Talking about people namedropping is worse than actively namedropping

The Velvet Underground
The Beatles
Death Grips

>>74704089
Actually one of the most revered singers of all time. Man, your mother should have actually dropped you. Go listen to some Brand New or something, you loser.

you should be publicly hung and the have your suspended lifeless corpse shot at by a fucking firing squad and then you should be removed from the noose and whatever is left of your body should be gut like a fish and then your entrails should be used to suffocate each of your immediate family members individually as they're forcibly and aggressively restrained

>Musicians OP doesn't listen to because it's not muh classic rock

I listen to all of them at least a few times a month, and Buddy Holly is one of my top 15 favorite artist

Baltimore [CTI, 1978]

Carried along on David Matthews's uncharacteristically infectious arrangement, Simone's version of one of Randy Newman's more perfunctory American-names songs is a glorious fluke on the order of Baez's "Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." I'm glad, though, that it's available as a single, because unlike owner-annotator Creed Taylor I don't find that Simone's "magnificent intensity . . . turns everything--even the most simple, mundane phrase or lyric--into a radiant, poetic message." On the contrary, her penchant for the mundane renders her intensity as bogus as her mannered melismas and pronunciation (move over, Inspector Clouseau) and the rote flatting of her vocal improvisations. There are several good cuts here; the song selection is often inspired (Hurley-Witkins's "The Family," perfect). But a woman who not only avoids coming out with the "bitch" in "Rich Girl" but hobbles the rhythm as well has real problems. B-

A Single Woman [Elektra, 1993] *bomb*

Think about how this guy consciously put four parentheses in his emoticon, to convey mockery while attempting to act like he's just joking around so he can fall back if questioned.
