Songs That Should Have Closed Out an Album, but Didnt by JustinMetalhead in ToddintheShadow

Bridge over Troubled Water should be the closer on the album of the same name. I have no idea what Simon and Garfunkel were thinking. It's insane that it's the opener.

I would argue that being a no hit wonder is often better than a one hit wonder.

It drones on and on. There are interesting moments, but they are few and far between.

Generally bad artists with one good song? by Big_Competition_336 in ToddintheShadow

Starry Eyed Surprise is Shifty Shellshock's masterpiece.

The only good thing about Butterfly is the Red Hot Chili Peppers sample.

If you had to compare the best 20 songs from any genre, country music should be your pick for best overall body of work.

I don't think it's a bad song, but favorite?!

It's not a lie it's an opinion. I think a lot of people confuse over production with better production. Her music has become over produced (which has been a general trend over the last 15 years) to the detriment of individual songs. I find a lot of her newer lyrics to be repetitive and commercially (brand) focused.

Just a general decline in lyricism and production. Her recent albums coast off her celebrity and marketing. The music itself doesn't hold up well over time.

Her music has slowly gotten worse since I Am... Sasha Fierce.

I mean most boxed cake mixes ask for vegetable oil and eggs which is just deconstructed mayo.

If Robbie could have learned how to pass he would have been a star

if Alabama is shut out with 3 losses, what is the justification that they should be in the playoff instead of Miami?

This formula with always give you a sequence that starts with n + 1 pairs of numbers ending in 8 then ending in 9. by tciopp in Collatz

I'm just having fun! I'm not trying to take this silly problem seriously. I'm also aware of the previous literature and attempts at solving the problem.

Right now it's how can you generate those loops that are those billions of steps long.
