Totally normal stuff. All of the top 5 are from the top artists.

No surprises here on the bands list, though Bad Religion came home with a wet sail as I went through their entire catalogue while I was reading a book about them.
The songs are the first 5 songs on my kids play list, so that gets a workout more so the the hundreds of tracks in mine.

Surprised I had that much Weird Al on the list. Generally I have to be in a certain mood for that.
Not sure I ever thought Iâd have David Crosby on my list. Or Thundercat. I guess modern takes on Yacht Rock are my thing these days.
F*anny was my new discovery this year. Four women who played some pretty balls out early 70s rock and did some terrific Cream and Beatles covers. They had a German TV performance that kept coming up in my YouTube feed.
All the Men at Work was me rediscovering the album cuts on Business as Usual which I havenât heard since I was a little kid.
Iâm sure anyone who knows me is thinking âWhereâs the Rush?â. Honestly itâs just too sad to listen to them now. One day. Plus Spotify for me is about finding obscure things I donât already know about.

Donât have Spotify. Wonât ever use Spotify.
Donât get me wrong. I love music and play selections in the office for 8 hours every day. A breakdown of that would be interesting to me.
However, Spotifyâs business model is based on utterly screwing the artists. Orders of magnitude worse than any record label ever did (and they did plenty of screwingâŚ) As long as that continues to be the case, Iâll have nothing to do with it.
Iâve got my records and CDâs, and yes even digital files. I have some means of discovering new music. These serve me just fine.
And if I miss out on something because I donât have some fkg algorithm telling me what I might like, well I donât think my world will spin off its axisâŚ

Agree with you. Itâs definitely a âdirtyâ way to consume music.
My buddy has told me of another platform that he uses, and it had a much nicer interface, and Artist info. But I donât know what it was called.
Been binging on mid-period Beatles, so no surprise there.
Very surprised Fleet Foxes figured so prominently.

yes baakkeerrrr we all know that all ceos maliciously exploit those who actually create the products and services their companies place so much value on, but thereâs other threads for magniloquent soliloquies against capitalism.
this thread is for stuff like wondering when the fk âbeatlesqueâ became a genre
A whole lotta grunge.
And almost the same amount of time on The Dollop podcast. Highly recommend.
Edit: why wonât my phone post the fancy picture like you all have?
Bandcamp is a good app/website for the artists. Users can buy digital copies of albums (as well as physical cds/lps, merch etc).
