I'm horrible with acronyms.

Bingo! What did the parenthesis (Y) stand for? |

I sing a lot of karaoke--from 50s to 2010s, country to hip hop, Broadway to metal. I like to sing songs from the 70s that tell a story. Brandy by Looking Glass, Your Song by Elton John, Space Oddity by David Bowie, Leroy Brown by Jim Croce.
The crowd at my local karaoke bar is in their 20s so I will also sing stuff that appeals to them. Mostly 2000s, hip hop and current songs. Good as Hell by Lizzo and Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne are examples. Millennials lose their minds over All the Small Things by Blink-182.

Their second favorite song is Mr. Brightside by The Killers. |

Majority Rock and Metal. Definitely 80's metal; Iron Naidon, Judas Priest, Metallica, Anthrax, Testament, Slayer, etc. I definitely get into virtuoso guitarists as well such as Yngwie, Satriani, John Patrucci, Vinnie Moore, Buckethead, anything similar. A little bit of modern metal such as Arch Enemy, Trivium and Children of Bodom I was a huge fan of but outgrew some of those trendy "metal" bands of the 2000's such as A7X(still will listen to them from time to time, though), Disturbed, Slipknot, Bullet for my Valentine, All That Remains, etc. As a millennial, I do think a lot of 90's music is overrated and far overplayed. Give me some gangster rap I love classical music, I'll listen to a lot of Chopin, Mozart, Saint-Seans, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Strauss, Mussorgsky, so many to name. Huge fan of big Symphonies and Concertos. Current pop and hip hop is pure garbage to me. None of it sounds good. None of it is talent. Hardly any of it was created by the "artist". Maybe I'm just an old time millennial stuck in my ways. I wish rock and metal would dominate the mainstream again. I'm a huge Dream Theater fan. Denver has a lot of Phish fans and I like to mock them by saying Dream Theater is Phish with musical talent. They get so mad lol. Portnoy is playing on the Modern Drummer stream event I'm watching, RIGHT NOW. Don't know how long he will play for, as it's a festival and there will be others. |

I've been listening to a lot of 80s internet radio lately. My observations:
Favorite/underrated acts: Smiths/Morrissey, Cure, Depeche Mode, INXS.
Overrated acts: Oingo Boingo, Talking Heads, Police, Huey Lewis & The News. Also, video/MTV made some songs popular that really weren't good songs like Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel and Money for Nothing by Dire Straits.
Among the biggest acts like Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna and U2, I think Madonna had the longest run of producing popular music and still being relevant into the 2000s.

Which of those have you seen in concert? Did you see Depeche Mode during their 2017 USA tour? |

What are your reasons for over-rating The Police?
I am not the as knowledgeable about them, as I am other bands. I had a cassette by them.
I generally buy albums from artists that still tour, then I go see them. So that's usually my preference, when I buy music.
Bands that don't tour, I don't find as much time for. It's pretty much taken a quarantine like this for me to get music from acts that don't tour.
Otherwise, I got to 15-20 concerts a year, so I'm always buying music from acts that I'll be seeing soon.
I did go to a drive-in concert last month. It's pre-recorded, and played on the screen.
I might go to more, until live events start again.

I was never a big concert guy but I did see Prince and U2 live.
My overrated acts didn't have good melodies. OB and TH sound like dropping a bunch of tools on the ground. Police had 1-2 good songs but were really a ska/jazz band which is weird combo.
Would love to see concerts when that becomes a thing again.
