What OP??? Is this a troll thread?

Fleetwood Mac and Pearl Jam you can’t name anything by? Nothing?

by Anonymousreply 5April 18, 2021 5:21 PM

Bad Bhabie, Dr. Dre, Rihanna, Lil Peep, Julia Michaels, Taylor Swift. I consider these artists garish in nature, not because of race, but simply by lack of talent.

by Anonymousreply 6April 18, 2021 5:22 PM

Really OP, you don't know any Fleetwood Mac songs?

It may be a generational thing. I dont expect old queens here to know any Drake songs.

The only reason I know a song by Ariana Grande is because I shazammed "Into You" at the gym

I'm 29, which explains why I don't know the musicians I listed above: FM, PJ and 2Pac were popular before my time while Miss Grande Latte hit it big around the same time I stopped caring about the mass-produced Hot 100 crap. I also couldn't care less about 70s rock music and 90s rap so I never bothered checking out the music by those people.

Mariah Carey, just no, a complete blank.

I can't name a single song from Judy Garland.

by Anonymousreply 19April 18, 2021 5:50 PM

Even someone in their 20s should be familiar with a few Fleetwood Mac songs, they're still played all the time.

by Anonymousreply 20April 18, 2021 5:51 PM

I know some songs by current pop stars like Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande, but I couldn't tell you the proper titles of any of their songs. I just hear them in places like the gym and standing in line at various retail places.

Call me a Mary but I literally let out a loud gasp when I read R19's reply.

Cardi B. I know who she is and kinda a like her but can’t name a single song. I can for Lizzo tho

Oh yeah but that’s more of a duet. But yeah.

by Anonymousreply 26April 18, 2021 6:01 PM

Lizzo seems like a cool person and I respect any entertainer from Detroit where I grew up, but I just can't get into her music. Her vocals sound like speaking and her songs are too generic and forgettable.

by Anonymousreply 27April 18, 2021 6:51 PM

Beyoncé and/or Jay-Z

by Anonymousreply 28April 18, 2021 6:58 PM

Lizzo is a borderline novelty act. I like "Juice," though.

Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand.

I have a vague idea who they are but have never heard of them outside of DL.

by Anonymousreply 31April 18, 2021 7:06 PM

Why do people wear their cultural ignorance as if it's some badge of honor? Frank Sinatra, Buddy Holly, and Glenn Miller were well before my time, but I can name at least one of each of their songs.

I know some people who just don't like music. They don't own any or listen to it in their free time, just talk radio.

by Anonymousreply 34April 18, 2021 8:01 PM

Why do you keep writing Ariana Grande Latte? Is there a drink called a Grande Latte? I don't drink coffee.

To know songs by these artists you have to listen to the radio. Radio is all corporate now so you have to listen to what the big labels and the radio corporations decide you'll listen to. I really can't listen to it so there's gaps in my knowledge. I know songs by the current artists I like.

I don't even know 80% of the singers TMZ writes about everyday that are all famous from Spotify/Pandora/Youtube and Tik Tok

Sean P. "Puff Daddy, P. Diddy," Combs

by Anonymousreply 37April 19, 2021 4:11 PM

R31 -- Take a listen to Barbra's 'The Way We Were', it's one of the great songs of the late 1960s. A friend of mine was tripping on acid and I was completely greened out on pot, we had an amazing moment together hearing that song in an alternate headspace. They knew what they were doing back then.

Drake, Cardi B., Megan thee Stallion, Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Nas X, any Kpop group for sure. I am looking at the current "Hot 100" and I have not heard of over half these people...Olivia Rodrigo, Silk Sonic, Rod Wave, etc.

I like The Weeknd, and can tolerate Kali Uchis, Doja Cat, and Dua Lipa. Unfortunately I know some of Billie Eilish's music (horrid). But mostly I stay blissfully ignorant of what passes for popular music now.

by Anonymousreply 40April 19, 2021 5:00 PM

r40 the artists you listed are good examples of disposable acts who will most likely be gone within three years. That's what the music business is now. It's mostly producer-driven now, artists are secondary and have a short shelf life. We're never going to see another Madonna or Prince anytime soon.

Honest to god I thought Dua Lipa was trans when I first became aware of her. She is one harsh-looking gal!
