Why don’t zoomers love the band?

Zoomers love black cock and trannies. That’s it.

When I was in college, a ton of guys dressed like this. Zoomers haven't had that phase.

>Canadians who LARP as Dixie lost-causers

No thanks

>white men playing country rock
problematic

Let's face it, they make Workingman's Dead, and American Beauty sound like thrash metal, and this is coming from somebody who actually LIKES The Band, and was raised on Music From Big Pink, album pictured, and saw The Last Waltz more times than you've had hot meals.

Canadians are dishonest and unlikeable people devoid of any culture

Cause they're fuckin plebs.

I think it would be fair to say that The Band didn’t have mass appeal outside of their own generation. Which is a shame, I’d probably put them in the top 10, maybe even top 5, of that late 60s-early 70s era. They’re way better than Creedence, who also did the roots rock thing though obviously took a different approach.

>>127074821 (OP)
nobody did

>>127074836
many of them are almost 30, i don't think that phase is ever happening

i'm a zoomer and i love the band

it's the sound of it. it is dynamic music meant to be enjoyed in headphones for the most part.
everything a young kid listens to is brickwalled to shit in order to sound 'good' from a phone speaker competing with other modern noises like traffic barking pitbulls niggers shooting guns off and zonked zoometes puking up alcoholic ice teas.
maybe a loud brickwalled remaster or something or a sampled Robertson lick or a duet of some rapper (non music) and Garth Hudson....

I am a zoomer. I love this band.

>>127074821 (OP)
its like creedence with pretentions, they literally calling themselves the band, its unforgivable really

I adore this record

>>127077039
>its like creedence with pretentions
Are you fucking serious with that one anon? This is the most dishonest band to ever exist. A bunch of California city slicker fags larping like they're from the South.

>>127074821 (OP)
Zoomer who listened to Rock of Ages and The Basement Tapes whilst working today here. I love The Band so much. Who is your favourite member? Mine is either Garth or Rick.

>>127074821 (OP)
They only had a few really big hits, The Weight and Cripple Creek. Nobody (talking mainly Marvel movies and car commercials here) uses their songs anymore outside of those and, personally, I never have to hear The Weight again. It's as overplayed as Sweet Home Alabama or Fortunate Son.

They also rank fairly low on legacy lists of stuff like "50 Greatest Albums" or whatever. Even I never listen to much outside of their self titled and The Basement Tapes, and maybe a few choice performances from Last Waltz. None of the members are famous or infamous; there was never a real breakout star among them that became a household name, no Rod Stewart or Sam Cooke. Nobody really talks about The Band or any of its members anymore. Before Robbie died when was the last time Dylan had mentioned any of them in an interview? It'd probably been years.

Come on now

>>127077205

Wait for the Zs to toss their phones, shave their perms and buy a farm.

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

/mu/ doesn't even like The Band.

>>127074856
The point was to sound like Lee's army starving and on retreat from Petersburg, as opposed to the the one driving McClellan off the field a couple years earlier.

>>127077238
really insightful stuff

>>127077578
its fucking unforgivable

>>127077078
The Band was Canadian though

>>127077606
would you rather they were called The Crackers?

>>127074856
You're trying too hard.

>>127077238
There are infinitely worse band names out there, jackass.

>>127075368
me too

>>127074821 (OP)
pretty sure no generation likes the band

I am a zoomer and I listen to my The Band vinyls while I make tik toks skibidi ohio You wanna know how i got this drip? My father, was a sigma, from ohio. And one night, he goes off sussier than the imposter at 3 am. Mommy gets the baby gronk rizzing up livvy dunn to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the OG fortnite rizzler to ohio, laughing the ocky way while he does it. He turns to me and says, "What the dog doing?" He griddys at me with the goofy ahh kai cenat grimace gyatt level 3. "WHAT THE DOG DOING?" He sticks the ice spice squid game lightskin stare in my mouth and says..."Let's put a skibidi toilet on that cuh dey board."

For me it's Northern Lights/Southern Cross

Criminally underrated outside of Acadian Driftwood, Ophelia, & It Makes no Difference

And Tears of Rage is the best Bob Dylan cover of all time. Richard Manuel was enormously talented

I KNOW SHE'S A TRACKER

My favourite deep cuts from The Band:

>>127077700
they thought of calling themselves that if i remember correctly

>>127074821 (OP)
Because they think calling yourself "the band" is a very narcissistic move.

>>127082379
but they didn't choose it, they were called the band by all the people around them

For me it's Bessie Smith.

Difficult to search for.

>>127077078
Point to California on a map.

Zoomers don't like music, they only like quick rewards of dopamine which they get with 10 second videos in tiktok or fortnite.

>>127082379
So honesty is narcissism?

apart from woodstock, rock of ages and the last waltz, what are the other band concerts i should be listening to?

>>127082679
they did some good concerts in the 80's, after robbie had left. look on youtube

>>127082379
Dumb zoomers. It was an act of profound humility.
