USCHO Music: From Queen to The Beatles to Lady Gaga

[MissThundercat]

When I was 10: "Depeche Mode sounds cool, I guess."

Now that I'm 44: "I understand Depeche Mode."

I’ve been thinking myself a failure the last few weeks because my son stated that he didn’t like Weird Al.

A bit of the sting was removed today when I heard him humming “Sundown” in his room as he played with his legos.

No, I did not explain the content of the song. He’s 7.

I also love that scene with Leighton Beezer, even though he's clearly making fun of the whole thing.

Yes.

I have never been able to get into Weird Al either. I just. Can't. Do. It.

Although I'll take him over Alice Cooper and Steely Dan.

All 3 of those acts are stellar.

I can agree that Al's earlier song parodies can be irritating and repetitive, but his year end polka medleys always make me smile, and if you don't love Mandatory Fun you have no soul.

Steely Dan I thought was yacht rock until I got into jazz. Now I think other than Zappa it is the most technically complex and beautiful rock ever devised.

Alice is not my bag (I am an Iggy guy), but even I get that he's brilliant.

Blasphemy , Alice Cooper's album Killer is awesome. Steely dan is on another level. If I had to pick a few bands to listen to for the rest of my life Steely Dan would be on the list
