I see you saw Todd’s video too. Listening to the songs he played without his commentary, I agree. Also, I never liked Oasis, way too whiny and bombastic in my opinion.

@ILoveMyoozik  
As a Gorillaz fan, I’m kind of required to hate Oasis due to the one-sided feud between Damon Albarn and the Gallagher brothers. (Though even that’s kind of over, considering that Noel and Damon have patched things up quite a bit.)

idk them well but they seem okay.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Yeah no you don’t. You can be both a Gorillaz and a Oasis fan at the same time. Like I said, I just don’t like Oasis cause they just suck overall, I don’t get why the UK loved these guys.

The singers of two of my fave bands have argued on Twitter several times. P:

I’ve actually never listened to an Oasis album, am I missing out on anything?

@Hypnosryan  
Unless you’re into Britpop or 90’s British music in general, then not really.

@ILoveMyoozik  
(I know, I was joking.)
 
I’m honestly not a huge fan of their music, though I greatly prefer when Noel Gallagher is singing over Liam due to Noel having a much better singing voice. Though when I want Britpop, I usually prefer Blur or Pulp.

I can’t say how much I love the film Drive (2011). Literally one of the best Movie Soundtracks of all time. Any other suggestions? :-)

@DarkObsidian  
What type of soundtracks are you looking for? Symphonic, electronic, rock, hip hop, what?

@Hypnosryan  
not really. I don’t really listen to them either & from what I heard from various places of them, I still don’t see the big fuss.
 
@ILoveMyoozik  
i’d say the whole britpop genre in general is rather stale, tiresome & depressing.

@TheHappySpaceman
 
Hmmm… Good question. Actually I’m pretty open-minded. Let it say me this way, the best Soundtracks for me are: Pulp Fiction, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, Reservoir Dogs, Drive, David Lynch’s Dune, The Last Unicorn, Trainspotting, O Brother, Where Art Thou? Blues Brothers. Why? Because I need this connection between the music and the film scene/setting. Musical movies like Purple Rain, Saturday Night Fever, Grease, etc. are nice, but I looking more for new s**t. Something I don’t know yet. The genres is irrelevant. As long as the music fits the movie. :-D
 
That’s why I’m asking for suggestions. I want to know what other people thinking. :-)

@DarkObsidian  
Hmm. Well, definitely check out Tron: Legacy. It uses a perfect mixture between Daft Punk’s electronic music and symphonic elements that fit each scene near perfectly.
 
An older movie that has a lot of different great soundtracks is Metropolis, whether you prefer the most recent symphonic scores, electronic ones, a score consisting entirely of Muse songs (I made that one), or one featuring ‘80s pop produced by Giorgio Moroder. Actually, listen to any movie soundtrack by Moroder, because in addition to producing half the ‘80s pop hits you know, he’s also great with movie scores. Cat People, Scarface, Flashdance… I may be missing some others.
 
And also, anything by Vangelis. He started off as the keyboardist for the psychedelic/prog rock band Aphrodite’s Child before moving on to movie soundtracks like Chariots of Fire, Blade Runner, and Missing.
 
Last, but not least… and I warn you, this is an incredibly obvious choice for me… Phantom of the Paradise, the 1974 cult classic horror musical. Its soundtrack, written by Paul Williams, is in my opinion a perfect pastiche of the nostalgia wave, surf rock, metal, disco, as well as featuring some rather beautiful ballads. Stand-out songs are “Faust,” “Somebody Super Like You,” and “Life At Last.”

I’m no expert on the britpop genre, but what I have heard of it is pretty good. Not my main style of music, sure, but certainly not bad.

One of my favorite Britpop songs is Common People by Pulp. However, oddly enough, I actually prefer the William Shatner cover.

XXXTENTACION, an infamous trap rapper who made the songs “Look At Me!” and “Sad!” was shot to death in Miami and succumbed to his wounds. He was 20 years old at the time of his death.

@ILoveMyoozik
 
And he was half as old as me… FUCK! This is BS! Why have people die this young? Seriously!? I don’t get it! Musicians, much like poets and artists should be protected! They are the soul of mankind… Ah, FUCK! (!_!)

@ILoveMyoozik  
R.I.P
 
I never actually tried to listen to his music, but I really liked Riot  
I cringed when I first heard that he was shot because just yesterday I was listening to one of his song on the radio in the morning hours before his death. I’ve also been hearing conspiracy behind his death.

The XXXTenacion thing is reminding me of the “Scrappy Doo has been found dead in Miami” meme.
 
Bad taste? Lmao, I have a fucked up sense of humour.
 
In all seriousness, you won’t see me mourning him as he was a bit of a cunt, but from how I see it he was yet another victim of gang crime in American inner cities, and that’s a disaster in my book.

@Moonatik  
*XXXTENTACION

I find it really weird to see YT being spammed on videos of the Aftermath shooting of XXXTENTACION.
 
@Moonatik  
You call that fucked up? Please I have a more fucked up sense of humor.

@100SGX  
Try me bitch, I have a yearly tradition where I make fun of 9/11 every September 11th.

Soooooo, does anyone know any one hit wonders?

@ILoveMyoozik  
Just the usuals.
