I'm crying right now. That was absolutely hillarious ! Come on guys. Snap out of it. For one, the guy was obviously in some sort of hate phase, and decided to rag on not really mostly the music...but society as a whole's bias towards a certain preference of popular music.
It's very transparent what he did. He was going for the rabble rousing value, and it most definetely worked. Anyway, why anyone would care what another person whose life is inconsequential to them thinks about the music that they loved, is absurd. Just take it for what it is...nothing more than some dude having fun with peoples heads.
What makes it a brilliant list, is that there is much truth in what he says about many of the albums...cause yeah, alot of those DO suck. I'm gonna agree with Bitches Brew for sure...that was Miles at his incoherant best. Definetely an album for the pseudo preppy wanna be's that just think it's cool to own something that is hardly worth anything musically. (Just MY opinion peeps...doesn't mean ya have to flame me...you can like it if you find that it's priceless to you...cause it just may be)
But then you have this golden nugget

ohn Coltrane - Giant Steps
Most jazz created after the Big Band era is essentially musical masturbation (and like masturbation, if you must do it, you should do it in private!). It's self-indulgent noodling interesting only to the person playing it, a few fetishists, and lots of pseudo-intellectuals and wannabe hipsters who have to pretend to like it because it's "cool." Like *****, it's dismissive of and degrading to both the performer and the viewer. People who watch ***** do so alone for a reason... it's embarrassing. Some pornos are glossier and prettier than others, and Coltrane may be the John Holmes of jazz, but ***** is still *****, and Giant Steps is still a tedious, embarrassing, snoozer of an album |
THAT .....is funny. Coltrane is the John Holmes of Jazz..I nearly peed my pants on that one !
While it's true that alot of people simply own the album because it bears the "cool" factor" and never actually listen to it...I highly doubt that this guy listened to it either. There are brilliant passages throughout the album. But that's what makes this guy so funny..he mixes in truth which he somehow manages to find, and mixes it in with stuff that comes out his ass. I love it.
I mean come on...To even think of putting DSOTM in there along with Celine Dion ? ROFLMAO !
