Nah, 4'33" is only a single part of his work out of thousands. Do you really find this pretentious?



Looking at interviews, he comes across as the opposite of pretentious, but I think people confuse that term with open-mindedness.

One work of monumental pretentiousness can undo a lifetime of real work.

Yeah, I can't compare with most of this forum but I've heard and know a ****load of music compared to the average person and I can't name a single Janet Jackson song, but I definitely know Ice Ice Baby.

Since Vanilla Ice is white I anticipate Soulflower calling me racist now.

You don't know Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation? I thought everyone knew that. I thought it was iconic.

I'm sorry that you feel that way, you're missing out on a lot of beautiful music. Have you heard John Cale's early work? Does it undo his later work or vice versa?

I don't particularly care if an artist is pretentious, so long as they make good music. I'd rather listen to pretentious but entertaining, rather than grounded but boring.

I'm not knocking you for it. I just don't get it.
