Animal Collective is the greatest rock band of ALL TIME.

Cope. Best song of the 2020s so far:

Magicians from Baltimore is #2.

I stopped following after Centipede Hz. I had no idea they'd been so active in the last 12 years. Guess I have some catching up to do.

Start with Meeting of the Waters

Where’s Sinister Grift? Really liked that one

>>127293692
Released after the chart was made. They're STILL releasing great music after 25 years since their formation. I don't think any other rock and roll band has ever done that.

>>127293708
wow bro like totally radical. i sure do love rock and roll, and counting years

>>127293724
Me too! The history of Rock and Roll is amazing! Best music genre ever invented.

>>127293745
AnCo really is hardly rock it's more psych pop or psych electronic or straight psych

>>127293810
Psychedelia is a subgenre of rock music. They've been a guitar/drum/bass band since the beginning with STGSTV. They're 100% rock.

>>127293745
yes, sir. genres and history are so very tubular.
>>127293810
>hardly rock
sure is hard, boy how they do rock!

>>127293875
Rock at it's rockest:

Idk half the time the guitar is buried under synth or not there at all and they had a whole era just playing acoustics. Some of their songs at least are pretty far removed from rock and go into ambient and noise

>>127293914
Well yeah, musical technology has evolved since rock started in the 1940s-50s.
Still the same ethos.

Do they even use a distorted guitar?

>>127293914
>pretty far removed from rock
it’s rock and roll, pal. this is a rock and roll band. you have no respect for rock and roll. 25 years. history. inventions. important stuff. i know it’s rock and roll. you can hardly rock!

>>127293943
No, song related was made with solely one acoustic country-style guitar.

This

>>127293978
sounds like rock and roll to me! go back to your cat stevens, pretty boy

>>127294020
Or go back to your Charlie XCX or Black Country New Road.
Music in the 2020s is in an abysmal state.

I'm not getting the (possible) layers of irony in the posts of this thread.

>>127294043
Gen alpha (yes they're posting here) know nothing but irony.

>>127293429 (OP)
Beatles mog

>>127293469
First 4 words unnecessary

>>127294095
Gen Alpha has no concept of irony yet.

MPP was the only album worth listening to.

I predict they will have an enormous revival in 20 years with Gen A . Right now they lost all their air because of them being white, the press turned on them in favor of rap music. You millennials never realized just how niche the Animal Collective was. MPP and Strawberry Jam was as much about pitchfork as it was the music itself.

Not even rock.

i've been obsessed with Down There lately, it's so good

It's a big turnoff when the discographies are that big

>>127293429 (OP)
All of these are unlistenable garbage

>>127294981
Lol pleb

>>127297860
it’s a big pleb indicator that this scares you off

Just listen to Yellow Swans instead

There stuff all sounds the same after 2016, painting with is ironically really good, everything ever since is just murmering over drone textures
