As an album, The Soft Parade is a bit disjointed, but I always enjoyed the song itself and the special spoken word opening.
Also, I don't care what anyone says, the song 'The Soft Parade' is tremendous!

Super disjointed! I do love the title song for some odd reason though

I think lots of Doors fans like that song but just won't admit it. We played the crap out of that album in college.

Is it ever not a long December? Let’s fast forward to Christmas. This was the last Counting Crows album I liked. But their first one is still one of my favorite albums of all time. This is one of those songs that when I hear it now, it instantly transports me back to the feeling of the time when it came out and was on the radio. Music is incredible like that.

Enjoyed that. It brings me back to a specific time also.

I watched some random ass special on (I think) E! a few months ago and it was about The Viper Room, or at least that scene, or something...and his story, and stories, were the best part. Incredibly interesting.
I was never much of a fan with a couple exceptions, but I think I was just way off into other genres at the time they hit, but nevertheless, I really liked him after seeing that.

Oh, wow - forgot all about that song. I think Tricky did a song with Live on their “V” album too, but if so I can’t remember the name of it at the moment.
I’m a sucker for Live’s dramatic songs that start slow and gradually ramp up to a crescendo. “Pillar of Davidson” probably being my favorite. That whole Throwing Copper album….I still love it. Will still play it front to back a few times a year when the mood strikes.

Doja Cat is a fan. This blows my mind. I was posting on the same message board as them when they put this song out, and nobody else knew who they were. And 2 decades later one of the biggest pop stars in the world is reciting the verse that was like a few hundred people’s little secret.
Love it.

That's wild - and that was a cool vid. Doja Cat's commentary was great!
It's always fun seeing people enjoy music - even on Youtube, some of the musical reaction vids are entertaining. I'm not much of a fan of "reviews" or just commentary type stuff, but every once in awhile it's fun just to watch people lose it over a track. Rap lends itself best to that when people really dissect the bars and notice a double/triple entendre...but it goes beyond rap. It's fun.

Ok, THAT is one of the best rap songs ever. Whole thing is perfect. Never gets old either.

Yeah, that's one of my "go to" tracks when I'm discussing hip-hop and people are on the fence as to whether it's even music, or whether or not they hate it.
I think you just have to bust through the idea that hip-hop is just about shiny things. Once you get past that - smooooth sailing (sometimes).

What is presented as hip hop to the general public who doesn’t even really “listen” to music has often been the most clownish, goofy, cartoonish BS for a long time. And most people are too lazy to go any deeper, especially with something they don’t want to like in the first place.Yeah, that's one of my "go to" tracks when I'm discussing hip-hop and people are on the fence as to whether it's even music, or whether or not they hate it.
