They are probably third for me after Pink Floyd and Arcade Fire. Springsteen, Zeppelin, and probably Radiohead round out top five for me.

Ok, since I can't seem to update the playlist, I created my own with the songs I have chosen that are missing. Would someone, who has access to the main playlist mind transferring these over? TIA.

I would guess cosjobs is out too. I think he indicated he wasn't going past 30 and he hasn't.

I started at the bottom, but as I got about halfway up it seemed everything was already there, so I'm assuming someone else was helping at the same time and started at the top.

Or, I guess not. Went further up and they weren't there. For some reason maybe a few of yours had gone through already. Anyway, all in now.I started at the bottom, but as I got about halfway up it seemed everything was already there, so I'm assuming someone else was helping at the same time and started at the top.

When you mentioned it I was thinking how the hell can she like that over John's (and yoko's) Christmas song.

I'm half Japanese so I've experienced racism as a kid in an all Caucasian part of Milwaukee. But I blend in much better in California.
We've been together a long time so I recognize casual racism when I see it but I expect things are worse when I'm not around. Being multiracial was certainly something we talked to the kids about from an early age. We knew that the world would identify them as Black; like with everything else, you prepare them the best you can but you have to send them out into the world.
My son moved out of our house right after graduation and rented an in-law until from his grandparents in a heavily African American part of SF. In the first year after he moved to the Bayview, he was stopped by the police six times. He was never cited for anything. I cried the night he told me that. He had always wanted to be in law enforcement from a very young age. and trained at the SFPD academy in summer during high school. Getting pulled over repeatedly put a damper on his career plans. He joined the Air Force and is three years into his stint. When he came back at start of shutdown, I asked if was still interested in law enforcement but just smiled and shrugged. He's a funny kid-he usually signs off our family videocons with "stay Black".

My neighbor the drunk (who was last seen drumming in his swimsuit next door about 100 pages ago) hates Mozart. When there's a symphony program featuring Mozart, he won't show up until intermission. He's a barbarian.
I'd go with Beethoven because I think there's more variation and career progression than with Mozart. Mozart has beautiful melodies of course but the orchestration gets kind of samey samey after twenty or thirty symphonies.

That Reasons I Drink song she put out last year was awful. I remember watching her sing that on a late night talk show; we couldn't go to sleep because we kept laughing about it.

Alive and Wide awake in America again. I knocked on Mozart's door back in 1987, but he didn't answer. I think it was in Austria.

My wife and I have been watching Restaurants on the Edge on Netflix. It's like most restaurant-on-the-verge-of-failing shows I imagine (its the first we've watched, should we be watching Guy or someone?) but quite a few are set in Canada.
About 3-4 years ago, we decided we were going to work towards quitting our jobs and opening a local pub. Local beer, local food, possibly a small side store that also acts as like a local market. We have a business plan, suppliers, etc... lined up but we had a very specific location in mind (on the second most major street in the city and very near our 700 home subdivision and two upcoming 500-1000 home subdivisions). We have talked to the developer a bunch of times and they have been very receptive/given us first shot at the location when it's built... (we have already bought our house and in-laws house from them) but they've really dragged their heels on the commercial aspect of things and they're still at the moving dirt around stage.
Now post-covid, we're not sure we'll proceed with it at all or not. We've realized how fragile it is and how many restaurants won't come back. My cousins own what was a profitable restaurant in town. They were trying to sell pre-covid with no luck (probably asking too much but it was to be their retirement and it was only on the market a couple months). Now they're trying to sell their house to avoid going under. My job pays well, though I often hate it. Mrs. NV will work from home now going forward.
I guess the flip side (and this is crappy, I know), is that if so many pubs and restaurants don't come back and things ever return to normal, maybe we get in the market at the expense of all those who had to suffer huge losses the past few and upcoming few months, and as what would be a somewhat mom and pop setup, who knows... But even then the next pandemic or war... is forever possibly around the corner. And I see how much a struggle it is for the few FBGs already trying to make it work, as much as we love our ideas.

STP - Interstate Love Song - Great hook. Never cared for Weiland as a frontman
Beastie Boys - Sure Shot - Get this party started. C'mon shuffle don't bring it down.
The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist - A DJ couldn't have transitioned better.
Seger - Turn the Page - I had a roommate from Detroit who was a big fan. I was surprised the Springsteen/Seger thread was as even as it was and I've been known to be contrarian at times.
GBV - Game of Pricks - Pollard would have been good a desert island artist because he has so many records.
Rosanne - She's Got You - Love this. She doesn't try to kill the song, unmannered delivery.
Beatles - Here Comes the Sun - I love it when the band comes in after the first quiet verse. Beatles records are always gorgeously recorded. Most records from the same era haven't aged this well from a pure fidelity standpoint.

Classical music themed comedy series on Amazon. It ran for four seasons I think but it's been canceled.
It was kind of uneven as most things get over forty hours but Gael García Bernal was outstanding as the conductor.

I'm not sure I have here to be honest. When we were most serious about it, we were also keeping everything close to the vest. Now that we're waffling, we're talking more openly about it, if that makes any sense.

If I could have 5 Beethoven symphonies or all 41 of Mozart's, I take Beethoven. But I don't listen to symphonies much. It's the rest of the music that makes me prefer Mozart. Oversimplified, but he's lighter, happier, easier to listen to and more predictable. He wrote perfect compositions. Nothing can be added. Nothing can be deleted. (Who am I, Saliere?). Beethoven experimented, challenged listeners, broke new ground, built in surprises... which sometimes for me are awkward moments. I always want to hear a pianist skip the clunky part of Fur Elise, as an example. I'm simple.

Vital Signs - The Boys Are Doing It - Worst Wyld Stallyns cover ever. Get this out of here.
Blur - Coffee and TV - Oasis was a better band at the outset but Blur got better and Oasis got stagnant. Cool song but went on a little too long.
Alanis - You Oughta Know - Karma gets me for speaking ill of her earlier but Morissette is like a more annoying Sophie B. Hawkins.
Justin Timberlake - SexyBack - My cultural appropriation sensors are working overtime this week but this is still a banger.
Paul Simon - Under African Skies - Wish I had this album on my island. The suppleness of this bassline after the metronomic one in the Timberlake song was a big contrast.
