Best Band of 2017

Also, Pink Floyd did nothing before or after Dark Side of The Moon. These are all contentious statements and purely subjective.

No, the fact that Pink Floyd only released one album is objective fact.

I couldn't have said it better than martyfalling's last post, really. I was saying basically the exact same thing to my freshman adviser the other day as Tubgirl-ed one another while THE ARCANA's TOMORROW IS A DAY THAT IS NOT TODAY AND THAT IS ALSO NOT YESTERDAY AND YESTERDAY IS NOT TODAY EITHER BECAUSE TODAY IS JUST TODAY ONLY.

If you think that post was missing some words and was barely coherent, I think you just need to open your mind and learn how to think differently through your mind about the world in which we live in.

Um, how can this be Arctic Monkeys, seeing as how they have done nowt this year? (Or last year?)

Oh sorry, Artic Monkeys, the lorry-based tribute act, right?

No doubt there will be more releases from them in the coming months - so good, some not so good.

It makes me feel very sad to see so much hatred and ridicule in the world. This thread seems to exemplify this. But let us face the facts: why are we even contributing to this thread? Simply, because we are all sad losers, including myself, with nothing better to do with our lives. No doubt everyone here is skipping school or college because they are seen by their peers as outcasts and misfits - why else are we here? Nevertheless, life goes on even if all of us here feel like giving it up. I don't much like Weezer.

because we are all sad losers, including myself,

Sing it sister.

No doubt everyone here is skipping school or college

demographic nailed

it's all been downhill since 1977#ROADRUNNER#EMI

The negativity in this thread is sad, but it's understandable. We're all lost and confused, trying to figure out how to navigate fifteen credit hours every semester while getting zero credit for our hours of pain. There's no quad big enough to contain my pain, no frisbee ultimate enough to quell my sorrow. I watch people line up at the credit card sign-up, eager for their free t-shirt emblazoned with 'FUTURE CONSUMER' in foot-high letters. This computer lab is a den of shame, true, where I sit in an eternally-frozen moment and contemplate the gravity of 'like'-ing the Facebook picture Tina Wolczyk from that party where losers like me could've never dared crash...but this lab is also a cocoon, where I can feel myself changing and growing while I listen to my optimally-sequenced fan edit of the album TOMORROW'S YESTERDAYS ARE TODAY'S TODAYS by THE ARNANCA on an endless loop, growing and changing and one day emerging as a fully-formed perma-temp with a degree I'll never use and student loans that I'll never pay off. And even if that glorious day never arrives, I will always have memories of my ACARNA-woven chrysalis, and of that time in 10th grade when Helen O'Malley let me touch her boob (overshirt, but still).

see now i feel bad because up until this point i've assumed that dear marty is a member of this band or, god forbid, an independent contractor being paid actual money to go on this ill-fated word of mouth quest on the worst possible choice of message board

now i'm thinking what if he's a personal friend or family member of THE ARCANA ?

like this poor brother-in-law really doesn't need to hear every detail of my world famous piss and scat fetish parties

While we make our scat jokes, martyfalling is marshalling an army of unjaded new registered users to vote in this poll and enshrine The ARCANA as the best band of 2017 for all eternity

the RYM migration was bad enough

the best band of 2017 should be We Are Scientists but I guess THE ARCANA is the next best thing

Let's face it: there's some people posting in this thread who are CLOSE-minded. It's easy to fall into routine habits. I even do it myself sometimes!

And there's a time and a place for that. For example, if you don't like a band (for example, Weezer) there are many places that opinion can be shared. Believe me, there is PLENTY of room for competing fans/fandoms on the Internet. I'm not arguing there isn't.

But what I don't get is, why you would come to this specific board, to share these opinions. When what you could be doing is LISTENING to the bands on this list and figuring out which ones you LIKE. Instead of making CLOSE-MINDED JUDGMENT STATEMENTS about stuff you're not even trying to understand.

As for calling everyone on the board losers... Well guess what! Not everyone posting here is some guy in mom's basement with a toy collection. Some of us have graduated college and are pursuing diverse careers. Some of us are even entrepreneurs! (Try googling "blockchain".)

The funny thing about all of this is that I'm not even mad. I just think it's funny how some people behave. My point is let's keep the board focused on the MUSIC.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

do you think Haim is pronounced like Cory's last name (ie. Feld-man)

So hard this poll. I can’t vote just for one. I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs because the music from these bands get me high.

Dear children,

This is music. Learn it. Love it. Pass it on.

This list is missing Rammstein tbh.

is martyfalling a high concept sock? was "the arcana" invented purely for the purpose of this troll? how much money went into this?

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Voted jawbox but should’ve voted for Arcana.
