The Stone Roses are massively overrated.

Not sure if this applies, but the first time I heard Britney Spears on the radio I thought she was black. I think "Baby One More Time" was a radio song that was surfacing around on pop and R&B stations before the video came out. When I saw it for the first time I might have even thought where is she before realizing it was being sung by the blonde mouthing the words.
I don't get Ghost at all. Like, there are a few songs that I enjoy but they sound like the Scorpions and look like Dimmu Borgir. How do fans reconcile this difference? Are they that much different live or something? And I mean actually live, like at the show where you feel the music.
Years back somebody made me listen to some of Britney's earlier recordings: singing in talent shows as a kid as well as some demos. She has a much bigger voice than I had heard in her songs on the radio with a far darker tone and it's quite nice.
Allegedly the sorta baby-voice styling she has done on most of her recordings is something her team insisted on because they thought it was more commercially accessible. Which obviously, they were correct. But I still prefer her darker tone in the earlier recordings and makes me wonder what she would have sounded like if she continued to perform/train with that tone in mind rather than the brighter tone she is more known for.
My husband asked me about Bon Iver because they were mentioned in a comic he read as having put 2 pilots into a coma
so I asked Alexa to put 22 a million on our Sonos speakers and my God what a load of boring shit - this stuff got a 9 on Pitchfork which confirms my belief that some ‘hype’ bands pay for positive reviews - the only explanation for this
Bon Iver is talented but such boring dreck, I don't wanna listen to him. Quite the quandary.
Trivium has become a guilty pleasure this week....

Yeah, The B-52's were legitimately unconventional (not unlike Devo) in their early days. Granted, they were less interesting artistically by the time they actually had hits, but yeah. Cool band.
They put out a reunion album in 2008. Haven't listened to it in forever, but it was good.
The Smashing Pumpkins circa 2012 were better than the current lineup. Oceania was their best post-90's album, that lineup had more fire in the belly than the reunited band of today and the live show was better too, more exciting. Not saying the 2012 lineup was better than the SP of the 90's, just better than the band is right now.

Don't know where else to post this, thought I'd share. This was, interesting.
Billie Eilish is an industry plant who had an unfair advantage. She never paid her dues like Trent and Lady Gaga did. Her family lives in LA, her brother's a music producer and both of her parents are musicians.
The ~$20 “taxes and fees” upcharge for a $100 ticket honestly never really bothered me- probably because I’m so used to it by now. And bitch about TM all we want but the website is laid out really well and outside of not being able to secure “in demand” tickets the site/server never crashed or necessarily fucked me over to the point where I hated the experience like some of the smaller ticket places I attempt to purchase at. AXS for example, where who knows WTF algorithm they use for “best seats available” is. Anyways, it’s not so much about the fees but places like StubHub (and later TM for “verifier resale”) that can LEGALLY have hundreds of tickets up for sale prior to any other sale. Discuss(?):

I figured that it could've easily fit into the actual Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles thread, since it counts something released for home video, with the actual video being played and not just the music itself.

As for me, I'm always just a sucker for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and 1990s nostalgia so I don't mind at all even in spite of how they looked and sounded, especially considering how it was aimed to the much younger fans at the time. (As I'm also considering the fans that grew up the franchise since 1984.)
Not to mention, I really do like the song Pizza Power.

I'll just leave this here:
Ahhhh Throwdown. Such dumb sxe content. We can, and have, done better.

I haven't enjoyed a single song of theirs I've heard.
Their on-stage antics of cumming/pissing all over everything and anal sex is gross. It's fake as hell, sure. It just comes across as immature to me. Reminds me of GG Allin, which is a huge fucking turn-off.
