NWA - it's aged much better, albeit Chuck D as a person > anyone from NWA
PIL x1000000 - this one shouldn't be a question
Wiley - never had a definitive statement like BITC, but was great for vastly longer; also he invented Dizzee before Dizzee, so
Funkadelic - u know I'm about that psychedelic life
Beefheart - skronk avant jazzish weirdness >> prog
Beach Boys - but Stones (or The Who) over either
Neil Young by a wide margin - the only good boomer icon, and also f Dylan he's unbearable

I stick by what I said
you're fully entitled to your opinion (and luke is right, arguing our crazy passions is a large of part of why this place lives in)
and I'm equally entitled to think it is a completely batshit crazy opinion to hold
an opinion that, again, I can only imagine a European holding
but if that's what you think, more power to you

I'd be pretty surprised if Dissensus didn't go heavily for RZA
the other possibly closer - I'm 100% Kate Bush, obviously - but I don't think place is near as poptimist as it was in the original heyday

as I said, it's a decision everyone has to make for themselves, in relation to any artist
tho I wouldn't even call it a decision. I just at some point realized I no longer wanted to listen to his music, ever. I just think of the children he damaged.
I do think it's something that's become more important - not just MJ, but with art in general - to me in the last couple years
idk, it's just how I feel. other people should do what they feel.

Do you have the same policy for every musician who has a bad rep? Like James Brown?
padraig (u.s.)

no. I don't have any "policy". it's case by case.
it's again, a decision everyone has to make for themself with any artist
it also has nothing to do with the quality of the art, or lack thereof
padraig (u.s.)

and again it's not even a conscious decision, really. it's not something I agonize over.
one day, I was like "I don't want to listen to this fucking guy ever again". that was that.

I get it, was a neutral question. No subtext.
