I don’t think hedonism is good, but they had sex with more girls and women than you will ever have. They were pure sexuality. Women love the conjunction of masculine/feminine which Robert did, which rock did. You can seethe and say how they were gay, but they were the most alpha of the alpha, selling out giant stadiums and having their pick of women while playing some of the greatest music of all time. Cope all you want, you couldn’t boldly display your sexuality like them or make such music.
You can't compare them. Joey has a legendary discog while Washing Blumpkins made what? A bunch of proto buttrock riffs with the worst singing you've ever heard.
I wouldn’t call most of his music “rock”. Eternal life is like one of the most rock songs he has, and as a rock song it’s kinda cringe. Demon John is more rock, a cool song. His voice shines better on songs like dream brother, new years prayer, Corpus Christi carol, calling you, everybody here wants you, hallelujah, lover you should’ve come over, etc. I wouldn’t consider him anything like a rockstar. I don’t think he did either, he had another aesthetic in mind, not aping rockstars, even if Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were huge inspirations and influences, so were Judy Garland and Nina Simone.
Well we’re talking about music on a music board, and rock is a genre. He also isn’t the perfect rock musician in the way you’re using the term, as another anon said, he doesn’t have long hair. Plus he was pretty sissy and cringe when he opened his mouth to talk, not rock.
I think he’s an ascended master retired on a mountain in Tibet who occasionally astrally projects to middle America to comfort those in need, but I didn’t want to out myself as enlightened on LULZ
Jeff Buckley is generally a unique case of genius and skill, this guy was literally born for music, he has the most beautiful male voice I have ever heard, and at the same time he played the guitar perfectly. it's a pity that because of nirvana he was in the shadows. His only album, Grace, has a level of technicality that rivals all Nirvana songs combined.
yeah i agree, he's kind of like the randy orton of alt singer-songwriters -- perfect on pretty much every level, great voice, great look, FANTASTICALLY refreshing outlook in his lyrics in comparison to dirge-y grunge
kinda like bjork though, he was perhaps too obsessed with his own potential, and took too long to focus on one thing or another -- with songs like yard of blonde girls, he lacks the lackadaisical delivery of a true baritone, so he could never have the alt cred of a pavement or a modest mouse or a beck
his wheelhouse was the soft zeppelin-influenced proto-radiohead sounding stuff, but those bases were thoroughly covered by radiohead, elliott smith, bjork, soundgarden, jimmy gnecco, muse, coldplay etc into the late 90s. his softer stuff was supplanted by john mayer, norah jones, and the adult contemporary coffee house folk scene. his heavier stuff was tame in comparison to at the drive in and creed. his "life is beautiful" outlook would be overtaken by the radio success of the new radicals, semisonic, no doubt, etc. eventually his sound would reach peak flanderisation with groups like alter bridge in 04...
it's actually really hard to guess what his career would've looked like had he lived, when "his sound" became incredibly popular, and then reached a point that he wouldn't have been able to keep up with by the mid 2000s. would he maintain reverent cult+critical status like radiohead? or would he be viewed more as a historic act like 2000s sonic youth and dino jr? really hard to say. i'm glad we got the album that we got.
>he was perhaps too obsessed with his own potential, and took too long to focus on one thing or another
he fuckinng died lol, you can't blame him that much.
Ok but he looks a bit gay, no?
most rock has huge gay vibes
just look at led zeppelin
>huge gay vibes
That's just (You).
so you dont think this is gay
Not the anon but if Zep is gay, then I'm gay. Anyone up to suck my fat cock?
That depends, can we listen to zep

Tim Buckley is superior. Lorca and happy sad are unparalleled
OP here, sorry I mean to post this instead
no one likes you billy.
Ugliest rockstar ever
If OP means lookswise, then absolutely not but if he means in talent. Maybe
6'2" of pure testosterone and riffs. He can't lose.
yes, look at that hypermasculine face. and who could forget the pure manly energy of songs like disarm.
Doesn't matter when you're 6'2" breh. Jeff is mogged, he could only "dream brother" so to speak of gaining an inch or 5 LOL.
So why isn't Joey Ramone your favorite musician?
Got his ass
You can't compare them. Joey has a legendary discog while Washing Blumpkins made what? A bunch of proto buttrock riffs with the worst singing you've ever heard.
?
Rock stars have long hair
Oops, sorry, wrong picture - here's the right one.
>5′ 7″
most rockstars are manlets
>in a lab.
Weird way to shout out Tim Buckley's nutsack but okay...

rock is an idiom, stop being autistic.

>Plus he was pretty sissy and cringe when he opened his mouth to talk,
just like every musician then lol
Say that to Elvis’ ghost
>he thinks Elvis is dead
I think he’s an ascended master retired on a mountain in Tibet who occasionally astrally projects to middle America to comfort those in need, but I didn’t want to out myself as enlightened on LULZ
Seems kinda like a dweeb though?

They forgot to add the popular part if so

Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk is an incredibly underrated album.
