At first Ionly liked Golden Soldiers and Blood &and Poison. Now I honestly believe it's one of the very few ultimate, true God-tier records.

Keywords: I, think, one of.

I'm glad you like it now, but, man, how did it take time for American Pie to click for you? The eponymous song is such a fucking classic. So much rock history compressed into eight minutes of top-notch lyricism and a catchy melody.

The only part that appeals to me is when he says "when the music stopped" bc 1). RIP Valens 2). It's the best sounding part

The chorus sucks and idk what he even means by American Pie

Read a breakdown of the lyrics dude. All of it is symbolic, describing shit that was happening in music and society from the 50s to 70s.

My sister's boyfriend was really into this and I think that subconsciously deterred me from them, until one day I literally woke up with a sudden appreciation for this song and I've been more or less hooked for months

Don McLean: American Pie [United Artists, 1971]
The title cut is the great novelty song that may be about the death of rock and roll or may be about its refusal to die. The other material here indicates that McLean himself believes the former, but since it also indicates that he couldn't have composed "American Pie"--he just took dictation from the shade of Buddy Holly, who must be taking some pretty strong drugs up there to make such a mistake--you might as well judge for yourself. And do so like a real novelty-lover, by buying the single--unless you're in the market for a song about how nobody understood Van Gogh. C-

I watched that Ian Curtis biopic, having that context really helped this time around
