Just heard Plaineclothes Man for the first time last week. I love it when I find new music that really speaks to me, there’s so much good stuff out there right now.
Sorry I disagree. Barbie girl - Aqua has already been written, and most people know it.
I was gonna go with Macarena, it has a dance!
The pedant in me has to point our that if it’s the “best song we’ve ever heard…” then we already heard it, and it isn’t still “out there” as in unheard and waiting to be listened to.
This is not the best song in the world, it’s just a tribute
Brilliant.
I’m an uber driver. I had a passenger and we got to discussing what kind of music she likes. She said “Little Wing” so I told Siri to play some “Little Wing”. Of course Siri knew what I was asking for and played some Lil Wayne.
Passenger said she liked Lil Wayne because he’s got different moods. “Sometimes I just wanna chill, you know? Like it ain’t gotta be all go-go-go all the time you know?”
So I asked her if she’d heard any BB King before. She said “Who’s that?” So I told Siri to play The Thrill is Gone by BB King.
She was like “Ooooooh! This is chill as fuck thank you!”
I had just learned about BB King the previous day from another passenger, when I had the Grateful Dead playing some blues. The passenger from the day before was an old hippie, and she was telling me about seeing BB King and Led Zeppelin at a place called The Psychedelic Supermarket in Salem, MA back in the 70s.
I also showed this younger passenger Since I’ve Been Loving You by Led Zeppelin. She was so stoked to have some new music to get her friends to chill to, since they all into that go-go-go music all the time.
I love being someone in a position to introduce people to new music. I love my job.
Congrats on hearing BB King! The dude is a legend, basically creating a whole new genre. Imagine making music so good that it becomes a genre. That’s BB King.
+1 for a new aspiring guitarist. Never cared for the blues until I tried playing along with thrill is gone and it blew my mind.
Anyone reading this wondering if they should check him out, do it.
weird it didn’t play Hendrix - Little Wing.
Still a great song and v chill
It might not even be written yet.
I don’t know why, but it just seems so weird that you can go back 30 years and no one would have any awareness of a lot of songs that everyone knows today. They were only up to like Mambo Number 2 or Hey I’ll Think About It! Nickelback didn’t yet exist but if they did, they’d be singing to look at this thing they are doing right now, maybe take a photograph.
Go back 100 years and no one has any awareness of entire genres of music loved by billions today. It was almost an entirely different culture with popular hits like classical music, Take Me Out To The Ballgame, or You Are My Sunshine and other songs that are considered children’s music today.
That’s silly, the greatest song was made in 1999 by Kool Keith.

Just yesterday I took the time to listen to Dr. Dooom - First Come, First Served. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. To see him randomly pop-up here made my evening!
Doubtful. I already own Echolyn’s “Mei”. Hard to believe there’s any song I’d like more.
That being said, I’m always on the lookout for new music. I’d love to find a song better than “Mei”, despite how impossible that seems to me.
Might not even be in your language
You have any examples of that?
Teenage me could never have imagined how much I love city pop now.
Same with books and reading.
Reminds me of a saying, “that some of the best days of our lives haven’t happened yet”.
I’ve already heard All Star by Smash Mouth.
Rip Mr mouth
Well the greatest song in the world was famously performed by Jack Black and Kyle Gass, and they can’t remember how it went
Luckily they wrote a tribute
A wild D reference appears…
I listen to more than 20,000 minutes of music every year, according to Spotify. The vast majority are songs I’ve never heard before and I’m constantly finding new songs I love.
Well, share one with us.
Well anyway, here’s wonderwall

I just heard of reverend beat-man from watching righteous gemstones. That song black metal is sick
What about the past 250,000 years of lost music?
They didn’t have auto tune so is it really music
