>>do it better

>>74501526
Albert Hammond Jr said they never heard Television though, contrary to popular belief

>>74501546
I never get the Television comparison tho. Television is way too "proggy" when compared to Strokes.

>normies like it so it's bad!
Notice how no one calls this album reddit because it didn't blow up and become insanely popular like the strokes?

>>74501609
>strawman
I'm not saying it's bad, I'm questioning the "do it better" part

>>74501621
let me give you a red pill, the reason people think its better is because it was first

>>74501633
what the fuck are you talking about

>>74501526
Which one are you on about?
Whether it's Television, Velvet Underground, the Heartbreakers, they're nowhere near as good as any of them

>>74501643
television
>>74501661
spoken like a true hipster my guy

The Strokes were the last non-numale rock band to achieve international success with their debut. Prove me wrong.

Why can't you explain why Is This It "does the idea better?"

Arctic Monkeys
Were Interpol before or after?

Welcome to showbiz, bitch!

>>74501678
people think Television is better because Television is fucking better
you think you're so enlightened for preferring a shitty garage revival band over the 70s band they took inspiration from when in reality you're just a hipster trying to justify your dislike of an acclaimed band

This is the most overrated rock album of all time

>>74501526
the best rock albums of all time

>>74501833
That's not OK Computer tho

>>74501863
OKC is actually good
The Strokes is boring trash

>>74501880
OKC is britpop for woke teenagers.

>not more reddit than Radiohead

>>74501541
t. insecure rym user

>>74501924
Radiohead is reddit: the band.

>>74501983
see >>74501924

OKC was a CIA mind control experiment to placate unruly youth, much like Elvis, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Sex Pistols, Smiths, and Beyonce.

t. knower of stuff

>>74502243
Beyonce can at least placate my unruly dick.

>>74501526
They admitted to ripping of Tom Petty though.

ill admit im just about the most reddit user on this board. i love both the strokes and radiohead

>>74501816
marquee moon is kinda ass and boring desu like whats so good about it?

explain why The Strokes are so much better

>>74505161
Because Is This It isnt boring but Marquee Moon is a snoozefest

>>74505194
This Is It is the most boring album I've ever listened to in my life
Try actually explaining

>>74505161
they have more bangers

>>74505209
This Is It? Never heard that one, sounds boring though. Is This It by The Strokes however is fantastic.

>>74505209
Should i write an essay? im not a music major thats all i can say, maybe you'd be able to actually explain to me why Marquee Moon is so good

>>74505258
write something substantial. "Marquee Moon is boring and Is This Is is not" is not substantial
>maybe you'd be able to actually explain to me why Marquee Moon is so good
I don't have to explain you shit. you're the one claiming how much better The Strokes are over Television

Radiohead is Reddits favorite band

the strokes are the most overrated indie band i've ever heard. if this was the golden age of indie rock that i missed out on. im glad

>>74504864
They were not as huge as they are now, but they were certainly well known.

>>74501526
I wouldn't say they did it better than every band like like the velvet underground, but I certainly prefer them to Television

>>74501546
that is such fucking bullshit
they denied it because they realized how much like television they sound
the strokes are just television without the prog in the 00s

and I don't even dislike the strokes, depending on the definition of 'indie rock' they're the only band I can stomach
