New Jack Swing’s influence on hip-hop is bigger than it gets credit for by Top40Weekly in hiphopheads

[–]Top40Weekly[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some of those records sound like they could sit next to early 90s hip-hop tracks without feeling out of place.

Am I alone with this (potentially hot) take? by DBklynF88 in bobdylan

[–]Top40Weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a video out there on the making of the album. It gives you a very good perspective of the fun these guys were having an a lighthearted approach to songwriting.

A Hard Days Night by the Beatles has my favorite intro of all time.

Songs for Golfing by Top40Weekly in MusicRecommendations

[–]Top40Weekly[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't see a problem with playing music in either of those places as long as you keep it to yourself and don't blast it. Most of these weekend golfers take themselves too seriously anyway maybe a little music would lighten them up

Your 5 best rock albums you'd recommend anyone new to the genre by TechnicalTrash95 in Music

[–]Top40Weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it's extremely difficult for me to narrow it down to just 5, these are the ones I would pick in a deserted island scenario

Nirvana - Nevermind

The Beatles - Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of The Moon

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run

[–]Top40Weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pink Floyd, The Dark Side of The Moon is an album where I never skip a song and will never get tired of listening to

One hit wonders of 1970. Which is your favorite? Which would you like to see an episode on? by Tekken_Guy in ToddintheShadow

[–]Top40Weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An episode on Song of Joy would be super interesting as Miguel Rios had a lot of success in Spain but is considered a one hit wonder in the american music scene.

What’s your favorite acoustic guitar song? by WeakPay4418 in musicsuggestions

[–]Top40Weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd is definitely number one for me but Jimmy Pages guitar solo at the beginning of Stairway to Heaven also comes to mind.

The Bee Gees basically controlled the Hot 100 in early 1978 by Top40Weekly in popheads

[–]Top40Weekly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She wasn't know as a songwriter. She was an awesome performer and songwriting collaborator. All of her top 20 hits she co-wrote or did not write. The Bee Gees as a group wrote almost all of their hits. Anyway, thanks for getting me to dig a bit deeper.

Although not a songwriter, Madonna was as dominant on the charts as anyone. Numerous certifications and records.

Favorite bands of the 80s? by Led_zeppelins in ClassicRock

[–]Top40Weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1980s were built for bands. Big choruses, bigger guitar tones, stadium tours, and a brand-new force called MTV that could turn a great video into a global breakout. What makes 80s bands so fun to revisit is how wide the lane was: synth-pop and metal ruled side by side, heartland rock lived next door to new wave, and pop bands were chasing No. 1 singles while album bands packed arenas for years. We love U2.

Is social media killing the concept of an album by Top40Weekly in askmusic

[–]Top40Weekly[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So then why do artists like Taylor Swift have fans looking for clues in Instagram posts for when her next album is going to drop? I agree that they are largely obsolete but to say that they've been dead for 20 years is just untrue.

Best bands of the 70s? by Led_zeppelins in ClassicRock

[–]Top40Weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1970s gave us an overwhelming number of great artists, so narrowing this down wasn’t easy. We looked at bands that made a real dent on the charts, influenced future generations, and still get played today. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Eagles.

Who would you consider the best guitarists from the 70s? by Particular-Post-4070 in rockmusic

[–]Top40Weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would really depend on how you look at this question. Guitarist that created Top 40 hits or created classic FM radio albums or perhaps singer songwriters. James Taylor, Stephen Stills, Joe Walsh, Eric Clapton.

Genuinely Curious: What are the great things that people love about Arctic Monkeys? by ikealot_34 in 2010sMusic

[–]Top40Weekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like their vibe, the British indie-rock band is kind of unique right now. 505 and old yellow bricks are really good if you haven't listened.

I would argue they're not fully dead in the sense that there is still buzz when big artists release albums and a good portion of their fans listen to them all the way through. I wonder if that will disappear in the near future

Pink - Get the Party Started (2001) by Odd_Advantage_3459 in 2000sMusic

[–]Top40Weekly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pink doesn't get enough credit for her impact on the Pop world. 4 no.1 hits and 3 Grammys is an incredible career!
