Clorox Bleachman 2,410 Posted April 12 @En Passant okay, challenge accepted. Spoiler "Sheeran" I'm not a fan but he occasionally puts out decent songs. "Swift" I too ignored her until her surprise albums in 2020, which surprised me. I've since discovered her music has a lot of variety in both topics and production, much of it being excellent, and she's at the top of her game right now. "your latest boy band" Yeah, can't help you there. How about a girl band? "K-pop" This isn't an area I'm too familiar with, because so much music comes out of South Korea. There are some gems though: "a decent rap" Well I think that's a shame. Some of the best production in modern music is in Hip-Hop. It might be hard to convince you, but this is a small handful of songs I like: Other new songs you may connect with: You can take it or leave it. I won't be offended if you think 90% of them are pish (okay, I will slightly). I felt the need to put forth the case for my generation. It's not better or worse, just different. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheeran's music is practically all nut brown piss to the eardrum imo, as, I'm sad to say, is Beyoncé of late. Lots of good there though, and certainly enough variety to put to bed the old trope that "it all sounds the same nowadays". Fucking doesn't, even if the charts occasionally tell a different story. Spoiler The 90s is still broadly the best era though and no sod ever has a chance of convincing me otherwise 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I downloaded Cowboy Carter before my recent trip and listened to it on every long train journey. Even if it's not all to my taste, I love a good sprawling album with hundreds of ideas that are all pulled together somehow. Sheeran's new music doesn't make me think in the same way.

Well, it wasn't quite a challenge, but fair play @Clorox Bleachman I accept that whilst I haven't much liked what I have heard, decrying what I haven't is grossly unfair. You'll need to give me a week though, as if I'm going to do it I won't cheat, it's a reasonably long list and I need to be in the frame of mind to treat it fairly, also a bit busy for a few days. But I'll get to it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
time 8,595 Posted April 18 I suppose it might have crossed my mind subconsciously that the News at Ten theme was from a longer piece, but until reading the Diana Edwards-ones obit did I know what it was called - its The Awakening, by Johnny Pearson, and is of course on YouTube. The actual News at Ten bit is about a minute from the end. Anyone who's ever watched News at Ten will be adding their own 'bong' at the appropriate point. Guaranteed!

The Immortal 634 Posted June 19 I'm slowly getting into my wife's taste in European (mainly Nordic) rock and metal singers and bands. Her favorites ranging from well known ones like Nightwish, Nena, Sabaton to more obscure ones like Hel, Amon Amarth and Kerli. I quite like this song by Hel, Den feges lögn.

wannamaker 1,407 Posted July 28 I've had some very tough last few days. Had to say goodbye to 2 friends for different reasons; one is going to live abroad and the other sadly passed away. This lovely song is giving me some strength at this moment. 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know the meaning behind the song, but it's a nice little tune. My condolences for you about loss of your friend. Just know that your friend abroad will still be able to be in touch with you and depending where they went, you can travel to see them. If you wanna chat in private about anything you can (or vent about life). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
