I’ve always held the belief that music wasn’t better in the past, people just have survivorship bias. What are your genuine favorite albums of the last few years?

Personally, I’m loving The Rime of Memory by Panopticon, Ants from Up There by Black Country, New Road, and Hellfire by Black Midi.

    This is exactly correct. Child of the early 70s.

    I heard my peers say this about the 80s and had to laugh and laugh.

    For every Prince, there were 100 sucky bands.

      soooo many terrible one hit wonders…and you had to sit through so much talking, commercials and garbage to catch one good song on the radio.

      I love it now I can catch a good tune (one of the reasons I’m on the fediverse) and then go explore the band & music associated to it and plunk it in a Playlist.
