USCHO Music Thread: We All Have A Crush On Shirley Manson

[Kepler]

I honestly am not aware of his backstory - only that he was a suggested listen on Spotify for me many moons ago and really enjoy listening to him.

He is what we politely refer to as "difficult." It makes me gigle to imagine him at the Factory with Andy and Halston and Bill Burroughs and Edie Sedgewick and International Velvet and Warhol's Nazi Twiggy and Richard Hell. He may have been the least irritating person in that room.

Been on a rabbit hole with The Police and I am ****ing digging it. The first time I bought any of their music was with Columbia House and both Zenyatta Mondatta and Outlanos D'Amour were in my initial buy way back when. And just like Purple Rain was basically the soundtrack of our school my junior year, Synchronicity was the same my sophomore year.

If I had to name an underrated band The Police would definitely be on that list. A song like So Lonely is so freaking good yet I wonder how many would name it in their Top 10?

Anyway if I had to rank their 5 albums top to bottom:

1. Synchronicity
2. Reggatta de Blanc
3. Ghost in the Machine
4. Zenydatta Mondatta
5. Outlandos D'Amour

It was such a trajectory and I was so ****ed when they broke up but they sure as **** did not flame out.

I can't disagree with a single word of this post. Just one letter. Bravo.

My late high school was The Police, The Clash, and Gang of Four.

You got The Clash before they wrecked it. Although I have a soft spot for Big Audio Dynamite.

I can't tell if this is dissing Green Day or One Direction or both and you mean Fiona Apple.

I was dissing One Direction perhaps too obviously and I like Fiona Apple. : )
