Fun Stuff > BAND
Anyone here dislike Sufjan Stevens?
Johnny C:
I don't understand. A bunch of people keep saying, "He's a good artist." What do we have to do?
He writes good music!
He writes good music!
Is it working yet?
KharBevNor:
His music's nothing spectacular. Pretty much everything I've heard of his has been pretty unimaginative acoustic guitar/banjo stuff. Not that I don't like stuff like that, but his voice is really weak and powerless, it just doesn't come off. He ends up sounding like a mouse covering Simon and Garfunkel. I wouldn't say that his music is unlistenable, but it is undistinguished and unoriginal. Occasionally there's a nice progression or a pretty harmony, but there's a hell of a lot better stuff to listen to, folk-wise. Not that I would personally call Sufjan Stevens folk music, but hey.
schimmy:
You don't like his voice? That's pretty interesting. I find that his voice is exactly how it should be. He manages to convey how sad he feels in his voice alone, and the lyrics are often irrelevant, you can tell exactly how he feels from just listening to his voice like you would a well-played guitar. I do have to admit, though, that without his voice, many of his songs would lose their power, and he would be just another singer-songwriter. But, in my mind, he has the right voice, so I'm happy.
ScrambledGregs:
Take one look at the sort of bands Khar posts for people to listen to and, like me, you'll realize his opinion suddenly seems irrelevant.
schimmy:
Why? Is the music he listens to somehow inferior to the music you listen to? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and mine is that if you listen to one genre only, excluding all others then you are missing out on a lot of good music.
