I've listened to 700-800 albums every year for most of my life and have built up an exhaustive knowledge of music history and its breadth. There are very few people who know as much about music as I do, and I'm on a first-name basis with more than half of them.
Yea Forums, name me any song or album and I will try to list ten similar pieces of music that I sincerely believe tackled the same themes presented in said work in a better way
- Sonata No. 3, Op. 23 in F-Sharp Minor: I. Dramatico by Vladimir Horowitz - Inja O Anja by Hooshmand Aghili - Neredesin by Mazlumi - Mendelssohn : Symphony No.2 in B flat major Op.52, 'Hymn of Praise' : X "Ihr Völker, bringet her dem Herrn Ehre und Macht!" by Kurt Masur - the works of ferhat saglam - Der Mond ist aufgegangen by Kinderchor Flohhaufen
- the journey by the atkins family - Khushnaseebi Hai by Pankaj Udhas - Beni Bilene by Yasar Yasayan - Twisted Soul by The Humans - Jodi Jantem Aamar-Gayetri by Gayetri Chowdhury - The Boarder by Choi Yeong Il - Brontolone (from "Crescete E Moltiplicatevi") - (Versione IV) by Ennio Morricone
Also OP, how do you listen to music? Entire discographies chronologically, or just single albums in no particular order? If the former, how do you decide on if you want to give an artist a try and not give up if you don't like the first album

Dunno Da Funk by Sekond Skin Henze: "Solo chi ama conosce" - Andante ma non troppo - "Solo chi ama conosce" - Andante ma non troppo by Henze, Hans Werner Rossini: "Qui mia moglie ha da venire" - "Qui mia moglie ha da venire" by Rossini, Gioacchino Moon Tide by Cool Shooz
I've worked at a record store for five years, and I've easily listened to over 1000 albums, and this guy is 100% correct: Nobody needs that much knowledge. It's dangerous. It's ruined my life. I think everybody I meet is a pleb.

projection. not OP but the deeper into music I've gone, the more connected to the human spirit I've felt.
Brayden Johnson
- 2x2x2 - Parts 1&2 by Isifi Lokole - Liszt: Piano Concerto No.2 In A, S.125 - 5. Marziale un poco meno allegro by Liszt, Franz - Otello / Act 1: Capitano, v'attende la fazione ai baluardi by Giuseppe Verdi

So you should suppress your urge to get greater knowledge, because you won't fit in with society? You can have a great knowledge and still realize it's not what life's about, why blur the line?
Dominic Brown
give me sucky fucky smart man
David James
- Sto'pa kai sto pariggila by Mixalis Kalergis - In the Bleak Mid Winter by Steve Ragsdale - the entirety of twentymule’s magnus opus “ned tender”
OP you've listened to so much yet you haven't listened to anything at all. To achieve true musical supremacy is to master the art of making it yourself.
You're a plebeian.
Brody Martinez
I'm trying to change my viewpoints and look at it that way. I'm a very negative person by nature, and I've been trying to change. I've been trying to think of music in terms of "understanding what appeals to other people" instead of "my taste is correct and theirs is wrong" It's very hard. I was raided in a negative environment.
great choices, though they aren't better than Blonde On Blonde to me
Charles King
>i’m on a first-name basis with more than half of them
Oh wow your discord must be *so cool*
Caleb Butler
Speaking personally, I love listening to music that is normally outside my wheelhouse with the intent of figuring out all the aspects of it that appeal to people, and imagining the ideal person who would love that artist/song/album. It helps me be empathetic to people whose lives and artistic choices are so radically different from mine.
Wyatt Harris
Thats understandable brother. Your will sounds good though. Just keep meditating on it.
Colton Perry

William Hughes

Christian Ortiz
I’m still here, you all just have astoundingly shitty taste in music. I would rather not waste my time on plebeians
Sebastian Adams
Henning Christiansen - Abschiedssymphonie
Jonathan Jackson
Nice excuse, fagtard. Why did you even make this thread?
Where is your confusion coming from? OP is claiming to be a musical expert, okay? OP is claiming that there are very few people who know as much about music as he has. OP is claiming to know, on a personal level, about half of all the people who know as much about music (I.e. half of the other musical experts in the world).
