Universally acclaimed art/artists...that just don't do it for you

When pokering in SoCal, I enjoy PLO with the Glendale contingent, so I must remain diplomatically silent on this issue.

come on, Guys. Are Maya Rudolph, SOAD, and Lil Wayne "universally acclaimed?"

Do you Dylan haters not even like any other singers' covers of his songs?

Who the hell is David Hockney? Never heard of him before this thread.

That's because I'm a coastal elitist and you're not

I usually find Hockney at least interesting.

I just don't get Jackson Pollock. At all. Never seen a work in person.

I think a lot of the covers are great.

Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower is better than anything Dylan himself has recorded.

My favorite Dylan cover.

Good question. I don't really know. Chevy Chase got film roles, but was he ever acclaimed? I doubt it. And Dylan was acclaimed for writing, but not singing.

ban

lil wayne is universally acclaimed

maya rudolph is a hack but gets the roles because there's not too many comedic female options out there

system of a down is niche but highly praised in their niche

i'm not a big fan of this genre very much - but this is a fun album

and every single tool album is amazing

favorite one off song

favorite album

He lands somewhere between Steve Martin and Dan Aykroid. There are a few actor/comedians from that era that I would call acclaimed: Bill Murray, John Belushi, Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, John Candy and Chevy Chase.

If it was up to me, I'd replace Belushi with Martin Short. Add John Belushi to the list of universally acclaimed artists that just don't do it for me.

While we're on the subject of philosophers...

The essential mistake of most philosophers is that they start out with the colossal mistake that live is serious. This is also the quintessential mistake of the religious goons that have injected so much misery into the human condition with their inane babble.

David Lynch

i think you'll appreciate this musicianship

last i heard you live in las vegas

how dare you

I got one that might ruffle some feathers.

Yep, don't find either George Carlin or Richard Pryor funny at all.

i used to love his stuff but then rewatched some of it during covid and didn't find him funny anymore - still loved a lot of what he said though politically speaking

Pryor is great. Carlin loses me because he's so preachy. I like his observational jokes about looking at your watch and not knowing what time it is, or having too much stuff, but when he gets political, it comes off as pompous.
