Lid: Feb 18, 2005; And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

So is Katy Perry considered old person music at this point? She's the last pop star I really followed.

Get into Carly Rae Jepsen from EMOTION onwards and you'll be caught up and ready for the new scene.

Alternatively Charli XCX or Lorde

For The National, I'd say Trouble Will Find Me or Boxer as mentioned above.

I'd say Boxer or High Violet. Of their later music Trouble Will Find Me is easily their worst album.

Hey, Trouble Will Find Me is loving great

it can be great in your opinion, but if you were to rate all their albums from Alligator onwards it would still rank at the bottom

theres always a worst of the best

It's boring as gently caress.

I think her albums got some decent songs. But you cannot pull that level of teenage angst again without Turing yourself into a joke of an artist.

You can wring a tonne of angst about early adulthood. The Streets and The National both made classics out if it (A Grand Don't Come For Free and Boxer). Lorde will adapt.

It's the 25th anniversary of Kylie Minogue's Impossible Princess

An ahead of the curve move of posters heading into indie territory (in this case lots of trip-hop) but in the 90s the reaction was scathing. Time has been very very kind.

Taylor released 2 albums in a row that sucked and nobody liked, Drake has never released a good song let alone an album and still puts up insane numbers in streaming and album sales and is now working with the dude who made the one song people liked on Honestly Nevermind. Bad Bunny might be a flash in the pan, you can't call someone with biggest in the world if they've only been active for 5 years.

In terms of Influence, Infamy, and talent yes. But he hasn't put up Drake numbers since MBDTF or Graduation. Drake is like the Monkees and Ye Brian Wilson

It's over a week late and I don't like Drake and want him to be crowned on forever

With that said

It's agreed he does have one good album - Take Care

Two if you include the mixtape If You're Reading To This It's Too Late

This still puts him far far far behind Taylor and Kanye but it's not like he's Maroon 5.

i cant get into 100 gecs because my first impression was "Sleigh Bells but worse" and i can't shake it every time i hear it and also annoyed it didn't result in a Sleigh Bells revival

100 gecs has already had more good albums (two) than sleigh bells had in its existence (I'm not counting crown on the ground ep)

GAYLE is the most blatant industry plant since Tramp Stamps and its genuinely funny watching them try and be authentic.
