re: LCD Soundsystem is the best band of the 21st century

And second I didn’t hear any instruments only electronic shite so no they aren’t a band.

Just for fun, and cause it's my day off and I'm bored, let's go ahead and dive into the reasons this statement is factually incorrect and dumb as frick

1. They are like a 8 person band. A bassist, 2 guitarists, several percussionists, and at least 2 synthesizer players.

2. You are aware that if a song has electronic elements to it, that said electronic sounds can be produced by instruments, yes? Just because you hear an electronic sound in a song, it doesn't mean the whole song was made on a laptop. There are things called synthesizers that make these noises. And yes, people play that instrument, on stage.

3. "And second I didn’t hear any instruments" Are you deaf or stupid? I could link....well virtually any song ever made by LCD Soundsystem and point out an instrument being played. Yikes.

4. Explain to me exactly how if a band has electronic elements to it, it is not a "band". You know the Beatles used synthesizers right? Are the Beatles not a band?

Their top 5 or so songs may top any other 21st century band

Names?

The documentary, Shut Up and Play the Hits, is awesome. They’re a great band with a killer live show. I wouldn’t rank them best by any means, but they are up there.

My favorite albums of the century are Modest Mouse’s The Moon and Antarctica or Titus Andronicus’ The Monitor, but I would never argue they are objectively and certainly the best albums. Music is too subjective for that. Thinking Lateralus is the best album is a perfectly reasonable opinion, but thinking it isn’t certainly is too.

please tell me your third favorite album is Lulu by Lou Reed & Metallica
