I’ve seen him live a few times. Such an experience.

I did listen to one of his live performances on YouTube.

It was definitely an experience, probably one of my favourite performances from him.

There were some really good/good new entries for me in this last batch (as you can tell by my personal rankings,) but there were a lot of godawful Albums too.

I mean what was up with Bad Omens and Sleep Token in particular?

I'm trying not to be too mean about the Albums, but they were excruciatingly bad imo, it felt like TikTok brainrot, AI technology, and Whoever wrote Cleaner all merged together and these two Albums were born out of it.

Wow that shows dedication to the cause !!

I would struggle to list a top ten of my favourite songs

Tbh I would struggle on that a lot more too.

Because my favourite individual song could be on a more average Album overall for my personal taste.

Plus I wouldn't even know what my favourite song is, as it changes every day.

A couple more suggestions from me:

* Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morissette
* Funeral - Arcade Fire
* Silent Alarm - Bloc Party

Wow !!

You sure put the time in !


As regards that Kacey Musgrove album.. I rate her latest two albums far higher

Golden Hour from a few years ago and the latest one last year

Have you heard either ?

They've all got my curiosity.

I have got to eventually check out the Album that has Space Cowboy on it.

I really like that song.

I do like her first Album though tbf.

I've only listened to her first Album fully so far.

She won the Country Music Album of the Year for this album Golden Hour - apparently only the second woman apart from Dolly Parton to achieve that honour !!

Then when she released the follow up album last year it was apparently refused entry into the Country Album of Year competition as they deemed it to be more like pop music than country …

The male dominated country music industry circled their wagons to keep her out



Get me .. defending women’s rights LOL

Isn't this the same Country scene that said that Beyonce had the best Country Album last year?

And there's a first time for everything Zizu.

We'll know something's wrong if LT starts defending the Trans community.
