Some long winded catching up babbling. I lost track of who I have called out and feel I am getting behind in listening and posting about the playlists. I've liked this playlist the best of the 3 as far as flow, so I have been listening to them more than I did the others. I just feel myself now forming more opinions on the artists and looking forward to diving into their playlists and albums. Unlike the last 2 MADs, even the artists that I am a little hit and miss with it's not a strong like/dislike it's a like/don't like as much but it's interesting. I am looking forward to all the playlists and there aren't going to be any easy adds when I do the silly KP 5s and pick the 5 for the playlist.
Blue October is a bit of a hit and miss. I really liked Shut Up... on the last playlist, and also have highlighted a couple others. When he gets angry and yelling is where I fall off, but I still like the music behind it so it's not a skip or anything.
Fanny is still one of the artists who are hitting 100% or at least 90%. In this tier is a bunch of others:
Belle and Sebastian,
Mitzski,
Mayfield,
Strand of Oaks,
Priest, The Doors,
EWF, and
April Wine, and DMB. I probably will talk the least about these bands in posts until I do listen at the end.
The next tier are the ones where there has been a song I don't like or a style in a song I was unsure about. Here would be
Moody Blues (one of the first tunes I was unsure about),
Sweet (I really dislike that Little Willy song).
The Cure ( I sense I will really prefer certain eras here), and
STP (similar to Cure for the reason).
My biggest surprises are
Chesney,
Setzer, and
Jerry Jeff. Not my wheelhouse, but I already know it's going to be hard to pick 5 of any of these as well and we have barely begun.
Everybody else listed I am still loving most of the tunes, but I either need a specific artist listen to separate them from another artist or I can tell I am going to like certain albums more than others either for style of music or too many covers.
Anyway, random musings on songs from the last couple playlists:
The Only Heartbreaker was awesome, and I listened to that several times.
Right on for the Darkness got a similar reaction, especially the first 2/3rds of the song.
Thinkin' Bout is great. Love the way the other singer's voice blends in too, then the guitars kicked in.
I forgot to look up the years, but
Rock 'N' Roll Children gave me vibes of Ozzy's Shot in the Dark big time.
I've been annoying my daughter all afternoon singing "
For a price of a cup of tea". That song is infectious.
Naked Sunday feels like the Chili Peppers hijacked STP for a song. I forgot how damn funky that song and the bass is.
I loved
Silent Treatment and the other Bangles tune in the last playlist.
If I wasn't singing Belle and Sebastian this afternoon, it was probably "
cue synthesizer".
I am glad
@Yo Mama was wrong. At least I think he was.
