>Marquee Moon is the best album of all time
What kind of person do you imagine?

>>127467288 (OP)
an unc

chubby pasty sweaty retired hipster (he's 39)

I knew this fat girl who was the least funny comedian I had ever seen and this was her favorite album.

>>127467344
I'm not chubby.

>>127467288 (OP)
It's pretty mid tbqh. Just sounds like any other 70s rock album.

>>127470517
i would love to hear the other 70s rock albums, can you recommend me some?

>>127470517
Childhood is listening to Television and not thinking it sounds different from other 70s rock. Maturity is realising you can't find any other 70s rock that sounds like Television.

>>127472581
He's just trolling. Marquee Moon is probably his favorite album ever.

Poser pleb

The retarded hipster isn't wrong. Like I have my preferences genre-wise, and so on. But you can't refute really. I could refute other claims at the drop of a hat. I might say to that retarded hipster faggot,--'how about Jeff Buckley "Grace" perhaps?'
--I'd sooner posit that.

Every time I listen to an album someone makes a thread about it. Just listened to and enjoyed Marquee Moon today for the first time in 3 or 4 years. I miss when this album was a step below /mu/core.

Blank Generation mogs the fuck out of Marquee Moon, better songs, better guitar solos, better lyrics, better looking frontman, verlainecells could never

can name at least 5 albums better than marquee moon in the past 40 years, let alone 50

>>127472784
Blank Generation is good but it ain't no Marquee Moon. Richard Hell's best songs aren't even on Blank Generation.

>>127472808
Do it.

A person suffering Velvet Underground syndrome. Never heard your shitty band on the radio no matter how great their seven fans say they are. Fucking Foreigner gets more airplay than all these poseurs combined

>>127467288 (OP)
I know why people complain about Tom Verlaine's angst-ridden voice, but fuck that, I haven't had such intense pleasure from a new release since I got into Layla three months after it came out, and this took about fifteen seconds. The lyrics, which are in a demotic-philosophical mode ("I was listening/listening to the rain/I was hearing/hearing something else"), would carry this record alone; so would the guitar playing, as lyrical and piercing as Clapton or Garcia but totally unlike either. Yes, you bet it rocks. And no, I didn't believe they'd be able to do it on record because I thought this band's excitement was all in the live raveups. Turns out that's about a third of it. A+

>>127467288 (OP)
Kevin Spacey

>>127473372
Verlaine's vocals are pretty bad. I put this record on at work thinking it was a pretty straightforward normie friendly album but people couldn't appreciate the guitar interplay and greatest rhythm section of all time over Verlaine's whining.

>>127473538
normies get filtered by vocals extremely easily because vocals are 90% of music to them

>>127473372
If this guy loves it, you know it's got a be good

>>127473182
you can name any of the smiths albums, any of radiohead's output in the 90s/2000s, a handful of smashing pumpkins albums, talking heads, even white stripes as a great rock albums. a lot of guitar focused albums to follow were considered "greater"

what makes an album great? i think the biggest credit television has is laying a blueprint for what was to come, which they deserve praise for, but what came after was much more listenable and creative

>>127473934
I agree that there are better albums than Marquee Moon but I viscerally hate every artist that you think is better. The Smiths are the least bad. Radiohead is the Christoper Nolan of music.

>>127473189
no way im hearing this poptimist stan twitter tiktok shit on here. zoomers must be dealt with

what happened to this board, now we’re unironically shilling fucking white stripes arena rock

They're not good. Get some taste.

>>127474712
See
>>127474710
And take your own advice.

>>127474666
not what i regularly listen to, but easily better albums than marquee moon. depends who you ask: someone considering what is seen as the greatest by majority, or an unhappy elitist here

>>127474757
>depends who you ask: someone considering what is seen as the greatest by majority, or an unhappy elitist here
Yes. Someone who has developed taste and someone (You) who lacks it.

best answer for OP question
>insufferable guys

>>127474895
>insufferable
That best describes the likes of Billy Corgan, David Byrne and Morrissey oh and you and your awful taste of course.

it's better than what you listen to

>>127474925
>That best describes the likes of Billy Corgan, David Byrne and Morrissey oh and you and your awful taste of course.

Not music

and they still BTFO of marquee moon. btw if u had half a dick like you think you do, you'd realize a majority of the smiths success is by johnny marr's guitar style and songwriting, and that's very relevant to marquee moon

>>127474993
>you'd realize a majority of the smiths success is by johnny marr's guitar style and songwriting, and that's very relevant to marquee moon
Is your argument supposed to be that his playing style was in part inspired by the likes of Television? Okay. So is fucking U2. Guess what? They still suck. Plenty good bands/artists have influenced lesser shittier bands/musicians. Lol.

A bit stuck up and annoying but with good taste. Would probably get mad if you had a rec for them that blew their mind but they had never heard of previously.

>>127475024
dunno, catchy tight songwriting across multiple albums that people almost universally like without any media/label forcing it down our throats, vs one underground influential album, it's hard to call the latter "greatest"

>>127470517
Not a lot of post punk had such precision with their dual contrasting guitars

>>127473934
Smashing pumpkins is the only good name you mentioned and I even like radiohead OK computer but it's no marquee moon

>>127475116
>people almost universally like
You and other people with bad taste. Yes. I don't disagree.

>without any media/label forcing it down our throats
The Smiths aren't Taylor Swift I'll give you that but you're genuinely ignorant if you believe their shitty music hasn't been featured in media throughout the years. Are you serious?

>dunno
This has been the smartest thing you've said.

>>127475162
if a majority of people have bad taste and all like the same album, i guess that makes it the greatest then! see how retarded it is to defend your comfy album as the best thing ever?

>>127475182
>majority of people
You and other smiths fans love the hell out of them. As far as general rock listeners The Smiths aren't as "universally loved" as your dumbass believes.

>>127475162
i wouldn't say the smiths were shilled, they earned the spot over the years and became a pop culture thing, that's why you saw it "throughout the years"

and hey i'll even say marquee moon is pretty underrated, but definitely not the greatest album. mainly thinking of how innovative the guitarwork is without the whole package and songwriting. the vocals are kinda tiring and one-dimensional

>>127475228
>the vocals are kinda tiring and one-dimensional
This coming from a Morrissey fan. Lol

My uncle and I had to find a polite way to tell him I thought it was meh

>>127475252
nah, morrissey yelps a bit, spices things up

>>127473934
Really glad I pushed you to name stuff. Thanks for the laugh. Also, you write like you're kinda stupid. Not completely retarded, but like 90-100 IQ. No offense or anything.

>>127475342
I doubt you can comprehend an album's perception outside your sperg bubble. so i won't take offense to the IQ comment, really! honest suggestion, maybe you can say "I am retarded and think everyone else's taste is shit" instead of "marquee moon is the greatest", no offense

>>127472581
This song could have easily been on Marquee Moon

It's not a perfect fit, but I can see this. If you could combine Television and AC/DC, it'd be the apotheosis of rock.

>>127475535
Doesn't have the melody of any song on that album.

>>127467288 (OP)
new york hipster from the 80s (extinct nowadays)

>>127475620
what the fuck did he mean by this?
every song hopefully has different melodies

>>127475648
I mean it's more along the lines of standard blues inspired rock and couldn't have "easily been on Marquee Moon"? What don't you understand?

>>127473189
Is there some rule on this board? One that says "you can only post if you have the most idiotic opinions possible". Or that's what i would have asked, if this was my first time here

>>127475535
haha what? this song would stick out like a sore thumb in marquee moon
just because it's slightly jammy doesn't mean it fits

>>127475671
Little brother doesn't even know what melody means.

All I know is this is the band and singer that julian cacablansas ripped and made a much better album

>>127475747
>All I know
You know shit. If you actually knew what the hell you're talking about you would have brought up Quicksilver Messenger Service not fucking ACDC. You fucking tard.

>the strokes
Of course you're a fan. LOL
