You like Killing Joke.

That I do, my friend. That I do. I like a boatload of other bands too, and I talk about them on here, but I guess it just doesn't stick in the minds of other people.

You probably know that already, but still.

Worth making one if you have 2 or 3 days where you've got nothing to do, and you can sit there and rate a load of albums.

Killing Joke stuck out for me because I'm convinced the only people who like them and still post on this forum are Lee, you, Seltzer, and myself.

I was just throwing that out there to show you that some people know what you like.

I have to admit this kind of thing doesn't really appeal to me. I like talking to other people about music, but just sitting around checking off how many stars I think some album deserves sounds incredibly boring to me.

Fair enough, you have safe taste in music. I don't have a problem with that.
But where are the personal reasons for liking stuff?
Don't you have at least one or two bands you want to champion who you always liked who never got the recognition they deserve?


Quote:
And to say I only like acclaimed albums and only dislike albums that are not is also very inaccurate. I slam popular and critically acclaimed artists ALL THE TIME. Most of the newer icons that get a lot of critical acclaim like Joanna Newsom and The National I hate with a goddamn passion.

And I've crapped on my share of "classic" albums too, calling Pink Moon a piece of crap and deflating the sacred cow status of albums like Fun House, Tago Mago, Spiderland, Zen Arcade and Blonde on Blonde.

I think Dylan is hellishly overrated. I pretty much think Jesus and Mary Chain were crap and when I said Phil Collins was a better singer than Nick Cave I was serious. Like any normal person I have my controversial opinions I just don't have a LOT of them. I don't TRY to be controversial. In the way that I feel you do sometimes.
Read the post again I said bands you LIKE, not dislike.



Quote:
What does that mean? Explain that to me.
OK quick example. Fly On The Wall is considered one of AC/DC's poorer albums. However it was one of the first I bought and I played it to death.
As a result I still enjoy it & don't consider it to be one of their worst.

Quote:
I didn't know I was supposed to be a storyteller. I come here to discuss my tastes in music not to give some pretentious stories about how stuff "changed my life". That's your job.
Why can't it be your job? what's wrong with a bit of sentimentality?
This whole forum is full of such stories and I think it's one of the most interesting & personal things about this forum that people write about.
Do you not listen to music to suit your moods or your feelings or do you just look at it as something to be analysed in a cold detached way?

Quote:
Sentimentality annoys me, I hate people who project how "passionate" they are about their music and I find these people pretentious most of the time. Of course I am passionate to the extent that I'm quite defensive about what I like. Yeah I can let it slide if people want to call stuff I like crap as long as it's not just for the sake of bandwagoning.
So having feelings about something is pretentious now? how sad.


Quote:
I know what the point of folk music is and I know what the point of punk is, that doesn't mean I have to like them, but oh wait, I do.
No you like a couple of the more commercially popular artists which you seem to think qualifies you to make statements like the one above.
I saw this coming a mile off ... nice try

Quote:
I like folk music, and no not just medieval/prog type stuff, I've been getting into stuff like Bill Fay and Simon Kinn lately. I just dislike certain types of folk, not into stuff like Dylan or the protest song sh*t where the themes are way more important than the music itself
But that's the point of folk music. That's what it's for, telling stories about everyday life.
What you basically mean is you like a couple of tunes that are pleasing to your ear that just happen to be folk songs, rather than you actually liking folk music itself.

Quote:
Actually I've never said that. I said that emotion is not something you can measure at all, I hate when people say "this has no emotion" when they have no f*cking way of telling. You cannot "pour" emotion into what are basically just collages of sound. Emotion in music can't be judged or measured because you have no way of telling if the artist is putting "genuine" emotion into it or not.
Well I disagree but I'm not dragging this whole thing out again.

Quote:
The only emotion you can measure is the emotional effect the music has on you and I never ever said music can't do that.
fair enough

I didn't realize there were so few of us. At least I'm in good company.
