Well, this isn’t bad, but it’s kind of Bryan Adams-y for my taste…  
>sees that Bryan Adams is listed as a co-writer  
wat.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Do I smell a new video coming soon?

@SD50-2  
You do smell one coming soon. Though it might not be the exact type of video you’re thinking of. ;)

Welp, guess no one listened to me and that damned Black Eyed Peas song just made the Top 40. If it reaches the Year End for this year, that’s already one candidate for my worst list.

Man watches the whole gig through the gauged ear of guy in front of him

Three Cool Cats

I just found out we had a song about cannibalism become a Top 20 hit back in the early 70’s. What the hell were we on back then?

@Myoozik  
What song?

I know that when people are talking about “BoP” they’re referring to the Birds Of Prey movie, but my mind always defaults to DaBaby’s current song of the same name.
 
@TheHappySpaceman  
Timothy by The Buoys, which is about three miners trapped down a mine and they resort to cannibalism to survive.

Ed Sheeran is overhated

Currently listening to Thin Lizzy at work, and honestly, they (and especially Phil Lynott) have secured their place as my favorite Irish musicians. (Although I’ve also fond of the Cranberries)
 
Does anybody here have other Irish bands/musicians and specific songs/albums they’d recommend? I’m trying to come up with a playlist for next month.

@Broken Adam  
What? Who hates Ed Sheeran? He writes pretty songs

@Alexk13  
U2?

@Alexk13  
Do they have to be from Ireland? Dropkick Murphys may be more Irish-American but they’re probably one of the most Irish sounding bands of all time.
 
Actual Irish bands I know recognize from Wikipedia’s list of Irish musical groups:
 
The Cranberries  
Flogging Molly  
God Is An Astronaut  
My Bloody Valentine  
Skid Row  
Stiff Little Fingers  
Therapy?  
Two Door Cinema Club  
U2

@Alexk13  
The Boomtown Rats are pretty great. Their frontman was also known as the organizer of Live Aid.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Live Aid, you say?

Huh

@pixel  
…Yikes.

@Broken Adam  
I don’t think it’s the same Skid Row. The Irish band of that name was from the ‘60s and included future Thin Lizzy members.

@TheHappySpaceman  
If you think that’s harsh take a look at the lyrics.
 
It’s hilarious to me how a group of cynical, jaded anarchists is only known for “Tubthumping.”

@pixel  
Jesus…
 
Though I have to call critical research failure on the verse about Freddie Mercury; I’m pretty sure he was Indian.

@pixel  
Yes! Two Door Cinema Club, love them!

Kek, though to be fair Live Aid barely did anything to help Africa.
