    Honestly iconic run of albums from 92-05!

     

    Great picks!! It's tough to find even a single song I wouldn't keep from the first 4 albums.

    I would add a separate corner just for b-sides and unreleased. Can't live without any of these:

     

    Sister Janet

    Alamo

    Cooling

    Cool On Your Island

    Never Seen Blue

    Honey

    Purple People

    Upside Down

    Beulah Land

    Etienne

    Bachelorette

    Here In My Head

    Song For Eric

    Merman

    Abbey Road

    Siren

     

    Cool On Your Island and Etienne are pretty unlistenable on YKTR but sublime live

     

    And some essential covers (this is perhaps a whole other 10-disc collection):

     

    A Case of You

    Daniel

    Angie

    Thank You

    I’m On Fire

    i find him absolutely insufferable

     

    i especially loathe him for what he's said about madonna & dead or alive (one hit wonder / 80's pop band with small cult following)

    Todd's prob I think is that he doesn't know what it is to LIVE for Madonna or Katy or whoever :gasp:. He's not coming from that place.

    He mentioned Lana once in a trashing of DCMA, but he was defending her sorta

    I'd say the Prism criticism at the end made no sense cause imo it's her best album and I will not tolerate hate against it except for Roar, that song was trash, but yeah he had some good points

    I feel like the Prism thing was cuz he needed an angle that was diff than everyone else's review - like, "no guys, she actually lost her edge on Prism!"

     

    i did like the idea that Witness actually accomplished its goal of humanizing her, just oops not in the way she planned.

    Personally I find participation in the kanye marilyn julia mess to be disqualifying, but if we're gonna do it, my optimum Donoghue outcome:

     

    they are not dating, but are special friends who get one another

    he has been producing LDR9

    it's a synth-heavy, beat-heavy, psychedelic BB dreamscape

    the album is done

    and it is entitled Del Norte County

     

    after release he is free to go :wave:

    For the City That Nearly Broke Me is already a known poem:  https://poets.org/poem/city-nearly-broke-me

    For the City that Nearly Broke Me

    Reginald Dwayne Betts

    A woman tattoos Malik’s name above
    her breast & talks about the conspiracy
    to destroy blacks. This is all a fancy way
    to say that someone kirked out, emptied
    five or six or seven shots into a still warm body.
    No indictment follows Malik’s death,
    follows smoke running from a fired pistol.
    An old quarrel: crimson against concrete
    & the officer’s gun still smoking.
    Someone says the people need to stand up,
    that the system’s a glass house falling on only
    a few heads. This & the stop snitching ads
    are the conundrum and damn all that blood.
    All those closed eyes imagining Malik’s
    killer forever coffled to a series of cells,
    & you almost believe them, you do, except
    the cognac in your hand is an old habit,
    a toast to friends buried before the daybreak
    of their old age. You know the truth
    of the talking, of the quarrels & how
    history lets the blamed go blameless for
    the blood that flows black in the street;
    you imagine there is a riot going on,
    & someone is tossing a trash can through
    Sal’s window calling that revolution,
    while behind us cell doors keep clanking closed,
    & Malik’s casket door clanks closed,
    & the bodies that roll off the block
    & into the prisons and into the ground,
    keep rolling, & no one will admit
    that this is the way America strangles itself.

    i'd recommend native invader & ocean to ocean from her newer music... and i'd also recommend to skip anything released between 2007 and 2015 :true:

     

    it seems like she's really been rising out of that period. crazy tho to think that she has basically had back-to-back-to-back releases and tours and eras all the way back to 1992, and then it was like 10 years of playing for tips in hotel lobbies before that

    I haven't really been keeping up with the newer music, but I'm feeling really warmly toward her, and am really glad she is still going out there and delivering!

    tickets secured! this will be my, idk, 15th time seeing her but the excitement never fades bc she's so fantastic at switching up her set lists...lana take note.

     

    Amazing! Set list - totally. If you go to 2 - 3 nights you can get like 50 songs! Do you like your seats?
