My current fixation -- Lo Moon's "Loveless" (2018). Not a wasted note in this song. Drum fills are fab. Their latest album is 2024's "I Wish You Way More Than Luck". My top 3 album tracks are "Honest", "Water", & "Day Old News".

You're welcome, Rick! Some regulars made second accounts until things hopefully clear up. This may not appeal, but it's an option.

I'm assuming you're among the accounts whose posts are not appearing. Otherwise, I'd have already seen & liked these posts under the challenge hashtags.

Stephin Merritt

Merritt developed pain hyperacusis -- a sensitivity to high frequency sounds (e.g., cymbals). The condition has affected live performance & recordings, necessitating more sparse instrumentation.

I will heed your stern warning and steer clear. 😄

i gravitate towards ballads, so "Go to Sleep" was always going to rank highly.

I'm enjoying your list!

There are so many from that era. I almost went with Rod Stewart's "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)". Bonus creepy video to boot! And yes, to the files!😄

Same goes for me with today's movie choice.

Even as a Trekkie, I'd not have remembered that scene. Almost has Star Wars stormtrooper vibes. 😄

Good song, if its subject matter were about anything other than a hot child in the city.😱
