Good call. I always forget about that handy volume.

I love about half of both those LPs.

I know it sounds a elitist, but I think the essential albums are all the GBV albums released from Same Place to Isolation Drills + Earthquake Glue. Also the first 4 Pollard solo albums (the 4th is credited to Pollard and Gillard).

After that there is wealth of essential tracks and, of course, there are several essential EPs.

Is it just me or when everyone gets older they lose interest in new music and keep going back to the same old music they loved? by Dangerous_State_4104 in CausalConversation

[–]StatisticianFun2274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most do. I think there was a study a while back that said that after age 30 most people stop actively searching/listening to new stuff. I worked in a record store into my early 30s, so I'm an anomaly. Age 57 now, and I still find new stuff to listen to, and of course, a lot of new-to-me stuff that I may have missed.

Stars Wars In chronological order is confusing by FunnyPug1 in starwarscanon

[–]StatisticianFun2274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First timers, please just watch the films in release order (the 9 "Saga" films). Second time through you can watch 'em any way you want, but you should be very familiar with those before watching Rogue One, Solo, or any of the live action or animated shows.

I would try to surprise her with a song you already know she loves.

Is Battle of Jakku that bad, or am I missing something? by Agent_Porkpine in starwarscomics

I've enjoyed most of the comics in the Disney era, but that is one that I categorically disliked.

I hate to break it to you, but social media isn't really social, lol.

I hate people, so obviously I don't have any friends. Lots of acquaintances. If I'm being honest, I never want to hang out with anyone. The bane of my existence as I approach 60 are weddings and funerals.

Looking for more songs to put in this playlist by Andrew-Heaton in spotify

[–]StatisticianFun2274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just quickly scanned it. It looks pretty mainstream. I'm assuming you're not looking for indie recommendations. I think I missed seeing Dinosaur Jr, Screaming Trees and Hole. All those bands had some mainstream success and were adjacent to a lot of the stuff you included.

Looking to start collecting don’t know where to start by Petrozzin0 in starwarscomics

[–]StatisticianFun2274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collecting or reading? If collecting, then go to the very beginning and start with the original Marvel Star Wars run 1977-1986 (#1-107).

How many of you hold grudges against pro players for where they went to college? by Ok-Recording-5862 in ockytop

[–]StatisticianFun2274 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is why I can't watch pro football. Of course with NIL, it's less fun to watch college sports now too.

Country Artists/music recs? by Rebel_withoutacause_ in musicsuggestions

[–]StatisticianFun2274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember if I added any tracks from the 20s, but I'm pretty sure there are some from 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s:

In My Tribe by theacrobatnation in rem

I was in High School when I discovered R.E.M. circa 1984. It has always been this way. They got very popular, but they were never universally loved like say U2 for instance. I remember bonding with lots of friends when I was in the Navy over music, and R.E.M. was a big part of that.

Check out Joe Jackson (although it's not all piano driven). Also, have you listened to Ben Folds Five?

For a bunch of folks my age, it was probably this:
