Rxknephew - American tterroristt is probably the only joke song I've ever laughed at, so many good lines I think about somewhat often. Might not really be a joke song but just a very funny song.

First of all, I am not a big fan of Coldplay, but I do like some of their earlier stuff, especially the first few albums.I think they have one of the best live shows/performances of any artist currently.I just love their stage production.Chris Martin also seems like a genuinely good dude, so yeah, I respect him and the band for these reasons. :)

I like the songs, Yellow, Paradise, Fix You, The Scientist and Adventure of a Lifetime.

What are some great genres that have spawned some absolutely shit subgenres? For me, it has to be post-grunge.

Grunge is one of my favourite genres, and some of my favourite bands ever came out of that scene like Nirvana, Mudhoney, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam, etc. What I love about those bands is that, despite all being lumped under the grunge label, they actually had very distinct sounds and personalities. There was a rawness and authenticity to the music that made it feel like more than just a genre or aesthetic.

Then you get post-grunge, which to me feels like a bastardised, watered-down version of everything that made grunge great. It took the basic formula distorted guitars, angst, quiet-loud dynamics and raspy vocals and made it much more polished, radio-friendly and commercially accessible. And don’t even get me started on all the lead singers doing those exaggerated Eddie Vedder impressions lol.

Bands like Puddle of Mudd, 3 Doors Down and Creed are obviously hugely successful, but personally I can’t stand them. To me, post-grunge often feels like grunge stripped of its personality and turned into generic early 2000s rock designed for mainstream radio.

Obviously there are exceptions, but as a whole, post-grunge is probably one of my least favourite offshoots of a genre I otherwise absolutely love.

for me its scaled & icy by twenty one pilots

this album genuinely carried 2021 for me i love it so much. i was pretty shocked to see that ppl hated it :////

mulberry street, formidable, saturday, and choker are so good. idc if it sounds basic i love it

Actually I think it’s one of my favorite songs ever

It’s actually fine if you ask me

Batdance wasn’t included on any of princes compilation albums until his posthumous 4ever compilation despite it being a billboard hot 100 #1 mainly due to copyright and sample reasons

Shakedown by Bob Seger wasn’t included on his first greatest hits album despite it being his only hot 100 #1 but it was included on the 2nd one. Ramblin Gamblin Man wasn’t included on either of his greatest hits albums despite it being his first big hit.

This for me is not only one of the best albums of 96, but one of the best albums from the 90s as a whole. Berman's lyricism is fantastic and I love the whole atmosphere surrounding the record. What do you think about it?

Mine: Storefront Church - Blue Movie

It’s a synth-driven, art pop record but that doesn’t really cover all of it. There are some noisier moments (Heaven or Los Angeles), some dancier moments (Pictures of Her Debit Card), some tender moments (Wilhelmina, my favorite track overall), lots of good humor (Fatal Attraction).

The vocals are full of this sorta psychotic, off-kilter charm. The production sounds great and the sequencing is immaculate.

Probably my favorite of the year so far.

And once you’ve checked this one out go back and listen to his last record Ink & Oil, which is also amazing but completely different. That’s a huge, orchestral art pop record à la Leonard Cohen, Scott Walker, Nick Cave, etc.
