You all know her. But particularly on the album Vespertine, she pushes hard. I'm not gonna talk about it, because I think this song in particular speaks right to the soul. If you disagree, we don't have much to talk about.



That is a pretty cool song, but I would rather it be someone who was trying to sing in tune. But it is still in that Pachelbel realm. It works itself into a frenzy building on the same chord structure. It just builds interval upon interval without changing much. It repeats and repeats and repeats all along adding more to the orchestration to build the sound up up and away. I think it is pretty cool, but still have to call it what it is.
Bad decision not only destroy future options in life, but they result in tremendous misery manufactured by ourselves, for which we must take the responsibility. The resultant discomfort, misery, and unhappiness may last for a short period or the rest of your life.

A much more telling betrayal of our roots than simply name-dropping ever would give?

It's for the better. The intent of the thread was not to be a repository of name-lists, but rather a peek into deeply-held convictions, etc. etc.

I'm not the one who got upset. Don't you have something better to do than write ridiculous posts? I thought you were busy re-writing Mahler? :P

What I grew up listening to as a kid was Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, so I guess those are my roots.
