Or you for that matter.

The funny thing is that you don't even know what I listen to but yet on random occasions attack my "indie elitist pseudo intelligent pitchfork loving ideologies" that really just don't exist. I don't know what you have against me really. I dig a few mm albums?

The Bends is 50 or so minutes of grovel that isn't accessible. It's monotonous.

What the fuck seriously, Eminems music is basically all him bitching about how his mom mistreated him, writing annoying songs about his daughter and killing his wife. Hes way more whiny than Tupac.

Indeed he is much more whiny than Tupac. But he is very lyrically talented as well - I prefer him to Tupac as a rapper.

I have heard Drakes voice being described as everything from beautiful to etheral. Unfortunately this is incorrect. Try a foghorn that barely works anymore. He has a tone of a cow and the passion of someone who just wants to get it over with and dosen't care about the end product at all. He sounds half asleep the whole damn time, in terms of vocals, guitar playing and songwriting. This is the most lazy album I have ever heard in my life.

Don't forget the spirtual mumbo jumbo bullsh*t lyrics that people only like to criticize when its done by people with instrumental and vocal talent, but when its done by this assh0le it must be a masterpiece.

I like Pink Moon, even if it can get a bit repetitive in parts.

But I do think that singer/songwriters (especially ones who are dead) get ridiculously overhyped though.

You don't like the Bends? You sure?

I'm not saying Nick Drake is, I'm saying singer/songwriters tend to get overhyped (especially if they're dead). E.g. Jack Johnson

Nevertheless Nick Drake wouldn't be as popular as he is if he didn't die. As to whether he's overhyped... I can't tell. Most of the people who worship/rep him seem to be of the alt/indie crowd, and while I listen to a lot of alt rock, I don't talk to too many genuine alt/indie loving people. So I don't know if they overhype him.

Musicians tend to get hyped if they die, not just singer/songwriters. Dimebag? Kurt Cobain? And dude, Jack Johnson isn't dead.

Nick Drake didn't blow up after he died, Nick Drake didn't even get much notice until the whole indie-folk revival with stuff like Iron and Wine and Owen recently. If he hadn't died he'd probably have done a Vashti Bunyan and just have disappeared for a long time until and than come back start recording again when he actually had an audience. He'd be just as popular if he was still alive, he'd just have more material he might even be more popular.

There you go again twisting what I say.

I never said Jack Johnson died, but he's an example of an overhyped songwriter. And I agree all musicians tend to get hyped if they die, not just singer/songwriters.

I'm not saying he was overhyped at all because I don't know if he was (like I said in the other post), but I'll just point out that the overhyping-after-dying thing doesn't have to be immediate.
