Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone? by Harvey Danger is still one of favorite albums. That's the one with Flagpole Sitta on it

And I feel really shitty calling them one-hit wonders, but Jimmy Eat World's only song to make the Billboard top 10 was The Middle, even though Bleed American is an awesome album, and they've made great music before and after

Oh yeah I totally believe you, internet stranger with no proof of their habits and no compelling evidence other than "well I'm telling you that none of the people I know has spent as much time as I have not working and consuming media, so obviously you couldn't have either".

Like I said, this is an exercise in futility lol. Thanks for proving me right!

Oh, I remember that name! She's the same one who thought we were all being too mean to Jussie Smollett about faking hate crimes.

Lmao who thinks musicians are least intelligent in the arts??

Glenn Gould was a true genius in putting Bach onto piano

Nina Simone undoubtedly up there

Kurt Cobain in this very raw, direct way

Also Tom’s “Ol 55” is better than the Eagles more popular cover

I’m going to have to listen to it, I’ve been on a bit of a Eurythmics binge lately!

I love both for different reasons but agree that Stevie’s version is better.

In fact, read this article and focus on this piece:

“Prosecutors sometimes choose to go ahead with more trials out of a concern that convictions elsewhere could be reversed during appeals. They see an opportunity for additional convictions as insurance.

“We didn’t do a monetary cost-benefit analysis,” Foxx said, adding, however, that resources spent on a trial now could instead be used “in advocacy for other survivors of sexual abuse.”

And then recognize this one victim’s assault case began before the federal convictions ever spooled up:

“Foxx announced the Cook County charges months before the federal cases in New York and Chicago. Foxx's office alleged he repeatedly sought out girls for sex, including one he encountered at her 16th birthday party and another who met Kelly while he was on trial in 2008.”

And then worst of all, the DA begged women to come forward to strengthen the case:

“Foxx, who in 2019 had pleaded with women and girls to come forward so she could pursue charges against Kelly, acknowledged that the decision “may be disappointing” to his accusers.”

It is a colossal failure for those specific victims that R Kelly will be guilty of everything but actual sexual abuse.

Tecumseh Valley by Townes Van Zandt. Just a devastatingly sad, beautiful song too

What about Annie Lennox's cover of Take Me to the River?

Test Drive Off-road - Gravity Kills, Mortal Kombat OST / Mortal Kombat More Kombat - the rest of the artist. It’s what introduced me to industrial music.

Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground is so much better than RHCP's cover, but I do like both.

And that is precisely what I mean by letting emotion rule over being objective and reasonable.

It makes sense to everyone but the victims. That is who the trial would be for. It would be so they could have their day in court and he would be, not just punished in general, but punished specifically for hurting them.

It costs EVERYONE a shit ton of money to hold any length trial, but especially a lengthy, high profile one like this. The costs associated with moving ahead with this would be astronomical.
