Really? A streaming service is $10 a month and you get all the music in the world.
I don't believe in Spotify. They rip off artists.
I will always buy the CD or iTunes download.
There quite a few artists who can thank Spotify for leading me to spend money on their vinyl and their shows.
That’s a good point. If I didn’t have the ability to discover them for free, I wouldn’t buy their stuff or seek to see them live.
I agree. I have discovered so much music that I would not have had the money for buiy just buying vinyl/cd's. And I then go to their concerts and do end up buying some of their vinyls etc if I am really into them. I can see where the streaming services can cost artists money, BUT a lot of artists have now embraced the new model and make their money from other resources (touring/social media/merch etc). Very few artists, other than the top tier artists (Ed Sheeran/Adele/Swift etc) , are making big money our of selling physical albums

Judah and the Lion was the biggest let down with their most recent album. I mean Folk Hop was awesome and I expected a lot more from them because of it. I don’t think I have revisited them once since the pep talks release.
Great list though. I need to revisit Chevelle. Haven’t listened to them in forever.

Thats totally fair. I am the same way. But it also explains how people can check out so many albums.
Fair point that you and PJ soul make.
I might try it if I can afford it as there's so much music out there I have never heard.
I believe it's more than $10 per month here in Australia plus data costs to stream.
Storage space for CDs is a problem so streaming then downloading what I love off iTunes or Bandcamp might be the way.
I use Apple Music and in Oz we don't have as many PJ bootlegs available, but there is decent amount
Apple Music is $11.99/Month in Australia. For me, we do a Family subscription, which allows 6 people to have their own access and profiles and that's $17.99/month. I have 3 Teenagers and my wife on it, so that's 5 of us accessing as much music as we like for $18 bucks.
Spotify have the same plans and pricing, but if you sign up now, you get 3 months Individual access for $11.99, then it reverts back to $11.99 per month after that. But there is no contracts, so yo can cancel anytime.

True, but with Spotify (at least) you can temporarily download any album or playlist so that you can listen without using data when you're off wifi.
Indeed. Maybe you can clarify as I'm not sure, but I think this option may only be for Premium subscribers? I've only ever used Spotify when Premium is 99 cents for 3 months.
It can, but I know with Apple Music, you can download heaps of songs onto your phone for use when out of WIFI use. I think it's like 2000 songs at a time that can be stored. I'm pretty sure Spotify is similar

Can someone please break the code for me on Billie Eilish. She was a good guest on Howard Stern. But I have tried to get into her music and I just don’t see the hype. She always seems to be singing without putting in any effort. Like she never belts anything out. It’s more like a mumble whisper type singing. It’s sorta catchy but nothing like a Taylor Swift song. I just don’t get it but I wish her nothing but success.
To me she is the evolution of Radiohead and a regular pop artist. Which is fitting because apparently Thom Yorke is a huge fan. It shouldn't work but it does. On top of that you’ve got these big sounds in the background but a lot of it was recorded in her parents house. Crazy.
I have Apple Music and I have 44.66 GB of music downloaded on my phone. I love Apple Music. I use it at work everyday and it really gets me through the day. Plus if someone recommends something I can download it and check it out. The stuff I really like I buy on vinyl. I don’t have one thing in my house or car that would play a cd. Apple Music just is a bill that we pay month to month without debating over. 15 bucks a month for my family and I to have unlimited music is well worth it.

I don’t hear anything close to Radiohead in her music. I think it’s her whisper singing on every song that just doesn’t click for me. I like the roller coaster that a singer can take you on with their vocals. Her singing is like a monotone teacher giving a lecture on the greenness of lettuce. The music is catchy and I like her attitude. Like I said, I’ve tried but it doesn’t catch my ear. Maybe I just need to get super baked and listen with green ears.
Well it may never click but at least you’re giving her a fair shake.
Music needed her. Im glad theres an 18 yr old massively popular singer who blends all these genres and doesn't dress like a slut. The creativity is nice to follow. Gives me hope for the future of music lol.

I think they mean that it’s nice to see her get fame on the merits of her art not the size of her chest and butt. Sex sells a lot of shitty music. If I’m speaking out of place, I apologize sincerely.

Didn't Dave Grohl compare her to Kurt Cobain?
I think she's actually 16 years old.
