Post subject: How about discussing the music we like?
After a tiring discussion including me being called "ignorant", "hypocritical", "beyond help" and that I have "very limited knowledge" and don't do "any attempt at a varied listening experience" etc. I've come to think of how the discussions go off-track in these forums.
We always discuss the bad music - what we think is bad. We always try to tell other people that their music taste sucks. How about discussing the music we like? How about finding someone who's fan of what you like too and discuss why it is so good? I would love to have a thread called "That awesome little drumbeat after every chorus in "Any Time At All" by The Beatles". And I would like it without someone saying "The Beatles sucks. You're all stupid". Don't misunderstand me. I'd like "The fantastic "Rain Down" part of "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead"-threads as well. I'm not particularly a fan of Radiohead, but I think people who like Radiohead should have the rights to discuss and enjoy in peace. How about saying "I love the 60s" and not "I hate the 90s" (or "I love the 90s" and not "I hate the 60s")?

Dude, what they're arguing has nothing to do with the Beatles or Radiohead being necessarily "bad". It all has to do with us being so GOSH DARNED TIRED OF TALKING ABOUT THEM!!!!!
That why members such as Necharsian and myself love albums like this (other than the fact that CRJ is a sexy beast, and that it's one of the best albums of last year).
There are THOUSANDS of other amazing albums that BEA members don't talk about as much. You could discuss the ingenious half-black, half-doom, half-prog style of Agalloch. Or you can point out how Human After All by Daft Punk was one of the most important electronic releases of the past decade, combining old-school hard rock like Deep Purple with house in a way that would influence Skrillex and all the other bro-steppers (though Justice was certainly involved as well, but that's a story for another day).
Look, when you talk about the Beatles, nothing that you're saying is necessarily wrong. But you're like the little kid telling his mom to try some of this Mott's applesauce, not realizing that she's had it a million times before you were born.
Trust me, we've listened to OK Computer before. We know what it's like. We just want to talk about something new.

I love pretty much everything about this song, but particularly when Napper manages to fit in a little "and again", before repeating "IIIIIIIIIII'LL CRACK YOUR SKULL". It just seems so formal. It's not as if the sentiment needed to be repeated, but those two little words let the crowd know that it's time to get rowdy and shout that line all over again, just as they had done five seconds previous. Perfect. Also, props to D Double E for having my favourite verse on the whole song ("it's me the kids are mad oooooonnnn"), props to Jamakabi for his example of how to remain resourceful in the heat of battle ("not di gun, mi draw fi di belt buckle"), and props to Forcer for his deranged cackle and promise that if you "bring some beef you'll lose some teef". And that's before I even talk about the instrumental, which is a pure adrenaline shot of unrelenting snares and hi-hats. It's just the quintessential grime tune, and it gets people hyped up in the rave. Perfection.
Have you ever heard about this album called Forever Changes by the band Love? It's kinda good. Sweet and catchy yet complex and psychedelic meoldies accompanied by accoustic guitars and violins. The lyrics are rather mysterious, also. It's not bad, overall.

This is the best album and no one seems to know. Everyone know's it's very good... but it has very little chart appreciation around these parts _________________ My top songs of the 2010s

Had Liz Phair not gone and released some terrible music after this, I'm sure history would have been kinder to her. I think female music in general lacks appreciation here. And I know I'm an offender. I just have a harder time relating to the female voice. BEA needs more estrogen.

I've been back and forth on this album. I really love it for the most part. There are a couple of songs I don't care for, but I try not to let them affect how much I love the album, because it's pretty boss for the most part.
The Walkmen. From the organ sound on the first to records to Matt Barrick's sensational drumming to Hamilton Leihauser's powerful, strained vocals. There's something truly special about this band. They've managed to combine Harry Nilsson and Leonard Cohen with dc punk and 90s indie.
