Pitchfork has gone a bit Tasker for my liking, but I'll give it a try, thanks.
This one dominated my listening so much in 2017, I would have given it a 50 this year if the rules allowed.
I remember you looking poppier/dancier and more hip hop stuff than me... Pitchfork is more that direction than when I first started checking out.
Yeah Spotify is the best- they even will make a playlist just for you of songs they know you will like based on your listening history.
I would agree with that, except for the part about my mom.
I usually try to check out a band every day based on a Spotify rec. It's amazing how accurate it is. Today was some band called Zula, I'd never heard of them, kinda psych-rocky, reminded me a lot of Sunflower Bean or Jagwar Ma.
It's cool to see how everyone's musical tastes change over time. It's one of the reasons I enjoy these threads the drafts so much. I can't I'magine being the type of person that just listens to the same songs or even genre their entire life like it's some kind of religion.
Agree 100%. But while I am glad to have significantly evolved my music sweet spot over the years, nothing wrong with throwing down a little hair metal every now and then.
if anything, my taste has devolved the older I've gotten. I've grown to like the dumbest, most straight ahead guitar/garagey stuff... just has to sound right to my ears, either guitar sound, hook or voice-wise, and I'm all in.Agree 100%. But while I am glad to have significantly evolved my music sweet spot over the years, nothing wrong with throwing down a little hair metal every now and then.
Cards on the table, I've found it hard to enjoy his music ever since I found out how much he's into Scientology. That may or may not be a bad reason to drop someone you've liked for a long time, but here we are.
I think at some point, our personal opinion of an artist coincides with theory and religion, inextricably so. I wouldn't beat yourself up over not liking him for that. I certainly have had an interesting political take on certain artists I love. If that turns you off from him, then so be it.
I completely forgot Notes Of Blue came out in 2017. There were about 5 albums that I forgot about and wished I would have listed.
This was from me. Granted, I'm a huge Toadies homer, catching all of the Vaden acoustic shows locally and see the band fully 3 - 4 times a year, but I feel like this album sounds as much like Rubberneck as anything they have put out since.
case in point- I genuinely think/feel/want to like Father John Misty. it always sounds almost there for me, but the too-clever lyrics and song arrangements turn me off in the most irrational, yet profound way. makes me want to punch him and his music in the face.
Ah, yes, Texas. I think Rubberneck and Hell Below Stars Above are really underrated '90s albums. I personally love a bunch of songs off of those albums. It's not so local to me, but definitely enjoy them.

No joke - but that’s part of why I love this thread. I’d never listen to that music in a million years so it’s awesome getting other people’s takes on what they consider good music. Don’t get me wrong, that album is horrible but I’m still glad I listened to it.Not you too
so pathetic.
Looks like NYC picked a good week to have off. Can't imagine having to go though all of that... hopefully as a nation we'll be putting it behind us soon.
It sucks but I actually was a junior in high school when Columbine happened. I remember shooter drills and we got bomb threats and had to evacuate so sadly to me it doesn't too bizarre to me.
Right. As much as things change, they stay the same.We had air raid drills when I was in school
