Reply to Creep by Radiohead by Twiztid_Angel_

Honestly, I agree man. Never got it. I get that it would speak to a lot of awkward teens during the MSN messenger days which was my high-school generation. I guess it's kind of like radioheads version of a Weezer song. They were also big with the upper middle class kids at that time. I definately don't get how it stood the test of time. I guess it just speaks as "to each his own". I'm a musician and I've written and recorded in a variety of genres but this huge song has zero effect on me. Weird when you think about it...

Not entirely accurate. The previous album, Innuendo (which is the album you meant when you referred to The Show Must Go On) was the last album he fully worked on before death, and while he did record a bunch of stuff leading up to his death, only three songs made it onto Made In Heaven. Most of the album is comprised of older recordings/his solo work rearranged by the band.

Simply untrue. Industrial hip-hop peaked within the last few years, drumless production has taken off, indie/undie legends are putting out some of their best material, some of the biggest mainstream artists fall under conscious rap, and Open Mike Eagle exists.

If you've stopped listening to the genre then stop commenting on the state that it's in.

Reply to I don't like Lana Del Rey but I don't know why by JunFerra

Being a partial Lana Del Ray fan (some of her work I’m obsessed with and some I’m more hesitant to return to) I think I can say that it’s probably the fact that many of her songs cover complex topics that take while to sink in, even from the beginning of the song. You play it and you’re waiting a while for that part you love. And if you wait long enough, it comes.

Also sometimes she’s very personal to the point of it being uncomfortable, especially in songs when she’s detailing her sex life.

She’s playing a character, doesn’t bother me so did Bowie, Dylan, Madonna and I’m sure loads of other artists. I can understand why it might annoy some people who maybe want something more authentic or sincere. If you want the real deal listen to The Fall - Mark E Smith was the least showbiz guy to ever front a band.

I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying that great music can just as easily come out of not having a producer who might mess with an artist's vision. some of my favorite albums are from artists who never played live beforehand. You can disagree about there being more good music now than before, and thats fine. But what i'm saying is that the availablity of making recorded music has resulted in more music coming out every week that I enjoy, and I'm fine with there being more bad music that comes out too. afterall, I never have to listen to the bad music again, and now I have the opportunity to listen to great music that might not have been able to be created that way 20+ years ago.
