Ranking the Internet's Favorite Albums

- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- 4chan and Anthony Fantano sometime seems to have shaped the internet's majority consensus in regards to music. Today I'm listening to and reviewing a bunch of albums deemed "essential listening".
Let me know what you think of each of these albums:)

Thanks for watching. Maybe this will be a multipart series one day. @KyleReidMu Teach me your secrets to music youtube content making.
Very cool to see you! A 2 hour Swans album? Whew. Might be tough going. And that Profeta album is WAY better than where you rated it. I always like seeing what you're into. It broadens my own listening, and I appreciate it so much. Mahalo nui loa!
About that Beefheart album, everyone hated it on first listen, the Magic comes from realizing that it’s not the least bit random or improvised in fact it’s extremely well rehearsed and written out. The Captain was completely batshit but the band of top players did whatever he said. The combination of a band of amazing creative musicians being commandeered by a lunatic is the vibe of it. How a band was able to do this and play this precisely and repeatably with the Captain at the helm boggles my mind. I still listen to the “Frownland” song at least once a year because it’s short but does the trick. This album could have only been made in the sixties and only on Zappas label. This album by any reasonable deduction should not even exist, which is another aspect of this album that I find appealing. Great video Daniel. Thanks
I love that description of the general sound, I might relisten with that concept recontextualizing my understanding of it
Thanks for watching man!:)
@@danielprofeta thank you. Maybe the trout mask thing has to do with human pattern recognition, first time listening there is no recognizable pattern but on subsequent listening, patterns emerge. It’s a kind of brain teaser/experiment
Personally i came in and expecting free jazz applied to blues rock and I got that, so I never really hated this album too much.
@@genericonion6255 I came to it expecting some freaked out Dada and I got that too. You know it’s meticulously structured and written out. It sounds like free jazz but it’s not. It’s Prog. There I said it.
Just reassuring to see things have seemingly normalized after a rocky few days (so it appears). And a tier list! The inside knowledge many of these obscure (to me) albums shows how much you have raced at breakneck speed past me in the total scope of music acumen in the past two years. And that's ok, I enjoy being the student :)
Hello Daniel! Good to see you! Well I really enjoyed your analysis of these albums. You make me want to journey into the unknown. I'm all for King Crimson. Lots of fun stuff for your senses. I like your honesty but you really got to give some slack to that Profeta album;)
I have this issue.
When I listen to an album, I mostly love it and return to it for months, and im so used to see it praised that when i see something negative about the album, im now inclined to never listen to it again for a long time. Not being able to accept other opinions is terrible for me
Paper Skies is a genre defining album, of a genre that is yet to be defined. It was a good list. Two late Nineties albums that deserve more love are “Soft Bulletin” by Flaming Lips and “Glee” by Bran Van 3000, the latter never gets talked about but everyone I played it for back then went and bought a copy. “Fear of Music” and “ More Songs…” are better than “Remain” except for that one song and so is “Speaking in Tongues” but I do love Eno “ Another Green World” gets the accolades but the next album “ Before and After Science” is a bit better. All of Enos seventies albums are great with some amazing tracks on the first two as well. I agree Neutral Milk is top level.
I don't entirely understand why Remain is considered by many publications to be TH best work, but it is still really good so I guess I can't complain haha
@@danielprofeta No Don't do that !!!!
@@danielprofeta I think Rock writers need something to write about and with this album there is alot to say about it, not just lyrics but the music could be written about because of personel and genre blending etc. plus they made an experimental album right at the time when everyone expected a more mainstream album full of radio hits. It did have one huge hit. If you listen to artists like Fela Kuti you can hear where they were going with this. It was one of those records you had to be really tuned into what was happening on the cutting edge of contemporary trends to appreciate. All that stuff makes for a good music article and it flatters the writer who appears very hip with all this low hanging fruit.
another great video man! I can't stop binging your videos, your music is really nice too!
i have hooked you if you're back commenting under these videos haha:) Thanks for watching my friend
Here is hoping you hit that 100 goal!
Maybe one day haha
Daniel, your records.paper sky'es should be in the number one not the Hell category (sorry if I spelled that wrong ) . Your s was the best. So don't put yourself down.
Your audio isn’t bad.
Kid A is allegedly the soundtrack to 911….from start to finish on that “fateful day.”
Second, your editing is improving.
Yay for improving editing.
Also jeez, I have never heard that about kid a before, but it almost fits. That's crazy.
haha that’s gotta be a newish internet rumor. I’ve been a radiohead fan since the 90’s, kid a was released before 9/11.
ALMOST 100 likes let’s go part 2! Plus ur channel probably has a lot more reach as of lately with your “don’t hug me” and southpark videos!! Go for it king (idk ur pronouns)
I’m still surprised you didn’t enjoy Slint more considering how much they set the path for a lot of bands you seem to enjoy (almost anyone related to American Football)
yeah man Kyle reids great
Here is a two part video about the music business, ignore the title. He gets into it in the second half and talks about the history of the business and current realities like band amp and Spotify etc. think you’ll like it. You know more about this than I do and I hope you find it to be supportive info and not discouraging. ruclips.net/video/vAmJvPVX6-0/видео.html
So glad you included Swans. However, I think Seer is the best and would give it an A.
A lot of music to catch up on!
As soon as you said you loved kyle reid i subscribed
welcome to the channel:)
Even though I love Slint, I can see why you rated it low. Nice to see Animal Collective in the mix. They are amazing LIVE. Hope you continue to rate more influential albums.
Thanks for watching:)
The Slint being low was intended to be a joke, I love that album (and their untitled EP. Tweez is hit or miss imo)
@@danielprofeta Oh OK Cool. I love it too. You are doing a great job with your music, videos and reaction videos. So funny how YES brought me to your channel. YES are one of my favorite bands, btw.
I HAVE THAT SAME T SHURT
@KyleReidMu 0:30 u should colab with this guy
I've actually listened to very few of these, might have to change that!
They are all generally worth anybody's time. Some really cool stuff
came for the dhmis, stayed for the /mu/core. i go back and forth on fear of music and remain in light, the latter is certainly more accessible and i think it has some of their most thoughtful lyrics and the fully developed afrobeat influence gives it a strong edge. fear of music is a work of art - i kind of think it's better on average but remain in light has some really knockout individual songs. also animals makes me irrationally angry. also i have never finished trout mask replica but it made me laugh so it's gotta be doing something right. never heard of paper skies either, will check it out - thanks!
Thanks for watching:)
Paper Skies was a bit of a joke, that's my album. I'd love it if you checked it out, but yeah that's never actually been referenced on MU before.
i love how he wore the nirvana shirt ranking 4chan pretentious shit (not saying they're bad albums, i love most of these albums)
This guy in a Nirvana shirt just put MBDTF over The Money Store
Kid A is my favorite album and the bends is the second to worst radiohead album in my opinion, the bends is really good to tho.
The Poe jokes made me think that you to have found "Poe: More Tales of Mystery and Imagination" from Eric Woolfson. (Eric is half of the Alan Parsons Project.):

Still wanting the Edgar Allan Poe joke.Don’t leave me hanging-lol!
Lord help my poor soul.
why you did slint like that😭😭😭😭
I'm just kidding, I really do love that album.
Don stepped outside.
@@danielprofeta It felt good to be alone.
I have to agree with the Velvet Underground album, which makes me doubt myself as I'm agreeing with something from 4chan. Some of the other albums were good, a couple were new to me, An interesting list.
The internet always has the most pretentious picks
