[quote]That list is basically AIDS. No way "artists" such as SZA, Travis Scott, or Missy Elliot--among others--should ever be on a Top 10,000 list, much less Top 100 list.[/quote] It's just heavy on recency. It makes sense for a streaming service, which is going to be more pitched at a younger a...

Jimmy Soul's "If You Want to be Happy" would never fly today, but it's pretty hilarious. https://youtu.be/fxUY-99TPRY?si=gFa3_D_I2j0xSCH1...

I've done it and have stopped for a few years. It shouldn't pose an issue if it's legal OTC (some states have regulated it differently). If you see Bronkaid OTC, you should be fine to take it and testing won't be an issue. I would heavily caution using it. I did, and it's a strong stimulant....
I feel this way about most of U2's popular catalogue. I like a number of their songs, but they've got a bunch of overplayed hits that I don't really need to hear again. Like One, it's a good song, but I've heard it enough I don't need to hear it again....

[quote]Bc he's not a raging lib douche[/quote] I guess I don't see the point of injecting politics into everything. Neither Springsteen or Seger's songs are particularly political. FWIW, Seger was a fan of Bernie and Hillary in 2016. It's a question about artistic merit and politics doesn't ...

[quote]In their primes, Seger always came off as more authentic.[/quote] I don't know about this. A huge part of Springsteen's early work is almost the definition of New Jersey in the 70's. If anything, Springsteen was such a defining artist that his lyrics almost created a reality. Those ...
[quote]It’s a great song[/quote] I didn't like it or the Killers when it came out. Both have grown on me a ton. Mr. Brightside has more depth than what I thought it was and the Killers have evolved their sound and made some really great records. Stuff like the Michigan singalong shows ho...
[quote]She has many good songs.[/quote] This will be unpopular, but I respect her as an artist. It isn't as easy or simple as people think to make pop music and she's the best at doing it since prime Michael Jackson. I'm not gonna say I'm huge into her, but if you want me to listen to a pop a...

[quote]I think Springsteen gets a little too much hate. He’s not the greatest thing ever but he has put out some amazing music. Nebraska is an outstanding album as is Darkness of on the Edge Town. Also a great live performer. Go watch or listen to one of his live shows from the 78 or 80-81 tour.[/qu...

re: Beatles or Stones?

Posted by Rep520 on 5/10/24 at 4:06 pm
There's not a wrong answer. Both bands are legendary for a reason and people have their own preferences. If I have to pick, I say Beatles just because their run was insane, then they morphed into solo careers that made it clear all 4 members were huge talents in their own right, nit just as a co...
[quote]Does this apply to the whole park or will there be areas that will be less crowded to just get out and do some light exploring/sightseeing?[/quote] The advice here on Yellowstone is dead on. It's amazing and a bucket list experience everybody should do. Booking this late for July is go...

I had surgery on both my elbows and had to restart by benching an empty bar. I would tell you start much lighter than you think you have to. I wound up pushing too hard too early and flared up tendinitis. That made me have to back down to resolve and build back. Don't repeat my mistakes. St...
