I like that a laugh react on your album post in this thread was enough to elicit this response

You laugh at people's music yet you never post yours. Be a man and post yours.

All great songs ITT. Thanks for all the tips, will try ro follow up.

I'm listening to some old Eno, Music For Airports, and I haven't ever used heroin so beat that.

This week I've listen to Kids in the Kitchen, Essendon Airport, Nation XII, that song with Barnsey screaming in the sky, Nick Drake, Beach Boys can't remember the rest. Oh some soundtracks, Gladiator, Rome Total War, Lawrence of Arabia.

Keep circling back to the Butthole surfers:

Feel he’s more of a Huey Lewis and the News type

Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

I'll diverge to top 10 songs showing some diversity...had to cap 10 or I would have copped some TLDR. I have a few Spotify playlists and one of them I made an all time Top 200 and that was hard to cap. Its probably snuck up to above 200 now as I added a few I missed along the way.

Jack and Diane - John Cougar Mellencamp
Forever Young - Youth Group (yes I know not original)
Never Start - Middle Kids

No, no, I just laugh at yours because you're very sensitive about how you appear

Johnny Rotten dislikes your post.

Didn't he murder someone? Which one was the murderer?

Wrong pistol sweetie, that was Sid Vicious and he killed his girlfriend.
