Continuing on with rap... NWA. Since they only had released two albums, the listening was short. Started yesterday, completed today. Overall, Straight Out of Compton I liked the best strictly because of Ice Cube. His voice and delivery carried the whole album along with Dr. Dre beats. Um...  Niggaz4Life... even though I would rate it higher than SOOC, but its so edgy and no filter at all at times most of the time that it begins to be funny. 🤔

Straight Out of Compton (1988) - 4.6/10

Niggaz4Life (1991) - 6.9/10

This song helped me process 9/11 and its helping me now with processing this new COVID 19 world we are living in. "It's just a moment, this time will pass."

I’ve listened to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas” ten times this month so far. I REGRET NOTHING!

It was a tough time in terms of social policies, but if you weren't among those left out in the cold by the widening gap between the haves and the have-nots, it was at least a good time to be a teenag

I'm listening to Council Skies (Deluxe) by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.  This is Noel's 4th solo album since walking away from Oasis.  I'm in love with the man.  I think this the best of the 4 NGHFB albums.  Most of his solo music is not like Oasis, but also not not-like Oasis.

The cardboard cutout in the first video is Pep Guardiola, manager of English Premier League team Manchester City Football Club, Noel and Liam's lifelong side. In 2022/23, they won an historic treble:  EPL league champions, FA Cup champions, and Champions League champions.  Brilliant.

@Rushmoras, you are an amazing person to take it upon yourself to broaden your musical interests by listening to such disparate artists and genres.  I personally really like Gangster Rap and Hip Hop (West Coast, please).  Next, listen to Dr. Dre or Snoop Dogg's stuff.  It's confusing though because they all sing on one another's tracks/albums.  Word of warning: you'd be wise to steer clear of DMX.  He's too much, even for me.

Or try the girl rap and hip-hop groups of the '90s. Salt-N-Pepa, Eve, and my favorite, TLC.

Clips of the  movie The Greatest Days , musical about friends who grew up loving the music of a boy band . 

So much love for this video.  They are totally channeling The Derry Girls going to see Take That in Series 2, Episode 3.  This seems like a real rip-off.

I just love Aisling Bea.  She is one of the funniest comedians ever.  She's on a lot of those UK panel shows.

Derry Girls was so funny, they deserved more seasons than 3.

I loved Every Single Character on that show.  I can't really pick a favorite but Sister Michael comes to mind.  I can't tell you how many times I've re-watched this series.  The Cranberries songs were just a bonus.

Topic:  This.  One of my Desert Island Discs.  Morrissey's voice and Johnny Fuckin' Marr's tremolo.  Masterful.

Edited to add a note to younger music fans.  The voice you hear in this video is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT A REAL VOICE.  This is what that sounds like.  This is not a mechanically or electronically enhanced voice.  This is a man named Steven Patrick Morrissey singing straight into a mic for a video.  This is what ALL music used to be and what ALL music should be.  /end Boomer rant

Bits of this masterpiece were in my head yesterday and I had one heck of a time figuring out the name of the song.  I only remembered "Livin' on a...", so naturally, all of my Google searches returned page after page of Livin' on a Prayer.  It was so frustrating.  Then I remembered Line being in the title, and, suddenly, I remember the whole thing.

It's a classic and was used in an episode of The Sopranos (best television show ever, along with Breaking Bad).  Someone did a compilation of the kills on the show and used this song.  I was traumatized with the killing of Adriana by Sylvio.  I remember insisting she wasn't really dead, and my husband telling me, "She was a rat. Rats get killed."  I give you Livin' on a Thin Line, by The Kinks.  TRIGGER WARNING for graphic images.

Here's a different version if you don't want the violence.  "But there's no England now."
