Maybe I'm confused, but I don't see what GYBE has to do with politics or race. I mean, they're all a bunch of sickly white fuckers. I don't like them because they're emotionally dishonest drivel.
Can we do something about this blatant politics baiting when I just want to talk about music (or not talk about GYBE)?
This is the most forced meme I've seen on here in a while

Nice lie OP. Literally no Godspeed fan called you racist.
Fall on a sharp rock please.
>emotionally dishonest drivel
That's a new meme now? /mu/ really suck at those to be honest.
Fuck me, I fell for the bait. How do I filter frogposters?
The fact that so many books still name Godspeed You! Black Emperor as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" post-rock band ever only tells you how far post-rock 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. Post-rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. Godspeed You! Black Emperor 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. Post-rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that Godspeed You! Black Emperor did anything worthy of being saved.
