What is a song that you would love to see a particular artist cover? For me I’d love to see Bruno Mars do a version of MJ’s ā€œRock my worldā€

Drake has surrounded himself with people who won’t challenge him when it comes to creating art resulting in the horrible showing that was the Iceman albums, if he wants to return to form, isolating or bringing on new established artists that are willing to push him will result in a way better album, or his heart is just not in it anymore and he needs to hang it up

There's been many times throughout music history where an album is disliked (or even outright panned) on it's release, but decades later ends up getting major reappraisal and appreciation it didn't receive at the time (ex: Pet Sounds, Low, On the Corner, and Pinkerton, just to name a handful). What are some albums that were released during the 2010s and 2020s that you think will get the same treatment a few years from now?

Anthony Fantano should review more furry musicians! He’s covered glass beach and car seat headrest before, but what are his opinions on other musicians of the fandom? What are his favorite furry artists at the moment?

theneedledrop

you're maybe just shitposting but fwiw Anthony's said that he won't take the sponsor again. don't think i should say more than he's already put out there publicly sorry

battab battab

Where can i find where he adressed it. I didn't know he adressed it. i see lots of comments about it still on his channel videos.

theneedledrop

think it was just an insta comment, wasn't anything thorough. he'd said it to me too tho

Herbieguy

Its sad people on YT are gonna ruin the next Let's Argue with their tantrums but hopefully he'll just ignore them anyway. He doesnt usually go by most likes with his comment selections anyway.

theneedledrop

@Herbieguy i don't want to be dismissive of concerns and criticism coming from good faith, but there is obvi a degree of brigading going on w/ it at this point. like rn seemingly drake fans thinking it's hypocritical to call out drake for partnering with a cryptocasino; only time i can think of where we've called out someone for doing a "sponsorship" (stretching the word)

Nina Mercep

I think that's fair. The brigading goes too far imo, just because I know these people are NOT giving this intense energy to all the people far more actively damaging and manipulative on the internet, so to me it gets very hollow. I do think sadly Fantano should address it due to how much hysteria it is creating

Nina Mercep

Lady Gaga deserves one redux from Fantano

Caleb Hilston

We don't need Elvis's music anymore. Give the spotlight and the historic flowers to the black artists he ripped off. Fuck Jerry Lee Lewis also. Music history needs to forget them.

Henry Lowenthal

This is a long one: Chris Cornell was the greatest male vocalist and a top 10 songwriter/lyricist of the nineties. If not the greatest male vocalist of all time. Along with that I think that audioslave was a better band than rage against the machine. Not saying that RATM was bad. There’s only so much of ZDLR’s voice one can handle. A lot of his songs get looked over in a lyrical sense as well. Soundgarden was the best band to come out of the grunge era. Nirvana was more popular and Kurt was a voice of a generation, but soundgarden made better music. We were also robbed of a soundgarden unplugged.

@Nina Mercep like, if somebody's harping on "preachiness" or "moral grandstanding" you already know they're probably the type to read anything besides apathy or callousness as performative. in their eyes the brazen scumbags you have in mind are earnest and 'tu quoque'-proof for going all-in on vice

Andrew Phillips

Chris Cornell's scream is a wildly overhated album filled with fun bangers and mostly great Timbaland production. Only got hated on sm cuz it was a major departure from Chris' usual work

AiOly

Without Pearl Jam’s ā€œDo the Evolutionā€ there’d be no Cave World and dare I say no Viagra Boys

Skullring27

( I just saw them live so this is on my mind take) By Storm should make an entirely instrumental album or ep (ala Fashion Week). As I listen to MGGG more, I come to realize how much I love the soft to bombastic dynamics of the album. Plus the way that the duo uses voice snippets in their songs, could be a substitute for lyrics. Also if you can, go see By Storm they are incredible live.

The Beatles' best song was actually written by Electric Light Orchestra and titled "Mr. Blue Sky"

ToadMan101

We're coming up on 15 years of Born This Way in just three days, and I distinctly remember that one was a joke review. Maybe we actually see a proper review this time?

Baltha

I don’t understand people who look down on or dismiss the ā€œgimmicksā€ musicians do (I feel like the word itself sounds kind of dismissive, but I can’t think of a better one). I actually think it’s really cool, and I wish there were more musicians like for example Jack White who include lots of weird, maybe even pointless traditions, patterns, or little Easter eggs in their work. To me, it’s entertaining, and it’s also a sign that the musician is genuinely passionate about what they create

Henry Lowenthal

To add onto this I think we’re owed a superunkown review.

VesperCognac

This topic itself has drained me, as it's been about a month already. šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø The incessant spam has made the comment sections genuinely less enjoyable, beyond the typical stale "joke" memes. There are literal global attrocities that the channel talks about almost daily... yet here we are, yapping about a YouTube sponsor.

Josh Brown

I don’t see enough people mention R.E.M. in the ā€œbest album runā€ conversation for their UNMATCHED output from ā€˜83-ā€˜92. Though not every album was wholly unique or groundbreaking, they maintained a singular sound and quality that defined the indie underground throughout the decade. When they did start to expand their sound with records like Document it did result in some of the most creative albums to rock breakthrough the mainstream, ending with Automatic For the People which is an underrated, 10/10 masterpiece.

Jordan Fairbairn

I wonder has your opinion change or evolved for Chelsea Wolfe’s album Birth of Violence, as that has stood the test of time for me and as my introduction to Chelsea’s music, it really captivated me. Whilst I don’t prefer her contemporaries overall such as Emma Ruth Rundle, Nicole Dollanganger and Kristin Hayter, Birth of Violence at least to me is the organic sounding of her records with a strong track list with tracks such as Erde, Title Track, Deranged and Highway. It’s the most I’ve connected with a Chelsea album besides her newest, and while overall Emma and Nicole are more my style of gothic/dream-pop, Chelsea really stood out with this record at least in my eyes.

Tender Loving Take: ā€œWaterfallsā€ by TLC is one of the 100 (or even 50) greatest songs ever released - the production is INCREDIBLE, the themes are both timeless and heartbreakingly relatable, and the chorus is actually (like ACTUALLY) perfect. This is as great as R&B AND pop gets.

You should bring back YUNOREVIEWs. There have been far too many albums released this year already, and I understand why you don’t have the time to review all of them. There are some albums that I’m just genuinely surprised you haven’t reviewed ie. Cobrah, American Football, Kenny Mason, Daphni, Ari Lennox, Lexa Gates, 21 Savage Etc. I just feel like with the influx of new artists coming in this decade, we have more popular artists being overshadowed by other reviews.

Zzzzz

Why don't todays artists do more yodeling? Music history is full of great yodelers like Hank Williams Sr., Leon Thomas, Sly Stone, etc. The closest we get today is Thom Yorke and he doesn't try hard enough, Thom needs to work harder on his yodeling. Think how great In Rainbows would sound if he yodeled the whole thing.

Isaac Furler

With so many projects coming out every week, I'm wondering how you manage to listen to as much music as you do (and not just once) while balancing personal life, work, and, most importantly, healthy sleep? If you miss some interesting albums throughout the month, how do you catch up if there's maybe a dozen of them? How do you deal with the constant feeling of FOMO? (Basically, I need tips for myself.) Appreciate your work!

We got it 4 cheap ( Vol. 1) is better than Let God Sort Em Out.

Machine Gun Philly

JPEG Take: JPEGMafia’s music would be so much easier to enjoy if he could STOP putting his foot in his mouth with every new album cycle. He’s like Diet Kanye at this point. It’s tedious, pretentious and unflattering. If you find yourself calling entire races of people sociopaths, it’s time to delete your social media and touch a few blades of grass. Sorry, Peggy.

Machine Gun Philly

Lady Gaga is the greatest pop star of the 21st century. Her artistic consistency, influence and commercial longevity are rivaled by no one. She has a strong global following AND streaming presence - and she’s a genuinely accomplished actor on top of that, which has added some substantial value to her music career. She’s the full package. With respect to Bey, even SHE doesn’t quite measure up.

Chris

Machine Gun Philly

Critical Take: Critics need to stop asking bands and artists to continuously ā€œreinventā€ themselves. When a band like Radiohead makes Kid A, it’s hailed as a reinvention, but it was also an organic development for the band, as they were already flirting with electronic elements - and technology - on OK Computer the album before. My bottom line is bands and artists should make the music THEY WANT to make and enjoy making, because expecting bands to make their own Kid A is incredibly arbitrary and even limiting. Not every artist needs to reinvent to wheel to have artistic value.

Formaline fuckupformaline

osquinn might be one of the most impactful artists of the current internet generation and the fact that she isnt mentioned ever is saf

Formaline fuckupformaline

hoshimachi suisei has the best discography of any pop artist debuting this decade. three albums + two minis under the midnight grand orchestra moniker, all genuinely fantastic and some of my favs of the decade and they all need more attention stateside

patrick

Frank Zappa is an great guitarist (obviously), but the man’s insane horniness for his wah pedal tends to undermine what would otherwise be a great solo (Looking at you, Inca Roads😠)

Charli really knew what she was doing with CRASH ;)
