Best agreeement: Elliott Smith, though I still think his S/T or U/T, whatever you wanna call it, is his best. He doesn't really have a bad album though.

Worstest disagreement: Barrett Floyd, just for Jugband Blues, Pow R. Toc H., and Interstellar Overdrive mainly.

I may have enjoyed Barrett a bit more if I wasn't exposed to Rogers when I started listening to Pink Floyd.

Elliott Smith's self titled is pretty damn good. I also don't think any of his albums are bad. New Moon is probably the only one I can think of that is potentially hit and miss. But that's not Elliott's fault considering the album is posthumous.

Karen is the only acceptable female vocalist.

Serious shoes to fill for the rest of them.

I absolutely can not stand his production. It's godawful. He uses so much studio ****ery it sounds as hollow and cheap as a Ross Robinson nu-metal album.

Well KI, you made a good thread. I agree with on Pink Floyd. They are not that great of a band anyway. I mean this is one of the rock bands that are nothing special. Ac/Dc made some great music though they had their pitfalls. I listened to one Ac/Dc back in 2008, it was classic material. I think Ac/Dc will make great music for years to come. I love this band. The only problem is that their lead singer is a Janis Joplin wannabe. I am referring to John Anderson. He tries to copy Joplin too much.

Obviously we disagree. I think his production exceeds a lot of production quality from a number of bands. His Deconstruction album was one of the best metal albums released in my opinion.

There was nobody by the name of John Anderson in ACDC. What are you talking about?

I must have meant Bon Scott. Regardless he is a Janis Joplin wannabe

How on earth does Bon Scott sound anything like Janis Joplin?

#89: Sufjan Stevens

• This artist was recommended to me because I like Elliott Smith. Um... 0_o
• I started off listening to The Age of Adz, I was thoroughly disappointed. I was expecting something a bit more calm and easy to the ears, and all I heard was a lot of overdone electro pop.
• I'm sure he would probably be good live, but I was really hoping to hear more of an acoustic indie artist who uses nothing but his guitar and vocals. Instead it was just vocals and noise.

One song that really seemed to just drag on, was this one:

You listened to the wrong album, that one is his experimental album and it stands completely apart from his others. While that one is electro pop pretty much all of his other stuff is very akin to Elliott Smith(though nowhere near as good in my opinion).

Next time you see the Doc, ask him to change your medication.

Getting Jon Anderson, Bonn Scott and Janis Joplin all mixed up!:rolleyes:

nah he's right

i also think that Michael Jackson sounds like Jimi Hendrix and is a poor copycat of him

He even spelled it 'John Anderson'.

So apparently he really likes country: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Anderson_(musician)

Yep he could be talking about the country artist who is spelt John Anderson. Most people on here, don't really take Franco seriously anyway, if you want some proof wade through this.

Oh I remember reading through that thread a few weeks ago. I don't really take him seriously either. He's actually on another forum that i'm on, and nobody takes him seriously there either.

i've already stopped for some time

he, at least, is entertaining, unlike somebody like The Virgin whose sole purpose is to put bugs up your ass

Ha, I kicked ass in that thread!

Males and bums, Franco doesn't really approve of anything like that, its just not natural.

Anyway, I'll have a new post of an artist I like in a day or so. I think a lot of people may like it.

Big mistake starting with The Age Of Adz, that's a showing of Sufjan's experimental side he's been toying with lately.

If you want just guitar and vocals...definitely listen to Seven Swans or Michigan. Illinoise! Is fantastic too, but for just simple guitar and vocals, you have to listen to those two.


Sufjan Stevens - To Be Alone With You + LYRICS - YouTube

Sufjan Stevens - Lyrics - For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti - YouTube

I appreciate that feedback guys. I'll check those out.

i'm the last person in the world to offer any good opinion of Sufjan, since i only have Illinoise

but i loved it

Thank you for introducing me to Elliott Smith.

Personally I love the Age of Adz, but I wouldn't recommend it first to anyone either.

Age of Adz is great in my book.

I take it you like his stuff?

It's a good album on it's own, but with the expectations I had upon listen, it was disappointing. Now that I know it isn't meant for a starter album, I can probably give it another listen and enjoy it.

Hey, out of curiosity, what movie is your avatar from? Some sort of mockumentary I presume?

I think he was talking about the goofl11. whose avatar is a poster for The Big Lebowski, which is a coen brothers comedy. except the actors are replaced with famous musicians and the supporting cast is changed as well.

Just in internet joke image i beleive.

Urban posted a link to a site that had some great movie posters done as if they were in the 40's/50's/70's etc. That was my favourite.

No, I was talking to the guy currently known as Ki. Smith, in that photo, with his soul patch, "unique" bracelets, and - uh - the take on hockey hair, looks... umm.. well, like a character from a mockumentary.

I changed it. Not for any reason. Just wasn't quite right.

#88: Steely Dan

• Great for when you want to light some incense and just chill out.
• The greatest hits album they released is incredible.
• Perfect for when you are in the "not really in the mood for anything" mood.
• The vocalist all the way to the instrumentals are perfect.

My favorite instrumental from Steely Dan:

Live version:

I looove Steely Dan. You mentioned their greatest hits, but I think you'd be making a mistake in not checking out their studio albums-- their discography is pretty dang flawless.

I've got close to every album on vinyl. Can't Buy A Thrill is one of my favorites.

All their studio albums were accomplished and polished, but their best three have to be Pretzel Logic, Katy Lied and Aja.

Pretzel Logic is my second favorite. Speaking in terms of vinyl, I love the first side a lot. Rikki Don't Lost That Number is a great way to kick off the album:

i have their entire discog bar the grammy-winning one

i have to say Can't Buy a Thrill is my fave, as well

I'm bumping this for later use. I'll get back to this list.

#87: Miss May I

• They released Monument in 2010, which quickly became one of my favorite albums of that year.
• Perfect workout / anger music.
• Miss May I give a new definition on the term "heavy", at least in my opinion.
• Great band to take a break from and come back to be impressed twice as much as you were the first time listening.
