Honestly, the thread made me put Aja back on. It's alright.
No! You're supposed to put on Atomizer!
Kory is probably more egregious as he's a more serious musician, but our musician backgrounds do result in us listening to and enjoying music that we would have otherwise probably not gotten into.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

And when that results in Steely Dan, I look upon your musicianliness as a dire curse.

An observation: "King of Pain" by The Police is still a decent song, but those lyrics are dorm-room philosophy cringe. One of many reasons to want to punch Sting in the nose.
Synchronicity II is the best song of that era, my favourite Police song.
I still quite like that album in its entirety—I’m one of, like, nine people who genuinely love the spluttering nonsense of “Mother”—but Sting’s Stingness (like Morrissey’s Morrisseyness) is something I have to filter out.
Both insufferable assholes.

I had a short-lived Steely Dan period (like 2 days) a couple months ago, but I have a hard time with DF's voice. My biggest sin as far as this group is concerned is probably liking Yes, ELP, Gabriel-era Genesis, etc.

New Scowl EP announced and lead music video dropped today. For my moneym, this is the greatest fucking band on the planet right now:
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Pex Lives!

This is pretty great.
My absolute #1 most hated band
We reach the parts other combos cannot reach
We beach the beachheads other armies cannot beach
We speak the tongues other mouths cannot speak
