USCHO Music: From Queen to The Beatles to Lady Gaga

...And Justice For All is not the best Metallica album, but "Blackened" is probably the last truly great Metallica song before they thought they could be all progressive and shit.
 
Gen-Z producer reacts to full Supertramp album Breakfast In America.

The kid's commentary is hit and miss, but I enjoyed it because 1) I love seeing people that age be exposed to the brilliance of music from the era and 2) It brings back great memories of listening to this album with my brother on his turntable in his room. He was super protective of his equipment and would kill me if I went in there on my own, so when he let me in it was always a special time.
 
BIA may be the textbook example of an album that is half fantastic songs and half garbage they threw on the disc to make their label commitment. I think it was one of the first albums I ever bought from Columbia House! If not it should have been.

That is a great story and woke up a lot of 70s memories for me. Which is like some old dude talking to me in the 70s about Al Jolson and the 1920s. Which is like some old dude talking to him in the 1920s about "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" and the 1870s.

Sunrise, sunset.

I... kinda prefer that phase?

But TBH Metallica does not do it for me in either mode. I recognize the talent though. There are really solid bands I just don't care for.

I get it. This describes most "extreme" metal genres for me. The musical talent is there, but I am just not into the death metal/grindcore growl, for example.
 
Coltrane doing take after take after take of "Naima." Each one sounds perfect to me; achingly beautiful, a masterpiece. Each one he says, no, fuck it, again!

I am so glad there are things so far over my head I'm die not even in the same star system. Our species may be monstrous but it did this. Nothing else in the universe we know does this. Humanity deserves life even if 99.9999% of us deserve oblivion.

Music 101. How to do.

From the Comments:

One of my favorite performances ever. I watch it often. He was not only a genius but one of the nicest and most unassuming rock stars the world has ever known. The world really misses (yes there are many more) Harrison, Bowie and Prince.

I've always thought Ian Brown was an awkward looking performer, but the Stone Roses sure created some wonderful music in their short time of existence.
 
Listening to these recordings, made 100 years ago. Louis Armstrong is 22 years old. The best way to describe them is fun. They have such great humor and timing.
 
I hadn't appreciated the line from The Music Man, "And oh that teacher who sang 'In the Gloaming'." Til now. Among all the drippy, sentimental, or overwrought versions, here is a gem. The simplest, most thoughtful, quietest.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

In the gloaming, oh my darling
When the lights are soft and low
And the quiet shadows falling
Softly come and softly go

When the winds are sobbing faintly
With a gentle unknown woe
Will you think of me and love me my darling
As you did once long ago?

How Swing worked a room.

Fun fact: that venue was part of the Lido Beach Hotel on Long Island. After the war, it housed the United Nations while the building was being erected.
