Fucker got demoted.

Yeah my dude. Just vibn and cigar smoke added to my painting playlist. 🙏

Not necessarily one song because I don’t think you can narrow it down to one but Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City by Kendrick. One of my homies who was always ahead of things put it on when it dropped and as soon as I heard Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe I knew it was going to be fire, and then every song was just as good, with such a great mix of party songs with introspective tracks, great features and production, and the perfect album to live up to the hype Kendrick had been building for himself up to that point. I just had such a strong feeling that it was going to be a really big record for a lot of people for a long time. I heard that album and its singles played at every kickback, party, smoke session, hangout, pretty much every social gathering from fall 2012 through all of 2013. I still hear people play it all the time and it still slaps.

They're ok, I think it's an overplayed thing for some people. But I will always like and appreciate their music because they were my history teacher's (and friend) favorite band.

He had a good mainstream pop voice, but he couldn't rock. So...Nah.

Woah definitely adding adding her to my playlist

There’s nothing wrong with a lighthearted post about my favorite vocalist but I suppose certain individuals just desire to argue.

Hey man i’m just stating my opinion. You must be fun at parties.

Cds are getting shorter all the time actually can hold 73 minutes

you're listening to it already?

I sure do!

Frankie Rose covered the cure's seventeen seconds album. I was bummed after I bought it on Bandcamp as soon as it came out, thinking it was going to be a new album of original music (I like the cure significantly less than Frankie Rose). But it's a good cover album.

Never pay more than $40 for a concert.

Large arena shows are garbage.

About bloody time

I call that a Crazy Train.

Lyrics hurt more songs than they help. Fully instrumental music should be a lot more popular.

Also, professor comes ahead of sir/dame, like Professor Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Not sure why Dr wouldn't.

Amy was awkward and lovable. Damaged but kind. Her voice got her to fame, but her pain informed her art and that includes her discomfort with performances. Seeing her on stage sober despite that made me love her more. That was a challenge and she did it anyway.

In a variety of interviews you can see she had low self esteem. Amy was exploited like a cash cow and her story gives me a visceral reaction every time I think of her.

I'm going to share mine since everyone is sharing theirs.

I'm absolutely in love with Florence Welch's voice and I KNOW, some people loooove to say it's an acquired taste. I love the flourish, I love the fluctuation and her process of thinking of climaxes. She uses texture, she plays with winding notes, beautiful sustainment. She can add and subtract that fluttery vibrato that is entirely controlled and make it sound wild and free.

I love how she can ASSAULT notes and has an entirely contrasting heady falsetto. I love her dark chesty notes and mid-ranged belting. I've never seen someone use their voice the way she does.

Examples:

Example 1 : Unique Vocal Perspective

Example 2 Her Fearless Vocal delivery

Example 3 Her heady falsetto

I've not seen anyone blend in and out of genres in a single song how she can. Classical, Soul, Rock, Pop, folk music.

Have an opinion but know when something is subjective. Also your reasons make zero sense. Timing isnt something that is an inherited talent. If you're a professional musician timing is like oxygen, you have to have it and it's not a hard thing to grasp. Very left-field take. He was a very forgettable singer

Elvis sounds the same in every song he sings.

Dolly Parton is overrated.

Instruments need to make a comeback in popular music. Computer clicks and zippity-zaps aren’t “music”.

Tool Aenima Ween Chocolate and cheese Tool Fear Innoculum Tool Lateralus You should just listen to Tool for the year 😁

I don’t know, trying to out-soul Lionel Ritchie is a losing man’s game.

Thanks for sending, but I’m not feeling it personally. It sounds to me like Counting Crows cover of Big Yellow Taxi. Worse than the original in every way.

However, as you said, that’s not really his thing, so is there maybe a hidden Faith No More gem that I should listen to?

Favorites this year:

Pup - The Unraveling of the Band Pup

Viagra Boys - Cave World

Next year:

Hopefully a new Distillers record!
