Artists where their live album is their best work Hey all I’ve recently gotten huge into live albums and I was wondering what other artists hve really good live albums or where they have live albums that are their best work. For example I think a group like vulfpeck has alright studio work but their live at Madison square garden album is far and above every studio album they have. submitted…

Artists you consider to be One ALBUM Wonders Any artist that you think put out a single album that you love or had huge success but then nothing even comes close. I got to thinking about this because of Remo Drive. I LOVE Their first record Greatest Hits, super fun and inventive punk/emo vibes, great aesthetic, it really seemed like they were going to be the next big thing in that lane. Cu…

Why don’t artists sell posters anymore? I’d love to decorate my room with posters and little photo prints from my favorite artists but I can never find posters, and the ones I can find are made on Etsy with the album cover very small and a list of all the songs like this, this or this. ​ I wish people just sold posters or even square prints of the album cover itself. So many beautiful…

For photographers in LA, do we fall under Creative Artists, thus, cannot be taxed by the City? See here On (b) 7. Photographer, to the extent the photography is primarily artistic in nature and not primarily journalistic or commercial. I don’t quite understand what they mean by journalistic or commercial. The majority of my work is from bespoke photography, in a pretty niche way where I also give models the polaroid film. They’re never m…

Is anyone else a fan of music in general way more than they’re a fan of artists? My life revolves around music but I recently realised that I’ve never attended a live performance. I’ve never recorded an album release date in my calendar. Never been to artist fan gatherings or browsed their subreddits. I’ll pick and choose like 10% of an artist’s discography and never listen to the rest a second time. Anyone else relate? …

Artists you thought were gonna be one hit wonders? I’m talking about artists who after hearing their first popular song, you assumed that they had no staying power past their initial hit, yet they were able to produce an impressive discography even after they became mainstream. Lil Nas X immediately springs to mind. Remember I’m talking about music that was popular, not necessarily good. sub…

badass songs artists released right before their death Lately my music-listening niche has been badass songs that singers released right before their deaths. One of the coolest (and saddest) ways to go out with a bang. Here are some of my favorites right now Leonard Cohen – You Want It Darker Johnny Cash – Hurt Glen Campbell – Adios David Bowie – Lazarus The whole b…

Deep and powerful songs from artists last albums With David Bowie and his magnificent Blackstar-album, which opened to me on the first day of release (in january 2016) as I listened to it dozens of times, the song Lazarus especially became instant classic and little did I known then that he would die in matter of couple days. So, now I think I want your recommendations and feelings of songs th…

Good bands/artists with their own mythology I was just listening to Rize of the Fenix by Tenacious D and was trying to think of other acts that wrote their own story and made act about it. Tenacious D isn’t just a band, they’re two friends destined to rock. In a similar vein I thought of Eminem. Eminem isn’t just a rapper. He’s a well developed character that Marshall Mathers plays in ad…

I LOVE the Police, looking for other similar, maybe lesser known bands/artists They have such a unique sound and I love all their albums from Outlandos to Synchronicity. I love the arty, sometimes weird experimentation they do, their tightness as a band is fantastic, and each member is as close to musical genius you can get. They were new wave, but they eventually transcended that title, even though they were always a uniq…

Samsung launches premium S Pen to tempt iPad artists in the US The slightly thicker shape of the Creator Edition S Pen should feel more natural to grip — like a real pencil. | Image: SamsungThe S Pen Creator Edition tablet stylus that Samsung unveiled alongside its Galaxy Tab S9 series in July is now available to buy in the US for $99.99. Designed with writing, sketching, and digital painting in mind, the S…

Popular artists who have tackled a completely different genre with success? One of my favorite examples is The Osmonds. They go from the bubblegum and teen pop music like One Bad Apple and Yo-Yo, that were both top 40 hits, to a hard rock song like Crazy Horses, which was also a top charting song. What other popular artists have done a complete 180, even if it’s for just a song and continued with their success? sub…

Chicana women artists are using the figure of the Virgin of Guadalupe for political messages (The Conversation) — Over the past decades, many Chicana artists have used Guadalupe to emphasize issues of justice around immigration. The post Chicana women artists are using the figure of the Virgin of Guadalupe for political messages appeared first on Religion News Service.

Songs/artists with “My life is a mess. I fucked up badly. But I’m still gonna enjoy myself” attitude? I’ve been listening to a lot of Faith No More lately and realized that they don’t have that naive “Everything’s great” attitude but their music sounds so uplifting and optimistic most of the time. Some other examples I can think of rn: Sky Might Fall by Kid Cudi That’s Life by 88-Keys, Mac Miller & Sia While these people acknowledge their issues…

Bands or Artists with Colors in Their Name I know there are probably many obvious ones I’m forgetting. Please help me add to this list. Black Sabbath White Stripes Simply Red Yellow Magic Orchestra Black Crowes Pink Green Day Brownsville Station? Pink Floyd The Average White Band Red Lorry Yellow Lorry Red Rider Agent Orange Big Black Cream Green Jello White Flag Tangerine Dream ​ ​ …

The NFT Market Has Crashed. What Should Artists Do Now?

Which artists provide the best concert experiences? I want to attend a concert where the artist is also a great performer and knows how to capture the crowd. I attended this concert of a famous artist but found the experience disappointing as there was no crowd work or energy. For e.g., Coldplay concert videos are magical! For reference, I live in India. So if you can share artists who will be pe…

Artists who got treated well by higher ups We hear stories about musicians who got screwed over by their managers and record labels because they were young and inexperienced people who didn’t know how to read contracts. Elvis under Colonal Tom Parker, N*SYNC and Backstreet Boys under Lou Peralman, Taylor Swift and the situation with her masters. Are there any famous performers out there …

Artists whose best album were released posthumously? Kurt Cobain died 6 months before Unplugged in New York was released, which arguably is some of Nirvana’s best work. Sublime’s self titled album was released a month or two after Bradley Nowell died. Personally, 40 oz to freedom is my favorite, but their self-titled album was an absolute banger. What are some other examples of this? submitte…
