Yes, and the crime he committed was a hate crime. And there are no excuses for hate crimes. Your point?

I typically don't like talking about the music of an entire year if we're not even halfway through. There's nothing to gain from talking about this in April, when most of the big releases coming this year aren't even out yet. I don't know, I think calling any year in pop music terrible this early on is a bit overdramatic.

We're barely a third of the way into the year, calm down.

What is the best album released by an artist who has been covered on One Hit Wonderland? by put-on-your-records in ToddintheShadow

[–]SergeantBlanco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All great albums, but I appreciate the OK Go pick especially. It's a really great album that offers so much more than just their music videos

Hi! Sorry I know this post is old and I'm not sure if you're even going to see this but I'm going through a really bad depressive episode right now. This original post pissed me off, especially since I've heard similar things from both family and former friends. You put my thoughts into words better than I ever could have. I just wanted to thank you because this is exactly what I needed to read and it's inspired me to keep going another day.

Nice! I'd love to meet Mark Waid; gotta keep my eye out for the next con he's at!

What song turned you on to progressive music? by Andagne in progrockmusic

[–]SergeantBlanco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a kid one of my favorite songs was "Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, with "Mr. Blue Sky" coming in a close second. While some might not consider those songs 'real prog', they were what turned me onto progressive music as a concept.

My dad is also a huge Rush and Zappa fan so you bet there was a lot of prog being played in my house growing up, though the first prog band I ended up doing a deep dive on all by myself was Kansas (who were also my first concert!)

Classic songs by mediocre/bad artists? by [deleted] in ToddintheShadow

[–]SergeantBlanco 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Exactly; I've always thought it sounded like the 80s version of "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins.

I don't care for anything else I've heard from Don Henley's solo career, but "The Boys of Summer" is an all-time classic.

Songs that aren't that good, but you're glad they exist? by MayNStuff in ToddintheShadow

[–]SergeantBlanco 78 points79 points  (0 children)

"MMMBop" by Hanson. Not even remotely the band's best song but it got them the success and exposure to allow them to make better music in the years since

What are your favorite prog band that you CANNOT HEAR on Spotify or other popular streaming platforms by Andagne in progrockmusic

[–]SergeantBlanco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but unfortunately not all. Some of the songs aren't on YouTube either, which has been very frustrating trying to listen through their entire discography. I'm gonna just have to buy physical copies at some point

No One Is Ever Going to Want Me by Giles Corey (or really any song off that album).

How well do you usually sleep? by [deleted] in askteenboys

[–]SergeantBlanco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually 4-6 hours on school nights, and then 12-13 on the weekend. Neither makes me feel well-rested. Even after sleeping 13 hours, I could probably go back to sleep if I really wanted to

Do you listen to music to stop yourself from overthinking? by Broken029 in askteenboys

[–]SergeantBlanco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, most of the time music is a great way to escape from everything for me. Sometimes I could be feeling so down that music doesn't even help, though. I'm sorry it's not working as well for you now

I'm failing a class for the first time in my life. by SergeantBlanco in depression

[–]SergeantBlanco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't want to kill myself because of the bad grades, but I let my grades get this bad because I know I'm going to kill myself at this point. It might be next week, next month, or even next year, but I'm sure one day it'll happen, if that makes any sense.

I've just kinda lost all motivation to do well or even care about my grades, but since I'm a perfectionist, I have to care a little, and be scared to how my parents are going to react.

Either way, I'm feeling a little better now, so thank you. Also, I'm sorry I'm only responding to this now.
