All of them.

Otherwise all songs by an artist would be of exact equal quality.

My issue with Lil Dicky is his terrible "Freaky Friday" song, which was basically an unintentional "counter-point" argument from the perspective of the antagonists in the film 'Get Out.'

Which, of course, was *not* Dicky’s goal, rather he was attempting to write a song where people could just dance and have fun. From the interviews I’ve read, he’s acknowledged how some stuff in his work isn’t the most enlightened but I don’t think he has any sort of sinister agenda to spread hate and fascism or whatever.

So my pick, at least commercially? There’s an STL indie band called Greek Fire that IMO have been crushing it on the downlow for years.

....I'm in love

Hopefully this comparison isn't offensive because I mean both in a positive way

Guitar is pure AFI
Vocals reminds me of like White Tie Affair honestly

since turning 30, Axl Rose has released a total of 17 songs....he is turning 60 next month.

Li'l Dicky can get dicked.

Living in Australia for several decades now. I have listened to a lot of Australian radio,

Like in Canada, Australia has a local content law.. meaning all commercial and government funded radio stations must play a certain amount of Australian made music per day..

This is a good thing… but it has also lead to bunch of bland, uninspiring, middle of the road, focus grouped dreck played over Australian airways.. a lot of the time it’s “pop stars” releasing unremarkable songs that will get played for about 3 months on a pop station, barely chart, and next time you’ll probably hear it is over a supermarket P.A.

But sometimes decent Australian artists will release these dull songs just so they can get them played across all the stations and not just stations their fan base would be likely to be listening too. Bands like Powderfinger, Eskimo Joe and Birds Of Tokyo..

Just because it's not his "agenda" doesn't make it any less bad, especially for someone making such a tonedeaf decision in a traditionally black music, and then making the guest artist someone who that song's year of release alone had four domestic violence allegations, which the timing of the song seemed to laugh off in a way to rehab his image.
