favorite albums are hard enough, but I wonder if /mu/ has favorite songs? perhaps even an all-time top 5?
We can't even agree on the best track on ITAOTS. How do you expect a top 5 all time list?
One of my all time favourites has to be Neu! - Lieber Honig
Five perfect songs here
>>31919196but its holland 1945
>>31919215I was gonna say, if I have favorite songs I bet they're mostly by Joanna Newsom.>>31919214Fucking yes, haters gonna hate.
>>31919235>not two headed boy
Turquoise Hexagon Sun
>>31919298>not kaini industries
Pavement - Fillmore Jive
Picking 5 favorite songs is harder than picking five favorite albumsbut among my top 5 has to be Midnight Request LineScrobbled it more than any other track
Spawn Of Possession - The Evangelist
1. Communist Daughter2. Communist Daughter3. Communist Daughter4. Get Got5. Oh Comely
>>31919196>>31919235>>31919283>Not Untitled, most underrated and most emotional track on the album
>>31919158CLT's Five Best Side One Track Ones (chronological order)1. "Kanaan" - Phallus Dei by Amon Düül II2. "Ah!" - Hosianna Mantra by Popol Vuh3. "Future Days" - Future Days by Can4. "Chasing A Bee" - Yerself Is Steam by Mercury Rev5. "Djed" - Millions Now Living Will Never Die by Tortoise
>>31919317> 0:59
>>31919283It's Oh Comely
/mu/ is too autistic to only listen to have favorite songs

>>31919409even ultra-serialist milton babbitt shit can be emotional you fucking tool
>>31919409>Implying Untitled doesn't convey the most raw emotion out of any of the songs on ITAOTSI fail to see why that wouldn't be something we judge its quality on.
>>31919318i need to sleep why won't you
1. anything by gordon lightfoot2. anything by gordon lightfoot3. anything by gordon lightfoot4. anything by gordon lightfoot5. anything by gordon lightfoot
Kanye West - GoneCouldn't do a top 5 because I'd want to include too much but that is easily the best song I've ever heard
>>31919409>please don't use such terms to describe musicNah, I think I'll keep on doing whatever I want.
>>31919442That's exactly why calling something "emotional" conveys zero information beyond "I experienced an emotional reaction of some kind" and is therefore useless as a musical descriptor.>>31919439no u
My fav trax are probably like Surf's Up by the Beach Boys, Do You Remember Walter? by the Kinks, Cherry Bon Bon by KPP or maybe something by Royal Trux
My Top 5 (haters will hate the last one):Steven Wilson - Indexhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UoKIiw-p2gThe Velvet Underground - Sister Rayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJUpY5geWcURadiohead - Let Downhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z_NvVMUcG8Genesis - Supper's Readyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z_NvVMUcG8Coldplay - Chinese Sleep Chanthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgzg50JtQNo

>>31919475LEEET MEWHYY WOONTTWHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>31919559But none of that was implied. Let's not derail the thread please
>>31919508I always thought of "emotional" as being a property of the performance, not of the listeners reaction to the music
Dance Yrself Clean - LCD SoundsystemBloodhail - Have A Nice LifeWet Hair - JapandroidsOne Week - Barenaked Ladies (call me a pleb, whatever)Helplessness Blues - Fleet FoxesNo particular order.
>>31919565I don't have a list off the top of my head.
>>31919546Ohhh Hello :D¿Como has estado?I stepped away from /mu/ the last two months because I was on exams and I needed time for my studying, but now I'm back on the tracks :)
>>31919508>conveys zero informationright because everyone's top 5 songs of all time should be logically informative and should concisely convey the appropriate information and should include citations and diagram as to which points in the particular piece their heart rate increased as a hormonal reaction interpreted through learned behaviors in the nervous system and yeah just fuck off
>>31919528Nothing wrong with Coldplay amigo
>>31919620>not Young Hearts Spark Fire
Arvo Part - Silouans SongPavement - HereElliott Smith - No Name 3Dean Blunt - The NarcissistHave A Nice Life - Bloodhail
>>31919607That wouldn't explain how two listeners can (and frequently do) hear the exact same performance yet one might find it sterile and lifeless while the other finds it engaging and affecting.

>>31919528>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgzg50JtQNoOh shit, I remember this song but for some reason the name totally escapes me. Was it a hidden track?
>>31919528I always thought it was Chinese Sheep Chant for some reason.
>>31919637>knocking down bizarre straw menTry to keep up with the conversation, please.
>>31919685fuck, i just realized those are all depressing as helli have no variety
>>31919546 No u
1. What Would I want, Sky? - Animal Collective2. Empire Ants - Gorillaz3. People Pops and Fudgesicles for the Hit Factory - Arrogant Sons of Bitches4. Thank You - SWANS5. Frontier Psychiatrist - The Avalanches That took me a long time to think of ;_; I have a lot of songs I really like a whole lot, and probably not a set top five, but those just come to my mind. I don't really have a "favorite" song or anything...
Top five, no orderDrake - Paris Morton MusicBonobo - Days to ComeJefres Cantu-Ledesma - Star GardenBob Seger - Against the WindKanye West - Lost in the Worldfug u
To Here Knows When. No contest, but other than that, I don't really know.
>>31919657That song is fucking awesome; I mean, Coldplay playing fucking Shoegaze, like a real good band. Viva la Vida was such an incredible album; I'd never imagine they would play something like this.
>>31919669I love that entire album man, Wet Hair just jumped out as my favorite.
Konstantine is still one of my favorite songs. Please don't tell anyone
>>31919688I haven't encountered many examples of that, though I'm sure they occurI'm just saying that while written out music doesn't convey any emotions, the performer can infuse the piece with emotion and energy, and that the listener can tell the difference between a performance with and without that energyMaybe emotion is just a bad word for what I'm describing
>>31919706S-sorry
>>31919720Yes, It was a hidden track that was between Yes and Viva la Vida.

>>31919831Written music does convey emotion, but only when played. That's what dynamics are for. The emotional aspects are followed by the artist and written by the composer
>>31919633Bien : - )I really didn't study for my final exams and now I'm in summer school, damn it. >>31919729Hey CLT, I recently listened to Solex - Low Kick and Hard Bop, what did you like about it so much? It was an interesting listen but I really don't understand how it made it into your top 50 next to artists like Can and OTC.

212 by Aezalia Banks, none of her other stuff is nearly as good... or maybe Its just the perfect combination of the song and that video.For whatever reason I fucking love that song
>>31919899sounds like a classic case of 2deep4u
>>31919806>>>r/music
>>31919931I can't imagine that album ever being 2deep4 someone
>>31919933>>>/r/pretentious
>>31919961you literally just proved the point that the album beyond you
>>31919831>the performer can infuse the piece with emotion and energyBut the sound that performer is making doesn't become "emotional" until a subjective individual listener hears it as deems it as being so. It's just sound waves in the air before that happens.
>>31919933>>31919961>incredibly judgemental tripfags
No way.
>>31920008clt is actually p solid thoughI thought he was a huge autist when I first got here and still sort of think that but I have enver seen him lose an argument and the bands he recs are quite good
Bjork - Bachelorette
>>31919989>being this relativistic fuck off. common sense and empirical observations tell us music does convey emotion
>>31919899I have a soft spot for off-kilter pop of all types, as most people have probably noticed by now. I felt that album was unique in construction and entertaining in its entirety.
any true /mu/tant will agree that the top 5 songs are:1.) Death Grips - (insert any track)2.) Death Grips - (insert any track)3.) Death Grips - (insert any track)4.) Death Grips - (insert any track)5.) Death Grips - (insert any track)

>>31920050Your kid sister hears a Panic @ the Disco song and thinks it's the most emotional thing in the world.You hear the exact same song and think it's boring and artificial.Is the song emotional or not?If it is emotional, why did you experience no emotional reaction?If it is not emotional, why did your sister experience and emotional reaction?The only possible conclusion is that "emotional" is a qualifier that describes an individual's response and nothing more.
>>31919989I disagree, I think that there's a difference between the emotions that the listener experiences and the emotion/energy/whatever that the performer puts into the pieceEven if a particular piece doesn't invoke any emotions in me, I might be able to tell that the performer put some degree of emotion into their performance, which can be interpreted as a physical quality of the music
>>31920043He loses lots of arguments in movie threads.
>>31920137As we can clearly see by the amused anime child, the things which have been said are truthful in their entirety.
>>31920088/thread>>31919933I have no problems with you, but... man, I mean wtf...>opinionsStop being pretentious, It's not like I'm trying to make you happy, it's about sharing my opinion.>pic related suck my top 10
>>31920156The piece is removed from the actual making of the piece of though. The act of creating art surely exhibits emotion but the end product is inanimate and empty until it is perceived
>>31920156Speaking as a performer (singer to to be specific), I've lost count of the number of times I performed an insipid piece which had been handed to me the same morning and just phoned it in, feeling nothing toward the music "putting in no emotion" as you would put it, and afterward received comments from strangers about how "emotional" my performance was.Your little theory just doesn't hold together in the cold light of rationality.
>>31920088fuck, i honestly agree. most solid band of the past 10 years.but let's not say everyone else does.
>>31920213I think that the performance itself is an act of creating art, thus exhibits emotion

>>31920294remember when you thought winter light was good? lolo plebb
>>31920277undoubtedly. but thats performance art, which is different. usually theres another step in between artist and audience, which is the actual art itself
>>31920242Those are just the two different kinds of emotion that I was describing beforeEven if you didn't put any emotion into your performance, which I feel is a more objective quality of the performance, the audience can still feel emotion, which is subjectiveIt's the opposite case as>Even if a particular piece doesn't invoke any emotions in me, I might be able to tell that the performer put some degree of emotion into their performance, which can be interpreted as a physical quality of the musicThis is just the way I see it though
>>31920155you can observe and measure, on average, what songs are most 'emotional' by keeping track of these responses using a rating system (all hypothetical) This could be used, in turn, to objectively measure a song's emotional merit. It would become apparent then that songs can be emotionally void or opposite.This would explain the common idea surrounding a song's emotional merit

>>31920314XD>>31920341>Winter Light>not one of the best films ever made>>31920360And I brought up an example of a performer "putting no information" into music and it being perceived otherwise. "Emotion" is all in the listener's mind. That is the only internally consistent explanation.>>31920364I'm not sure you understand what "objective" means.

>>31920477winter light was amazing, thanks clt
>>31920478Are you taking Spanish classes or something?
>>31920477I feel that the two aren't entirely dependent on eachother, whether that "information" is present in the performance might influence how likely it is that a listener feels an emotion, but even in the absence of that information, the listener can still feel emotionThanks for the interesting discussion, but I'm off to class
>>31920598Don't thank me. Thank the genius Ingmar Bergman.
