Double recommendation here:

1.) You young'uns probably don't know Supertramp. Catch up.

2.) This YT channel is my new favorite lunchtime watch! She analyzes vocal technique (something I know ZERO about) and how it interconnects with the lyrics, emotion, the rest of the song's elements. But the real joy is watching her react to a song for the first time as she steps through it.

Watching her absorb Supertramp's constantly unexpected, wonderfully unique pizzazz while appreciating the singer's heartfelt storytelling is a blast.

I've loved this song for DECADES but it's really cool to appreciate it in a new way from her more technical perspective and her own in-the-moment emotional reactions.

Breakfast in America... one of my favourite albums. I put in on my 11 yr old son's mp3 player. He loves it

When I was in middle school, my neighbor was my age but had WAY older brothers. We'd listen to their albums (actual records) for HOURS. Made such a huge impression on me. As a result I basically have the same classic rock tastes as 50-60yr olds!

Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Frampton, Clapton.

One more:

Girl HAD NEVER HEARD "BLACK" BEFORE!!

She's enthusiastic-ish enough in the beginning, but in kind of a polite (i.e. not mind blown) way. And then the raw, furious crescendos hit at the end and she's like, "Holy shit!" 🤯

Eddie Vedder is a force.

Love EV!

Was stoked seeing the SuperTramp one, Soooooooo stoked you put this in the thread - one of my favs, so cool to see "why" it's so bad ass. She's fun and smart, dig it!

Eddie Vedder is just so intense.

I watched this one today and cried along with her:

As a former choir boy, she's a joy to watch. It's really hilarious how she's gotten into metal in the last little while Because fans keep recommending her that kind of music.

🤣 Haven't seen any of those breakdowns yet!

My audio consumption has become 100% podcasts and it's so easy to just relegate music into the background. It's really nice to re-engage deeply with some of these incredible songs. I somehow kinda forgot how powerful they can be.

Epic.

Advice: spin the vinyl, side one.....or play it digital (if u must), windows down on a sunny drive

1972-1982 was 🔥 too many great albums to count
