this is alot of effort to put in because you're a beatles fan who got butthurt by something a crustpunk said.... just absolute :brainworms:
Saying you like the Beatles is like saying you like bread and milk.
They're not bad, but they're basically the template for most of the pop bands that came after.
I like temporary secretary and the rest of McCartney 2 unironically wh at does that say about me
I feel that's a problem for a lot of musicians that did a lot of foundational work back in the day. Peeps like us who were born after they blew everybody's minds can only understand their importance in a very abstract manner bc we've all grown up with tons of artists influenced by them, so all the stuff they came up with (or at least helped popularize) appears mundane and boring.
Same for Hendrix. Back in the day, technicians at shows went up to him and were all like "sorry, dude, we just couldn't get rid of all the feedback" because the way he used his guitar was so novel back then. They just didn't get what he was doing. Now almost every guitarist, and definitely every guitarist who plays distorted in any way, has a tone that's at least indirectly influenced by Hendrix and that means when i listen to his songs, they can never have the same impact on me they had on boomers who already were fans of his music in the 60s. They just sound like average rock, but back then, that shit was jawdropping, like listening to Tom Morello making his guitar sound like an angry robot.
The best way to stop being like this is to learn an instrument and how to read music
Im one of those weirdos who is lyrics >>>>>> music, I seem to see music as a lyrics delivery system.
That actually made me more of a snob. It's gotten better over the years, especially after i radicalized and began to see snobbism and fandom warring as bourgeoise follies, but this shit sits deep. It's still a struggle to curb it.
You say that but I want to play folk punk, so I'd likely still like unlistenable nonsense.
Did they sing about dragons? I don't listen to anything that doesn't have lyrics about dragons.
Yeah, okay. Like I need someone to tell me to imagine dragons. 🙄
I like that one a lot. My friend thought I was a stoner or something for listening to it. That was the day I realized it was a metaphor for smoking weed and not just a cute song about having a dragon friend. True story.
I met Peter yarrow and he claims that when they wrote that song, they weren't even into pot yet. The timeline just doesn't check out.
Food for thought.
Thanks, now i'm hearing chad kroeger's raspy, sleazy voice sing this is how you remind me. I just posted that i want to be less of a snob and then somebody inevitably brings up nickelnevermadeitasawisemannevercutitasapoorboystealin oh shit oh fuck make it stop
Never forget that D.O.A. and The Subhumans are Canadian, too.
Also: REBEL REBEL MANITOBA REPRESENT!
who is liking animal collective and not the beatles lol.
I feel like this /mu/ (?) guy would also like the beatles and probably check out r/beatlescirclejerk here and there.je suis
but i really dont think my taste as grating so much as....
..seasoned
Its always something immediately popular, too. The Beetles, the Foo Fighters, Justin Bieber, Kanye, whatever.
You'll never see these guys get on their high horse about how bad Beethoven or Leonard Bernstein is. None of these guys shit on the 1812 Overture or My Fair Lady.
I have never listened to The Beatles because that's old people music. Put away the gramophone and wax cylinders and get with the times, gramps. :big-cool:
