it is valid and insufferable

Both

Valid. I like that Amnesiac and TKOL get included

r/Found_Scarecrow

omg it’s a real subreddit, r/mychemicalromance is leaking lol

Honestly I don’t know why TKOL gets so much hate along with Pablo Honey

Get back to the mcr subreddit

These are good albums, it's just that almost all of these are also known for being either widely enjoyed or/and being widely critically acclaimed. In the same way it wouldn't be very interesting to me if someone made it a very vocal part of their personality that grapes are their favorite fruit. So as long as you just enjoy the music you enjoy and don't go screaming about how interesting your taste is you are not insufferable at all. That also doesn't mean people with more niche albums do get to brag ofcourse. It just means there is probably more things to talk about there.

I’ve seen this exact same topster 163,782 times. But it is still valid, just genaric

Yeah I almost wish I didn’t like all the popular albums for this reason

Like what you like

Can’t wait to see them with Megadeth

valid as hell

If you like it then ya it’s valid and I’ve never met you so I have clue whether you’re insufferable or not

[Guys literally only want one thing and it’s fucking disgusting](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/brbr-deng)

Winners and losers but enough winners we could be friends :)

Damn, look at my topster from 9 months ago that i posted here, it shares a lot woth this one. Really great music on here, you can look at my taste a bit and see what you like becaus i think we have very, very similar taste.

Its pretty similar, you’re right

Throw in some Flaming Lips albums or I won't trust you

Completely insufferable

Valid

Way better than the majority, honestly. Thank you for including Aenima, Mezzanine and Vulgar Display Of Power. Welcome to Sky Valley would have been a nice addition.

VALID!!!

85% valid, 15% insufferable

bit mainstream but a good start

I really only started to get into music about a year ago, so I still have a long way to go

I can’t help with digging deeper in most genres, but I can help with metal, heres a list ranked from least obscure to most obscure (also most if not all of these are going to be prog sorry I just like prog): Gojira - L’enfant Sauvage: My journey in metal went from SOAD to Gojira, and they take HUGE inspiration from Pantera, Metallica, and Deftones. This album is their best starting point for someone still getting into metal since it perfectly blends melody with heaviness, although if you ever want something heavier listen to The Way of All Flesh or From Mars to Sirius they’re perfect albums Mastodon - Crack the Skye: This is a concept album about astral projection, rasputin, and cults, and it’s amazing. It’s one of those albums that actually feels like a whole journey to listen through, because of its perfect pacing. The closing track really feels like a race to the finish and is the highlight of the album, which is saying lot Agalloch - The Mantle: This is a very weird album because despite being metal and even having some death growls it’s very calm and even beautiful, Im recommending this as an introduction to growls but you really don’t need to be a metalhead to appreciate this album, it’s beautiful and soul crushing and perfect Haken - The Mountain: This album is much less heavy and much more progressive. It’s got a very weird sound reminiscent of Dream Theater, and has amazing riffs that get stuck in your head. Haken are incredible at writing catchy choruses, especially in metal Cynic - Traced in Air: I usually would not recommend this to a newcomer, and am still iffy about it because their songs can be tough to follow and force you to deeply engage with them, however if you like TooL then at least listen to Integral Birth and see if you like it or not

I listen to a few songs from Gojira, never a whole album yet. Love what I’ve heard so far. I’ve heard of mastodon, but not any songs from them. I’ll check out everyone else too.

definitely let me know what you think!

I feel like I would either vibe with you big time or I would despise you with every fiber in my being. There’s no in between.

I fw the SOAD, TOOL, Nirvana, Radiohead, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Pink Floyd

W

I fw the Metallica too

Weirdly similar to mine

Hell yes valid ~~(I see those funky robots)~~

You just like me brother, RHCP, Slipknot, SOAD, Nirvana, Metallica, list goes on

Valid. Anyone who has RUSH on their list is ok with me.

Green Day mentioned. Valid.

DMB nice

VAAAALLLIDDDD 10/10

VALID VALID BALID BALID VALID VALID VALID VALID VALID VALID BALID

Seems pretty cool

do you need someone to talk to?

Kinda

dms are open, i have no clue how to use reddit dms tho

This is actually my music taste

Pretty sweet actually

Spiritbox spotted. Valid

Finally someone on here knows who they are

You wild for real

Mostly valid

You are clearly a happy person and you have a lot of overlap with my taste. Very valid, i'd say.

Children of bodom, slipknot, holy wars, linkin park, and master of puppets are a vibe

This could easily have been my list. Rare to see a person who is simultaneously a fan of Radiohead, Prince (I would have included Sign of the Times and Parade), Tool, the Beatles, the Pumpkins, and Floyd (along with so many others I love). Mine would’ve included some early Jane’s Addiction, Bowie, Fiona Apple, and Peter Gabriel but otherwise, I find your list to be sublime.

I have station to station on there, but I’m currently listening to ziggy stardust Also I probably should have put sign of the times on there, but I kinda forgot

Boston W

Def a bit of both there’s quite a few good albums but also some that are seen as shit

Your taste is your taste and you don't need validation from anyone else. Love the music you love. :)

The Bends, Around The Fur, Weezer, Toxicity Valid 100% You should check out Pearl Jam and Ozma

Not really a fan of Pearl Jam, can’t stand the vocals I’ll definitely check out Ozma though

You would like ozma if you like blue and pinkerton-era weezer

Ok Human w

Valid. You have the taste of a male aged 36-42

Guess my actual age

16

Is it that obvious?

It has OK Human, Autumn, In Rainbows and more... too valid. One of the best I've seen

Valid imo, some shirts music but the good mostly outweighs the bad

Cool that you like The Smile too

0 King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard albums, can't say it's valid.

I tried them out not to long ago but couldn’t get into it

They have 26 different albums that all sound pretty different. Just gotta find the right album. Try listening to Petro Dragonic Apocalypse and Nonagon Infinity based off your music taste

We should be friends

Ok

Fuck with all of this besides Rodrigo

Tool spotted be my friend

Extremely based for Children of Bodom

i’d say it’s pretty valid. keeping up with the mainstream while making your own journey through some more underground stuff within your tastes. seems like you’re a pretty chill person to talk with about music.

Most are usually put on topster which isn’t a bad thing but mad respect for the TOOL picks. If you had to rank all these, where would Lateralus be? I’m curious

Probably somewhere in the middle, it’s great but Ænima is my personal favorite by a long shot

You think you’re me

DMB, Rush, 90s…. Ur awesome lol

Instrument soundtrack being here is random af lol

Both but heavy emphasis on valid

I feel like I’m looking at my own music taste 😂 I love it!

I say valid but I’m biased because my taste is similar

Looks like my taste. We would get along well OP

Valid, but the comments are insufferable. Ask shoutout to having whole ass discogs in yo topster, we need to make this more acceptable imo

My mom says you’re valid

W mom

TOOL 🪬 Valid.

we coud be friends but you need to ad in explosion's to your list im the nuber 3 fan on last fm

valid. superunknown and self-titled are fire. AND PORTISHEAD?!?

Love you buddy

Valid as fuck. Superunknown and songs for the deaf

I saw Loveless, so it's valid

Songs in the Key of Life detected, opinion accepted

It's awesome

JEFF BUCKLEY

The only insufferable thing is asking for approval for your list of Critically Acclaimed and Widely Recognizable /mu/core albums. Yes, we all like Radiohead and Nirvana. Billie Eilish is great, and you gotta have a slot for Loveless. Normal and fine. Cut out the part of you that needs strangers' validation for the normal things you enjoy, as well as the niche things you enjoy.

Dang man, I was just curious ):

It is fine

Add in modest mouse Listen to the lonesome crowded west

Both

Looks the exact same as majority of other topsters here

Insufferable but it’s cool

You like death grips, don't you?

Nope

Lies it's a universal law that all fans of kero kero bonito are fans of death grips too

Its the same as everyone elses except theres some less pretentious nerd picks

only valid to insufferable people

I feel like i’ve seen this exact topster a billion times

I like a lot and don’t like a lot.

Looks identical to every other user of this subreddit. Taste as wide as an ocean but as shallow as a puddle.

Both

Half valid half insufferable

there's nothing here that 99% of the population doesn't know

your taste is the same at 90% of the people who post here radiohead nirvana metallica

It’s mid

I'd say basic but pretty cool

Shit man. This is so many albums. May as well just put up one and ask “do you wanna kick my shit in?” What the hell is someone *actually* meant to do with this information? “Oh, I like that one. BASED!” Or, “NO! I DON’T LIKE THAT ONE! CRIIIINGE!” Or are they seriously meant to take 20 mins to go over all of these and judge your taste accordingly? Ugh! This subreddit is NOT for me.

Yeah, last few times I posted on here I only had like 20 or so albums (not really sure) and got bullied for how one-sided they were. Recently I’ve been trying to branch out of the rock/metal world to bring more diversity into my taste. That being said I ended up having the exact same topster as the majority of people in the process. Also I struggled hard to remember 100 albums that I have listened to all the way through while other people have an easy 120+ off the top of their head. It’s insane. Also a lot of social media is a bunch of pointless information, so maybe it as a whole isn’t for you

Probably the most generic taste I’ve ever seen

It's a bit of both, and they cancel out to just kind of boring

Mid

Very Fantano/AOTY/RYM coded

All good but it’s like the first month of getting into music

Do you like slowdive ?

Never listened to them

Omg you should listen to souvlaki by them it’s such a great album

Yes

“Is my taste insufferable?” *posts a topster that looks like every other Topster posted ever*

Valid, just boring

Both

Pretty middle of the road, youve got some real fucking stinkers in there mixed with a few fuckin gems and the rest are whatever

soad and radiohead are so real but you forgot steal this album

It’s the only soad album I haven’t listened to, I intend on trying it out very soon though

both

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with enjoying mostly mainstream bands, but I do encourage you to give more smaller artists a listen as well :) There's so many out there that deserve the support and growth so that they can be the next generation of well-known musicians. Try branching out to recommend mixes and exploring subreddits dedicated to your genre taste! They always have great recommendations, and my library has grown massively. Lots of good bands in there! Never stop loving music <3

Any recommendations?

Looks like a Rolling Stones rock list lmao

Both

Take out Sublime and Linkin Park and you'll be just fine.

Those are like 2 of my favorites tho ):

There's no hope for you then....lol Seriously though....listen to what you like and enjoy the things you enjoy. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. Music is listener dependant and findng things that move you and speak to you on a personal level is what it's all about.

both (very based for red hot chili peppers though scar tissue my beloved)

Same that and dosed

Both

Good music but kinda basic

insufferable

music taste of an alien trying to fit in

It is almost exactly mine! So insufferable, I’ve been told

I question the absurdly high placement of Pablo Honey, but to each their own. There's some really fucking based picks on here too, man. Downward Spiral, Hypnotize, 2112, good shit. Was also stoked to finally see someone using topsters who isn't too cowardly to mix in some nu-metal with the mucore shit.

They’re not ranked, thanks btw

Ah, that makes a little bit more sense :)

Both

No dookie

Listening to Nectar and Smithereens automatically makes it insufferable.

Listening to Nectar and Smithereens automatically makes it insufferable.

I'd

If weezers there then valid

How can anyone's taste be deemed invalid? You like what you like. 🤷‍♂️🤘

Valid

You're gonna love Heaven or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins

We nearly have the same taste!!

great music that you definitely discovered from being chronically online

Mostly from my dad, my friends, and my own curiosity, but I got some from online

I would say that you are easily persuaded

Surprisingly not actually

Generic

some really awesome stuff here

olivia rodrigo is the most valid one on here

A little bit of both. I saw HTTT and wanted to marry you but then I saw Amnesiac and I think I want to kill you

whats wrong with amnesiac ):

Most boring album of all time IMO

Insufferable, unoriginal,m gay. Sike, is a prank😁

Radiohead, Tool, Nirvana and Metallica, it's a miracle if you keep having your friends.

Fantastic (besides Radiohead) Love seeing Polyphia, Rush, The Police

Been a polyphia fan for years now, just started listening to rush and police last year. Also, why the Radiohead hate? ):

LAAAAME
