The Demi and Katy albums are much more rock-leaning, and that Kesha album has some rock influence, plus a collaboration with Iggy Pop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 Yesterday:Demi Lovato - Don't ForgetDemi Lovato - Here We Go AgainKesha - WarriorVixen - TangerineKaty Perry - One of the Boys Well now there’s a few names I didn’t know you liked!I like a good amount of pop, especially from the late 2000s and early to mid 2010s. The Demi and Katy albums are much more rock-leaning, and that Kesha album has some rock influence, plus a collaboration with Iggy Pop. Perhaps I need to check them out... When I was first getting into music in junior high and high school, Katy and Kesha were probably the biggest names in pop music, along with Gaga. So given that I started out by getting into classic rock radio and guitar hero, I avoided modern pop like the plague. Nowadays I can recognize and enjoy great pop when I hear it, though I don't seek much of it out, but I still haven't really checked out those pop artists who were on top of the world in the early 2010s. I do know I don't care for Firework from Katy nor do I care for Kesha's early dance hits, though I understand why they are loved. Demi was still on Disney channel at the time, and I didn't really expect her subsequent music career to go any further than Selena Gomez's (which somehow is still going despite a profound lack of publicity for it...). I haven't really heard much of her stuff period, not even hits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really heard much of her stuff period, not even hits.I avoided all of it for a while, but I'm really glad I gave it a chance. There were some great songs during that period. Katy's second album, Teenage Dream, is better than her debut in my opinion, but One Of The Boys is much more of a rock album. Kesha's first album Animal and subsequent EP Cannibal are mostly dance-pop tracks like the singles you know. There's a few of those on Warrior, but it's much more varied than her debut. There are some rockers and some organic-sounding ballads. Demi's first two albums are full of pop punk and power pop jams, with some nice ballads thrown in. Both of those albums are great fun. It gets gradually poppier from there. The artwork for Don't Forget screams pop punk, and features Demi holding a Gibson SG Edited January 14, 2022 by Super25Smasher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Judas Priest- Sad Wings Of Destiny (10/10) I only have the Complete Albums Collection box set edition, which apparently restores the track listing to what the band initially wanted. So it opens with Prelude and not the anthem that is Victim Of Changes. I really love this album, and I think it's a masterpiece either way you listen too it. One of the greatest albums of the seventies. Yes most of the songs here sound better live but the actual vocal layering and the production of this album still sounds insane to me in 2022. I can't get over how brilliant Judas Priest were in the seventies. They were almost a genre to themselves and WOW 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supertramp is kinda like the British Steely Dan. very clean production. kinda jazzy. weird quirky lyrical sensibility. Supertramp is just a touch prog-ier. no wonder they click with me, lol Mick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
