Umm, this is the Music Discussion thread. Take your politics elsewhere please, preferably to the Politics section.

Now that that the 2000's are over, it is difficult to see how either The Strokes or Arcade Fire were the messiahs they have been proclaimed as.

Looking back, Funeral is still one of the best albums recorded. Looking back I still find Is This It a horrendously overrated album that did nothing new and it still boggles my mind that people liked it as much as they did. I still can't see it as anything more than a few fun catchy singles, but nothing Earth-shattering like it was made out to be.

This is so true, on both counts. Remember that hilarious Pitchfork writeup of ITI where they started talking about how the root word of seminal is semen?

Room on Fire is the best Strokes album.

Diane, I made a response to your post but I'm posting it in the "Bang Bang" thread in the Politics section where it's relevant to the discussion, so read it there.

As if they are two completely separable entities.

But, as it happens, I said everything I needed to say.

"Passion" is an overrated fucking concept in music. I don't care how passionate you are, if you're just some emo cunt with an acoustic guitar you can fuck off forever. I want music, not an emotional circle jerk.

Of course passion has a place in music, I'm simply saying it's an overrated concept especially when people think it's the be-all end all of musical merit, when music's merit should really be judged by, you know, the actual musical aspects.

Definitely, that's why acts like the Velvet Underground suck and helped ruin music.

You're an idiot if you think that's the reason they're popular.

Well you're an idiot anyway, so whatever.

Too bad Fats Domino didn't drown in Katrina, that would have been hilarious.

Me too, it would have made him even more famous. It's not like his being alive serves any purpose at this point.
