Re: Need music recommendations | 1 year challenge

It's fine, I'm just being ahead of time. You can actually 'freeze' a selection of 10 songs from my suggestions and come back to the rest when a majority of it has been reviewed. Just don't want to forget those.

@choof: And with that I'd agree with you about the signification of the word influence. It's a shame I now know there exists such an hipster circlejerk around this kind of music. Can't believe people have a tendancy to condemn and glorify artists freely. But to each their own. We do also have our portion of bias, it only depends to what extent.

Edit: Good effing review, getting better, they actually make me want to go lend an hear.

Re: Need music recommendations | 1 year challenge

One thing for sure, I generally find it easier to talk about metal since I know the genre more. Electronic music, for example, uses a different vocabulary I'm really not familiar with, so it was hard for me to talk about Certified Air Raid Material. Maybe because it was my first time writing music reviews in English. Well, except those 4 reviews I did on The Beatles in my college class.

About the /mu/ thing, I don't have anything against the hipster trend. I do hate when people have a snobbish attitude when it comes to music taste and that's not an exception to them. It's the same thing in every music community, you'll find people that will praise or despise some musicians with a very nasty attitude. It happens all the time, everywhere.

The Beatles

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious arts. 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.

Re: Need music recommendations | 1 year challenge

The best band ever ? Personnally, I don't think so, there's a lot other bands that I vastly prefer more than them. They were incredibly influential (because of their huge success and popularity) and they brought a lot of new recording techniques that were groundbreaking at the time. If it wasn't for the huge team (George Martin ingenious work) behind their music, they wouldn't be so much known today. So yeah, when those publications say the "greatest" act of the millennium, I'm probably sure it's a mix of quality and popularity...

I'm more worried about the state of rock music when it comes to, for example, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Most of the time, they really miss the mark and don't recognize adequately the founding fathers of the genre because they want to shoot for a more general audience so they can have better television ratings. Same with the Grammy Awards.

Re: Need music recommendations | 1 year challenge

Dopesmoker - Sleep (First because DO THIS ONE)
Houdini - Melvins
Disco Volante - Mr. Bungle
California - Mr. Bungle (Same band for a genre transition)
69 Love Songs - The Magnetic Fields (Too long?)
You're Living All Over Me - Dinosaur Jr
Hypermagic Mountain - Lightning Bolt
Goat - The Jesus Lizard
The Pod - Ween (DO THIS ONE TOO)
All Hail West Texas - The Mountain Goats

I'd like these on the shortlist instead of the waitlist please (It was hard removing Andrew Jackson Jihad and Earth, but if it goes up to ten main choices I don't think pure drone metal is a good choice lol.)

RTPN - 2003-2008 (actual name of the album is 2003-2008). It's a mix of electro and industrial.

I don't see any point to go there anyway, if it's about discovering music then you're always better off by yourself. If it's about discussion, then there's plenty good boards over RYM.
