I made the same point about Nevermind as well. I get it.

Do you think there's such a thing as poor taste? Unless it's mind numbingly stupid shite like N-Dubz.

Each to their own and all of that, although I recall liking some bands that you like, so you do have good taste

That's not really much of an explanation. In what way is it a classic? It wasn't particularly groundbreaking when it came out. It was popular but not hugely popular. It has aged very badly and in retrospect was not the kind of album that pushed music in new directions or anything. So I'm unclear why you're saying it's a classic as if that's somehow self-evident.

I hear ya. But I think there is a point. Some albums you don't have to understand but a certain amount of respect should be paid I believe.

Like my Nevermind deal...I hate the band and the record, but too many people I respect in music love it and give it it's credit. I don't like it but I'm not going to walk around saying it sucks. Id be wrong. It's just not my thing.

Now slamming OK Computer. Your on a role.

Please tell your your opinion of more mainstream stuff you would endorse?

It was a critically well received album that went 2x platinum. It was released in 1991 when alternative rock was exploding onto the scene and Soundgarden is one of those pioneers of the Seattle grunge sound. Maybe it is not a classic on the same level as Siamese Dream and I should have said Nevermind instead.

(Warning: tangent)

What determines when an album has not "aged well"? I see this written all the time and was wondering what is meant by that phrase. Thanks...

It's good to see somebody be respectable in your instance. Too many people believe themselves walking encyclopedias of correctness.

@ the premise of this thread...

I think the reason people say music is worse today is the way it's delivered. It's more of an active experience of finding artists you like, you can't expect the radio to deliver fresh material. Mainstream music is going to cling on and milk whatever trends have made money in the past, not take chances on radical new ideas. It evolves very slowly.

And that's why most of the people saying music sucks nowadays are people who hear Modern Rock radio and all it's immature, sexual tripe and think back to the 'good ol days' of rock n roll. But now rock isn't the cash crop it once was so the labels and radio stations are milking what's left of the 90s Alt Rock boom.
