His discog feels linked to my life more than any other so its especially hard to even begin to compare
Br00ses 🐇Apr 2·1 replyElricI love Drake but I've heard him do the same slow r&b type of song 4000 times now. Time to spice it up, Aubrey.
Oh I like some songs on that album

Man he’s just been so reserved publicly compared to how I’m used to seeing him. So I was happy to see him. I like it if he’s channeling his energy and passion towards that kind of stuff.

Fax. 'tis between Kenny and Ye.
Feel like I'm a rare one who was like 8 hearing CD for the first time even If i didnt neccesarily understand all the contents in what he was talkin bout, but followed his career since literally that point on till present day

Yeah it's truly crazy how many phases of my life were soundtracked by Kanye since 2004. Must be how Rolling Stones stans felt by the 80s.
There are several others that soundtracked my life too of course but nobody so consistently for so long.

Who else rounds out your top 5?
It depends on how you gauge greatness - consistency or amount of quality, or somewhere in between. It's hard to compare The Velvet Underground going 4 for 4 against, say, Neil Young with a billion classics but some duds.
Prince, Bowie, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis, Tom Waits are some of those insanely huge discographies that are flawed but undeniable overall because of how much they offer.
Then there's the Velvet Undergrounds, Big Stars, Nick Drakes and Elliott Smiths of the world where basically every note was perfect but there's not a lot of content.
The Beatles, Radiohead, Kanye, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Kendrick, MF DOOM are some of my favorite examples of artists with a good balance of content and quality without TOO many duds and I would say some version of that list makes up my top 5.

Even before I could fully claim to be a big Kanye fan in my own right the hits of graduation and 808s were soundtracking my life when I was like age 10-12

No Kinks
Yeah I definitely lean more toward the deeper and wider discographies with a few duds. Velvets and Stooges as good as it's possible to be but I can't say I've got as much enjoyment from them as I have the mountain of magic Bob and Neil have created. Bowie and Kinks round out my top 5 probably.
Bob especially has run several victory laps on everybody else at this point but Kanye has potential to catch up at this rate
Apr 2·1 replyrviYeah
Drunk af guy next to me I was raging with was trying to get me hyped and stand back up for round 2 of bully songs and north west appearance
Then was like "bro I swear thats the best concert you will ever see" at the end
Idk about all that lol but so great to see the artist of the century in the flesh
2013 - 2016 ye concerts was the peak of his live performances
I went to Pablo and a festival in 2016 but will always regret not going to yeezus and other shows he did in that period

He was more locked in on a strictly performance level for the Throne Tour than Yeezus or Pablo from my experience. Pressure on when Hov is right there.

There are many mainline Kinks albums I have not heard, so I can’t really include them. I’ve heard all the canon albums from 1964-1971 and love them of course, but not:
Everybody’s in Showbiz
Soap Opera
Schoolboys in Disgrace
Low Budget
Give the People What They Want
State of Confusion
Word of Mouth
Think Visual
UK Jive
