/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

true

first

Superior.

>>43509328
is it though? experimentation =/= good
the effects sound dated, unlike abbey road

good but EXTREMELY overrated

>>43509328
this 100%

the only one i even really listen to

>>43509411
>overrated
what does that even mean anymore...

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success: the Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worth of being saved.

nah i've been a beatles fan for years and Abbey Road is easily their worst

>>43509427
>not their entire discography
true pleb of the highest caliber
>>43509446
>not let it be

Not even the best album of 1969. Not even in the top ten

>>43509433
it's not as good as people say it is

>>43509465
Let it Be is listenable, Abbey Road is not.

>>43509487
Please list the top 10.

>>43509499
how is it not as good
>>43509487
not true, it is the best 69 record

people fell on their knees when abbey road was released, they thought the beatles were done for

>>43509533
troll harder.

>>43509535
it's just a typical pop rock album and people act like it's the pinnacle of musical creativity. it's good but yeah not as good as people say it is

>>43509465
>Tfw Let It Be is my favourite by them
Revolver comes close if that's redeeming at all.

>>43509487
agreed.
here's the top ten
1. the Velvet Underground- the Velvet Underground
2. Pharoah Sanders- Karma
3. the Stooges- the Stooges
4. King Crimson- In the Court of the Crimson King
5. Can- Monster Movie
6. Miles Davis- In a Silent Way
7. Jaki Byard- the Jaki Byard Experience
8. Johnny Cash- At San Quentin
9. Phil Ochs- Rehearsal for Retirement
10. CCR- Willie and the Poor Boys

>>43509534
Why? So you can say "lolno"?

>>43509593
how is it typical

Revolver came out the same year as Dylan's Blonde on Blonde and Zappa's Freak Out and people seriously think the Beatles were doing anything new and innovative?

>>43509618
>1. the Velvet Underground- the Velvet Underground
lel that album was shit like everything else TVU made after Cale left.

>>43509618
no trout mask? no floyd? no hot rats? opinion disregarded

>>43509643
>caring about "new and innovative" instead of "good
Typical plebeian behavior.

>>43509625
how isn't it? it's so straightforward. i'm not saying being accessible is bad too. there's nothing new on it

>>43509643
they were just trying to copy pet sounds anyway, even moreso with sgt pepper

>>43509660
"no /mu/core? opinion disregarded"

>>43509618
Actually a surprisingly good list. I didn't think /mu/ had it, anymore

>>43509651
>actually believing this
embarrassing
Cale was easily the most talented member of the group, but there are few pop songs on the same level as "Candy Says" "Pale Blue Eyes" and "After Hours"
>>43509660
Trout Mask and Hot Rats would've probably ended up in a top 15 but you REALLY think Ummagumma is worthy of being in the ten best albums of 1969? really?

>>43509686
but Pet Sounds was Brian Wilson trying to ape Rubber Soul

>>43509684
nothing new? have you followed their career or havent you? straightforward? its the fucking beatles and you just said thats not a bad thing

you dont know fuck all contrarian

>>43509725
i meant on abbey road

>>43509725
>new for the beatles = new for music
: )

>>43509660
>ummagumma

>>43509795
the songs are tighter than theyve ever been reaching sheer perfection, i hardly think thats not innovative since the white album...

>>43509708
And he failed, for Pet Sounds turns out to be way superior to Rubber Soul.

>>43509725
they didnt even do anything new as a whole tho. the whole tape music shit they were doing was being done years before them

>>43509824
yeah but the bad songs outnumber the good songs by a large margin

>>43509618
>third VU album
>better than fucking ABBEY ROAD
list automatically voided

>>43509839
what are the bad songs

>>43509618
>1. the Velvet Underground- the Velvet Underground
White Light/White Heat is better.

>>43509618
1. Scott Walker - Scott 3 (also my favourite album of all time)
2. Bill Evans - Alone
3. Noel Scott Engel - Scott 4
4. Dusty Springfield - Dusty In Memphis
5. International Harvester - Sov Gott Rose Marie
6. Miles Davis - In a Silent Way
7. Karen Dalton - It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You the Best
8. White Noise - An Electric Storm
9. Cromagnon - Orgasm
10. Atlantis - Sun Ra

>>43509824
>muh song writing
that dont make the album innovative m8 sry

>>43509295
Not even the best album by the beatles, let alone in the genre

>>43509858
Abbey Road is lame as hell and the Beatles were good for 2 years total, neither of which are 1969

>>43509884
im not talking about lyrics so much as instrumentation and production...

>>43509869
>White Light/White Heat
>1969

>>43509869
never said otherwise. it came out in 1968.
>>43509881
10/10 list

>>43509884
>>43509725
>>43509684
>>43509593
>>43509487
>implying ever that innovation correlates exactly with quality

>>43509618
1. Scott Walker - Scott 3 (also my favourite album of all time)
2. Bill Evans - Alone
3. Noel Scott Engel - Scott 4
4. Dusty Springfield - Dusty In Memphis
5. International Harvester - Sov Gott Rose Marie
6. Miles Davis - In a Silent Way
7. Karen Dalton - It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You the Best
8. White Noise - An Electric Storm
9. Cromagnon - Orgasm
10. Sun Ra - Atlantis

>>43509896
either way
>muh writing
>muh production
yeah big step forward. they wrote songs you think are better in your opinion and the music is overproduced.

pic related for abbey road

>>43509919
it was recored in 67..,

>>43509944
it was still released in 1968 holy shit dude

>>43509943
they had all matured and been through shit, which makes the record heavier as well as more meaningful because of how forward thinking it is

grow up bitch its a 11/10

>>43509919
>10/10 list
Why thank you. I'm a little surprised King Crimson , Alexander Spence and Merle Haggard missed the list. Consider them all honorary 11th place.

>>43509980
so?

>>43509861
Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Oh Darling
Octopus's Garden
Because
You Never Give Me Your Money
Sun King
Mean Mr. Mustard
Polythene Pam
She Came In Through the Bathroom Window
Carry That Weight
Her Majesty

>>43510016
so my list was of 1969 albums, so there's no reason to mention a 1968 album

>>43510045
>You Never Give Me Your Money
>Because
>Mean Mr. Mustard
>bad
Wow shit taste anon.

>>43509982
it's a 6/10 at best. deal with it you defener

>>43510083
the fact that so many books

>>43509620
yeah

beatles are shit

Threadly reminder that "Yesterday" is better than anything TVU ever wrote.

>>43510144
1969 was such a great year for music. Why does it get shafted as mediocre an album as Abbey Road as its ambassador?

>>43510198
because the general public is full of plebs

>>43510195
But When You Wish Upon a Star is better.

>>43510195
not even the best Beatles track.

>>43510243
yeah, thats not the inner light

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BXu9SzL2Gig

>>43510219
But it's not like Five Leaves Left, Dusty In Memphis or Hot Buttered Soul are inaccessible, or anything.

>>43510278
all shit compared to the beatles

I think you're showing your hand a bit too much now, Anon

Welcome to... Snoop Dogg presents objective facts about music in 1969!
1. Led Zeppelin are arguably the worst band of all time, and BOTH of their albums released in 1969 are better than Abbey Road!
2. The Rolling Stones, always living in the shadows of the Beatles, for the first released an album better than the Beatles album released that year!
3. Nick Drake and Neil Young both released the albums that are considered to be their career starters in this year! it's a good thing the Beatles are terrible in 1969, because two bright new stars appeared!
4. Frank Zappa, arguably the worst talented musician of all time, released his first good album in 1969! and it was better than Abbey Road!
5. the Band, often associated with Bob Dylan, are fucking terrible! that said, their 1969 self-titled is better than Abbey Road!
6. the Stooges, though less credited than the Beatles, released their debut in 1969, which is not only better than Abbey Road, but had more influence on interesting music than the whole Beatles discography!
7. To round out the trio, the Who released Tommy, arguably their worst album ever, in 1969! and it was better than Abbey Road!

Thank you for viewing Snoop Dogg objective facts! Have fun, smoke a blunt, and fuck the Beatles!

The Beatles' 2 albums of 1967 were brilliant. They were able to work well with the general sound of the psychedelic boom of that year. After that, they started to get a little stale.

>>43511286
You got a little stale
