Many a times i see random song recommendations on my feed. Those are usually their most popular songs. I love that song so much that i decide to look up other music. But in a row all their other songs disappoint. I'm not very impatient or pessimistic so i decide to wait for their new release. If that too disappoints, i more than often give up for good. Ever happened with y'all? Which song? Which artist? Do you have any hopes or you've totally given up?
Tysm!
Obviously there are artists which have their debut as their greatest work (Guns N' Roses, Nas, Wu-Tang Clan) but for the majority of the music it isn't the case. I personally prefer to listen in chronological order, even if it means to listen to some mediocre stuff too. In my opinion in that way you could see the artist evolve and grow artistically in different directions, especially more experimental acts like Radiohead, Autechre, Swans, Bjork, David Bowie. Probably it isn't the same with more straightforward bands but i guess any album is worth a listen. What's your opinion? Do you think there are artists/bands discographies that are better to listen in chronological order?
I've been thinking about this lately, and how some artists use their albums to tell a story.
I first thought of this when listening to "Brave New Girl" by Britney Spears, and thought it could've been a Glee montage when Rachel Berry gets to NY.
I feel like there could be a pretty cool movie/musical to Taylor Swift's albums, and definitely a lot of other artists. Probably would need a minimum of 10 songs, if not more for it truly tell a story based on the artists work.
Also, who you guys cast in this movie/musical?
A week 12 match up against Detroit could provide a juicy opportunity (depending on game script) for Guice to take us to the holy land.
The lions currently clock in as the 24th worst defense against the run and are giving up the most fantasy points to RB's in the league.
The sample size is small but Guice was able to turn water into wine last week with 24 yards on 7 carries (bad) and ripped a 40+ yard touchdown off a screen pass (good). Adrien Peterson only had 25 yards on 9 carries for comparison, although he got the start.
So with bye weeks still plaguing your teams, is anyone else planning on rolling him out this week? Personally, I'm praying for a resurrection of my playoff chances.
Praise be to our lord Derrius Guice. Amen.
edit: AD is down, Guice hath risen 🙏
I listen to Iron Maiden since i can remember i listen to music, but i had never listened all of their albums until now. I will do the classic "worst to best" with some notes about it:
16 - No Prayer for the Dying - I remember listening to this a lot when i was younger, it was really good but... Would be better if this had stayed in my memory. It's not a complete shit, "No Prayer for the Dying" is nice, bring you daughter to the slaughter is enjoyable, but the others, as much as i listen to it gets worse.
15 - Virtual XI - This was new to me, but not exactly a good experience. The Clansman is amazing, Futureal is nice, Como Estais Amigo and When Two Worlds Collide are not bad. But the rest is shit to me, i just can't understand The Angel and The Gambler, how do all the band and the team listened to this and said "this is good", it's IMPOSSIBLE to listen the entire song! The others are just... not good. At least the cover art is incredible, one of my favorites.
14 - The X Factor - Other new experience. If i had one word to describe it, it will be "dark". The lyrics, the songs, the Blaze Bayley voice, all of this is just... dark. I enjoyed it, but not so much. Sign of the Cross is one of the best maiden songs, the others are not bad, just forgettable.
13 - Fear of the Dark - This, as NPFTD, was better in my memory. Fear of the Dark (song) is amazing, Be Quick or Be Dead and Afraid to Shoot Strangers are good too, the rest is forgettable or really bad.
12 - Killers - Don't kill me, please, i know this is an unpopular opinion, but i really don't like it so much. New experience, never listened to before (except for 2 or 3 songs), i just think it's a more generic version of the first album, but more repetitive and boring.
11 - The Final Frontier - Now the good stuff begin. Other new experience, but a surprise. A really good album, especially "When the Wild Wind Blows", this is a masterpiece. It would be higher on the list if it had more "highlights", it's a bit forgettable, except for the last song and El Dorado, it didn't catch me so much. But, still a very good album.
10 - Book of Souls - Really hard choice. I listened to this when it launched, and my opinion remains the same. Very good album, it has a song that is on top 5 best maiden songs (Empire of the Clouds), and others that are amazing, like If Eternity Should Fail, Book of Souls and Speed of Light. The others are good too. The hard step of putting this on the 10th position is that, i really love

Mine: Fan Base:
- Vengeance Falls 1. Shogun
- Shogun 2. Ascendancy
- Sin and the Sentence 3. Ember to Inferno
- Ascendancy 4. The Crusade
- Silence in the Snow 5. Sin and the Sentence
- In Waves 6. In Waves
- The Crusade 7. Vengeance Falls
- Ember to Inferno 8. Silence in the Snow
For me personally it's rare that if i like a bands music i actually delve into their solo stuff because to be honest, 90% of the time it does not even come close to the original band but with something as auteured and finely polished as Steely Dan i should have figured i would not be dissapointed so recently i listened to The Nightfly by Donald Fagen and it just sounds like a fantastic continuation on the Steely Dan sound, his other solo albums are great too but that one in specific is just like an additional Steely Dan album to delve into so if you haven't yet, please listen to this album.

Hello bottoms and connoisseur of Good Pop Music
In this very special installment of this continuous series, we're gonna be ranking the work of r/Pophead's Mother Dragon, the one and only Carly Rae Jepsen, in preparation for her upcoming AMA here on our own very homosexual subreddit and the release of her upcoming 4th studio album, both happening on May 17th
If you wanna participate you just have to rate from 0-10 the Carly's tracks included in the Google Form featured below that I created for the specific purpose of this ranking.
This list includes all of her songs officially released from her studio albums (including bonus tracks) and some other loose releases here and there, including collaborations, covers and soundtrack appearances:

- Curiosity EP (2012)
- Kiss (2012)

The ranking will be open to vote until midnight EST from May 16th (yes, that's two days from now), and the results would be revealed on the morning of May 17th. Doing the ranking requires you to sign up with your Google account (don't worry, both your email and your username will be safe)...
