MB's greatest common factor (hardcore, indie, pop, punk, rock)

MURDER JUNKIE · 02-06-2008, 09:18 AM

I personally don't trust anybody who doesn't have at least one of these in their collection:

A Beastie Boys Album
A Ramones Album
A Clash Album
A Johnny Cash Album

I believe that this is achievable for most people and is not too much to ask

Thats because all their albums are so goddamn expensive. I'd have them all if they were cheaper.

In fact I haven't even mentioned any of my favorite albums because I know most people don't like them. My suggestions were sincere as to what I've noticed people like here and I don't understand why people think that I'm taking from the cream of my tastes or whatever. I'm most definitely am not. And the statement which you've quoted implies that there's no such thing as glory period for music it's really dependent on what's significant to you.

edit:In An AEroplane of over the sea came out in '96 but really never was part of the reason why I love that year because I jsut found that out.

Me saying '96 is the best year is no more ridiculous than you sweating '69-'75.

Well I think I’m being undersold there. I mean I’m suggesting that while Nevermind is a great suggestion, due to the age of the board members, and the reasons I’ve cited, it may not be the easiest sell.

That comment however, was not related to the idea that the suggestions you made were probably not realistic. And this is no insult to him, but if the OP is oojay, I don’t think he’d heard of half of them prior to being here, never mind owning them.

And going back to your earlier post, you can’t cite the message board name in every thread as an excuse to talk about whatever you want. That’s called spam. You can talk about whatever you want on the boards, just not whatever you want in any post you want. I don’t think that’s unreasonable.

Age doesn't really dictate people's taste. At least not people who are trying to constantly to find new music. Which I'd say most people here are. And I'd say most people here have at least listened to Nevermind front to back -opinions of it aside. The comment was related. I was saying that my favorite year of music was when I was 5 years old in contrast to what you said were the patterns of your tastes. Just because when you were born has influence over what you listen to doesn't mean that it does for most people here. It was related I don't see what's wrong with expanding the conversation beyond the topic if it still relates to music and the point I was making. I didn't start a discussion about whole step scales in use of dream sequences for movies or anything.

TheBig3 · 02-06-2008, 04:06 PM

Well you’ll note that I never said it dictated their taste. I even went so far as to say that I liked music from that era but didn’t see the use in going back and dropping a $20. I mean to be honest I don’t know what came out in 1982 just as you didn’t know that Aeroplane came out in ’96. But that’s not the point, and it wasn’t what I was saying.

Statistics alone, people are going to be less likely to buy anything roughly ten years before they have an awareness of music as something that’s engaging and 15 years before they join the workforce and can afford things for themselves.

People digress, and that happens on a regular basis, occasionally it saves a wasted thread, but we’re not talking about a digression, and I think it would be a stretch if I called it spam, because while it may fit the textual definition (may, not does) it doesn’t constitute spam in spirit. But to suggest that those albums, with all the metal-only heathens that populate the R&M forum, and the mainstream radio loving lounge lizards, tell me something honestly, did you think everyone here owned a built to spill album?

albums suggestions like nevermind, make alot of sense, for one the average age of people on this site, benefits, and also the amount of albums that it sold some 26+ million copies.
