I listen to a lot of different genre's of music. from deathcore to drum and bass, rap ,trap and hip hop. a good song is a good song.
I spent 40 mins defending Taylor swift because the song anti hero is a good song. I have spent a lot of time convincing people to listen to Lorna shore, because the pain remains is a good song. I have introduced so many people to chase and Status because Badadan (and backbone) is a good song.
Oasis does not have a good song. every single one of their songs is the same thing, but again I listen to a lot of Sabaton so that is not an issue. but defending Oasis is like defending Kurt Darren. 3 cords, D,A and G that is all that every song is made of. and that is true for both of them.
Dont just list a song, tell me why you think its good. a good argument for why Bjork is worth listening to had me suffer though an album of hers to try and find what that person expressed as good. I could understand their point, but I still wish I never listened to the album.
so point out what makes the song good musically and I will go and listen with an open mind.
I will give you an example.
in the Pain remains by Lorna shore, the way the song is arranged you can understand the pain the protagonist is experiencing in its raw form. the guitar work becomes a voice on its own expresses as much pain as the vocalist is singing about. there is a moment (4:19 or so) where that solo explains the pain of loosing someone better than words can ever express, and as soon as that solo is over the vocalist comes in and sums up that feeling and its like you are staring into the face of a broken man at a funeral who has not said a word but finally turned to you and in a few simple words left you feeling as deeply hurt as he did, but that was not his intention, he just wanted to share his thoughts with someone and you were closest. there is more context to the song, there is an entire album worth of story that leads to that moment, and that is only part 1 of the 3 songs that all come together to illustrate the different stages of grief though music in a way like nothing I have ever experienced, it takes the theoretical examples of the stages of grief and lays it bare in front of you theory becomes reality and you can truly feel it even though it is not your pain.
be warned Lorna shore is a deathcore band, the vocalist does things with his voice most people cant stand to listen to. its not for everyone, and in fact most people will not make it very far into the song before turning it off simply for how he sings. but when you understand that the vocals are a percussion instrument rather than a melodic element, and the guitars bring the melodic element that people expect from vocals, and you understand that the lyrical content require the aggressive vocals in order to get the message across there is a way to make it though and understand it.
now sell me an Oasis song.
