It sounds a bit more real to me than her other plastic, machine tooled corporate bullshit, as if someone involved in the creation of it might have listened to some real music at one time. But on the whole, she still sucks.

Wait, Wavves are chillwave? Half the time they sound like Green Day trying to sound like Nirvana. A quarter of the time they sound like Sebadoh, and a quarter of the time they sound like one of the infinite bands that has attempted to simultaneously sound like Sebadoh and Sonic Youth. How is that chillwave? Also, what's chillwave? Lol |

Uhhhh... first of all it's called "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it)," and second, it's the fucking buzzsaw synths in the chorus that make it sound different than other Beyoncé singles. I was just thinking about this track the other day. It's still dope, and it's damn near a decade old. It might have been Beyoncé's first really great song, and her only truly transcendent single. Even now (I see you made this comment years ago, so forgive my brashness, btw), with Bey being "acceptable" listening for people who otherwise listen to ... well... I guess Sonic Youth... it still stands as her most crizazzy banger. Per Wikipedia, it "uses hand claps, minor chords, spaced-out synthesizers, robotic effects and an ascending whistling in the background," all of which contributed to a unique sound that was probably more fizzy hip-hop than true R&B. What caught my attention about it at the time (and, mind you, this was the first Beyoncé song I ever liked, or had any desire to listen to more than once) was how aggressive it sounded, particularly during the key change in the chorus. It has a lightning-in-a-bottle effect, and for Severian circa 2008, who was still reeling from a year-long Cryptograms bender, it sounded like the most refreshing thing in pop music. 'Course now it's a wedding song. |

"Chillwave" is basically something for which people should apologize to Kevin Shields, mercilessly named as some kind of patron saint of this crap. I do like Best Coast's first album, though.

Yah, Best Coast is terrible. They had a nice contribution to that Space Project album, but they were outdone by Jason Pierce. Their "era" was (I say "was" because I think it's pretty much over) a really weird one for indie rock. The dying of the light was something, and rather than rage, Best Coast and other of their ilk decided to merely sloth against it. |

Ten more:
Toby Keith - The List * Sade - Smooth Operator Grateful Dead - US Blues Ray Peterson - Oklahoma City Times ** The Carpenters - Love Is Surrender (well, the lyrics at least--music and singing suck) Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out Tom T. Hall - What Have You Got To Lose ("try women and booze and the cigarette blues/what have you got to lose") YG featuring Nipsey Hussle - Fuck Donald Trump Lionel Richie - All Night Long Billy Joel - Allentown * I really hate admitting this. Still, the song would be a lot better if someone with real talent sang it. **1970 song that Peterson wrote after his teen idol says were over. I saw him lip synch it on a television show that I have a crude cassette recording of. It is very different from and better than his maudlin ballads. The only other people who have heard of it are probably middle aged women who heard Bobby Sherman's version which I haven't heard but is likely inferior to Peterson's original. I'd like to hear other songs Peterson recorded around that time; maybe I can move him off my "people whose songs you generally don't like" list. Whew, doing not one but two of these lists is a lot like work. I'm not inclined to do a third. I'd rather listen to and seek out good stuff than come up with good tunes by people whose music is usually toxic. |

There were several Sade songs on that Steve Shelley playlist that was posted here years ago.

"The Sweetest Taboo" is fantastic. There are about five Sade songs I'm crazy about.

I don't interpret the thread title as saying you only have to like one song by artists you don't usually care for. But I think Allentown might be his only really solid song. Piano Man is OK but has been played to death over the years. Only The Good Die Young is OK but too smarmy, like so much of his stuff. New York State Of Mind would, like the Toby Keith song, be better if sung by someone else. In fact, I remember hearing a jazz guy do a good version of it. I'll see if I can dig up the name. As for Keith, the list contains errands and chores around the house he has to do. Again, the song would be a lot better if someone superior to him--and that's a pretty large group of singers-- sang it, as his delivery is kind of annoying. But don't worry. If you listen to the tune, you won't be tempted to wear a Make America Great Again hat or buy out the stock at the nearest gun shop. Honest. ![]() |
