1999 will be a party song in 2099.

Very true.

Prince is better than at least 80% of popular music in history, and 90% since, well, Prince.

Purple Rain > most pop music since 2010.

Prince would have been 64 today.

Pat Benatar - Seven the Hard Way.

Underrated. One of my all time faves.

[Kepler]

Miss T, this is for you. 44 years before Stonewall.

June is for you and the rest of our LGBTQ Cafers; god bless.

[Kepler]

Really soothing music for when you're sick: Ma Rainey.

TIL Willow Weep for Me was written about the trees outside Anne Rommell's room at Radcliffe.

It was rejected by most of the big houses because it was considered too complicated for mass audiences, was dedicated to Gershwin who was being shunned, and because it would "never be anything."

It has become one of the most covered and quoted American Song Book standards. In the hands of geniuses it is one of the most beautiful songs ever written by an American not named Ellington.

[Kepler]

So cool.

[MissThundercat]

My god, the lineup on that barre.

I'll be in my bunk.

Goth Taylor in Look What You Made Me Do as well.

[Kepler]

I imagine this was an homage to the GOAT? =^)

fyi I very much appreciate your input on this topic.

As for your question about greatest aria for a joyride? I doubt I'm as steeped in this as others but I know I could cruise along to Largo al factotum on the more obvious side, perhaps less obvious Cortigianni vil razza.

The one that comes to mind is Traviata's "drink, laugh, fuck" aria.
