Reply to Lyrics or the music? by meganelizabethjade

The music has to be good before I pay attention to the lyrics. A song can still be good even if the lyrics aren't that great, however, a song could have the greatest lyrics ever written but if the music isn't good, it's still a bad song.

Reply to Which of the Rolling Stones albums is the greatest? and why? by Moving_in_stereo78

My faves in order would be...

  1. Let it Bleed

  2. Beggar's Banquet

  3. Exile on Main St.

  4. Sticky Fingers

  5. Some Girls

  6. Get Yer Ya-ya's out!

Almost all their other albums have at least 2 or 3 great songs and the rest is filler. I love most of Satanic Majesties but most people don't like it much. Hot Rocks is a great compilation of their early stuff but I don't know if that's on Spotify.

Reply to The most life-changing song you've listened to by anywayyyy3

The original recording of Clair De Lune from 1913 actually played by the composer Claude Debussy might be the most beautiful piece of music ever written.

Water Get No Enemy-Fela Kuti. I think the first 1:20 is the purest musical expression of joy I've ever heard.

Have You Ever Been ( to Electric Ladyland?)-Jimi Hendrix. It's so short but so amazing. I hear something new every time I hear it.

Computer Love-Kraftwerk. This song proved early on that electronic music can have feeling even if the band looks like robots.

Sometimes-My Bloody Valentine. Saw this in a previous comment. Couldn't agree more. It's like being engulfed in a warm blanket of sound.

Not Great Men and At Home He's A Tourist-Gang of Four. This band was life changing for me. These 2 songs epitomize their raw, primitive power.

Jesus Children of America-Stevie Wonder. This song literally saved my life. Not because it's about Jesus, but because it sounds like heaven!
