[Birds in Hell]

Sometimes I think they might be my favorite band

Mine too.

I don't think I know a single the Cure song

I can think of a great way to change that!

If anyone's about not being familiar with the band, I've made a Spotify playlist for this round if that helps.

More than any other artist, Alanis Morissette has changed my life and made me check in and evaluate myself. She's a treasure.

[bodysnatcher]

wow, that is a sentence i never thought i'd read in my life

[epilogue]

The most underrated artist in Pop Music history.

[VinylGuy]

I dont think i listened to another full album of her besides Jagged Little Pill. That one is a masterpiece.

[PHATJ]

Jagged Little Pill is good, even if it isn’t really my cup of tea. I only know a couple other Alanis songs.

I was listening to Alonzo Bodden the other day talk about jazz and he said something interesting, basically that it takes awhile to figure out what the musicians are trying to tell him in the music. It made me look at music in general in a different light, in that sometimes songs I don't care for eventually come around for me in a weird way. Also those times when a song hits me just right and I can pull little grooves and bits out of the song as the reason I like it so much.

Also I've been trying to get into jazz lately so I totally understand where he's coming from here. Listening to Miles Davis and it's like...I get it, but it's also weird and atonal to a my ear at times.

on the other hand I also got the Yes box set with their early albums in it for free so I've been diving into that stuff. It's hard to dive into an artist with such a large catalog, especially when you have literally three or four songs of knowledge and those span decades.

Someone told me that if I liked Zeppelin, I had to check out Gretta Van Sleet. They were wrong.

i really can't stand anything by Dan Bejar

[chuck taylor]

I actually just caught a couple Alanis songs on shuffle the other day while running and was thinking about how little they had aged.

Gary Clark Jr. and The Black Keys are Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake of American microbreweries.

I never need to hear "Bright Lights" or anything from Dan Auerbach ever again.

Merriweather post pavilion was 9 years old yesterday.
I think that album is timeless and from a different dimension outside time and space.

We had a huge thread on it on the old rm if I remember correctly

I hate Merriweather Post Pavillion so much

[Norris]

Someone told me that if I liked Zeppelin, I had to check out Gretta Van Sleet. They were wrong.

Someone told me the exact some thing and I had the exact same reaction.

[Jorge]

Heaven Or Las Vegas is a perfect album

[Kevin Davis]

Greta Van Fleet can suck it

[bodysnatcher]

I hate Merriweather Post Pavillion so much

Same.
I hate Animal Collective so much.

I've had this driving bass pattern stuck in my head for weeks, certain that it was from a mid-90's Yo La Tengo album. I've been making myself crazy listening to deep cuts and trying to find it when I finally remembered that it was "Olv 26" by Stereolab.

I hadn't listened to Stereolab in years, but that song has just been swirling around in my brain. Funny how music works.
