Loveless > Nevermind > OKC

Loveless was an actually innovative work and one of the last truly forward thinking guitar-based records. Nevermind shot rock into the pop spotlight and extended its life by 15-20 years. OK Computer sorta killed Britpop and was a timely expression of turn of the millennium anxieties, but really it was mostly just in the right place at the right time.

>>74302936
Although they're good, they don't quite capture the raw lyrics and sound that Grunge is now known for. When you think of Grunge, you think of In Bloom, Come as you are, Drain you, etc.

To put in other words, Nirvana basically defined Grunge. AiC was great too, but was more on the heavy metal side of the spectrum.
>>
>>74302958
not the guy you're replying to, but you're really an idiot
yeah you like AIC more than Nirvana, but you have to be pretty dumb to not realize that Nirvana is more INFLUENTIAL than AIC.
Personal opinions aside, this is just common sense.
>>
The fact that so many books still name Nirvana as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" grunge band ever only tells you how far grunge music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Grunge critics are still blinded by commercial success. Nirvana sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Grunge critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that Nirvana did anything worthy of being saved.
>>

dude, grunge was bigger than Cobain's pretty face

Fucking faggot, the more popular the music, the more people can draw inspiration and influence from. Many bands have cited Nirvana as their influence, either from the lyrical or drumming standpoint. Fucking drown yourself in acid.

Yes, but Nirvana pretty much put it on the map. I don't care what you contrarians think if it was a band thing or not, point is it defined Grunge and gave many people and future bands another genre to look into and be influenced by.

>you have to be pretty dumb to not realize that Nirvana is more INFLUENTIAL than AIC.

In what sense? What is this based on? Surely Nirvana has sold more records but that doesn't mean 'influential' to me. 'Grunge' was a thing before Nirvana as far as I know, 'invented' by the other Seattle bands. Nirvana could be credited for being inspired by punk, but I don't think they were particularly 'influential' on that sector either.

popular =/= influential imo
>>
>>74303089
Nirvana influenced

- Bush (like, straight up, how do we sound exactly like Nirvana)
- Weezer (Rivers is very scared of, and yet so desires, a comparison to Kurt Cobain)
- Radiohead (they obviously went to other places but do you think "Creep" would have happened without Nirvana?)
- a bazillion nu metal bands from the late 90's
- Foo Fighters (like, obviously)
- Almost every other mid-90's band (like, I dunno, Marcy Playground and stuff)
>>
>>74303151
Look at it like this

>band sells lots of records
>they hear about it on the radio/tv/friends
>normies and future bands buy record
>they enjoy it and produce music inspired by said band from said record
It's as easy as that. Nirvana simply had the most influence because it was able to reach a lot of people. That's like making an argument that the Beatles weren't influential because of their success.

Not really, since that is subjective. What makes something musically relevant, anyways?
In contrast, social impact would be more objective.

I'm pretty sure we both know that some albums are more musically relevant than others, so I don't see the point of your question.

Probably, but it's not relevant when it comes to music.

Yes
>>
>>74305431
>Well, they were culturally important albums, but musically? Not at all.
Nevermind and OKC brought down rock a few notches back to earth. At the time(and probably ever) rock was all about parting and getting laid. It focused more on lyrics than shredding solos and power balads.
>>
>>74305566
>We are not allowed to talk about subjective things?
If you are not willing to intelligently qualify them and explain, then you are better off not speaking at all.
>I'm pretty sure we both know that some albums are more musically relevant than others, so I don't see the point of your question.
You don't know the point of agreeing on a common rubric to state if something is musically relevant or not? I expect more form you.
>but it's not relevant when it comes to music.
It is, because it's cyclical. Music informs the populace, and the populace informs music. To separate music from the soiciocultural identity would be folly and taking music out of context.
>Yes
But you admit that OP chose three albums that were culturally import, even though you don't think they were musically important (whatever that means). Did you think it was coincidence or are you being willfully ignorant?
>>
>>74305584
>At the time(and probably ever) mainstream rock was all about parting and getting laid.
There, fixed it for you.
Actually, it's not even true for mainstream rock. See: Pink Floyd and Prog Rock who were the best selling artists of their time.

That's not what I asked you. I asked you if we both could agree that there are albums more musically relevant than others. Once we agree on that, we can try to discern how to quantify such relevance.

>It is, because it's cyclical. Music informs the populace, and the populace informs music.
Only if you are dealing with mainstream music. There is way more to music than that.

>But you admit that OP chose three albums that were culturally import, even though you don't think they were musically important (whatever that means). Did you think it was coincidence or are you being willfully ignorant?
Loveless was not culturally important, so no, I never admitted that.

>>74305689
>How so? Do you know what a conversation is?
Eh, okay, I wrote a bad thing there. Ignore what I said there.

>I also asked you how old you were when OKC and Nevermind were released, and you didn't answer.
Because that's irrelevant.

>How so?
Because non mainstream music is not influenced by the "populace"-

>>
>>74305738
>Are you talking about Grunge and Alternative Rock?
I am talking about the same subgenres you are taking about
>Because that's irrelevant.
So your answer is you weren't born yet?
>Because non mainstream music is not influenced by the "populace"-
How so? Show us a few examples.
>>
>>74305769
I don't. You should make some research on what autism actually is.

>>74305778
>I am talking about the same subgenres you are taking about
You were talking about micro genres and sub genres not being very important but the albums you posted are both from a specific subgenre and microgenre. So what's up with that?

>So your answer is you weren't born yet?
Again, that has nothing to do with this argument, so I don't know why you are bringing it up.

>How so? Show us a few examples.
You can't actually prove that logically speaking. You should provide a counter argument instead of a proof of non mainstream music being influenced by the "populace".
>>
>>74305840
>but the albums you posted are both from a specific subgenre and microgenre. So what's up with that?
Oh, rock is a subgenre of what?
>so I don't know why you are bringing it up.
Of course you do, that's why you won't answer it
>You can't actually prove that logically speaking. You should provide a counter argument instead of a proof of non mainstream music being influenced by the "populace".
Well how it works is you give an example to back up the claim YOU initially made, and I'll disprove it

You won't because you know I can, so you are trying to redesign how debates work so that you'll always be right and won't have to admit you were wrong.

Go ahead.
>>
>>74305840
I do know what autism is thanks, my brother has it. And trust me you come across like you do
>>
>>74305885
>Oh, rock is a subgenre of what?
Grunge and Alternative Rock are subgenres of Rock.

>Of course you do, that's why you won't answer it
I don't. How is it relevant to this argument? If you can answer that for me I can answer your question, otherwise it's drifting the argument away from the relevant point.

>Well how it works is you give an example to back up the claim YOU initially made, and I'll disprove it
You can't prove that "X does not influence Y", it's a statement that can only be proven wrong, but never right. So you should provide a counter argument instead.

>You won't because you know I can, so you are trying to redesign how debates work so that you'll always be right and won't have to admit you were wrong.
it has nothing to do with how debates work, it has to do with how demonstrations work. I posted above why it can only be proven wrong but never right anyways.
Now, realistically speaking, if there is no proof to the contrary, it follows that it's very likely my statement is true (again, if there is no proof to the contrary).

>>74305947
How come?
>>
>>74305964
>Grunge and Alternative Rock are subgenres of Rock.
OK but i was talking about rock. Those are both Rock albums
>How is it relevant to this argument?
Well, would you agree that one who observed a cultural zeitgeist shift first hand would be more credible than ones who didn't? Do you thi9nk understanding context is import?
>You can't prove that "X does not influence Y", it's a statement that can only be proven wrong, but never right. So you should provide a counter argument instead.
So you made a mistake in choosing an argument that cannot be proven wrong. You should reevaluate your argument.
>if there is no proof to the contrary, it follows that it's very likely my statement is true
This is misdirection

1) Why did you mention the subgenres and micro genres thing? Misdirection?

2) Are you misdirecting the argument on purpose? I never denied the cultural impact of those albums, I was only talking about musical impact.

3) On the contrary. I chose an argument that can't proven right, but can be proven wrong.

4) No misdirection. It's how the provability of some statements work.

5) Like I said before, the statement can't be proven right, it can only be proven wrong.

Nobody has a copy with the correct track listing, unless they purchased the 5.1 and rearranged the track listing according to the P4K documentary.
I was lucky enough to get a version temporarily on iTunes which had all the correct tracks, no remixes, which I simply needed to put in a certain order, and remove (Remix) from one track which wasn't actually a remix.
It's ranked 171 overall on RYM I think because of all these misunderstandings. It really sucks that no one who could want to check out this album will be getting the full story.

Are you going to answer the question? it is relevant.

That only mainstream rock of the time dealt with partying messages. Then he mentioned the subgenres thing.

If we are taking about cultural aspect then I agree with you. OK Computer and Nevermind were really relevant (Loveless wasn't though).

It doesn't shy away from the mainstream.

If it was removed, maybe it's because it wasn't their artistic intent?

What my point is, is that although Pitchfork *showed* that tracklist, neither Wayne nor Steven said anything about it. So who decided to show that tracklist? Could have been an animation editor at Pitchfork for all we know. I'm pretty sure Wayne or Steven said that the tracklist is whatever you want it to be, so I go by that. And, after having been in this debate literally since it came out, I've come to the conclusion that people accept the "correct tracklist" as the one they first heard--the Americans like the US, the Europeans like the UK.

I'd say OK computer (out of these three at least) because it really pioneered a certain sound and influenced a lot of people.

But honestly it's kinda hard to say because they're all so influential in they're own right, those three albums.

Most alt-rock post-Nevermind and OKC was trying to copy either of those. And I don't think we'd see as much of an ambient influence in music like Frank Ocean if OKC hadn't infused it with alt-rock.

You're being willfully ignorant of music history at this point.
