Responses:

Quite a few bands that I know, but not the song. Dressed to Kill is on The Twenty currently. Wild Child will likely make my own list. -- nm - Qale Dec 10, 08:11

It’s staggering just how much music is out there. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 10, 07:11 13
- the streaming era has its pluses and minuses - mostly minuses for the most popular stuff - but as way to have THE ENTIRE CATALOGUE of all music - Reagen Dec 10, 07:15 12
  - minuses: the artists rarely see a dime of it -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 10, 07:28 2
    - pluses: without it, some artists would never be ever heard from at all. -- nm - Qale Dec 10, 08:12
    - One of the reasons I stick with Tidal is because they're better for this. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 07:30
  - It’s just nuts. I collect records. I’m in record shops all the time. Ringer’s 33 best albums of the year? I have one. I’ve heard of two. -- (link) - Volnelk Dec 10, 07:25 8
    - There’s a distinct streak of hipsterism in music criticism. If it’s popular, it sucks, but in a few cases something is so popular then it works it’s way back around to good. -- (edited) - Tim Dec 10, 08:37 2
      - I remember reading a review of a Metric album where the main thrust was that they thought Emily would be annoying to talk to at a party. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 08:49
      - the best critics have never been snobs. just very sophisticated jive detectors -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 10, 08:39
    - I’m surprised - there are a bunch of decent success or bigger folks - carly rae jepsen, drake, the 1975, nas, beach house, kendrick lamar, bad bunny, - i.b! Dec 10, 07:42 4
      - CRJ hasn’t remotely come close to a second (or 3rd technically) hit in years but always gets critically acclaimed. -- nm - Tim Dec 10, 08:25 1
        
        not as huge, sure; but a few songs from the latest album have gotten quite a bit of play and social media use. - i.b! Dec 10, 10:26
      - I’m aware of those artists but have no interest in their stuff so I suppose my comment was misleading. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 10, 07:45 1
        
        the 1975 is a band I feel like I'm supposed to like but am just bored by. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 07:51
And I just realized there was some release date funny business with the Spoon album and it was on 2021's list -- (edited) - Reagen Dec 10, 07:07
I know three of those! -- nm - Tim Dec 10, 06:55 5
- Metric, Black Keys and YYY? -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 07:03 4
  - Yep. I recognize quite a few more artists but only those 3 songs. -- nm - Tim Dec 10, 08:16
  - I didn't know Metric had a new album! how is it ? -- nm - mud Dec 10, 07:25 2
    - Best since Fantasies. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 07:28 1
      - ! -- nm - mud Dec 10, 07:30
