Probably the Music Tapes. I love Julian dearly and the singing saw is a beautiful instrument but I really just can't stand his voice. I've tried and tried and I can't bring myself to listen to anything other than Mary's Voice which is just decent.

>Favorite album

1st Imaginary Symphony is the Music Tapes album I enjoy the least so I guess that one.

>Most overrated
In all honesty, ITAOTS.

The Gerbils - Are You Sleepy? or The Sunshine Fix - Green Imagination

I really like the Bedside Drama, no one else seems to.

None of you seem very deep into the collective, shame.

>>55256209
How can you judge that based on the replies to this thread? Someone can listen to the least known release ever but still think the most underrated release is a Major Organ album, or a Gerbils album.

Get your head out of your ass.

>>55256318
There's a lot worse than the music tapes

>of Montreal

>Major Organ And The Adding Machine

anything else is pleb-tier

>>55256330
To you, maybe. Someone could listen to the Frosted Ambassador and its one album of entirely untitled songs, a jumbled mess of some decent songs mixed with throwaway poo with no semblance of sequencing, but still think that the Music Tapes is worse.

Again, get your head out of your ass. It's literally impossible to accurate judge how much of the collective someone's explored based on their least favorite album, or the album they think is most underrated.

>>55256401
None of the obscure stuff is ever dìscussed in these threads, including this one.

>>55256444
Including what one?

And so what? Honestly, why do you give enough of a shit to post and anonymously call out other people for not begin "in deep" enough? How about you post a link to dl something "le obscure xD" and be friendly enough to just suggest it to people? Then maybe they'll bring it up in another /e6g/? Just be a pleasant person.

>>55256518
Including this thread. I just think it's a shame that the same old bands are endlessly discussed, while others are ignored. I don't really give a shit, since up to now I haven't typed out more than a sentence. I guess I could spoon feed you, but I assume you're old enough to post on this site and therefore able to find and explore music all by yourself. What about my previous posts was unpleasant? How can you be such an oversensitive bitch.

Then talk about the ones that aren't discussed as much.

>I guess I could spoon feed you, but I assume you're old enough to post on this site and therefore able to find and explore music all by yourself.

If you view sharing music with like minded people as spoonfeeding then you're an asshole beyond saving.

>What about my previous posts was unpleasant?

By condescendingly dismissing this entire thread and all prior E6 threads because people haven't listened to "le obscure xD" stuff. That's a dick move, and if you can't see that, then you might legitimately have a social disorder.

>How can you be such an oversensitive bitch.

You can talk to people about music they haven't listened to you idiot. "If you like [well known E6 project] then check out [lesser known E6 project]! They're similar because [list of ways they're similar] and I think they're very good." It's so fucking simple.

And to answer your questions, yes, I've listened to Fablefactory's American Custard. I listened to a MotH song and I didn't like it. I think it was Anything, Anything. No, I do not see your point. I don't bring those bands up because I don't feel very strongly about them. I like them more than the Music Tapes but not as much as NMH.

Do YOU see my point? That it's ridiculous to assume people are ignorant of the collective based on their reply to this thread?

>Harsh, but I would upload anything anybody asked for that I had. If not wanting to do up a whole bunch of uploads nobody is going to download makes me an asshole, than so be it.

No, what makes you an asshole is being condescending because people haven't listened to obscure E6 projects as opposed to SHARING those obscure E6 projects and exposing people to it. This is not complicated.

>I didn't dismiss anything

Yes you did.

>Sorry I don't satisfy your arbitrary standards, softy

>arbitrary

Hilarious.

>>55257585
I honestly don't understand why you are arguing, you just got butthurt because someone expressed their opinion.

>>55257290
Which one of those would you recommend? I see that Fablefactory has Julian and some members from of Montreal so I'm thinking about listening to them first.

>>55257838
>I honestly don't understand why you are arguing

Because his attitude is toxic and detrimental to discussion.

>>55257869
But you seem intent on arguing with someone who doesn't want to argue. And it is unfortunate that we talk about the collective but only the top 10 bands usually.

>>55257924
>But you seem intent on arguing with someone who doesn't want to argue.

He seems willing to argue to me. And in a roundabout way I'm really just trying to facilitate discussion, and somebody rolling and saying "You guys all listen to entry level E6. Shame." is not something that facilitates discussion.

> And it is unfortunate that we talk about the collective but only the top 10 bands usually.

I agree. Maybe if people who are leagues deep in E6 recommended those obscure releases to the people who haven't had the time/interest in exploring the collective, then that wouldn't be a problem.

Again, it's as simple as saying "Hey, if x is your favorite band/album, check out y! Here's a download link!" That accomplishes something and facilitates discussion. If you think it's unfortunate that so few have explored much of the collective, then fix it. Don't bitch about it and be condescending about it. That's the sort of attitude that would just turn someone off of exploring the collective for fear of associating themselves with people who are as pretentious and rude as the guy I've been arguing with.

Seriously, just be constructive, positive, and share music that you think is underrepresented. That's all I'm saying. I shouldn't even need to state that as if it's NOT a given. If you like the collective and think there are projects that aren't talked about enough, TALK ABOUT THEM. Share them, recommend them, provide a link to download with a sample. If even one person downloads that link then you've made that band a little more well known.

>>55258047
He wasn't being pretentious, he was being elitist, which is needed on every popular board/site unless you want it to become shit.

>>55258091
Well, whatever you want to call it, it's not conductive to a meaningful discussion. I'd rather keep elitism/pretentiousnoss/snobbery/whatever out of E6 generals because most E6 fans I know irl are very friendly and chill people, and I'd hope that this attitude exists on /mu/ too, especially in threads dedicated to the collective.

>>55256444
To be fair, there is never much discussion beyond "I like ___"

>>55258137
>and I'd hope that this attitude exists on /mu/ too
No this is /mu/. If you are here, you won't be able to discuss this meaningfully, The people that can are all at the fb group or the e6 messageboards.

For MotH, check out I Am Not a Freemdoom, it's a loose concept about a super dog? It's so random and whimsical, it doesn't really make sense, but it wears the Beach Boys/Beatles influence nicely and sounds great.

For Fablefactory, I'd recommend American Custard, though it starts off pretty slow, it picks up just before half way. Very adult subject matter, but immaturely sung about: "I popped out, you popped out, everybody popped out of a vagina" is the lowest point on the album imo, though the rest is generally well done

>>55257585

Without elitism on the internet you get the same discussion over and over again, like on /mu/. You might not like /a/ but most of it is discussing seasonal anime, and when the next season happens they talk about those shows. Elitism works. Maybe we could discuss non-mucore then.

>>55258245
Well I try I guess.

>>55258356
>I just brought up discussion points about obscure E6 and all you said was "i didn't like it" and "I don't want to talk about it"

Your point was that the problem with these threads is that people haven't listened to those bands. I have. So I don't see your point. Just because I don't find them noteworthy enough to be put on a favorite/least favorite or overrated/underrated list doesn't mean I haven't listened to them and I'm not willing to discuss them.

What's your favorite song from American Custard? Are there other albums worth checking out?

>Of course it's ridiculous, I still don't think it's too inaccurate though

Perhaps not 100% inaccurate but very presumptuous and toxic for no good reason whatsoever. So why say it?

>Soulseek bud, I am on right now. grab some My First Keyboard

You can't search for music on soulseek if you don't know it exists. At least namedrop a band (as you've since done in this thread but only like 10 posts into our argument) and let people find it on their own. But a person won't know to search up Fablefactory on soulseek if they don't know what it is or that it exists.

>Your overt positive attitude is toxic

I'm not being overtly positive, I'm asking you to be constructive. You've proven that you can be by recommending starting albums to that one guy.

>>55258369
Non-mucore? Do you know what you're even saying? People have listed off well known E6 bands that aren't mucore here.

>>55255699
OTC is best
Of Montreal is worst
Circulatory System is underrated

>>55258492
People can easily search a list of elephant 6 bands and search them. They can also just go the the elephant 6 forums to learn about them, you don't need to be spoonfed to learn about bands from one label. Maybe in real life this works, but we are on the internet.

>>55258520

>People can easily search a list of elephant 6 bands and search them. They can also just go the the elephant 6 forums to learn about them, you don't need to be spoonfed to learn about bands from one label.

Some people may not have the time or interest to spend hours upon hours upon hours downloading every single E6 project to the point where they're listening to bands with less than 500 listeners on lastfm. There are certainly duds in the collective and I'm sure people are just wary of that. If you suggest a band to them then they're more likely to make an effort to check it out. That's not spoonfeeding, that's giving a recommendation and leaving it up to them to find it on their own. And it accomplishes exactly what you want: it's one more person who will listen to the album/band that you think is obscure and not talked about enough in E6 threads. Why wouldn't you want that?

>damn, Drunken Dragonfly isn't a song, so I would say Monument Ave. or Interstellar Shopping Mall.

I think I like Drunken Dragonfly more as a title than a track to be totally honest. ISM is a favorite of mine too though. I'm Sick I Am is probably my overall favorite.

>But that's what RYM is for

Not everyone uses RYM, nor does everyone even know what the E6 townhall is.

>One extreme is just as bad as another. Moderation, m8.

How are any of those overtly extreme?

>But that is spoon feeding. You're getting the "food" right to your lips and sure you don't have to bite, but you are definitely not holding your own spoon. Just cause i'm not giving you a mega link, doesn't mean you're doing any work.

Inaccurate analogy. Holding the food to the lips would be providing a mega link; they don't have to bite (aka download) but it's there.

Just namedropping a band is equivalent to saying "Hungry? There's some cereal in the kitchen somewhere. Find it and feed yourself." That, in accordance to this analogy, is not spoonfeeding at all.

>>55259159
Oh, I misread your post. Yeah this thread has been pretty shallow in terms of discussion.

>>55259210
Why didn't you just drop this to begin with and say something like "You guys don't seem to be familiar with a lot of the lesser known projects. My chart has a lot of them on there, check them out"

Whatever, if you're leaving then I guess you won't answer that question, but I doubt you would have a rational answer.

anyway I guess I'm out too. thread's dead anyway.
