That's nothing. I just cheat sheet @Aruji 's list every time and sprinkle in a few different ones to make it look like I'm not copying

Jack

Don’t know how he gets that guitar tone sounds like J. Mascis on an Acetone binge

I dont listen to albums like that

Fair enough and I don't usually either but TLOP feels so curated to that whole aesthetic and purpose that those 'bonus' songs sorta throw a wrench in the flow. His first 7 are all classics so I'm really just nitpicking

such an accurate description

on a side note steely dan is one of the best bands ever so them being a hard rock band would probably slap

Lovin the Doris picks in the last couple lists

I feel like country vocalists these days all sound a little self serious and lack the charm that Hank, George, Merle etc had. Jack manages to conjure it imo.

gonna get started on it asap

speaking of acetone thread needs to sample york blvd before final subs

you and @rise_zero get it

Tyler Childers is the real deal, a rural kentucky boy from a coal family whos been doing it since he was a teenager. your mon jack white just doing a cosplay, i kinda like him has a vocalist in general but i cant really buy into his folksier side, only his raw rock/blues

these guys can still do an occasional more upbeat banger but yeah i do feel like the good non-pop country singers now tend to have a lot of depressing songs. makes sense being part of the time period + representing an increasingly dying lifestyle + rebelling against the partying attitude in blockbuster country music

also just wanna remind @pneumonia @Aruji and @Bourbon_Ben that editing will be open until deadline as well. Tagging y'all specifically since you all advertised you lists as first drafts near the start of the annaouncement. If you are still happy with your list, they all still follow criteria for voting so no worries if you don't plan on editing

Was thinking this came out in 1999 for some reason

are they sure Hank done it that way? he had like 1 true heartbreaker per 5 jaunty dingers

Already thought of a few albums I forgot lol, not gonna bother with edits though

maybe hank wouldve focused more on heartbreakers if the jaunty dinger lane was dominating the scene. i think i usually just end up linking you a heartbreaker because those tend to be the highlights, its not like these dudes are one-note

those heartbreakers tend to be hanks best ones anyway

speaking of jaunty dingers...

insane chorus

she had the juice fr

my introduction to Hank

All these have a different sound musically

Honestly this song isn’t bad, but it’s hard to take anything on that first album seriously with the fake southern twang she used.

Yeah I think if DK is gonna dig any modern country artist it’s Sturgill.
