Yeah I still don't get that at all. I hated sitting with friends and having to wait my turn to play a video game so it's hard for me to imagine just voluntarily choosing to only watch. Then the unboxing videos, like who cares? If you want to see it , just FF through the video to see the end but why are watching this kid opening up a million pieces of some toy and making it? That stuff has not clicked me with me at all.
My guess knowing her about the video game thing - it's because it's hard and frustrating when you are starting out or just not coordinated for video games. More enjoyable for her (I'd guess most kids) to mindlessly watch people be awesome at a game than spend 30mins trying to clear one level like I did. I don't turn into grumpy "back in my day" old Dad often, but that is one.
I am sure there are logical psychological explanations but since I don't have kids, I haven't really investigated. I do believe even the most maladaptive and destructive behaviors have a logical and biological root to them. So surely watching someone else play with a toy does as well.
I haven't either, just theorizing after watching my kids and friends . I mean, as soon as those "cheat" guides started coming out, I would use those to get through stuff fast. I was largely doing the same - path of least resistance and all.
Overall not sure as I don't hang around the kids much. I know of one girl for sure who has problems staying focused on stuff and has had to do summer school at least the last 4 yearsHonest question - how is their attention span??Most of my friends kids don't even watch TV shows or series any more, just you tube and tik tok clipsOh yeah I can only imagine. Is what they watch or how much they watch or both?
Spoken like a couple of blokes without children.
I like Youtube for myself, I HATE it as a parent.
Yes.Oh yeah I can only imagine. Is what they watch or how much they watch or both?

Mostly what drives me nuts is the obsession with watching other people play video games or play with toys. It is ****in' bananas.

2. It's different because I say it is.
3. Watch about 10mins of these dumb people playing with doll videos my daughter was watching and you will be tapping out and begging for The Muppets. It was by far the worse offender of the two. 100% I would have watched the VG videos as a kid.
SHUKEY ... the joke are that Moroder wrote and produced "Call Me", of American Gigolo fame ... one of her bigger hits.
I MADE A FUNNY
does anybody remember laughter? (vomits)
It depends. Chiefs vs Lions, yeah that is going to be good. I might take the video of lil DeeJay painting his model car over a Panthers-Bucs game though.I need to put down the pipe, now I am not sure if you are busting balls or actually don't see the difference of Youtube vs other stuff.
Oh, I have that time. I think I said it before, but I do like and listen to a bit of Daft Punk (or at least I thought I did). There have been a couple surprises from you that I haven't heard before, and that is probably a function of not listening to full albums from them.

Something I love and think at least one other person might as well?
Do I like them, and do they have 31 songs that I have something to say about?
I want something from Michigan, which doesn't actually narrow it down too much. That might be my only filter I've decided on so far. I like your very open approach though- can't please everyone.
I don't know, but it's definitely not anything I'm gonna think about til after spinning the #1's.
I noticed this as well. I’m down with whatever @higgins did here. He mentioned he was tight on time. I’d have left Freewill off personally, as well as Closer to the Heart and La Villa Strangiato. I saw YYZ appear, so that means no Red Barchetta or 2112. Did Natural Science show up? Sorry I lost track, life happens and all. Thanks to @higgins for a solid list no matter what. There’s a lot to choose from, and the stuff from Signals through Counterparts that got included was highly enjoyable.The unveiling of Freewill as Higgins' #3 Rush song means that at least one of 2112, YYZ or Red Barchetta will not be in his top 31, to which I can only say
But what do I know. My top 31 Rush is likely to contain 8 songs that don't appear in Higgins' top 31 OR in Ghost Rider's top 50.
Nope, but I can't think of anything offhand that at least one of us wouldn't dig, so that's not a worry either. I think like Pip said - in the end probably take something that puts enough of a fire in your gut to listen to and talk about for a couple months straight.
I was kicking a few ideas around, and then Spotify sent me a playlist of one of my options. So I guess I let Spotify choose for me.
This is my #1 Doves tune. Great one!
Doves landrys hat There Goes the Fear
Ya know what was pretty awesome? Seeing Clarence's nephew taking the sax on the first tour after his death then immediately after 'the big man joined the band' line the lights went down followed by a 3 minute montage then when the house lights flipped back on Jake took the lead and went wild.

So the link I included was naturally a live version of this because the album cut doesn't come close to doing it justice. This one is of course a ridiculous showstopper. He even opened up the Super Bowl with it -- and in this version he doesn't even start the song after the long intro for several minutes with the audience cheering "Ohh-oh-ohhhhh" along with him. He often calls it the story of the band, and in a way he's right, even though there are only two or three lines that really reference it:
Well a change was made uptown
And the Big Man joined the band
From the coastline to the city
The little pretties raise their hands
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
When the Scooter and the Big Man
Bust this city in half...
He has a lot of great live songs. This is sublime. One of the best ones.
Natural Science has not shown up on Higgins' list.I noticed this as well. I’m down with whatever @higgins did here. He mentioned he was tight on time.

Maybe I shouldn’t be allowed to submit a new list. I haven’t participated in at least 15 rounds lol.
jwb didn't put his list in order of preference to begin with, and then he Binky'd himself and put his #31 as #1, etc., when inputting his list. So we really can't read anything into what on his list appears where.
There were about 4 different genres of music in this song.

Lyrics of this song were inspired by the character for Hood dairy products. So the question begs, where does he go when the light goes out (when the fridge door closes).
I love the jamming and Trey's long note holds during the peak.
I would be remiss not to share video of "the Harry Hood kid", famous within the community for being caught on video enjoying the peak.
That was my criteria. It's why I didn't try to pick Queen. I know all that material. And why I did pick Slade. There was a bunch I hadn't heard. I got to learn stuff too.
Please consider still submitting a list if you have time for that. Posting about each selection and listening to each playlist is not mandatory, and the more music the better.

Hold On Tight

I like a lot of ELO and most every song you have posted. Not sure why, but I had forgotten about this gem.Hold On Tight
For ELO, even though my list was mostly random, the last two songs were puposely placed. I meant them to lead off the list with the earliest then the latest (which kind of gives away the #1), but I put my list in backwards, so here they are at the end.
Hold on Tight wraps up the Time album, and is their last top 10 hit. It's as far as I went for my 31 as well - the next two albums are "meh" at best. But this is a great song, and takes their sound a little backwards - I could see this song exisiting in some form on some of their earlier albums. It has staying power too - I recently heard it on a commercial, and it certainly sticks in your head. I enjoyed it the first time I heard it, and I still like it a lot today.
Iv'e also had this issue with THS (and a couple other bands in this countdown) Havent' listened to the 2's yet so looking forward to this one.
I listened to every playlist but only commented on about 70% of them--just didn't always have the time. And I didn't comment hardly at all about the songs I listed. I'm not very good at that sort of thing and it would quickly become very repetitive. If I have a personal story related to a certain song I might discuss it a bit but otherwise I just let the song speak for itself. To each their own.
#2 Back in Black (Back In Black)
This was a monster hit and cemented AC/DC as one of the biggest rock and roll acts in history. Unlike You Shook Me All Night Long, I have not got tired of hearing this one. If Brian wrote these lyrics he must have been guided by Bon’s spirit.
It is to me. My favorite waffles between this and "Highway To Hell" (I know "chalk" is boring around here, but kiss my pasty white butt). This thing is funky, nasty, lean, mean, and melts faces.#2 Back in Black (Back In Black)

It's an absolute killer of a song. It's one of their best tracks without a doubt.
colors.
