musical consensus?

montyclift  said about 1 year ago  or at  2:50PM on Friday, April 9 2010 in music

thought i'd done this before, but it might of been in an m&n of alternate reality...

however...is there any ONE band that all we tastemakers, coolsies, wankers, pseudo-intellectuals, hangers-on, trainspotters, and other assorted m&n users can agree that are good? or even just tolerate without total hate outbreak?

initial contenders?: i would have said Eddy Current, but their backlash even has a thread of its own...

the philly jays? the drones?

discuss.

in my experience the rolling stones seem to be the lowest common denominator.


montyclift  said about 1 year ago:

it may well be a box of chocolates, 'vich - but most everyone would agree that chocolate almonds are good.


rawr  said about 1 year ago:

eww stones.

suppose i can tolerate them, though.


montyclift  said about 1 year ago:

eww stones.

i think stones distaste would be widespread. particularly among the younger who only know them as a comedy cabaret.


__v  said about 1 year ago:

there was a similar thread and i think the kinks did pretty well

i would've thought the saints would have done pretty well around here, but i seem to remember a little outbreak of sacred cow abuse a while ago

Dude, really?!

i have been in each of the positions of publicist, journalist, and editor - and in the context of this thread, can feel the pain of all involved.


theparisend  said about 1 year ago:

anonymous  said about 1 year ago:

if we found this mythical band we might as well shut up the internet and all go home.


anonymous  said about 1 year ago:

bah, i don't like the cure!

toadphoney  said about 1 year ago:

think of the productivity gains

There's always someone who disagrees at the end, though. I think that's what happened there.

mozart.

Showpony. Where's his Bachian solemnity?

mozart

too many notes.

Jazz I can handle, but only when some white cat is in destruction mode.

Hip Hop and funk.. fucking woeful.

So you're not into punk, rock, pop, reggae, ska, DIY or politically-motivated music Hellza?

Spot on.

This I like.


Modi  said about 1 year ago:

Hellzapoppin will never be swayed by the majority opinion. I think it's a matter of principle

I've met the majority, I wouldn't call what they offer in anyway an opinion.


Arthurly  said about 1 year ago:

I find dub, reggae, ska etc to be the most useless formats of music every created.

dead to me now


Scale  said about 1 year ago:

I am yet to find a genre that doesn't have something in it that makes it all worthwhile.


Scale  said about 1 year ago:

Question: why is it always quite old bands people think of?


Scale  said about 1 year ago:

oh and how about Robert Wyatt?


Mo  said about 1 year ago:

Birdman?


montyclift  said about 1 year ago:

seconded. but perhaps bizarrely i love the clash. although some of their more overtly reggae tracks were truly cod awful. but some would say that's my reverse racism at play...

Robert Wyatt

too old, too obscure.

Birdman

too old, too out of fashion. (but that's just this week - this may alter, already has a number of times in living memory...)


CaptainFez  said about 1 year ago:

Birdman?

Yecch.


Mo  said about 1 year ago:

too out of fashion - birdman?

fuck me

i really have no idea what the fuck is going on anymore

to me birdman are the epitome of cool


montyclift  said about 1 year ago:

i did say this week, mo. wait until there's a new strokes album or something with guitars, that someone will somehow make reference to the whole detroit thing again, and the wheel will spin once more...


Mo  said about 1 year ago:

ok so lemme get this straight

this week - new order = IN, detroit riffin rock n roll = OUT

?


montyclift  said about 1 year ago:

from some of the shit i'm currently listening to, you're on the button.

although there's these odd outbreaks of banjo and mandolin from various places for variety...


Mo  said about 1 year ago:

oh i do like me some mandolin


montyclift  said about 1 year ago:

this is apparently 'the new wave of folk'.


Mo  said about 1 year ago:

oh ffs

where's the tower, where's the gun, where's the tower, where's the gun,

where's the tower, where's the gun, where's the tower, where's the gun,

where's the tower, where's the gun, where's the tower, where's the gun

where's the tower, where's the gun, where's the tower, where's the gun,

where's the tower, where's the gun, where's the tower, where's the gun


Arthurly  said about 1 year ago:

please don't tell me you've just gotten into the tired old genre of folktronica (or whatever they're calling it this week). The newest example being a rather dull effort from Tuung.
