I don't really have a favorite album. But this will do, I guess.

Talking heads is dull. Nothing on that album has a gratifying hook, much less any musical or lyrical transendence. It's just some crap you'd throw on at the 80's party when people start doing coke. The only reason people speak of them is because they were in New York, or something. The Maroon 5 of the 1970s/80s.

>>14826910
The Coming Race

not my favorite but i've been listening a lot the last couple months. only books i've read this year are blood meridian, savage detectives, and stoner.

Pic related and Rage Against the Machine self-titled.

>>14826928
half of the songs are moving between continuous hook to a once in a song part you wait for to come. they are absolutely gratifying.

>>14826928
I agree to some extent. I actually think Talking Heads are great overall but I’ve kinda felt this album is overrated to a certain degree. I’ll say there are two good tracks: “Born Under Punches” and “Once in a Lifetime.” Stop Making Sense, Fear of Music, Speaking in Tongues, True Stories, More Songs about Buildings and Food... all better albums. Sorry, now I feel like I’m just shitting on the anon that picked the album as his favorite. I still respect your taste.

I love the lyrics on New Dawn Fades

Change of speed, a change of style
A change of scene, with no regrets
A chance to watch, admire the distance
Still occupied, though you forget

Different colours, different shades
Over each mistakes were made, I took the blame
Directionless, so plain to see
A loaded gun won't set you free, so you say


We'll share a drink and step outside
An angry voice and one who cried
We'll give you everything and more
The strain's too much, can't take much more

Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire
Can't seem to feel it anymore

It was me, waiting for me
Hoping for something more
Me, see me in this time
Hoping for something else

you have to have an incredibly narrow taste in music to be able to say you have a single favorite album.

What is this band. I was exposed to it for the first time today when at a record store. I didn't pay any attention to it and flipped past but my second ever exposure to them being hours later in a completely different environment makes me curious about them now.

Blue Oyster Cult. If anybody's even heard if them, or remembers them.

I want something to uplift my pessimism, or at least keep me going, through this corrupt world.

I love this album and introduced a lot of people to this band, even my Svensk friend from backinnaday who was from Stockholm and posted the live videos of them on YouTube from like 12 years ago when B was still alive. Having a hard time pairing it to anything though.. maybe something from Tolstoy? Something bleak but uplifting

My Twisted World by Elliot Rogers (hated this album)


Since Janny has banned me from posting images for saving that Putin hominid morphic picture onto my phone, I'll have to write mine out here, and I want some recs for Bob Dylan's '64 debut since he got a Nobel in lit for recording albums

fuck u oasis is good

Why do people hurt each other

Is there anything I can do about this? If so what is it?

I can't stand music. Instead of simply writing your thoughts, feelings, ideas etc you whine them into a microphone and other morons think "wow that's so deep" because there's some emotional music in the background.

At least classical music actually evokes emotion through its own composition. Music with singing in it is just cheap.

I don't feel anything with classical music but you are right about vocals. Vocals usually ruin good melodies.

Vocals are a layer of music, listening to what's being said is always optional. And it's not as if classical music never has lyrics

This. I’m kind of disappointed in the lack of variation. This thread is 70% /mu/core. Lit talks about the same 5 authors all the time though so I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised.

Very based picks, anons.

Had a hard time picking which album is my no. 1 favourite ever, but I had to go with Brand New's 'The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me'.

ITT RYM's top 1000

Not my favorite but I want a book that has the same kind of feel as the music video
