    Oh noooo not requests for recommendations now I'm going to nerd out! >.< Don't judge me.

    Mamamoo is a bit of a retro-styled quartet with really strong vocals. They tend a little brighter and poppier than I'm normally into, but their live performances really let their singing chops stand out. If anyone spends time in D&D chat I've been doing a big ol' research project about them as stealth gay icons which is kinda cool, but they're just nice to listen to besides that.

    F(x) is a bit more experimental, electro-pop, they've been around for a while. Two members are American!
    BlackPink is fuckin weird, like, Bollywood, house and rap with occasional forays into country music breaks? They're badass, their songs go weird places.
    Akdong Musicians / AkMu is a brother-sister duet. Not super exciting but they've got a really nice clean, pure sound.
    I don't actually really know anything about 4Minute except that the bass lines on these songs are just unf. Haven't heard much of their other stuff though.
    I don't really like any other Nell songs I've heard, but I really like this song. It's really depressing! And not like, cheesy kdrama depressing, legit sad. They're more of a rock ballad kind of group.

    And that's not even getting into the massive boy's groups like EXO, BTS, or Big Bang

    This might seem like it's coming out of left field but fuck it.

    Why do people like The Eagles? They suck. Their music should be remembered as the soulless, corporate cashout rock that it is, and yet!

    People will still try and come at you with, "Yeah but Joe Walsh is really good at the guitar!" I don't give a fuck! I don't like the songs he's playing on, and none of them "rock".

    "Hotel California is a classic!" Why is it a classic? Because a bunch of baby boomers decided that it was? Because it sold a lot of copies?

    Fuck The Eagles. Their music is ass, their never-ending "final" tours are ass, their legacy is ass, and their enormous egos are ass.

    Sorry not sorry.

    Uh, Joe Walsh is great and only tangentially in The Eagles.

    Also they're liked still because they are a well harmonizing rockband which is a fairly rare thing. And their songs are pretty good in a vacuum, in fact you probably like them less the more you learn about the band.

    I've never really known anyone that worships the eagles. Like, maybe they're like, someone's #5 band, but when are they someone's #1? I suppose they're out there, but I don't encounter them.

    Today I've been listening to this a bunch:

    I don't think anyone actually loves the Eagles as their #1, but there's definitely this thing where people think they're good and a vital part of their time period and that they represent something other than selling out and that pisses me off

    That's where my thoughts on The Eagles ends.

    She partially dropped charges last year, and the new album is being released by Kemosabe Records, Dr. Luke's label

    The Dolly Parton song is a cover that Kesha already did (Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You) on her EP Deconstructed

    Kesha's mom was one of the writers of the original song

    @ whoever was asking about k-pop, the new Red Velvet song is good, a summerjam on deck.
    some of their poses/expressions are a bit more "kyoot" fanservicey than previous, but the video is true to the colorful quirk they bring.
    https://youtu.be/WyiIGEHQP8o
    i'm more into their pop stuff, but their R&B tunes are smooooove. this EP is solid as hell, and shows a decent mix of their styles.
    https://youtu.be/0D6nvDYUapc

    somewhat similar bands: f(x); Orange Caramel; 2NE1 (apparently, BlackPink is kinda their spiritual successor)

    Eagles of Death Metal are whatever/10

    But a lot of those dudes were in Kyuss or Queens of the Stone Age or part of the Desert Sessions or any number of other actually good California desert rock musical projects, of which there are a shit ton

    Go listen to those

    Ke$ha changed her artist name to just Kesha a while back. Same person.

    speaking of Kyuss, their second album is one of my all-time summer jam greats

    you can basically just put it on and jam non-stop. great roadtrip music too
