I like fun shit I can dance to or hard shit I can rock to. I generally shy away from rap/r&b/country, but if you look at my old Walruses, some of my top spots have been from those categories. Im partial to the 80s and 90s over more current music, but again, new stuff vibes with me from time to time.
My top genres in 2021 were Comedy, comic, show tunes, alternative metal, and punk. And my top artists were Ninja Sex Party, KDA, Garfunkle and Oates, Bad Religion, and Sevendust.
My question for @superuberbob is what about bands who didnāt start with guitars (like, their first albums didnāt have them) then added them later as they evolved, or vice versa?
ā1. The band must not have a guitarist employed as a memberā
I would say if the wikipedia color code thing for when members were in the band shows no guitarist when the song you picked came out, then youāre in the clear.
Or just do what Yuv said and yolo it. Technicality research for walrus is aggravating.
Fuck it. Iām going with my first thought, which is a song by a band who have reinvented themselves several times, including a guitarless period. Maybe Iāll submit a live version, just to prove it.
When I was on vacation in Mexico at the start of the pandemic, there was a karaoke night. This group of like 20 American Christians (matching shirts) were dominating the karaoke singing shit like āLet It Beā and torch songs. Then this middle aged British guy went up and sang āDear Godā by XTC and then sat back down all proud. I thought it was great!
