Try Everything in it's right place by Radiohead, very interesting from a harmonic and rhythmic standpoint and most people probably won't think you're a complete and utter autist (Not that you are for liking any of those things you mentioned but normies gonna norm)

Depending on how far you're through the course, some of this might have stuff you have not learned yet.

>Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - Frownland or Veteran's Day Poppy
More easily digestible than say...Ella Guru off that album. There's that popular analysis of Frownland of that one YouTube guy.

>The Beach Boys - Any track works from Pet Sounds but God Only Knows might be the most impressive
Go to their wiki page or countless other places that have laid out the brilliance on this record. Beatles stuff works as well.

>King Crimson - Red

>>73896016
Don't be that cunt who goes full tryhard and brings in something super complicated. You won't look cool/patrician if it's something not even you can analyze, or if it has shit in it that you all haven't even learned yet as a class. Just pick a song with simple enough chords and changes that you and your classmates will actually be able to analyze it. Pretty much any pop song should do really well for what I'm assuming the prof wants you to get out of the exercise

Runaway by kanye west

>>73896016
Just do a simple but good sounding song...

Maybe NMH, Strokes, Tomorrow Never knows, or anything off Pet Sounds

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPf5jK2qkbY

Zappa's Little House I Used to Live In is the only rock composition - yes, composition - that you can bring in without looking like a knuckle-dragger.

Good Vibrations. There's a lot going and it's a relatively well known song.

Play this song OP and people will instantly respect your superior taste.

or just play lumpy gravy to be a true music connoisseur

>>73896095
>>73896120
Oh boy.
It's a novelty record guys.
That's about it. Other wise its a scam, a spook, a Rothko if you will. Which bares no substance yet you buy into it.

Let's remind ourselves that that Don was mentally ill, never had the discipline to learn an instrument himself and physically & mentally tortured his band. Not to mention, he kept all the money himself and was deeply paranoid when reporters would ask about his Trout Mask band and whether they got payed or not.

The drummer who transcribed all of Dons work was mentally & physically abused so much that he had a problem coping with the outside world after TMR and turned full Jesus freak. Too many acid spiking and beatings.
Don is a hack, most of his life is a fabricated lie and you take that to the bank.

Go ahead and play TMR in your class, see if they don't look at you like a disgusting freak.

OP is going to bring in something way beyond his or his class's understanding, they won't be able to analyze it decently at all and he'll look like an asshat. B-b-but at least he's ""patrician"" in the eyes of his fellow high school students who probably don't listen to much outside the top 40

>>73897094
That's why I said I don't want to look like a retard. I want something accessible but still patrician. BTW it's a college course, I'm not some underage faggot.

Why is /mu/ so unnecessarily hostile?

>>73896420
>God Only Knows
this to be honest friend
not pretentious, not autistic, and still plenty of things to analyze

>>73897160
christ, just pick a beach boys song

just bring in a song you like you fucking sperglord and stop trying to seem cool, that's the least cool thing you could possibly do

>>73897080
I mean it's not like it's an amazing record, but there was some intent behind TMR.

Honestly one of the more accessible songs might be fun to analyze OP.

>>73896055

>>73896016
You are in a intro to music theory course, bring in a simple and short song.

>>73896075
this OP play Starless and you will be the coolest kid in class

>>73897235
Nice one, dude!

>>73897254
Red is shorter than Starless, people will hate OP if he brings in that long of a song. Either are good choices though.

Just to clarify, I mean long by pleb standards.

Red is a repetitive snorefest compared to Starless even considering that Starless is twice as long
but >>73897378 is right honestly

>>73896075
^^
you'll seem cool if you do this and you'll probably get bonus cool kid points with your professor for having edgy taste

>>73897378
I'm not trying to attack him, but I think OP is an awkward teenager going through his 4chan phase. No way he could pull this off. Maybe if he plays something truly patrician he will get the respect of the weird but decent looking art major.

I agree with what you're saying but who the fuck are you

Comus - Drip Drip (Prog Folk song about necrophilia with a 5 minute drum intermezzo and some great fiddling, 12 minutes)
Godspeed... - Sleep (just great all around, but ~20 minutes long)
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells pt. 1 (Minimalist new age prog rock, the opening piano portion was in The Exorcist, 20 minutes)
Magma - Hortz Fur Dehn Stekehn West (shorter operatic zeuhl song, 9 minutes)
John Fahey - What The Sun Said (complex country blues guitar piece with a cool chord progression, 10 minutes)
>>73896075
Fracture (or FraKCtured) is the best KC song for analyzation, probably. Some crazy fuckery going on there.

>>73897570

While Any Colour You Like is instrumental, it has been speculated that the song ties to The Dark Side of the Moon concept by considering the lack of choice one has in human society, while being deluded into thinking one does. It is also speculated that the song is about the fear of making choices. The origin of the title is unclear.

The first half of the song repeats the same few notes on the keyboard except they play it faster, slower, backwards. and forwards to create the illusion of listening to different things. It cleverly shows how people are mislead into thinking they are deciding how their life will run, but that is not the case as society forces you to take a certain path. Note its position on the album, too. "Us and Them" is about paranoia, immediately following this is "Any Colour You Like" and then "Brain Damage", finally Eclipse. Any Colour is the nervous breakdown that comes in between the onset of paranoia and the "brain damage."

The song used advanced effects for the time both in the keyboard and the guitar. The VCS 3 synthesizer was fed through a long tape loop to create the rising and falling keyboard solo. David Gilmour used two guitars with the Uni-Vibe guitar effect to create the harmonizing guitar solo for the rest of the song. "Any Colour You Like" is also known (and is even listed on the Dark Side guitar tablature book) as "Breathe (Second Reprise)" because the song shares the same beat (albeit somewhat funkier and uptempo) as the album's first song "Breathe". It has also nearly the same chord sequence just transposed a whole step lower from E minor to D minor.

The reason why I have fallen in monogamic love with this tune is due to its perfection. The production behind it is unmatchable by any standard. The synthesizers take front row for most of the production, and the guitar/bass/drum combo serve as a base. In my mind, this is what a song should try to achieve if it wants to be perfect.

Anything off trout mask replica. Frownland is really complex if that's what you're going for, but I think Veterans' Day Poppy is much easier to dissect and analyze, while still highlighting the complexity of the compositions on the album.

OP, these recommendations are shite and are only going to make you look like a weirdo. Play it safe and do something from the Beatles - accessible, popular yet technically complex. Go for Eleanor Rigby or Lucy in the Sky or literally any song they made from 1965-70.

>>73896016
How about Money by Pink Floyd? Most people know it, it has a nice blend of instrumentation, and you can have a discussion about why the guitar solo is in 4/4 when the rest of the song is in 7/4...

>>73902144

I think A Day in the Life has much more to talk about. Not only is it the Beatles so it's extremely recognizable and accessible, but it also has complex structure, lyrics, innovation productive techniques, and historical significance.

Also, with any Beatles stuff, there's going to be tons of reference material in interviews talking in depth about everything they ever recorded. You can't go wrong with them.
