Does the "DMB" in your sig stand for "Dave Matthews Band"?

 

yes, I'm in love with early DMB.

I shouldnt say clark and luke vibert, its much better then a lot of shit, but I feel its a bit overated comparing a couple of totally underated electronic artist

[doublename]

Way to own that shit, bruh.

I think Clark is one of a kind. No-one does his specific breed of choons.

 

 

I wish more people did drums like this:

 

 

 

As a jazz enthusiast, Murphy, I would think that you would fucking love Body Riddle: It's kinda the closest I've ever heard an electronic musician get to Elvin Jones' loose, swirling rhythms.

I do like clark, especially body riddle. For me, body riddle is by far his best album. I prefer his first three album way more then his three after Youve likely posted my favorite clark song there!

 

Still, the fact that he is held in such high regard is a bit overated. I dont say he makes bad music, no at all. but theres better artist out here. However, clark would likely make my top 20 EDM artist.

 

I mean come on, nobody talks about secede, proem or ochre at all. Its just unfair

Overated: luke vibert

underrated - lusine

 

Been loving Lusine lately - discovered A Certain Distance recently and can't stop listening

[Nebraska]

overrated:

kendrick lamar's to pimp a butterfly: blows my mind that this album received/and continues to receive so much acclaim. sounded very mediocre to me

 

underrated:

 

camp lo's ragtime hightimes: did anyone even notice these guys released a new album?

[WeAreOceans]

overrated:

kendrick lamar's to pimp a butterfly: blows my mind that this album received/and continues to receive so much acclaim. sounded very mediocre to me

 

hipsters praising pop music is the new hipster

 

for real though I agree, but I don't listen to much hip hop

[Silent Member]

I don't understand what people see in Pink Floyd. I find their music incredibly boring. To my ears they're massively overrated, my big idiot ears.

i don't see a lot written about Haptic, maybe they're appropriately rated.. Excess of Vision is pretty dope, though. the second track, especially

It is, but I think Kendrick is a lot less of a "pop" artist than someone like Beyonce, who lately receives massive praise from the likes of Pitchfork.

 

good kid, m.A.A.d city deserves all the praise it gets, in my opinion, but To Pimp a Butterfly feels quite overblown. "The Blacker the Berry" is an insanely good song though.

Have you heard the song "The Trial"?

 

 

Sent from my pee-pee using poo-poo

[cwmbrancity]

You cant really hate an institution like Floyd, it'd be like hating the Grateful Dead during those peak Pigpen years (fk RH y'all)

 

"Overhead the albatross shits in my hair,...blah blah"

 

yeah its overplayed is the problem, rather than the qualty

 

there were some fuckin awful prog bands, total Spinal Tap theater Rick Wakeman styles, but Floyd werent 1 of them

 

always found them v upper middle class Anglo-Saxon in interviews, reticent but arrogant too with that emotional reserve that i cant stand, but as a sonic theme their sounds were pretty havinit, specifically the Syd B tunes.

 

theres so much good music everywhere from that whole period, its like a universe in itself

 

Hawkwind are a sort of cosmic theater, but at least their music had soul and balls, and just look at all the German releases that remain timeless & Terry Riley's Theater of Eternal Music/Dream House lp is F8

 

Andrew Liles and Stephen Stapleton continue to amaze, although how they keep it all going is anyone's guess, the quality control is buy on sight

I know a few friends who feel the same. Though myself definitely not included!

[LimpyLoo]

I think The Wall movie is a masterful achievement of the highest order

[bendish]

Feel bad saying overrated but that Jlin album...

 

It's got at least two no 1s on best of 15 lists and I cannot for the life of me figure why....

 

i guess that goes for all footwork though....

 

Rob Clouth is pretty underrated...there aren't many gush fests about him in these parts which is odd

 

As far as hip hop goes....KA is underrated as is Breezly Brewin...
