I'm 51, so I'm oldstyle, therefore I would suggest looking for radio stations that play the type of music you like, if you want to find more of the same kind.

If you really want to expand beyond the genre(s) you currently listen to, another thing could be to look for "best of"-lists in different genres, to see if there's something in there you like.

That's wild.

The method they choose doesn't really matter though. As soon as somebodies' rights or their position in society are based on what race they are, that's racist by definition.

That sounds about right. In any case, the very first point alone is basically racism. Any kind of opinion along the lines of "one race has more rights than another" is.

What you describe is the big elephant in the room nobody of these fools want to address. If we take their own rules and use them on everything then we could make an arguments like:

• No non-european human being is allowed to play classical music from a few hundred years ago because it was invented there, not in Africa, not in Asia, not on the American continent.

• Should people not originating from a certain continent be prohibited to wear clothes that were invented on another continent? What about the usage of computers, which weren't invented in Africa but in Europa and the USA, basically?

I read that it happened at home, but that doesn't make anything better, imho. For something important like that, there should be a dedicated machine that is used for nothing else.

And if the employee really used the same password twice, given the company they work for, that would be unbelievably stupid.

Read about that before... I wonder who the moron was that allowed an employee to install a totally unnecessary software on a machine of such importance...

Ah, I see what you mean, misunderstood you, so sorry for that.

I agree, had the Beatles not been there, somebody else would've stepped up. But if they would have had the same impact on culture and music recording technology is an unanswerable question.

I would strongly disagree. And it sounds to me as if you have not much knowledge about what they actually did. As others here have pointed out, they were very much on the front when it came to experimenting with new technologies and different ways to create sound. And even if there were other bands (of course there were others), most of them do not come even close to the impact the Beatles had.

None of us who didn't live in that time can fully grasp how important the Beatles were. Their songs not being "all that interesting" is a viewpoint under todays' standards where just about everything has been done before. A few things of what the Beatles did had simply never been done before.

Sorry, but I don't think your argument makes any sense.

That other bands would've figured out the same sound is a) not a given, and b) irrelevant. That would be like saying Nicola Tesla gets too much credit because eventually somebody else would've had the same ideas as he.

The studios would probably just start to milk other cows / well known franchises.

Exactly. The only difference today is that everybody is able to shout "louder" than before when they could just talk to their friends.

Because people think, just because the have an audience of potentially millions, that alone makes their opinion in any way relevant. They mix up reach with relevancy, so to say.

Btw, at the same time you have to accept that everybody has different tastes, and therefore, there certainly will be people who don't like Gal Gadot. Which is perfectly fine, as long as they don't expect that everybody else dislikes her, just because they do. And it goes the other way round as well. ;-)

"Random acts of senseless violence". I have never re-read it, but that is precisely because it would be too painful for me to follow the protagonist, knowing what happens to (or with) her.

Oh, of course! Thanks for the correction! I mixed up the title with one of the songs, as "The Show must go on" was so prominent back then. I also didn't know exactly which songs on "made in heaven" were "new" and which were older stuff, though I assumed that they chose "I was born to love you" for example was chosen because he could not sing enough songs.

Thanks for the clarification. Very interesting. I didn't know that many details about it. I really should check if there is some kind of official biography available. Though I guess many of these juicy details would be left out intentionally. :-)

Edit: "The Chain" is one of the many songs from them I really like.

That sounds a bit like one of the Albums by Black Sabbath I read about where they had their own dealer to bring them all kinds of drugs each day. Plus more groopies than they could handle, apparently. :-D

Due to some accident the police went by one day, and they panicked and flushed all the stuff down the toilet, only to notice that the police hadn't come for them. One bandmember said that they flushed away drugs worth several thousand dollars in a few minutes.

One mustn't forget "Made in heaven" by Queen. Freddy Mercurys health had deteriorated already with the former album "The show must go on", but with Heaven he was rather close to death. I guess one could say that he worked like a maniac and gave his last breath for his fans. That he still was able to give us so many great songs is both breathtaking and heartbreaking.

If I remember correctly, it took the rest of the band one or two years until they were able to work on the album and release it, due to the loss of their lifelong friend.

Edit: There are some incorrect infos on my part, so be sure to check the following message. My bad, sorry.

Sounds crazy, but typical for a band of this area. I would love to read that article.

Fleetwood Macs' "Rumours".

As far as I know, there were several broken (or breaking?) relationships in the band around that time, and that turmoil went into a few of the songs. Like "Go your own way", written by Lindsey Buckingham over his broken relationship with Stevie Nicks. Or "Don't stop" written by Christine McVie, concerning her separation from her former husband John McVie. At least that is how I remember it.

I really like the style.

Would "Skunk Anansie" fit into that category?

I think I would make a horror story out of it, like, that this happened in a society where each and every physical altercation is strongly forbidden and results in capital punishment. And it is to be executed as soon as Smith has left the venue and everyone around him including himself, knows that.

Edit: I mean, I kinda like the OPs' idea, but the stakes in that scenario aren't high enough for me to make it truly interesting.

"Mercy Street" by Peter Gabriel.

Sure, send it over if you're done. It's always nice to find new music.

The Rock had the additional benefit of (potentially) showing us an older James Bond. I don't know if that rumor has been proven or disproven meanwhile, but I don't care. I just imagine that it's true. :-D

Not only speech impediment, but also a serious case of depression, often times, imho.
