Society & Culture Things in life you just don't understand - Part 5

[raskolnikov]

I gave my mate sh*t because Boy George was gay and he had a Culture Club poster on his wall while I had a Wham poster on mine.

Quite funny looking back on it.

Ironically I had Annie Lennox on mine.

Haha, Rask is an 80s lesbian.

Debating clearly subjective things as if they're objective is one of my favourite big footy things!

Can we do "successful comedians who aren't funny" next? We can even reference how stupid someone has to be to find someone funny / not funny!

Pretty please??

You get a like for the Holy Holy reference.

I think their last effort went too electronic for me. Discount Tame Impala, who I can't stand.

The Song of the Century Turns 20 | National Review

I actually don’t listen to a tonne of new music but Gang of Youths had some stuff that I think was better than Seven Nation Army.

Go with the flow by queens of the Stone Age.

That’s two and I’m just listing stuff off one of my workout playlists.

It came out in 03 seriously suggesting nothing better has come out in the ensuing 20 years is stupid.

That article that was linked in the post above yours stating that Seven Nation Army has a strong case to be considered as the best song of the century so far would suggest that my opinion isn't stupid or that I'm the only one to hold that opinion.

Opinions about music are subjective and can't be proven as fact but I don't see people writing any articles about any Gang of Youths songs in 20 years time suggesting that they are the best song of the century. You could argue that some of their songs are better but none are more memorable or iconic.

Name a better rock track since Seven Nation Army.

I and many others have done so but…

Now it’s caveated as “must have articles supporting your view” and “must be agreed to by me”.

So it’s gone from “list a better song” which is so wildly open you were only ever gonna get dunked on to “list a song I think is better”.

It remains a stupid take supported by one journo from a publication I’ve personally never heard of.

To be clear I doubt anyone (me included) thinks it’s bad, he’ll I think seven nation army is great but definitely the best song rock song since it’s release 20 years ago is some old man yelling at clouds s**t.

International publications not writing about a local Aussie band that hasn't yet commercially cracked the world? Well bugger me!

 

[edgie]

I know it's more punk than rock but I think we overlook just how strong an album American Idiot was. I would do a hot take and say it was the last smash hit electric guitar album up their with the classics of the 80s and 90s when it comes to its accessibility and spread at it's peak.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Music peaked in everyone teens and twenties, regardless of how old they are.

But the 1980s were particularly schite.

Why do people entertain Plugger?

Plugger has unique musical views that I would call 'alternative mainstream'. He doesn't post obvious top 40 stuff, but the stuff he does talk about is hardly unheard of. They largely well known and commercially successful artists.

Arctic Monkeys, they've got a few bangers that can rival Seven Nation Army as well.

True Fact: The Lack of Pirates Is Causing Global Warming

It's true. This extremely scientific graph proves it: Photo via http://bama.ua.edu/ You can see that as the number of pirates in the world has decreased over the past 130 years, global warming has gotten steadily worse. In fact, this makes it entirely clear that if you truly want to stop global...

I am not really a music guy, I've realised.
I listen to the same basic stuff I did when I was 18

 

[Richard Cranium]

Defining better in music is impossible, you're against using a popular contest as gauging whether something is "better" (which I agree with) but what's going to make another song "better" that Seven Nation Army in you mind?

Personally the two above I consider better rock songs.

Better rock songs since Seven Nation Army from the bands you don't like, briefly, to me of course

Nickelback
Burn it to the Ground

Foo Fighters
The Pretender
No Way Back

Wolfmother
Joker and the Thief
Minds Eye

To be brief.
