Whats up Sol

Listening to music, you?

While I should be studying.

You?

I'm making some eggs.

You can study and argue at the same time!

Don't give a crap about how influential King Crimson are, I care about how good their music is. The Beatles are about ten times beter than the Rolling Stones. Might be more overrated, but they still make better music, imo. Even then, most bands who claim to be influenced by the Stones are shit guitar-rock bands like The Kooks.

By the way, just thought of Blonde On Blonde and Pet Sounds.

I once tried to eat a whole lemon like how you eat an orange

How 'good' their music is? Again, you keep thinking that because they play complex music, that makes them a better band factually. It doesn't. I don't really listen to Crimson because their music doesn't say shit to me, it's like other progressive/psychadelic bands music, except their lyrics are more pompous and pretentious than the others.

My opinion is that the Stones' music is better than the Beatles. More powerful, goes further, and to me, sounds better.

My opinion.

Blonde On Blonde, definitely. Pet Sounds is as much a cliche as Sgt. Peppers.

But Pet Sounds IS amazing mmm

Alright, scratch Let It Bleed, that can be second. VU & Nico is definitely top for me.

I wish my downloads would download faster 🙁

Where's Brad, I haven't talked to him in forever mmm

I still find Sgt. Peppers better, for me. But it was the single album that introduced me to music, so that'd probably be why.

You stupid ****. I swear to God I'm not going to go over this with you again, but I will say this: I never said anything about them being good factually. That's just an excuse you like to use so you can go on a rant. I never said anything about their complexity, you seem to think I only like 'complex' music because I often comment about disliking Green Day because they're one dimensional, but I don't.

What you seem to forget is that King Crimson, with Zappa, were the first to make 'progressive/psychedelic music' the way they did. You can't blame them for being like all the other ''pretentious progressive'' bands, because ITCOTCK was used as a blue-print by many of the prog-rock bands from the 70's.

I swear to God I even used ''In my opinion'' in my initial comment.

Yeah okay I'm stupid because the way you talk is condescending and arrogant. awehawe Sure. Let's go with that.

HOW IS SOLDRUMMER

I think Zappa/The Mothers are better than Crimson, anyway. I find Freak Out! and We're Only In It For The Money better albums due to their quirkiness and humour, plus the social commentary.

The way I talk is condescending and arrogant? It's condescending and arrogant to say a band is good these days? Perhaps you should be a bit less of a self-righteous prick?

Also way to nitpick your way through my arguments to make it seem like my post had no substance at all. Very mature.
