There's a few gems out there still but you just don't see this sort of coherent, cultural impact anymore from entire albums. Most newer artists are more famous for the celebrity than their music and when they release an album it's 90% filler with a catchy single or two. And beyond that all the distinct pockets and scenes have just dispersed into homogeny. Can't think of a time when that many great albums launched in a such a small period of time.
I don't know. Maybe the drugs were not so strong back then, so listeners and artists could still focus up a little.

I'll never forgive myself for having had the chance to go watch them in Argentina and giving up on it
I saw them 3 times. Always gave a kick ass 2 hour + show.
Even in 1983 in front of a half empty arena 😁
True professionals.

The first Tortured Poet's Department album is phenomenal. The second one is pointless and drab. She should have just put Black Dog on the one album and left it at that.

Also, playing Taylor alongside Pearl Jam works extremely well, for some reason.

The only song I like off of the new Pearl Jam album. A cool simple bass riff and that solo at the end sold me.



Man it really sucks how much Ive fallen off of this band. They were easily one of my all time favorites all through HS and some college and Id still see them live if they ever came back down here, but man, I really havent enjoyed anything of theirs since Yield.

Always loved Steven Wilson's prog rock career. I Love this synth track. A good pair of headphones with noise cancelling while traveling in a bus, feels ethereal.

My fantasy is that my girlfriend was actually a young high school girl.


It's a cutsey song, but who thought this was a good idea?

Peak Thall. I love dissonant guitars. The guitarist said in an interview that he was inspired by Omar Rodriguez Lopez from the Mars Volta which I guess I kind of get it now with the chromatic sound, but widely different genres.
