I'm taking one verse out and sliding another one in. This is it. 😁
Henry Mitchell29 said:I’ve listened to Waits so many times over the years that he’s practically become background noise to me now—just totally worn out. I spent several years forcing myself through his discography, just grinding through every single phase... from those early gritty classics all the way to the newer, weirder experimental stuff from the last couple of decades.
I honestly used to fantasize about learning how to play an instrument just so I could sit there by myself, play his classics, and scream the lyrics at the top of my lungs. 😁
That happens with a lot of music, really. You overplay it until the magic just evaporates, so you have to be careful about how much you consume. That's how I handle certain artists.
Henry Mitchell29 said:If the high-ranking Nazi leadership—you know, guys like Joseph Goebbels or Hermann Goering—actually put a band together and played a set, it would inevitably be some hyper-technical shred metal. Honestly, they wouldn't have any other idea how to express themselves. 😁 🤦
Jesse Jackson3 said:Every once in a while, I’d run into them or hear about them through recommendations or some random mention online, but I never actually sat down to give them a real listen. Honestly, there wasn't even a specific reason why I hadn't, just life getting in the way. Well, that changes today.
If you think there's a better, more "approachable" album to start with if I want to get into their discography, let me know. If this is the one, then we're good to go. 😉
I have a huge soft spot for this one, and I've also always loved Super Fuzz Big Muff—you basically have to listen to an album with a title that legendary. 😁
1. I Won't Work For Dollars 2. We're Only Here For The Money 3. ...The Day I Was Left Alone 4. Goodbye, Mary 5. People From The Underground 6. Miniature 7. How Can This Be 8. Death 9. I Loved You Madly 10. Crazy From... 11. Bandier Ross

There’s zero reason you have to sit through every single thing on this list.
It's pretty obvious, even if you just glance at the suggestions, which ones might actually hit for you. Just stick to those.
Using that slang term from the old movies, I guess "breadth" here actually provides "depth." There really is something for everyone in this pile.👍
Amanda Lopez50 said:I probably already made this clear with my first suggestion, but I've always had a soft spot for traditional music and how people interpret it, so it’s no surprise that I actually find this stuff beautiful.
In that case, you're definitely going to dig these versions too. 👍
Just a side note, those damn Armenians have suffered so much as a people it’s actually tragic. Generally speaking, Christians in modern-day Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and those kinds of places have been absolutely screwed, both now and throughout history.
p.s. I was thinking about suggesting Rage Against the Machine today since we were talking about Armenians.
I just don't feel anything when I listen to Balašević. I can admit he’s a solid musician and a top-tier lyricist, but honestly? It feels hollow. I don't really get why he’s considered so relevant.
It all feels so detached from my actual life; I can't find a way to connect with the songs, and none of it triggers any kind of reaction in me.
That was never the case, for instance, when Coce or Oliver passed away. That actually hit me hard—I felt this massive wave of grief and nostalgia. If someone were to play anything by those two right now, I probably wouldn't be able to stop myself from tearing up.
