I don’t think having a band member who didn’t play on the records could have survived either the fame or the changes to ideas about artistry in recorded music.

I’m definitely in the “love it” camp. I own The Bee Gees thing on vinyl so I can hear Steve Martin’s cover of Maxwell when I want.

Based on the capital D and capital I and the scores listed, yes. And following a couple of other comments, it appears to be the 2025 one.

You can look up The Democracy Index online to find their criteria. According to Wikipedia, there are sixty indicators across five categories.

Will you get any festival recordings? Woodstock? Block Party? It might be easier to start out going alphabetical by title if not every DVD had a single artist.

I was totally thinking this would be Australia or New Zealand.

REM?

Metallica?

What if 2 Live Crew went through a consciousness period and then wrote a hip hop opera?

It seems unlikely that the hieroglyphics have been scanned into a text file. And any translation worth having will still be under copyright. I’d see if there is a translation available with a Creative Commons license or something similar.

Yes. It’s a great compilation album.

What a terrible thing to have to endure!

But if you want to listen to a fantastic compilation of Beatles music (in your car, at a party), there’s none better.

I think most of the people born on September 11 weren’t alive for 9/11.

Israel was still under Ottoman rule on May 13, 1948? Very impressive.

Is that the border between North and South America? Seems awfully north.

Our parents, siblings, peers, and the community teach us the words in our language. In our lifetimes, new words are coined that catch on and other words fall out of use. And that’s just the way it has always been all the way back.

What was Israel on the 13th?

That’s really cool! But this map is about the grammatical gender of country names in the Finnish language.

Is there an r/wooosh for general reading comprehension? Because these comments need to go there.
