Holy Mountain has had more streams than Once and What A Life and is just behind If I Had a Gun. Wow. One day Holy Mountain will have its revenge

The thing is those streams only include the Spotify ones and not all of the streaming services.

James Brown, man. Grooviest man to ever live and one of the most influential artists of all-time:

I never thought I'd hear LORD cover Savage Garden. Now I have, thumbs up.
EDIT: Forgot to mention it is To the moon and back.

I love this performance from Radiohead because a lot of their songs and albums feel very cold and distant but this is so raw and you can really get a feel for the songs. It made me realize how good In Rainbows is (especially Nude) too.

Also, Videotape is such a gorgeous tune by Radiohead.

In Rainbows might have been complete fan service following Hail To The Thief but they crushed it anyway. A complete masterpiece and a phenomenal world tour.

I tried to learn jigsaw falling into place on the guitar. Goddamn keeping the arpegio going in that high tempo is hard. I respect that they tried to play it live but that one shines the brightest as a studiocut

Probably the most depressing first verse of all the covers.

Here's a brain teaser for you (inspired by the song I am listening to, Walk in the Shadows by Queensryche), songs about vampires.

Dakota by Stereophonics is a fantastic, euphoric tune.

A lot of people like to give U2 shit for making Miami, but it's a groovy tune that really goes off the deep end on experimenting and sounds solid (albeit slightly creepy) doing so. Some parts of it are a little dated aren't all that great, but it's a wild tune. Anyone who criticizes U2 for doing the same thing over and over cannot also criticize Miami for being experimental without being a hypocrite.

Listening to The Amenta's new album. I think they've bettered Vo1d. Industrial death is often bashed but this proves there are some out there who make great contributions to the genre.

It’s my favourite song off Pop so I wholeheartedly agree with you. That said, I’m not a U2 expert but I know enough to know this tune doesn’t get the appreciation it deserves.

Anyone who criticizes U2 for doing the same thing over and over cannot also criticize Miami for being experimental without being a hypocrite. I like it too, not a go to track of theirs but fits that albums trashy vibe. That's all it is, an experimental piece. Fairly impressionistic and improvisational, like a dancey version of an Unforgettable Fire track. Decent interlude. Not one to get furious over but I suspect it gets a bad rep because it didn't fit the casual listeners perception of U2 who were used to the fully fleshed carefully crafted songs of Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby (and conventionality of Rattle & Hum). Pop was supposed to be that big album with a huge promotional push in the way that Zooropa and Passengers were not. Suspect it would have passed without fuss if it had been released on a companion piece album like Zooropa or the Passengers album.

downatthemeninmusicBUSINESSconference I'm working my way through Lana's back catalogue now. Say, Escapist, what would your top ten list look like? Tough one! Lana's an artist that favours refinement over revolution, so sometimes when you look at her discography as a whole it's easy to think it's a bit narrow, but with more careful listens you see how she's subtly been cooking different sides of the meat every time. Ultraviolence and Honeymoon are both vintage, noir-ish albums, but one's Sin City and the other is Casablanca. Plus, she just writes good tunes with every release. And what a voice! In no particular order: - Ride - Salvatore - Summer Bummer - Venice Bitch - Brooklyn Baby - West Coast - Young & Beautiful - California - The Greatest - Honeymoon But I seriously could give another ten I enjoy just as much - basically every tune from both Born to Die and Norman Fucking Rockwell, for instance. I'd be interesting which albums/songs you prefer from her catalogue. I'd be surprised if you didn't get a lot of enjoyment out of Ultraviolence. And if you just imagine Honeymoon as a series of auditions for the Bond theme, you'll probably get a kick out of that one, too!

And if you just imagine Honeymoon as a series of auditions for the Bond theme, you'll probably get a kick out of that one, too! She's got to be the best singer-songwriter of her generation, certainly in the pop world. Norman Fucking Rockwell is an album of such painstaking craft and quality that its hard to believe it is a modern pop album. That's not saying it's retro, what I mean is it's a timeless album, not defined to any particular time or sound and something that could slot into any era perfectly and still succeed. As someone who wasn't too familiar with her work beforehand (aside from a few tracks here and there), it's an album that was instantly stunning. That says a lot about how great an album it is, standing on its own merits without preconceptions I think.
