Achtung! Garbage is the best female fronted rock band ever.

Did you guys leave out Pat & Neil on purpose? Back in the day, she was pretty damned good.... even better today. And her hubby is no slouch when it comes to rocking the house. That she won four consecutive Grammy Awards for best female rock performance is like icing on the f'n cake.


Oh, and before I forget... They have some pretty talented people who idolize 'em..... This is nothing if not hero worship in the grand manner. Pat goes onstage and sings one of Martina's signature tunes.... and predictably blows her off the stage. Of course Martina is loving every second of this.

And if there is it's St Vincent. That's an empirical fact. Don't argue please.

Good gravy. She may have some musical talent, but everything I have heard has been the audio equivalent of hot garbage.

That's one artist whose acclaim is completely lost on me. I even disliked her short on XX.

Buy a turntable if you don't have one, some big ass speakers - maybe Klipsch, a vinyl copy of Actor (2009 St Vincent release), a bong, and some medical marijuana (obtain Dr's permission ahead of time if you're not in a recreational state - none of which have implemented the recreational procedures anyway). This assumes you have a nice integrated amplifier or receiver. None of that AV shit. Take Actor out of it's sleeve and place on turntable. Turn up volume. Light up already water filled and packed bong, suck it in. Oh, yeah you also need a recliner chair and a blacklight. Listen to album and quit posting crazy shit on internet. You're welcome.

Oh, it's one of those things...

I like my music to be able to stand up as it's own entity.

Your prep is much like last call at the bar. If I drink enough, she's ok to take home.

Usually ends up with me sober, and regretting my life choices.

I could delve into the always fun and exciting conversation about why Bob Dylan's entire career is a sham, and how aside from being quite possibly the worst singer, with the worst voice in the history of popular music... he wouldn't know an original thought if he actually were to suddenly have one, that his career has been propped up and propagated by a cultural movement and mob mentality of same along with some of his best works of plagiarism being covered in a much more flattering and sonically pleasing way than he could ever deliver them himself, by other A-List artists...

Context:

Always be sure of the context before passing judgement.

I didn't make the accusations, I referred to them as the always hot topic they are and how they are capable of producing brown squalls that NOAA lacks the instrumentation to measure.

My personal feelings about Bob Dylan are not reflected therein. In fact, it would take the Hubble Telescope to detect my personal feelings about the man outside of my unshakeable mental image of Golum passing a kidney stone while trying to sing... but that's irrelevant.

I don't know about that. People make a lot of money writing shit like that. It's called music criticism. People have made entire careers out of being wrong. I have examples if you are not convinced.

Good criticism has merit even when the final judgment is wrong.

I don't know what to say to you here other than to say that your opinion here is ill-informed and that, if you give a shit, you should read more.

well joking of course. But the serious part is listening to challenging or complex music, which I believe St Vincent is, on an actual hifi system and not computer speakers or earbuds with compressed files. I'm sure you already do that. People who don't can only really enjoy music with no dynamics and full compression that have been mastered with the levels all the way up.

Of course you can still end up not liking St Vincent. I just believe her music can't be sampled properly through smart phones or computers (which is the equivalent of taking the ugly girl home after too many drinks - modern over compressed music is an ugly girl through the lens of alcohol).

Agree...I read a magazine article about her. Praising her as the next big guitar thing.....
Then I heard her stuff.
Really?? I don't get what so good.

Well she's generally "indie rock" so if you're not into Of Montreal or Wilco or The New Pornographers or Spoon or The Flaming Lips, there's really no point in just starting with her music.
