113: Billie Eilish (C+)

Billie Eilish in tier list I want to like it, lots of interesting sounds, cool stuff, but she takes herself too seriously in a direction I don’t want to go. It’s too much, it feels icky. I don’t want to listen to music that feels icky.

112: The Last Shadow Puppets (A-)

The Last Shadow Puppets in tier list don’t like it as much as Arctic Monkeys, not nearly, but maybe it’ll grow on me. Still good

111: Stray Kids (B+→B)

Stray Kids in tier list hit or miss for me musically, has songs I do quite like but also loads that are just… too much, doesn’t feel like music it just feels like sound. I also am against idol culture and the hyperproduction of the band and the brand- that’s not part of the musicContinue reading “111: Stray Kids (B+→B)”

110: Big Red Machine (B-→B+)

Big Red Machine in tier list I don’t dislike it, it’s just very specific and I don’t think it hits all the beats it means to, or the beats it’s trying to hit aren’t particularly interesting to me. Also, I love love love Renegade, but I call that a Taylor Swift song (and so doesContinue reading “110: Big Red Machine (B-→B+)”

109: Taylor Swift (A)

Taylor Swift in tier list I could see her rising with time and exposure because she’s already grown on me a lot in the two weeks it took to get through everything, but I also know I tend to inflate my interest in artists when I’m listening to just them for a while, when theirContinue reading “109: Taylor Swift (A)”

108: Dirty Loops (B+)

Dirty loops in tier list consistent, fun, I think they have a lot of cool and fun stuff going on musically but they can get repetitive and weak wrt actual songwriting (ie. structure/lyrics/length of song/repetition). I think their album with Corey Wong was better for this, a little more thoughtful and less aggressively poppy, butContinue reading “108: Dirty Loops (B+)”

107: U2 (A)

U2 in tier list I think it’s not unlikely that were this not my dad’s band, my sister’s band, a family band, it would be around a mid A-. But maybe it would still be up here, and besides, it is a family band, I’ve grown up listening to U2, they’re special. Plus, they areContinue reading “107: U2 (A)”

A History

I’ve decided to make a post each time I update The List with a new artist. Nothing much, just artist, rank, and which number artist they are as I’ve ranked them, chronologically. This makes me feel like I’m doing more on this site, yes, but I think more importantly it gives me a record, aContinue reading “A History”

106: Austin Archer (C→C-)

Austin Archer in tier list I wanted to like him, I like a lot of the things he goes for, the audio diary kind of intros to songs, the clear effort to a theme (and a good theme, too), but he never caught me. Too rough, not enough just plain enjoyment to listen to EDIT1:Continue reading “106: Austin Archer (C→C-)”

105: PHOX (A-)

PHOX in tier list only one album but I like it, a little mellow for my tastes but there is a chunk of songs I like and it’s got decent odds of growing on me RELISTEN1: I like ‘em a lot, I’m happy with them as an A-. I’m gonna have to shift them downContinue reading “105: PHOX (A-)”
