Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers

That man has pipes.

I keep thinking about my MiL when I hear this song - "I don't like him". She was in the same circles as Bill back in the day - apparently he was not a nice guy to women. I turn the volume up when it's on because the song's damn good, but still...

The Killers - Mr. Brightside for me. Such a good song

Anything off of Parliament - Clones of Dr Funkenstein. Truly an underappreciated gem.

Most Pink Floyd songs, they start with very low volume 😁

I feel like a bad X-ennial for not liking Nirvana as much as everyone else. I don't skip their tracks, but I don't exactly seek them out either.

Porceilna of the Vast Oceans starts so quiet I always turn it up and then see if I can keep it up once it gets loud.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Yes! That was their opener when I saw them a few years back. I love love love longer songs that start off quiet/delicate and gradually ramp into the heaviness.

The only songs that come on are the ones I specifically play and the volume is always perfectly adjusted.
