Yeah it's my second favorite behind Revolver. The only Beatles albums I'll even listen to really
Because it's a mess of an album.

Abbey Road tho
Morrison had a grating voice.
Jay Rock "90059" ft. Lance Skiiiwalker
M-m-maybe y'all are right about TDE. This sounds like it fell off an old Wu-Tang truck.
Rock lightweight comes hard as fuck
Why he told dude to channel the spirit of ODB's son though? I have no idea.
I agree with this...can't get into that happy go lucky Beatles shit.
I love my Beatles on LSD and having beards.

Outside of maybe Prince you can't name anyone with a better string of albums than Stevie Wonder.

Not anymote of a mess than let it be.
It is humorous that they threw away the concept like 2 tracks deep though for Sgt pepper.
So says the Danny Brown stan
This. He's also pretentious af. I still think their self-titled is decent.

In Music? Or black rnb?
Because Bob Dylan's run in the 60s is ridiculous. Magical,even.
Partly true. Way more interesting than some of those albums you had ahead of it tho.
Why not?
Really, damn. I love Morrison's voice. Suites the music perfectly.
They don't interest me
We don't have to do this.
Pretentiousness doesn't matter in musicians for me. That's basically a given. Insert a Kanye joke cause it's courage.
It bleeds into his music. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't.

Sway interview with J Cole, plus a YG interview
Pretty cool to see Cole winning. I've felt some type of way about dismissing FHD so quickly and went back to it recently. It definitely has some dope songs - if you like his mixtapes, which most of us did, there's really no reason for you not to like songs like January 28th or 03 Adolescence. Still the album has a variety of problems to me, specifically production wise. Dude needs to just admit the L and have someone else handle his drums.

Cole is definitely the one I want to see win out there. I'm not a real fan of his rapping or anything like that, but he comes from my school of rap, and clearly has a good head on his shoulders. I'm happy to see him selling out MSG and going platinum without all the extra industry BS. Good interview.

FHD had a few more outside producers (!llmind, Cardiak, Vinylz, Willie B), but his first two CDs as well as as all of the mixtapes were pretty much all him.
And while a guy who puts in the work behind the mic and boards is admirable, he really could use more variety and style in the beats he chooses to rap on. No I.D. is his big homie and he has Jay on speed dial, surely he has access to the best producers in the world. He should tap into them more on his future projects.
GOAT Stevie song...

I remember when I heard this song for the first time and it blew my mind. It just felt so timeless its not even funny.

Yea. At this point we pretty much know a Cole album is gonna be 60% string sections and soft drums. He experimented a bit on FHD, there's some trap influences...but overall I agree he needs to try something new.
overcast beat you to the punch
The Who are also kinda overrated. Bob Dylan is annoying some times. Queen is played out to the point that I wanna shut off there hits as soon as they come on, Jimi Hendrix wasn't that great of a songwriter, every AC/DC song sounds the same, Led Zeppelin is cool but making through complete albums is a chore, Aerosmith is bubblegum bullshit with nice melodies and cornball topics, Pink Floyd kicked out the only truly genius member of their band within the first few years of their inception.

The Guess Who > The Who, for me

The Who's best album was that one with baba o reilly and also i liked their concept albums. Can't really listen to that band now though.
80s/early 90s U2 > Queen tbh. Tho I've grown up to appreciate Joy Division >>> both.
King Crimson > Pink Floyd (with or without Syd) but Wish You Were Here is the best album of either imo.
Rolling Stones > Beatles > Led Zeppelin too while we're doing this dust-bowl ranking

I agree with most of this. Queen is still legendary in my eyes, can't hate.
Pink Floyd is overrated as fuck.

Maybe but Control is still the only music biopic I care for.
My man love The Guess Who, Jimi also swagger jacked Arthur Lee of Love. Love is one of best classic bands that no one bumps.
Yeah love them both, but I'm an Ian stan. If you can't handle true darkness and depressive emotion though I can see how you might think that.
