Guys guys! I just found out something!
Bias will never allow us to convince him differently, or vice versa! This thread is like talking to a wall!
Just in case you didn't know, I mean it's news to me.

No, of course you're not going to convince me otherwise--these albums have stirred me like no other.
Give me your own choices for the most profound album(s) you've heard. I'm not going to accept Black Dice or Fugazi--Those albums are full of emotions, but trivial ones. Emotions that appeal to our reptilian brain stems.
I'll accept Smile, although I've never cared for it.
And if you're one of those people who are into those "darker" emotions, one release this year genuinely captures real darkness--not fake, NIN-Spawn-comic darkness. I'll let you guys figure out wich one it is, since your're all hip to music and stuff.

Are you dismissing every emotion that you don't feel when lstening to your Talk Talk as fake?
Heh, lemme guess, you believe the two deepest emotions are "Love" and "Fear." Get over yourself. Each emotion is real, every feeling, every thought. Just because you're so high up on your pedistal you're getting light headed from the lack of oxygen doesn't mean you get to decide whether or not what we feel is real.
By the way, as far as influencing emotion, I'll stick to my Iron and Wine. Sam's voice is alot easier to listen to anywase.

the best way to avoid these 'crazy' joke accounts is not to argue with them.

The avatar is the cover of Horsedrawn Wishes by Rollerskate Skinny, one of the lost, great shoegaze/noise pop albums of the 90s. How does that signify me being a joke account?

Love and Hate. They're more states of being, however. Maybe species of relationship. It's not so much that all emotions aren't real, but more that all emotions are shades or refractions of these two or their effect.
I dunno about that dark album. I hear plenty that encapsulates what good old Kurtz called 'The Horror'.

Fear is a pretty shallow emotion. Love can be the deepest of all emotions, but it's been co-opted and packaged by bad pop music and hollywood movies so oftenthat we are unable to identify the real thing when it shows up. The emotions found in the music of Jessia Simpson or the movies of Michael Bay aren't real. I'm sure you know this. They're meant to appeal to the shallowest parts of us, and when something comes along that is genuine and deep, we have trouble registering it.

Tommy's actually wrong guys. This isn't his opinion. It's stone cold FACT.
EDIT: This is partially so Tommy doesn't think I'm making fun of him. I made that statement with total seriousness. There's no irony in it at all. The guy's voice is fruitier than the ladies' night drink special at a Carribean bar called "The Ripe Mango Bar & Grill." Thread should have been closed after that statement was made.
