But if I hear it now, I still enjoy it.
As you've mentioned before, I'm pretty beyond the point of giving any F's about what's cool and whatever. I'm under the impression that I'm the most-uncool dude here as far as "taste" is concerned. But I'm okay w/ that cuz I'm real about it. I promise that you'll never seee me pretend to like some arty album that I don't to look cool. And I'll totally admit that I still listen to Bush. IDGAF y'all can come at me. hahaha.
But yeah, 2001 was a crazy year for music. That list I made was outlining stuff that I was listening to at the time, and still enjoy today. There were a few that I almost included - like Endless Summer - that I was into at the time but in all honestly haven't listened to since probably 2002 or so. And I'm totally sure that I'm forgetting lots of good stuff that is just a blur in my head of like "was that released in 2001 or 2000 or 2002?"

Yeah, I love this about you too man. I promise I won't ever pretend to like something to seem cool either, because liking something doesn't make you cool. Plenty of assholes love all the edgiest, newest shit. I like your posts because they're refreshing, and I feel like we actually have a lot in common... just not specific artists.
But seriously, I fucking LOVE "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes. I love that fucking song so much. Lame as hell, I'm sure, but whatever. Great ass song.
I also love Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U" MORE than I like the Prince/The Family version.
And Nine Inch Nails of course.
We all good bro. I just don't listen to any f**in' Everclear beyond Sparkle & Fade. Not because it's not cool, but because I can't find a goddamn thing to like about it. Doesn't make my brain feel good.
Have you ever heard of "trash culture?" It's mostly a film thing, but it's basically folks who derive legitimate pleasure from trashy shit. I have a little bit of that in me. Not sure about you, but when you talk about Bush, I wonder
(Actually "Greedy Fly" is a good song, and so is "Swallowed" in a totally empty way.)
Blah!!!! Talking.
