This seems like a shitty way to enjoy music. No offense op. Instead do the same album for a week. See what you learn. (I'm being a little over dramatic. You do you. This just seems like an exercise in quantity rather than gaining any insight to artistic ability or nuance.)

Chevelle-Brainiac

That’s a fantastic start wym

Gonna Fly Nowrl by Bill Conti, theme song from Rocky. And Lose Yourself, Eminem. (Just real as hell, raw)

Utopia - Utopia

Check out Alestorm's library!!

Probably because pop sucks ballz

Nah, I was just being silly.

Pantera - Walk

And Swallowed 👍

Good one. That made me think, so I checked, and Machinehead is one word too!

Dreams - Beck

Glycerine - Bush

I started this challenge last year to fill in gaps in my music knowledge since I grew up on grunge and later and only know a little about previous eras.

I've found it very enjoyable but the editor is biased against some alt music and rails against emo music in a paragraph in the book. Some omissions include Weezer, Tool, Modest Mouse, Death Cab, 3EB, Jimmy Eat World and probably more I can't think off at the moment. Full list with all editions if you're curious

Haken - Veil

Come on man.

I had a rough night and I hate the fuckin eagles man.

Slipknot - Surfacing or Purity or Eyeless..

>Leonard cohen 🔥, nick drake 🔥, Velvet underground,🔥 miles Davis🔥, the kinks🔥, john coltrane,🔥 Nina Simone, townes van Zandt🔥

I pretty much agree with your fire rating for all the above. However, both your rating and mine are subjective and not based on a universal consensus of what makes good or interesting music. Different people value different things.

Furthermore, the parameters are very different. You're not comparing like with like. 'A Kind of Blue' can't be held up against 'Sgt Pepper' and a winner chosen. That's like comparing Usain Bolt and Pele and declaring Bolt better.

TBH, your post had L written all over it from the moment you hit send.

It grates me to no end but (for example) there's no group called "the Eagles." They're Eagles.

It does not roll off the tongue.

What a wild thing to say. I understand where you’re coming from but pop music, the popular song, song form, and recorded music is inherently western. Sure it grew throughout the later half of the 20th century but to think that ANY list of pop music won’t be predominantly western is willfully ignorant.

Lol yeah. That came up a couple times where we always thought there was a the, and wasn't. Pixies is a good one though.

Do you have your cranky pants on?

They do have much better songs...but I never would have heard any of them if it weren't for Seven Nation Army...just being honest. That song changed my life, honestly.

I'll believe you that that first one is a word...
