Except you're wrong, and that's okay. You're allowed to be. There aren't any other skippable songs on that record.

You could also just stop for two seconds and realize that it is completely subjective. Just because you view a song as "skippable" doesn't make it some universal truth. There are no objectively good or bad songs, or songs that objectively ruin an album.

You can skip as many as you want. You don't even have to listen to it at all. I'm just saying the song that I would have taken off the album is that one.

Bobby Charles - Bobby Charles

Perfect album, and you can seem cool as hell knowing about this obscure 70's masterpiece that no one talks about.

Revolution No. 9

Look, I respect the hell of out it. It's experimental, and audacious, and the very idea that the Beatles would include a "song" like this on one of their albums is probably one of the things that made me first fall in love with the Beatles, back in high school when I was taking a lot of acid...having said that...it's just too damn long. It is the only Beatles song on any Beatles album that I ever hit "skip" on.

I would definitely know Playboi and Nas are the same genre.

Now listen to something like Coltrane's Giant Steps next to Armstrong's version of Hello Dolly next to Birdland by Weather Report. A genre like Jazz just has so many more directions it can go off on than Hip-hop or virtually any other genre, because of how it plays with modes, and rhythms, and chord progressions. It really makes Hip Hop seems very homogenous in comparison.

I don't get it. OG = orginal. How can your original lineup not be your first lineup?

If by "OG" lineup, you mean their "best" lineup, then I disagree about Pink Floyd. They were never anywhere near as creative as when Syd was writing the songs. They were still good, but Syd was on another level.

You're a moron, but at least you picked a perfect username. I will give you that.

I just said "I'm not a big King Gizz fan" (though they are 1000x better than QOTSA), but for some reason they are my "saviors". Grow up kid. You can just not like bands. It's fine. I don't go starting threads about how bad QOTSA is. I just don't listen to them. That's what adults do. Listen to what you like and don't pay attention to stuff you don't. You'll get it one day.

You're insane if you honestly think any band playing hard rock alternative music is influenced by QOTSA. You need to get out of your little bubble and learn more about music.

I'm not defending King Gizz. I'm just saying the band you are obsessed with is awful, so why would anyone care aobut what you have to say about the bands they like?

That's pretty funny coming from a Queens of the Stone Age fan.

=- They’re essentially a Grateful Dead without the technical chops(Grateful Dead can also fuck right off

​

LOL. Tell me you've never heard King Gizz or the Grateful Dead without telling me you've never heard either band.

I can't think of two bands that are more different. King Gizz is basically a psychedelic alt-rock/thrash metal band. The Grateful Dead are a rootsy Americana dance band. King Gizz have no Americana, or rootsiness in their sound at all. The Grateful Dead have ZERO heavy metal or alternative rock influence in their sound.

It's like saying that "John Legend is basically The Clash without the technical chops." The two have nothing at all to do with each other.

It almost sounds like it's written by an AI, but I don't even think an AI can be that out of tocuh with reality.

I'll tell you what you don't want to do is get old and have all your friends start getting married and having kids.

A tough part is just getting people out of their houses. I'd suggest always jamming at the drummers house since moving the drums is always the biggest hurdle to getting the band together. But yeah, it's tough, and it doesn't get any easier as you get older.

Great answer. So many great albums.

People call Blind Melon a one hit wonder, though they had few hits here in Canada. Regardless, they have two incredible studio albums and one awesome posthumous collection of rarities (RIP Shannon). I'd say their first self-titled album is an 8/10 and their second is a 9/10, though I'd happily call both a 10 certain days of the week.

A great example I recently learned of was Bobby Charles, who wrote the hit song "See You Later Alligator", which is where that expression comes from, in the 1950's, and it was made famous by Bill Haley. But Bobby has an amazing album from 1972 just called Bobby Charles that is produced by Rick Danko (The Band) and features Dr John on keyboards, and (I'm 90% sure) all of the Band on other instruments throughout, which they weren't allowed to publicize because of record label stuff. But you can clearly hear Robbie's guitar, and Garth's organ and accordian in a few of the songs.

Anyway, that self-titled Bobby Charles album is one of the best and most underrated albums of the 70's, or any decade, and no one even knows his name because his one hit wasn't even made famous by him.

It's not a debate. It's not subjective.

Earl Sweatshirt's biggest song on Spotify has over 100 million listens. Ice JJ Fish (who no one has ever heard of) only has one song over 1 million and it's less that 10 million.

For a beginner what? Like somone who has never heard music before?

Do you mean like a baby or something? Maybe lullabys, or Wheel's on the Bus or something like that. That alpahbet song was a good one. Happy Birthday is another big one that...it's really sad if you've never heard it, but it's a pretty vital one to learn I guess.

I can't imagine an adult or even teenager could go 13-14 years without ever hearing music before. But I guess, if that somehow were the case...I'd probably just say start with the Beatles. Maybe Rubber Soul or Revolver. It would all be so confusing though I guess not knowing what a drum is, or a guitar, or singing, but yeah, if I'd never heard any of that before, the Beatles would be a perfect way to learn what singing is and a guitar, and just songs in general. I'm going with that.

Street People - Bobby Charles

It makes the happier songs sound happier...and vice versa. Nice to have balance in life.

Sounds like you got Zamfir'd.

Anything by the Supremes, Smokey and the Miracles, Stevie Wonder (at least up until the 80's), Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke. Really though, The Supremes are so underrated. I don't think they have a single song that is less than great.

Aretha Franklin's "I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You" is one of the greatest R&B albums front to back at a time when R&B was more focused on singles than albums. Highly highly recommend that one.

It's a legendary song. Not too much to add other than what you said.

If you want to check out an interesting cover, listen to the last song on Mike Watt's 1995 album "Ballhog or Tugboat", which features J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr doing the guitar solo and Bernie Worrell (from Funkadelic) on the keys...and Watt on bass. It's a real dirty version. Check out that whole album though if you want an amazing combination of 90's musicians all in one place (Frank Black, Eddie Vedder, Evan Dando, Mark Lanegan, Mike D, and a lot more), but that Maggot Brain is a cool version.

Today I would say:

The Beatles - Revolver

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Spacemen 3 - The Perfect Prescription

The Replacements - Let it Be

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue/Bitches Brew/In A Silent Way/On the Corner/Tribute to Jack Johnson

John Coltrane - Giant Steps/My Favorite Things/A Love Supreme

The Fireman (Paul McCartney) - Rushes

Brian Eno - Ambient 1, Music for Airports

Frank Zappa - Jazz From Hell

The Beatles - A Day in the Life (Sgt. Pepper)

Prince - Purple Rain (PR)

Ween - Fluffy (12 GCG)

Love - You Set the Scene (Forever changes)

The Replacements - Can't Hardly Wait (Pleased to Meet Me)

Yeah, Friday is really the only day that does anything for me. I do like Kendrick, Vulf, and Portugal the Man a lot. Saturday I like My Morning Jacket, Tyler Childers and STS9. And Sunday is basically....I would just leave. There's pretty much nothing for me there. So 10 acts was probably overshooting it a bit. I've seen three of the six acts I like live already...anyway, I've said what I have to say about this lineup. It's not for me.

Also, I'm 90% sure I heard that Men I Trust song on XMU on the way to work this AM. It's pretty alright.
