Bubblegum bass is really similar to hyperpop to the point that many people confuse the two genres, it is not as heavy as glitchcore but it is still worth checking out.

Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull is a prog "concept album" about how prog concept albums suck. Everything, from the vinyl sleeve from the album title to the lyrics is basically a gigantic meta/self-aware joke. The album was created as a response to critics thinking that Aqualung was a concept album.

What's really funny is that Jethro Tull would go over and release their first and only actual concept album just one year later.

One of my favourites from the band! The Rain Song in particular is amazing.

I think that they, like many other bands, don't play just a single genre. Steely Dan has played jazz, jazz rock, yatch rock, jazz fusion, crossover prog (kinda?), jazz pop, blues rock and many other genres. There's a debate if they're more rock than jazz or viceversa but personally, I find them to be both.

I think you hit the nail here: a lot of people here in this thread think that I don't like the """"uncomfortable"""" song topics, the melodrama or the character, and I don't think that's the case. The problem is the connection. She's a great artist, but I can't connect to her.

It's not exactly the song topics, I listen to songs andg genres that deal with way worse topics. It's something about the general vibe of her...

I actually listened to an album of her (because it was in the list of 1001 to listen before you die) and some spare songs from other albums. Not my cup of tea.

That's perfectly fine, music is an art and art is largely subjective, of course everyone will have different opinions on this.

True

Funny, I think the thing I like about Enya the most is exactly that uncanniness. It's like a voice and a melody outside of this world.

Wait, hold on, she's a nepo baby? I didn't know that. Which of her relatives is famous?

Yeah, I do agree that her music definitely has a bit of that energy.

A lot lol. Björk, Rosalía, Tina Turner, Suzie Quatro, Siouxsie Sioux, Queen Latifah, Ariana Grande, Lingua Ignota, Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston, Julieta Venegas, Natalia Lafourcade, Mon Laferte, Mercedes Sosa, Taylor Swift, Debbie Harry, Cindy Lauper, Hope Sanodval (Mazzy Star), SOPHIE, Charlie XCX, Ann and Nancy Wilson (Heart), Aretha Franklin, a lot of symphonic metal vocalists...

The fact that you want to accuse me, a woman who suffered from sexism, of being sexist is mind boggling.

I actually like Coca Cola, but that line... cringy as fuck

I wouldn't insult her fans like that, everyone has different tastes. One of my friends is a big fan of Lana and she's super nice, she even acknowledges that some of her lyrics are a bit cringe.

Rosalía, I had only heard her collaborations with reggaeton artists I don't like until I listened to her three albums. Now I'm a fan, and hell, her reggaeton songs that aren't collaborations are actually pretty good!

Mr. Bungle by Mr. Bungle. I inherited this album on CD from my uncle who is a fan of Faith No More. I knew Patton had made some weird shit (hello Fantômas) but this album blew my mind. It really shows you how wacky and bizarre metal can get.

Casey Jones by the Grateful Dead!
