For a Young, you're going to be an Old very quickly. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 08:59
For me, Billy Joel, Elton John, Bob Dylan -- nm - Roger More Mar 6, 08:55 31
- But those, at least, you can probably understand why? Unlike Garth Brooks. I still have no idea why he was a thing, let-alone as large as he was. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 08:59 28
  - Not really, I don't like their voices. I like Elton John songs when they're covered by other people. - Roger More Mar 6, 09:08 2
    - I find them unbearably saccharine. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 09:10 1
      - Well that too. But they also taught me that Saturday night is all right for fighting. -- nm - Roger More Mar 6, 09:14
  - he was the first big country/pop/rock guy that blew the old school off the radio. I was doing country radio when that happened and man it was like a - Remlik Mar 6, 09:03
  - Dylan is another I have no idea why the hell he's famous -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 6, 09:01 14
    - he had a string of 3 or 4 superb albums in the 60s then went downhill fast -- nm - mud Mar 6, 09:09 2
      - let me guess...when he went electric? -- nm - Remlik Mar 6, 09:10 1
        
        no, after Blonde On Blonde -- nm - mud Mar 6, 09:11
    - The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind. - Spawn Mar 6, 09:05
    - agreed -- nm - Epiphany, I voted! Mar 6, 09:02
    - he writes good songs, he just can't sing them -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:02 8
      - What? I really enjoyed that song of his, what was it called ... - Beryllium Mar 6, 09:10 2
        
        I have only a few songs of his on my Spotify playlist - groiny Mar 6, 09:13 1
        
        I like Hurricane and Gotta Serve Somebody, in addition to some on your list. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 09:24
      - Saw him a few years ago, and it was painful to watch. It was when he was going through a “let’s reinterpret every song in my catalog” phase - znufrii Mar 6, 09:09 1
        
        it is telling that all these other artists had great success singing his songs. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:10
      - I'm no big fan of him, but his Wilbury stuff is fun and his tour when he had Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as his backing band was stellar. -- nm - Remlik Mar 6, 09:04 2
        
        Yeah, his collaborations are all I can stand, but they are good. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 09:06
        
        Time's are a Changin is an excellent song, but his voice is tough to listen to for more than 6 minutes at a time -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:06
  - his music was fun. He was charismatic -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:00 8
    - The first, maybe? But that last line is pretty much the opposite of him. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 09:01 7
      - He was energetic, he was bold; he took big chances with his early music...and he put on unrivaled shows for his genre. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 6, 09:02 5
        
        He will always be the villain from Darkman, to me. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 09:10
        
        iirc, The Thunder Rolls basically made CMT a thing and propelled country into the mainstream. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 09:04 3
        
        He put out The Dance which is an all-time great song; and then the Thunder Rolls video gave him massive press since no country station would show it. - Will Hunting Mar 6, 09:07 1
        
        And that version didn't even include the last verse. -- nm - ty97 Mar 6, 09:12
        
        yeah, every country artist today should send him a check. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:05
      - you are not really his target audience, despite where you live. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:01
- None of those were very good frontwomen -- nm - prayformojo Mar 6, 08:58 1
  - Elton is half way there. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 08:59
DMB for sure. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 08:51 1
- Their first album was okay. And then they... became DMB. And only had one or two more songs worth listening to. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 08:52
Pretty sure those that like EDM are not a majority of people. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 08:51 9
- EDM? -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 08:55 5
  - Electronic Dance Music. - MDH Mar 6, 08:56 3
    - so, does Zedd qualify as EDM? -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 08:59 2
      - Yes. He's one of the better ones to be honest. -- nm - MDH Mar 6, 09:09 1
        
        yeah, Clarity is one of my favorites from the last handful of years. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 09:11
  - heh -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 08:55
- The death of EDM was so fast I'm almost want to check in on those people. -- nm - MDH Mar 6, 08:53 2
  - Thanks Chainsmokers. -- nm - Qale Mar 6, 09:03 1
    - They certainly helped kill it. -- nm - MDH Mar 6, 09:08
Basically, anyone who does not wear shiny pants. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 08:51 2
- I grew up on rap, and love the 80s/90s stuff, even the rap/pop of early 00s. -- nm - MDH Mar 6, 08:53
- No, ST is anti-pants. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 08:51
