Ah, I'm a bit surprised, I don't know why, but I had imagined you receptive to things kraut.

Ya, I'm not a very big Krautrock fan 😕 , Can, Neu, Faust, etc...aren't really my type of music. I respect it, but for the most part, I just don't enjoy it. I'd rather spend my time listening to something else. I do like Future Days though. That's a good album 😄

And, Neu 2 just sounds like nothing to me. 😐 I don't think I've ever heard an emptier album. Even with background music.

I know Psychocandy is a favourite on BEA, and it's the type of album that I should enjoy, but I just simply don't.

Fair enough. As I said, I thought you liked it, but I really don't know on what grounds I derived such an idea 🤔

Speaking of Common, I haven't listened to Resurrection, but do you know and/or like Like Water For Chocolate and/or Be? I think these albums are really great, so if you feel like giving a second chance to Common...

Be is on my listening list 😄 I haven't been listening to a lot of new music lately, I've just been playing the older stuff that I like 😄 Once I get the chance, I probably will give it a listen. It's been recommended to me quite a few times. Maybe after that, if I like it, I'll check out his other stuff 😜 I know he just released a new album that's gotten ok reviews, but nothing great sounding.

Of course it makes sense he doesn't like them. I wasn't saying anything about THAT.

The worst album for an overrated band, a horrible comeback from a band that used to be relevant but did not understand its time has gone, and a famed indie rock album that I find plain boring. A nice bunch.

Where does the Manic Street Preachers album you heard come in? :shock:

I haven't rated everything I've listened to yet. I'd have to listen to it again to rate it accurately, and I honestly don't feel like listening to some Manic Street Preachers. Maybe one day...

No they don't belong on any list. They belong in the trash.

Hey, you're not telling me that In Utero belongs in the trash? 🫵
I thought you disagreed with Bork on that album when he had it on his list.

The other albums really don't belong, but this one certainly does.

While there are many albums and artists I don't care for, at least I can imagine their use as background noise or catchy filler, or that somebody somewhere appreciates them in a way I don't... ...except for Insane Clown Posse. I don't see any merit. I've tried to have an open mind - someone once tried to convince me logically and thoroughly. I can see past the clown get up, the pro-wrestling, and even the recycled sound. I can't get past the inane, amateur lyrics. Can anyone help me, or am I right in my condemnation? If I had to choose one album - The Great Milenko (1996)
