For a singer to be good, their songs need to be good as well.

People love when a singer over sings on a pop song that is absolutely terrible. Whitney Houston is considered by many to be the greatest singer of all time, but her music is just awful. She had no creative input in it, and it is basically the blandest middle-of-the-road music you can find. The same also goes for Celine Dion. Her music is like watching paint dry. Now Aretha's music has got some energy. Day Dreaming is one of the best songs of the 70s, and she's got a ton of other great songs. This is why I think Aretha is a better singer than Whitney and Celine. She's not wasting her talent singing junk. Her music is good. If Whitney and Celine had made songs that were better, more creative, I would think they were better singers. In my mind, what good is a great voice if the music sucks?

What are some artists from the 80s/ 90s that are great but relatively unknown?

I am listening to Tommy Keene, and he is great, but his biggest song Places that Are Gone has 469 thousand streams

Another one I like is the Tall Dwarfs. Their biggest hit Nothing's Going to Happen has 356 thousand streams.

When I was psychotic I thought the nurses were doing psychological torture on me by doing the same mechanistic movements again and again in the hallway. Now that I think about it, I think my consciousness was just looping the scene over and over again. Does that happen to people? Where you see an event and it happens again and again and again?

People who believe in free will think people are the deciders of their own fate. OK, but what criteria do they make their decisions by? If they are weighing the odds and had a consistent standard by which they would make decisions, they would have no free will because their decisions were already decided for them by their decision-making process. However, if they are irrational, and make decisions with no forethought, then there is free will.
