Fleetwood Mac in tier list I really am not confident about this ranking at all. I think this B+ will work as a decent placeholder for now, but I definitely foresee some shifting, some rearranging in the future for this one. Partly just because it’s so much, it’s hard to keep a handle on aContinue reading “142: Fleetwood Mac (B+)”

Ariana Grande in tier list I like the music a good bit, actually, pretty consistent, pretty engaging. Occasionally samey/boring, but not as much as I think I expected. But I really am not a fan of the Ariana Grande experience, of her persona, of her themes and lyrics. She’s consistently very sexual, and increasingly soContinue reading “141: Ariana Grande (B)”

Muse in tier list a little tricky to rank, because there are definitely albums where they just hit for me, where listening to them I go, “dang this band rocks”- but there are also albums and strings of songs that make me think they’re kinda just mid. The test is, as I listen more, doesContinue reading “140: Muse (A)”

Fats Domino in tier list I like him a lot for a B, if that makes sense. He gets a little repetitive for me, I don’t always get into it, but he’s definitely a vibe and there’s definitely some real good stuff in there

The Dead Weather in tier list I like it, it definitely feels to me like an extension of Jack White stuff, which makes sense ‘cause it is. More Jack White than White Stripes, it’s good. Definitely a different vibe/mood than I normally listen to but I do like it

Wilco in tier list this is a very probationary ranking, I think. I like them, I like their vibe. They’re thoughtful and consistent. Not very super fun/exciting (even if mostly pretty engaging) to listen to, though, and no real standout songs. I am very curious to see how I’ll feel about them when given someContinue reading “137: Wilco (B)”

TV Girl in tier list barely not a D. I almost like it, I like the vibe, it’s just so boring, it’s so repetitive. Gah! I dig it as background music, but it just cannot stand up to any concentrated attention from me

Everything Everything in tier list this was tricky for me to place. I like them, generally, they’re fun to listen to. Also really hard to listen to. They’ve got a real bad case of impossible-to-tell-what-on-earth-they’re-saying, and honestly even after I look up and read the lyrics I’m not sure that goes away, the lyrics areContinue reading “135: Everything Everything (A-→A)”

Depeche Mode in tier list sooooo boring, so consistently not engaging. Just, tons of albums, the albums are too long, the songs in the albums are too long. It’s all samey and repetitive and I got tired of it so fast, and it was never able to grow on me to make up the difference.Continue reading “134: Depeche Mode (D-)”
