- There's lots of good stuff. It's just not "pop" - spamlet Jul 11, 08:35 2
  - The "indie pop" stuff is something I tend to enjoy. Foster the People type stuff. - con_carne Jul 11, 08:41
  - same here. I hated pop back then too. -- nm - Reagen Jul 11, 08:39

  - I hate hate hate the state of rock music though. -- nm - ty97 Jul 11, 08:35

      - ? -- nm - Epiphany Jul 11, 08:42 1
        
        It would have been really weird, and when it was presented to me - groiny Jul 11, 08:46
- The other thing I've thought about a lot lately is whether I'd tell 15-year-old me "Don't move to Texas, stay in New York" - ty97 Jul 11, 08:31
- also, buy AAPL. -- nm - znufrii Jul 11, 08:28 2

  - Also: less Tori Amos, no one will remember her music. -- nm - ty97 Jul 11, 08:24 15
    - She's not relevant but I'd be surprised if her place in pop music isn't secured... - Mel Profit Jul 11, 08:29 14
      - I'm actually surprised that so many STers could not name her songs, knowing this group's tastes. - ty97 Jul 11, 08:32 10
        
        I know her stuff, owned her CD, played it (mainly to get laid). -- nm - Spawn Jul 11, 08:35
        
        I wonder if she gets a phase - ? - Mel Profit Jul 11, 08:35 8

    - probably to hold onto every penny he makes -- nm - Epiphany Jul 11, 08:31 3
      - actually, I saw him interviewed recently and he did not burn through his money at all. Yes, he bought cars and crap but also invested, and now. ... - zork Jul 11, 08:47 1
        
        Hmmm - not sure if I believe ole Rob - but...regardless he seems to have his shit together these days. good on him -- nm - Epiphany Jul 11, 08:50
