Also came to say Rush. My love of prog rock love comes more from King Crimson, The Move, early Genesis, Pink Floyd, a little ELP, but even as a Canadian, there was just something I could never get into with Rush. I don't want to argue with Rush fans, but to me, their music just lacks any soul. It's techinically precise which is impressive, but it just doesn't hit me emotionally at all.

Sharon is the absolute worst. That's about it.

Sharron overruled the doctors and said he is a fine cash cow.

Take That-I'd Wait for Life

I'm a huge prog rock/prog metal nerd and have gone through so many bands that had a bit of a spark, but one or 2 nitpicky things about them just didn't do it for me: Opeth, Riverside, Rush, Uriah Heep, Big Big Train, The Pineapple Thief, Ayreon, Anathema, Gazpacho, Bent Knee, the list goes on for miles.

Co-written in a single night by both. So I’d say he’s a credited writer.

Good lyrics are harder to come by than good music, but the best songs always have both in spadefuls. They aren't mutually exclusive but all my go too songs have both

Moonage daydream by Dave B

That's how it's always been. Ticketmaster has been a paid fall guy since the 90s.

The artists take X% of the fees that ticketmaster charges, and ticketmaster gets all the blame. Like the other commenter says: the artists themselves probably have very little to do with these contracts. That doesn't mean they don't know that a) the contract exists and b) they're gonna make money off of it.

Nothing Like You by Frightened Rabbit

I stand corrected—though OG members only. Marky, Richie, and CJ (and Clem) remain.

Anything with juice wrld if you like rap

Oh man, I remember that drama. On the Iron Maiden message board we were having discussions about crowdfunding an ad in the New York Times or something with some self-righteous defence of the band after the incident.

Mercy.

I feel that way about Octopus’ Garden, and will sometimes skip it along with Maxwell’s Stupid Hammer.

Now Octopus is Ringo and I love him so I can forgive him for it because it’s cute like he is.

But I can NEVER forgive Paul for Maxwell!

Amazed, been a Bad Religion fan for 30 years

Walkin' On Sunshine. Don't make it about them, make it about you.

Night Sequels! Dripping House of Blood

The Vandals - Heartbreak Hotel

(it's a bit "stronger" than the Elvis version)

Isn’t it amazing that these guys are in their 60s and 70s and still rocking hard.

Seriously, this concert should be in like a parking lot in Detroit or Cleveland

A festival called Power Trip and no Monster Magnet?

I get what you're saying. If I'm going to play devil's advocate here, I'll just say that most bigger artists aren't all that directly involved with booking their own tours and all the actual administrative stuff that goes along with things like selling tickets. They usually have business managers, road managers, accountants and that kind of thing that figure out the pricing and logisitics. Like, I bet you Ozzy Osborne doesn't know how much tickets to an Ozzy Osborne concert cost.

I guess what I'm saying is that most big (successful) artists spend their time thinking about and creating the art, and they hire people to look after the other aspects of the business of being a musician, so they can focus more of their attention on that.

But you've got to hope that maybe Robert Smith is a big enough name that these types of practices will be brought to the attention of more artists, who may, hopefully, start making decisions that are best for their fans.

The lyrics

Ooops! I screwed up! I meant the transition between Rocket and Soma.

The Streets - A Grand Don’t Come for Free

It is a rap opera and concept album that follows the story of its protagonist's relationship with a girl named Simone, alongside the mysterious loss of £1,000 from his home (the eponymous "grand").
