Gojira 5. Run the Jewels I was really surprised Pink Floyd and Talking Heads weren't on there. 4 of the top 5 songs were from my 5 year old's playlist, but I guess we listened to a lot less Frozen OST this year, as We Will Rock You, HandClap, Jump were on there instead. Meet Me In the Woods was the only one of my songs in the top 5. I was at 27,000 hours and somehow discovered 247 new artists (I assume mostly due to music drafts??) and listened to 371 genres (how is that possible?) I am proud! The Beatles didn’t make my list. My top five artists were: 1. Paul McCartney 2. George Harrison 3. Wings 4. John Lennon 5. Ringo Starr Top five songs were: 1. Calico Skies - Paul 2. Little Lamb Dragonfly - Wings 3. Souvenir - Paul 4. That Day Is Done - Paul (and Elvis Costello) 5. Put It There - Paul I was in the top 0.0015% of Paul listeners for the year. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Octopus Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 7 minutes ago, rockaction said: I hear a song that could have been Blondie's here. I'm probably sucked into a place, time, similarity/dissimilar vortex here, but I hear Debbie Harry's influence in this. Or is that the other way around? 🤔 eta* My YouTuve algorithm, seeing as how we're discussing algos, skipped directly to Television's "See No Evil" as the next song, with the whole of Marquee Moon in tow. Not a bad 1-2 punch. They were contemporaries so maybe it was mutual influence. That song is one of her more mainstream songs however while Blondie rarely strayed from that formula. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pip's Invitation Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 21 minutes ago, rockaction said: I'm not getting a top five either, and I have Premium. I am getting a missed hits of 2020 list, which are songs that I have been pegged by the algorithm to like. I got this as well. 1. I Saw the Light -- Todd Rundgren. I have listened to this a ton over the course of my life, just not on Spotify, I guess. 2. Instant Karma (We All Shine On) -- John Lennon. Ditto. 3. Baby Blue -- Badfinger. I did in fact discover this song this year -- on Youtube. And it does fit in very well with my tastes. 4. You Can't Rule Me -- Lucinda Williams and 5. This Forgotten Town -- The Jayhawks. So it thinks I like alt country. Which is not wrong but it's not an obsession. I never cared for the Jayhawks' vocals, too twangy and screechy for me. I like what I've heard from Lucinda but I have never felt compelled to dig deeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it sounded mainstream, but the "Till Victory" title sounds a little more Patti Smith underground leaning than Blondie, who found love and life to be no battlefield, just effortless cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pip's Invitation Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 52 minutes ago, Pip's Invitation said: I'm not getting a top 5 artists list. Maybe because I don't spring for premium or maybe because I "only" had 3,704 minutes. I do most of my listening on Youtube. ETA: Or maybe because I don't have the app. Top 5 songs: Jackie Blue -- The Ozark Mountain Daredevils Earthquake Weather -- Beck Out of the Blue -- Elton John Race for the Prize -- The Flaming Lips Dream Weaver -- Gary Wright For those keeping score, that's two songs I drafted in the jukebox draft, one song that was in my 1975 countdown and is on one of the GP playlists I control, one song is on one of the GP playlists I control, and one song that has nothing to do with any of that. A friend recommended Elton John's Blue Moves, and I listened to it and loved most of it. Out of the Blue, which is from that, is basically a jazz-fusion instrumental and fascinates me because it's nothing like anything else I've heard from Elton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilov80s Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) My number one song is embarrassing and basic as hell. The Box by Roddy Rich. There’s a couple factors there. Before COVID, the kids in my algebra group preferred the box method for multiplying polynomials so I would regularly play the start of that song when we were practicing that. It was also the first song on the playlist I used for working out all year so it gets a lot of play that way. But yeah, flame away lol.

It was the "On Record" portion of the Spotify year-end. It takes songs you like and have listened to a lot and matches it up with a podcast regarding that band or song. The reason I said it better reflected my tastes is because it actually does match my emotional temperature more than their other algorithms or measurements.

X is also legit. The skinhead at the beginning that was once Limp Ditka's avatar is emblematic of the crowds that hardcore drew in L.A. in the early 80s. Which the movie is really focused on rather than the art scene aspect of it all.

And the focus on Gazzari's makes one think of an old gay man around young gay men. It's definitely a pimp/prostitute undertone when they interview him or his bands. And the Gazzari girls.

The letter about dumping nuke waste into the ocean or not really caring if species die off. The anger towards the hippys is also very interesting. One generations counter culture lashing out at the previous. So much anger and hard drugs. It’s just such a different time from when I grew up/now and the punk music I listened to (though I never considered myself punk or part of the scene despite going to a lot of concerts). X is pretty normal relatively speaking, particularly Exene. Edited December 2, 2020 by Ilov80s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
