Listened to Billie Jean while cleaning, wondered what the all time playlist might be.

I imagine Kanye, Clapton, Pink Floyd, James Brown, Ike Turner all make the cut with MJ but I’m curious what Lemmy comes up with!

Definitely Chris Brown. Also, the rapper who continued his concert while people suffocated to death in the crowd. I forgot his name.

Sinnead O’Connor was absolutely right to rip up the pope’s picture.

God, my parents have a bunch of those and I loved listening to them as a kid. I can’t play then any more.

You can with a twist.

“You ever get up and go into a room… only to forget why you went in there….”

After he says “But as soon you sit down you remember… something something button”

Throw out “Unless it’s because you’ve been drugged by Cosby”

Lostphrophets. Quite a few bangers, but it was revealed that Ian Watkins is a turbo-pedo. He’s now in prison, and the rest of the bandmembers formed a new band, wanting nothing to do with him or the old bandname.

A few years ago I saw a guy at a music festival with a big old Lostprophets tattoo across his upper back. Poor bastard.

One extra awful thing about Ian Watkins (from South Wales) is that the singer “H” from Steps is also called Ian Watkins and is also from South Wales and because the tabloids at the time didn’t do and due diligence and the published his photo along with the story resulting in significant repercussions H, I think someone even graffitid his front door and received death threats.

And the first album is gone. Just deleted from existence. I really liked that album. But my god. The depravity of that man.

Not on the Swedish Spotify. Geo locking is a thing.

That’s not the same at all. I get why you might say that, but not only was it not the singer, but the crimes involved were worlds apart in depravity, and static-x was still together after.

Seriously, comparing damn near anyone to Watkins is a tough thing. That dude was beyond fucked up and into the deep end of sheer evil. But the rest of it isn’t similar enough to draw the comparison.

I guess I’m too young to know why Pink Floyd is morally questionable?

It likely has more to do with Roger Water’s statements about Ukraine and Israel than anything Pink Floyd itself is about.

Roger Waters is a conservative antisemitic shitass, the rest are cool as far as I’m aware. I certainly havent let it stop me from enjoying pink floyd, though I have more trouble separating the art from the artist in other situations (lookin at you JK Rowling)

Conservative? I think you should check your own ass for shit since you’ve got it exactly backward.

Conservative? Last concert I saw with him he was liberal AF. On what do you base his conservatism?

PF (Gilmour et al) is conservative enough…rich old white dudes.
