The Explain Why You Like This Album ('cause i don't understand) Thread

[boo boo]

You don't understand my argument at all.

The Residents didn't do what they couldn't do. I feel The Stooges didn't understand their limitations, or rather they just didn't give a sh*t, and they weren't even trying to experiment or diversify their sound or anything. No band should be so sloppy at trying to play music that simple. They make The Sex Pistols sound like Iron Maiden.


I kinda dig Down on the Street and 1970 but the rest of Fun House just grates the hell out of me. And I think they go way beyond their limits when they try to "jam" like on Dirt and the title track. And then there's LA Blues, good god. Talk about one of the most overrated albums of all time.

Raw Power is a lot better, but I wouldn't call that one a masterpiece either.

The Residents are the exception to every rule and theory ever created regarding contemporary artistic expression. Saying anything else about them would be an injustice, which is also the reason why I never post anything about them.

Dirt and Fun House are pretty good examples of what I'm talking about though.

Yeah the Stooges didn't give a ****. It was scuzzy, sloppy and amateur, but it still kicks grass and pulls pussy out of thin air.

The Residents never imposed limits, the word was meaningless to them. They pretty much made up their own rules. The Stooges were too inspired to do that.

Respect a band on their output regardless of what you "feel" are successes and failures . . . not on their capabilities based on some half-****ed set of standards.

I seriously don't even understand what you're saying.

I don't like their music and I think they're hideously overrated, and I was only explaining why that is. I'm not trying to pass off my opinions as an objective list of quality standards.

Me neither.

And Bleach still sucks.

Ok We need a music nerd intervention here. Why don't you guys take a break and play some Magic or something?
