bss is the worst shit ever. its like every hipster in canada got together to make the most boring, indulgent indie rock ever put to man, knowing it would grant them at least an 8.5 in pitchfork.

It will still probably be listened to by many years from now. I mean I don't like the White Stripes but I still have to admit they have put out what will probably become classic albums too.

Well, Bloweyelashwish wasn't made in the 00s.

no, but glissencule was.

also yeah, I hate broken social scene.

So was Chorus, but I didn't like it as much.

It's probably their most accessible album and for that reason most likely to become a future classic.

i think amplifier worship and absolutego will be remembered more as a classic, if they aren't already considered that. Being liked by many people (like Pink) is different than being worshipped by a few people.

I see what you're saying but I think the definition of a classic must include some degree of popularity. That's the difference between being a classic and having a cult following.

Hmmm.

To illustrate my point I'd like to assert that the Black album by Metallica is far from their best or most consistent but closest to bing a 'classic album' as it more or less went on to define the heavy metal of the day.

Yeah but their first 5 albums are all considered classic albums.

that is BS, man. that is their populist sell out album and wil forever remain so, except in the eyes of non-metal head idiots who glommed on to metallica once it was safe for their pussy soft ears.

master of puppets and Justice For All will stand as the two that fucking KILL, forever.

"frayed ends of sanity" is my favorite metallica song by far.

that part that's all power chords 0-3-5-0-3-5-0-3-0-3-0-3-5-2-2-2-2-2-2-3-4-5-6? FUCK!

I don't like any of their crap, but that's not the point. Everyone and their mother knows the Black album.

FYP

and i thought critics and magazines were getting obsolete.

good to know that there's still people who spew back whatever they publish as prophecy and dogma.

five year plan rules!

Something tells me that Pink will gain Houdini status in the next twenty years, being that it's an accessible and good starting point for the band, but nowhere near what they're capable of, and while certainly a popular and notable effort, will not be a classic over albums like Flood or Feedbacker (or most of their other albums.)

this is like a shitty tugowar.

Frances the Mute

*tug* :)

You should have said Amputechture

The Volta haters won't know the difference, and V'ia V'iaquez is timeless.

Yes. Frances is MUCH better than Amputechture. I have no idea what I was trying to say with my previous post.

The Glow Pt. 2 by the Microphones
MACHINA & MACHINA II by the Smashing Pumpkins

for me

Definitely agree on this one, as well as the Mount Eerie album.

I don't have much music from the 00's. The ones I would consider "classics" are:
The Strokes - Is This It
Sonic Youth - Sonic Nurse
The Verlaines - Pot Boiler
Ed Kuepper - Jean Lee & the Yellow Dog

KUDOS on the microphones.

'classic album' is such a relative thing, one persons classic can be anothers garbage. like above people are talkin about the greatness of 'frances the mute', id rather shit my pants on a blind date than listen to that record again.

ditto the microphones

I think that Kayo Dot in time will have the same effect as The Velvet Underground did in the 60s. There are already bands spawning up that are strongly influenced by them.

But ehhh I'm probably wrong hahaha.

Kayo Dot is fucking boring.

You're boring.

Oooh good one.

Yeah hahaha.

So, in what way are they boring, is it that they have a lot of random noodling in their songs or what?

I think a better question is how are they exciting? But really it doesn't matter. For any 'classic' album that someone puts out there there's someone there to tear it down.

Well they are exciting for me cause I find them compositionally interesting and highly emotive.

But yeah, second part of that post is right. I mean, I fucking hate Doolittle but millions upon millions of people would disagree with me.

kayo dot is amazing, but the velvet underground? are you fucking kidding me? they are arguably the most important band of all time. no band could have the effect that they had.

no such thing
