No worst song ever list is complete without including Jessie's girl.

Polaris - The Mortal Coil

I’m 34 and my first job was at a music store when I was 16. I felt so lucky to be have landed that. I loved it, I loved getting to talk music with every customer and all my coworkers. I got paid to spend time in a literal music library and it was Heaven. I learned so much. I worked there until its demise as that was when music stores were all going out of business. We sold CD’s. I love going to independent vinyl stores now.

Truth by the recently deceased Jeff Beck has songs designed for this purpose

The Doobie Brothers. There’s so many reasons, but I think it’s best summed up in this: You pick your friends and it’s ok to change.

You have the self awareness.

Just gotta be able to muster the desire and strength to work toward a better you.

You can reduce your whackness. You got this.

And how do you find new music today ? Or are we now just getting if from the last late night show we watched ?

Slipknot's debut

Zeal & Ardor

Do you listen to Kim Petras?

Isn’t she problematic?

No, she’s Problematique.

Counterpoint: Wilma's rainbow from Betty

I Brought You My Bullets. You Brought Me Your Love. -MCR Their debut album and their best (imo). Written shortly after the events of September, 11th 2001.

And that’s the exact beauty that the Beatles tried to personify! We have no need to know about these senseless questions as it could take us down loops we’d never understand. It’s be a mad man talking to the mirror thinking it to be another person.

Anybody’s guess is just a guess. Doesn’t matter, just appreciate it happened.

Holy fuck you are so hilariously pretentious, I didn’t know people like you actually exist.

My decades long love of Godley & Creme started with friends buying an album cover that was plain white with a large red L on it. My brother's name started with L, so they bought it for his birthday without listening to it, or even looking at who the band was.

Now most days I walk into a record store and the workers almost seem bothered to talk about music… people have become more cynical I guess

Propagandhi or Anti-Flag

To me, King Gizz is Ween if Ween took themselves a little more seriously.

Suicidal Tendencies

I had friends that worked in record stores in the late 80s, and was always turned onto great stuff. That and just wandering around digging through the bins was a delight. I distinctly remember eyeballing Nirvana’s Bleach record many times but not buying it, thinking to not get suckered again by a cool cover. A few years later….

Yaeh - the alternatives of discovery is really streaming services, but they don't give you the variety and exploration. I realized that I had been missing out on real recommendation for new music, when it dawned on me that my last 3 new artist I had was from The Late Night shows.

Race:In from Mirrored by Battles

Totally agree. Would spend hours flipping through albums, and often get talking with the store staff about a range of stuff. I have to admit, back then (pre-internet), record stores were how I found new music. Sometimes it was just album cover artwork that got my attention. Other times it was hunting out compilation albums, and listening to them through headphones in store. Those were the days.

BROOOOOOOOOO TYYYY

Think about classical music. We all know about Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. They broke molds and people after emulated/were influenced by them. And while there are plenty of classical composers since then, only those who really study the genre will probably know their names by heart.

So it'll probably be with the future of pop/rock music. Plenty of amazing artists then and now. But the majority of future generations will only know the names of the influential giants. The rest will have to dig deeper.
