OT: ♫ The Music Thread ♫

I still will never understand the appeal of Taylor Swift to anyone over the age of middle school girls. They say it's like Michael Jackson; her music doesn't have that soul, groove, or musicianship.

Anyone heard the new Opeth? It's on my list when I have the motivation.

Planes Mistaken For Stars put out a posthumous album after their singer passed away. Curious to hear it to end the year.

I don't understand the appeal on a lot of things. She's just one of them.

But we're all different to some degree. Someone likes this someone likes that. Some people like just about everything. I've never found it easy to like any group that found mass appeal and it doesn't matter the genre. Oh, it's popular......then it must suck. I admit that's kind of f***ed up but that's the way it's always been with me. Along the way I've lost interest in complaining about what other people like. If they try to stick it in my face I'll either be annoyed or dismissive but otherwise I leave it alone and tune out what I don't like.

A complaint I do have. I can see if there's a political candidate you don't like using your song telling them---suing them if necessary to stop is fine and dandy but prostituting your music in service of a political candidate at least on a national level is a bit much.

By the way that goes for priests and preachers too.

Remember the 90's. Massively underrated sleeper artist. Plays every instrument and produced the record himself.
