Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!

[Benhawaii]

heres my hot take;

twenty years from now folks will still be discovering de la soul, tribe, etc. and nobody will be hoping post malone, lil uzi vert etc tour again. but those dudes will still most likely tour at your local hooters or shitty casino in tandem to make ends meet.

100% agree but I don't think that's a hot take at all?

You’ve found a few hundred sore spots in this thread...

Isn't that the point?

Within reason there’s a big difference between the odd hot take and coming across all



Because the young uns don’t share your taste

But why are you picking giants from then and chart minnows from now?

Because there is no doubt that in 2039 people will be discovering music from this decade!

Do I come across that way? I enjoy a lot of newer stuff but I also think most of the stuff out there is crap. Felt the same way 20 years ago too.

To a point. If does feel like you are a bit sharp of the mark to crap on modern hip hop for not being fhe stuff from the 80s/90s. That said it’s not my area at all so you may well be right...

Survivor bias.. nobody talks about most of the shitty groups from the 80s and 90s so I don't have to talk about how trash they are but you can see me rag on all sorts of 90s rap acts. My criticism is not based on eras at all.

Fair enough! I do sometimes think it’s unfair though to equate new/ok but kinda fun artists with the greats. I mean I enjoy loads of new artists but let’s face it they ain’t gunna be The Beatles so I don’t compare, I enjoy them for what they are...

That’s not a hot take it’s The Killers best song, by a distance. Mr Brightside is weirdly overrated I prefer at least 3 other songs on Hot Fuss to it. It is on the good first half of Hot Fuss as opposed to the soporific second half!

Mr.Brightside hasnt left the UK charts since '04. It's a hot take to some people evidently

 

[Count_Vader]

Lana's > The Hollies' > Radiohead's

My first introduction to Lana was her godawful SNL performance

 

[Count_Vader]

So what you’re saying is that if Jeffrey Epstein was a rap fan we’d see Drake’s name on the Lolita Express flight logs more than Bill Clinton, eh?

Yep

Singles charts don’t mean anything anymore since streaming came into the equation. It’s not proper are still going into a shop and buying a 7” or cd.

Singles charts were usually about airplay I believe, so it’s not that different.

Not in the uk. There were two singles charts.

The official one was sales only and was the one people cared about. The NME started it in the 50s and the good old BBC broadcast it on a Sunday night. We all used to be glued to it taping songs off the radio.

The unofficial one was on commercial radio and they added in commercial radio plays. It was widely ignored.

This isnt a hot take, just you being upset. Also you're comparing legit hip hop artists to pop stars. Its apples and oranges.

Also Lil Uzi Vert rules

 

[Woob_woob]

I actually thought there'd be a person to try n argue with me about how he had more than one

Now this is a hot take.

Drake has some great singles, but not a single great album.

Wand put out a better Radiohead album (that’s the vibe I get, 90’s Radiohead) this year with “Laughing Matter” than Radiohead has in the last 19 years.

Also thanks @Woob_woob for the rec.

I'd say 16 years since I love Hail to The Thief, but yea that Wand album rules and gives off heavy "if Radiohead never went the Kid A route" vibes.

Glad you like it. Go see them live if you get a chance, they rip.

Yes! I gave it a listen a few days ago, and loved it. Thanks for passing that on. As far as Radiohead comparisons, I'd put it on the same level as A Moon Shaped Pool (which is better than in rainbows).
