Hated Bottle Rocket almost as much as Magnolia. Couldn’t finish it.
I almost went with that one, but I give it to Time After Time
I enjoyed Django
Jackie Brown was meh
Inglorious ok but still annoyed me
Right? They’re another band that couldn’t write a good album, but when they wrote a great song, it was perfect. I’m not including their stuff from before Steve Perry, which I almost consider a different band.
I think the best song they ever wrote is the one that finally won them a Grammy: When You Love a Woman

Jackie Brown used to be my least favorite, but it rises closer to the top every year. Are you below forty? Maybe it’s an aging thing?
Steve Smith, their drummer, went on to do some weird Jazz stuff. He’s a respected player.
He also was in some ‘Supergroup’ with Victor Wooten and Scott Henderson

Dire Straits:
Sultans of Swing (iconic) (possible tie with Money For Nothing but that song sucks)
Down to the Waterline (best)
Big Country:
In a Big Country (iconic)
Fields of Fire (best)
People may think of Big Country as a 1-hit wonder (Americans at least, not sure about UK/Euros) but definitely not. Half a dozen great albums from early 80s through late 90s. Lead singer & main songwriter Stuart Adamson killed himself in 2001. RIP

Bottle Rocket and Magnolia were both amazing.

Bottle Rocket’s pacing make it a great movie to chill and get high to. It’s so random and meandering.
I couldn’t imagine trying to watch it in a theater tho.
Yeah maybe not being a stoner hurts the experience
big country mention yeah! I loved that song.
will have to investigate their catalog per TheDuker’s recommendation!

All I Want for Christmas Is You is the clear winner imo. It’s actually one of the most popular songs in the history of recorded music (12th best selling single ever and the video has over half a billion views on Youtube).

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people may find the following video distressing as it does contain images of a deceased person.
