sort of. You can listen to the radio for free, and you can listen to playlists. BUT, your playlists are random and you can not have playlists off line. Still need to pay for that.

Spotify has a huge catalog but there are still gaps in it. KP will be disappointed to find that all Thom Yorke projects after Hail to the Thief are unavailable. Yorke pulled them in a dispute over royalty rates. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, ECM Records and AC/DC are also largely absent. There's also a lot of dreck re-recordings, tribute bands and karaoke tracks that mess up search results, particularly on mobile. But it's had a major impact on my listening habits. I don't download nearly as much as I used to.

Subscribing also gets you their highest quality audio. It matters if you listen through a decent system. The premium 320 kbps stream, to me, is not discernible from a cd. The 160k free stream is crappy but okay on my phone and tablet but the difference is really clear on my PC or through my media center speakers. I don't know how much data we save with my kid listening offline when she's out of reach of wifi, but she says it's over an hour a day, so that may be helpful too. No ads was what initially compelled me to pay $10 a month. Then I read about the artists getting hosed by free streaming and don't mind helping. Those reasons are not as important to me now as the audio and offline capabilities.AcerFC said:sort of. You can listen to the radio for free, and you can listen to playlists.

I think I got caught up thinking about albums that had the most effect on shaping my musical tastes throughout the years. A couple of the next picks will be from the pivotal High School years. I grew up with a family that basically only listened to country, and I hated it. Of course I rebelled by going the other way and as soon as I could control it/steal tapes from my sister's boyfriends, etc.. I basically only listened to heavy metal. It was all Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer for 4-5 years until 1/2 way through High School and let my metal guard down and explored other stuff. I was a drummer in the band,didn't have the coordination to excel at set but I gravitated toward music that had good drumming. I will choose the album I think had the most influence on the switch in the last round like I am supposed to, but there were 3-4 albums that I could think of that came out in the '91/'92 era (or came out a little earlier and I just got my hands on them at that time) that really starting bridging the gap between only metal to other stuff. Only makes sense when I think of it now that all have good drumming and still feature enough hard rockin' to make the transition less scary for me
Pretty sure one of my band geek friends gave me a copy of his tape and I had to go get my own copy the following weekend. I was hooked on Herb's drumming instantly, and I guess Les can hold his own too.

One of my metal head coworkers offered to give me a ride home after closing one night. We didn't have much it common except for our love for Slayer and Metallica. Jumped in his car expecting Seasons in the Abyss or something, and instead was greeted with some Tori Amos at top volume. Stuck with me and I love this album. Her more than any artist gives me the goosebumps because I can hear the passion and emotion coming through her songs. Loved seeing her live with my wife a few years ago. This song still always gets a physical reaction from me:

I'll take a little diversion here and play along with this theme today. I didn't really start to fully discover "alternative" rock until I graduated high school and joined the Air Force in 1990. This album belonged to my first roommate at the Presidio of Monterey, and I couldn't get enough of it. I wasn't exactly dismissive of this kind of stuff before, I just never had much exposure to it until I left my little pocket of metalhead friends and ventured out into the world..

This is a beautiful acoustic version from 2013. Just a great song. And the ending was clearly ripped from "Good Day Sunshine" (or vice-versa?)

The best drummer taken in this draft. Thought about this for my instrumental.
11.xx Payola$ - Eyes Of a Stranger (80's movie soundtrack)
From cheesy "Valley Girl" movie with oscar winner Nic Cage. Must have watched this dozens of times as a kid and I don't know why. Maybe it was Cage's blank stare into my soul.

So, I owe two.
Overflows -- Superchunk (Sad Song)
This was one of my favorite albums of 2013, filled with one of my favorite sub-genres. The ecstatic song about sadness or grief. The album is about the death of a friend, and this, the first song on the album, really captures that feeling of how you filter literally everything through that type of loss. "What would she have thought of this song, this paella, this television show?" It's a song about how grief transforms the most quotidian things into acts of remembrance. And the album, while acknowledging how inadequate it is to the task, is about the attempt to remember someone through music. Oh, and it's also some pretty rocking pop-punk if that's your thing.

The Bleeding Heart Show -- The New Pornographers (Chill bumps)
I've talked myself out of this one about 5 times, because I figure it's something everyone knows. But it's the song that most immediately comes to mind for the category to me. I don't always love the TNP, but when Neko's voice comes in at the end on this one, the hairs on my forearms stand up.

wow...surprised by that first one- first, I thought Superchunk broke up a long time ago, and also never would have pegged them for a "sad"song. Their first two albums are some of my favorites- felt like a band that got kind of overlooked in those early years of grunge/post-grunge.

10.XX Initiation - Todd Rundgren
ETA (forgot the song link ...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DAwnzkw4a4
For those that know me here, know Todd will appear on most any song draft for me. This whole album is about religioun and self-exploration.
Content[SIZE=small][[/SIZE]edit]
Initiation was a concept album that could be broken into two parts corresponding to its two sides, each of which was over 30 minutes long. The first side was made up of Rundgren's songs from various rock genres, similar to previous Rundgren albums such as Todd; all of the members of Utopia appeared, as well as many of Rundgren's friends such as the members of the Edgar Winter Group on "Fair Warning". The second side, however, was entirely made up of the heavily synthesized instrumental work "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire", named after a 1930 book of the same name by theosophist Alice Bailey (whose works, influenced by the writings of H.P. Blavatsky, also included the concept of "initiation" and the "seven rays"). Rundgren performs all of the instrumental parts, with credited programming help for the synthesizers from Utopia synthesizer player Roger Powell.
Album opener "Real Man" (which featured all of the original members of Utopia except for M. Frog Labat) and the modulated a capella "Born to Synthesize" have Rundgren acknowledging that he should face himself and follow his dreams of experimenting more with music than creating conventional pop records.[citation needed] "The Death of Rock and Roll", ironically the hardest rocking song on the record, takes a stab at the critics that rejected his previous rock albums A Wizard, a True Star and Todd. At the same time, Rundgren was also experimenting with Eastern religious concepts, exploring these themes on "Eastern Intrigue", as well as forming the basis of "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire". The closing tracks of the first side, the "disco-prog" title track and the soul music-inspired "Fair Warning", cryptically state that Rundgren is ready to push forward and that it is up to the listener to follow along or tune out.[citation needed]
The second side, the side-long, multipart "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire," (evidently based on the occult treatise by Alice Bailey) is a springboard for synth experimentation. On vinyl and in theiTunes Store, "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire" was indexed into four tracks, each consisting of one of the four movements of the piece (with "Outro - Prana" appended to the fourth track); track times for the individual movements are given below. Both the CD and vinyl erroneously list the song as being 36 minutes exactly.
The album is one of the longest single LPs of all time, totaling almost 68 minutes of playing time. Due to the length of "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire", the master tape speed was raised slightly and the recording's dynamic range was compressed to fit the entire song onto one side of the vinyl during mastering. The album's original inner sleeve included a "Technical Note" stating "Due to the amount of music on this disc (over one hour), two points must be emphasized. Firstly, if your needle is worn or damaged, it will ruin the disc immediately. Secondly, if the sound does seem not loud enough on your system, try re-recording the music onto tape".

11.XX Baby's On Fire - Eno
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nItuhuY1U04
Fresh off of Roxy Music, this song had some good airplay and has a wicked guitar solo from Robert Fripp of King Crimson. The whole album is sweet - give it a listen.
Baby's on FireFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Die Antwoord song, see Ten$Ion.
"Baby's on Fire" Song by Brian Eno from the album Here Come the Warm Jets Released 1973 Recorded Majestic Studios, London Genre Art rock, glam rock Length 5:19 Label Island Composer Brian Eno Producer Brian Eno Here Come the Warm Jets track listing "The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch"
(2) "Baby's on Fire"
(3) "Cindy Tells Me"
(4) "Baby's on Fire" is the third track on English musician Brian Eno's 1973 debut album, Here Come the Warm Jets. It is an example of the predominantly glam/art rock style Eno employed at the time, praised for its guitar solo by King Crimson founder Robert Fripp.

Writing and recording[SIZE=small][[/SIZE]edit]Eno recorded "Baby's on Fire" during the Here Come the Warm Jets sessions in September 1973 at Majestic Studios, London, where he had previously recorded the majority of his earlier material. The track was produced by Eno, who handled production and mixing duties on the bulk of the album's recording, and was created with musicians Simon King, Marty Simon, Robert Fripp, Paul Rudolph, and John Wetton.[1] The song is a bizarre fantasy about a photography session involving a burning infant and unthinking, laughing onlookers.[2]
Live recordings of the song have appeared on various Eno recordings, the first being June 1, 1974, performed with Kevin Ayers, John Cale, Ollie Halsall and Eddie Sparrow.[3] Eno spoke positively about this performance, saying, "The instruments were incredibly out of tune, so out of tune you wouldn’t believe it. But it sounds fantastic. There’s one little bit in it where there’s a riff between the guitar and one of the bassists, and they’re so out of tune it sounds like cellos. Amazing! I mean if you tried to make that sound in the studio it would have taken you ages. You wouldn’t have thought of making it, in fact, it’s such a bizarre sound. And the piano and guitar are quite well out of tune as well. Ha!"[4]
Musical composition[SIZE=small][[/SIZE]edit]The album version of "Baby's on Fire" is 5 minutes 19 seconds long.[5] The song begins with a tense high-hat and bass line, along several different kinds of electronic sounds. Eno's vocals enter after this, being described as "nasal" and "slightly snotty".[6] Following this first section of lyrics there is a 2 minute, 59 second guitar solo by Robert Fripp with shifting drum beats as backing; Eno's vocal returns as the song ends.[6]
Release and reception[SIZE=small][[/SIZE]edit]"Baby's on Fire" has received positive reviews from critics, mainly noting the guitar solo. Douglas Wolk of Blender described the song as "a two-note wonder built around an all-hell-breaks-loose guitar meltdown by King Crimson’s Robert Fripp",[7] while Chris Ott of Pitchfork Media called the track "earth-shattering".[8] "Baby's on Fire" was featured prominently in the 1998 film Velvet Goldmine.,[9] with vocals provided by the film's star, Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

The track was produced by Eno, who handled production and mixing duties on the bulk of the album's recording, and was created with musicians Simon King, Marty Simon, Robert Fripp, Paul Rudolph, and John Wetton.[1] The song is a bizarre fantasy about a photography session involving a burning infant and unthinking, laughing onlookers.[2]
Live recordings of the song have appeared on various Eno recordings, the first being June 1, 1974, performed with Kevin Ayers, John Cale, Ollie Halsall and Eddie Sparrow.[3] Eno spoke positively about this performance, saying, "The instruments were incredibly out of tune, so out of tune you wouldn’t believe it. But it sounds fantastic. There’s one little bit in it where there’s a riff between the guitar and one of the bassists, and they’re so out of tune it sounds like cellos. Amazing! I mean if you tried to make that sound in the studio it would have taken you ages. You wouldn’t have thought of making it, in fact, it’s such a bizarre sound. And the piano and guitar are quite well out of tune as well. Ha!"[4]
Musical composition[SIZE=small][[/SIZE]edit]The album version of "Baby's on Fire" is 5 minutes 19 seconds long.[5] The song begins with a tense high-hat and bass line, along several different kinds of electronic sounds. Eno's vocals enter after this, being described as "nasal" and "slightly snotty".[6] Following this first section of lyrics there is a 2 minute, 59 second guitar solo by Robert Fripp with shifting drum beats as backing; Eno's vocal returns as the song ends.[6]
Release and reception[SIZE=small][[/SIZE]edit]"Baby's on Fire" has received positive reviews from critics, mainly noting the guitar solo. Douglas Wolk of Blender described the song as "a two-note wonder built around an all-hell-breaks-loose guitar meltdown by King Crimson’s Robert Fripp",[7] while Chris Ott of Pitchfork Media called the track "earth-shattering".[8] "Baby's on Fire" was featured prominently in the 1998 film Velvet Goldmine.,[9] with vocals provided by the film's star, Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
