Lyrics are very important to me, even if that does sound musically shallow, and these are three excellent contemporary lyricists.

Fuck yes dude, best Burroughs.
Have you read the rest of the Western Lands series? I tried to read The Place of Dead Roads and it seemed like a major step down.

Books:
-East of Eden by John Steinbeck
-Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
-Last one is probably tied between the Schrödinger's Cat Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson, and Principia Discordia by Malaclypse the Younger and Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst (the two tie because they're favorites for different reasons)

Musicians (I always change these though)
-Steely Dan
-Queens of the Stone Age
-J.S. Bach

I think this thread confirms a correlation. People with horrible taste in literature have horrible taste in music.

I am aware of this dude and I just re read the article. There is no denying that the Beatles were not incredibly inventive and that they merely only wrote 3 minute catchy pop ditties.Many Many Many extremely catchy 3 minute pop ditties.

The rest of this article is largely inaccurate. His statements about music history are fabricated (there are no sources). Mostly he is upset that the Beatles weren't political in nature and avant garde in their music. He claims musicians dislike the Beatles and the music of the Mama's and Papa's, the Kinks and the Beach Boys beat the Beatles at their own game. (Brian Wilson in a recent interview with Howard Stern [probably on youtube] stated that his life changed when he first heard Sgt. Pepper and fully inspired went immediately to the piano and began writing Pet Sounds). Scaruffi also states that the Beatles emulated the Beach Boys for most of their career.

>>3828081
YFW Pet Sounds was released in '66 and Peppers in '67.

Pet Sounds was inspired by the work the Beatles did on Rubber Soul and Revolver. Brian Wilson was writing "Smile" his conceptual album when Pepper dropped, and he was so in awe of what the Beatles did that he literally scrapped the whole fucking album and didn't release it until like thirty years later.

You just spouted off factually inaccurate shit and seem to think all Beatles songs are three minutes long? Dude any Beatles album after '66 is conceptually and musically a masterpiece due to it's complexity and writing. Some of the songs might be throw aways, but 90% was unbroken ground and completely novel in every way.

Very accessible

>>3828234
My experience is that while Mozart is accessible, he has a lot of depth. In many of his later symphonies his technical mastery matches his creativity to remarkable ends. I studied him for a couple of years but my love belongs to the impressionist movement. Baroque still holds me as well, there is something about the precision of baroque strings.

>>3828258
I can't stand impressionism. It's boring as hell.

>>3828263
It was the first musical movement to move away from the norm. They took the technical skill from all that came before, and broke the rules. I imagine the over emoting composer stuck in a room throwing papers about. It simply seems more organic, like breaking a glass, you chose to break it, but the pieces shatter against your will. I understand the counterpoint, however dissonant chords are simply spectacular.

If your band isn't named after a mathematic formula used in cricket you lose.

The Age of Revolution from his Duckworth-Lewis Method album is a top tune with some decent lyrics.

Admittedly I can't get into the music on that album like The Divine Comedy. Still I like the lyrics and aesthetic and I'm excited for the new album.

Master and Margarita
The Inheritors
Riddley Walker

Pink Floyd
Thelonious Monk
Talking Heads

But who the hell knows ask tomorrow it may be different

Oh yeah, it's not on the same level as his serious music ( and I'm not mad about Pugwash), it's just a great summer album that get's me hyped for the Ashes.

It's alright, although since it's a earlier work by Hesse it's a bit more straightforward and rougher with character development compared to his later books.

Personally my favorites have been Steppewolf and Narcissus & Goldmund; Demian's a great introduction to his style but I didn't like Siddhartha as much as I thought I was going to. It's still decent though.

If you ever play a musical instrument or join a band Mozart is a lot of fun to perform. I'm definitely not as into classical music as many people on this board and /mu/, but I must say that in high school and the public concert bands I play in the most fun I've had was with The Impresario (although it was a condensed overture, not the actual opera)

Also Rhapsody in Blue. That song is amazing.
