Up to Khan's playlist today.
admittedly i did go for more of a thematic order than what would sound good. thanks.Shows you how much I know.
Good thing you had a lot of killer songs!
Wow, Cassie. Really enjoying this so far.
Ok, so work got in the way a bit today. I'm still in the middle of this playlist.
My favorite stretch was from Nas all the way to The Roots. That section was just gold. I particularly liked Missing Link, which I didn't know, and the twofer of Express Yourself and Ham 'N' Eggs was vintage hip hop that I hadn't heard in a long time.
Bono would be proud too.
1B1L. Wow. I don't have a whole lot to say about your list other than it's simply not my thing overall. A lot of it really, really ran together for me, so I suppose that makes the flow good. But... well... it wasn't for me. Nothing really stood out massively as something I'd really want to go check out. I feel bad for saying that, but it's how I feel. I simply didn't care for it!
Don’t like it? Well, like P.O.S. says, “we make our own and if they don’t feel it/Then we are not for them (and that’s cool).”
Just finished Cassie's - I enjoyed it a lot for sure. Obviously it isn't particularly diverse, but there's still arguably as much variety as any list that consists solely of rock. I enjoyed the first half more than the second by a fair margin, though, and that includes having listening to them in separate periods. However there weren't any bad songs, just some were a fair bit better than others. I did notice a few artist overlaps too, which was a shame - after all, BPM doesn't mean "Black Person Music".
Overall though, it was a lot of fun and though the odds are against it, I hope to see it go far in the comp.
I did it because I like a massive variety of music, which most people here know, but hip-hop was also the first genre I truly fell in love with, and for that reason, it will always hold a very special place in my heart. Because it's generally a genre that's denigrated for myriad reasons, I also feel like somebody's got to defend it and show off the incredibly talented artists outside of the mainstream or on the edges of the mainstream who don't fit into the stereotypical "rap" mold.
Word, brother.
Should've known that if somebody'd be on my side, it'd be the Basterd.
well you know i'm firmly on your side.
Ian (again). I liked parts of the second half a lot, and I didn't care for parts of the second half a lot. More divisive than the first half with less in the middle, I'd say. Loved The Flaming Lips, Elbow, Sparklehorse, Doves, and Radiohead. Also, Your Blue Room is one of my favourite U2 moments from the 90s. Especially that guitar at the end. Melts me. Anyway, Wilco wasn't bad, nor was Air France. The rest... meh. You know, I don't like REM, didn't care for Pavement or Massive Attack at all. Nor Bowie for that matter.
thanks. i knew it'd be pretty impossible for everyone to like every track, so i'm just glad people can at least take some good out of it!
Alright, Joey, I listened to Part B. I really enjoy this part compared to Part A. Some of the standout songs for me were: "Torture Me," "Dumb," "The Book of Love," "My Body is a Cage," "St. Vincent," and "Don't Panic." "Nude" and "Bad" were nice too. But some songs put a very bad taste in my mouth, "NYC" and "Windowpane." I have heard many songs from Interpol trying to become a fan of theirs but it hasn't happened yet. "Windowpane" was just bizzare to me. And I prefer old Alice in Chains over contemporay.
So overall, I liked Part B. to Part A. I was crazy about a lot of songs from your playlist but I disliked many songs on your playlist too. I can see many people digging this type of music you put on your playlist. But I am sorry, there were too many songs I didn't like to properly enjoy this playlist the way I really wanted to.
