    I thought I was early since I was printing out Wu Tang lyrics to memorize when I was 13-14 but then Shrek and some of the other posters started going in at 11 and 12 17 is when I started going in on the dust

    i was going incredibly hard on exclusively EDM from ages like 11-16

    i was a mini raver. was tapped into those late 00s movements at ground zero level. parents thought i was insane listening to all those bleeps and bloops, i didnt even like vocal stuff. still have a part of that in my taste with my appreciation of the abstract sounds and respect for danceability

    then in late high school it became almost all hip hop. only really got into rock first year of college then everything else followed.

    (listened to some rock when i was in single digits though just via parents)

    Boz Burrell was a really underrated singer for the band, dude had an angelic voice. Whole album is really good but Ladies of the Road is embarrassingly bad, not sure what they were thinking with that one.

    Nice cover Gil's version so deep in my psyche after nearly two decades of Late Registration

    Sun In My Morning always gonna be my favourite but its almost on the level

    So I listened to it and I really liked it, but I’m not quite seeing what you’re seeing in it. Second half is better than the first half, but I was a bit put off by the shift in singing style—where it seems like they’re either trying to lean into the R&B/Soul vocal inflections of the time or they’re weirdly holding back power in their voice to the detriment of some songs. The title track and the closing track are incredible tho. But like I said, it’s not touching Bee Gee’s 1st or Odessa. Thank you though for pushing me to listen to it.

    Those ones are also big highlights. I’ll definitely keep it in rotation. That and this Arthur Russel album I’ve been listening to.

    yeah this a mega classic ballad

    album also has one of Norman Whitfields most cinematically epic productions 12 minutes

    Elvis Country and Love Letters From Elvis both not hitting at all

    the deeper I get the more 1969 seems like a miracle

    Elvis Country got a few decent ones for me for sure like Snowbird but also suffers from the bizarre decision to cram that snippet everywhere interrupting the album

    only Elvis I've heard past that is maybe 10 or so songs included on greatest hits
