722
It's their only 10/10 tho

>ctrl+f Led Zeppelin
>0 results

>>73335524
yes, why would you spend 8 years on an album'a production if nobody (well almost) cares about the songs themselves?
Autism, that's why

Kraftwerk, motherfuckers

News to me -- this is the first time I think I've seen anyone say anything about them on /mu/. FWIW, I think they're really good.

>>73335524

LOLWUT.jpg

>>73337322

No, their first album is their best. For Your Pleasure is a very close second. Country Life is OK, and then the shit begins to flow. And, yes, I am thinking about Avalon.

>>73338094

The most influential German band, certainly yes. But the best? I prefer Faust, but plenty of other anons will choose Can instead,

>>73334473
>not Badfinger

>>73335878
>trying argue the objectivity of his opinion

But I gave only objective facts, anon. Eno has had a far more successful solo career than has Bryan Ferry. Eno has had a far more successful career as a collaborator than has Bryan Ferry. Eno has had a far more successful career as a producer than has Bryan Ferry. I'm sorry if these facts rustle your jimmies, anon. Untwist your panties and try to get over it.

>>73334510
This obviously

>>73338143
Can are certainly contenders yeah, so are Cluster and Tangerine Dream

Pink Floyd and it isnt even close
