FOR THE BIG MUSIC ASK GAME LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Artists: Joni Mitchell, Taylor Swift, Queen, Frank Turner
Albums: Pretty. Odd, evermore, Nebraska, Blonde on Blonde
this ask feels like a homework essay question but like, in a subject I'm passionate about. so it's okay. daunting, but.
Joni:
Do I know them already?: yes | no
Favourite Song: A Case of You, it has to be!!!!
(okay but also there's a recording of her playing Chelsea Morning live at Carnegie Hall and it is ~magical~)
Least Favourite Song: I mean there isn't a song by her that I dislike, but maybe one I know that I listen to the least....Big Yellow Taxi. because it makes me sad. she warned us about paving paradise and we didn't listen!!!!!!
Favourite Album: Blue 💙💙💙💙💙
Least Favourite Album: idk a lot of her discography (Blue the album of my heart) but uhhhhh the orchestral funky Both Sides Now (I just like her better when it's just her and her dulcimer <3)
Song that got me into them: oh geez my mother's always loved her. so maybe...my mom singing Both Sides Now in the car?
Seen Live?: i WISH (gimme a time machine and I will just take it to the '70s to see bands & artists play in their prime)
Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10
Taylor:
Do I know them already?: yes | no
Favourite Song: legally I am required to say "ivy"
Least Favourite Song: Dancing with Our Hands Tied (because it was popular when I worked retail so I heard it wayyyyyyyyy too much and now I can't stand it. is it a good song? idk. because I have too much retail trauma to determine that.)
Favourite Album: right now, it's Reputation
Least Favourite Album: Speak Now, probably? It missed me, and I haven't sought it out on streaming bc Girl's pre-1989 singing voice just...doesn't do it for me.
Song that got me into them: pfffft probably "Our Song" in the year of our lord 2006. I remember logging onto the Yahoo music website in Internet Explorer to look up her music videos, because that's the only way I could listen to her music (without buying the cds, my allowance was designated to higher musical priorities back then.) but I didn't really consider myself a Fan until the Bad Blood music video.
Seen Live?: nope. I don't really want to either. I like her best in studio. or, ideal scenario, hearing her live in Long Pond Studio, but that seems a bit of a long shot
Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 her songwriting is a ten her vocals are a 5
Queen:
Do I know them already?: yes | no
Favourite Song: Somebody to Love!
Least Favourite Song: thee ummm. the bicycle one. ah damn, now it's in my head.
Favourite Album: okay so the thing about many of these bands that I grew up listening to is that I have like, a very limited concept of which albums are which, because I just absorbed them riding in the car with my dad or my mom. I'll say A Night at the Opera bc it's a great title :)
Least Favourite Album: uhhhhh anything they released after Freddie?
Song that got me into them: probably The Muppets music video of Bohemian Rhapsody?
Seen Live?: no, alas, but I have seen P!ATD cover Bohemian Rhapsody live
Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10
Frank Turner:
Do I know them already?: yes | no
Favourite Song: not a fair question. uhm mmmmmm...The Way I Tend to Be, Broken Piano, Isabel, Poetry of the Deed, To Take You Home, Josephine....I could go on
Least Favourite Song: motherfucker truly has soooo many songs and I know a lot of them but there are many I've haven't heard. maybe Common Ground. or Little Changes.
Favourite Album: England Keep My Bones
Least Favourite Album: Be More Kind
Song that got me into them: my big brother put Nashville Tennessee on a mix cd he made for my birthday when I was...13? and I've only become more and more obsessed.
Seen Live?: HELL YES. in college my brother and my x-tian sorority big (we're both atheists now lmao) and me roadtripped 3 hours to Dallas to see him on his tour for Tape Deck Heart. One of the best live shows I've seen. He just...comes ALIVE onstage. and we met him at stage door and I took a picture with him <3 I think (hope) I still have it somewhere. I was a music major and wanted to tell him how much his music meant to me but I think I was too starstruck to say anything other than "hiiiii" and "thank you!"
also thee zaniest opening act I have ever seen I'll never forget it
Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10
Pretty. Odd.
it isn't my favorite album of theirs, but it is a masterpiece.
Opinion on cover design: LOVE. I really enjoy the old-timey circus van vibe, evocative of Magical Mystery Tour, which seems a heavy inspiration.
Favourite song: That Green Gentleman
Least favourite song: narrowwww question because I have a pretty equal fondness for all the songs. maybe, The Piano Knows Something I Don't
Underrated track: When the Day Met the Night & Folkin' Around
Overrated track: Nine in the Afternoon (even though I adore it but it gets much more hype than any other track)
Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10
evermore
undoubtedly her magnum opus. the best music she's ever written
Opinion on cover design: simple, effective, lovely, sets the mood and the tone of the album. and she has such a habit of...overdoing visuals? her last half dozen music videos or so have been like, baroque in how over the top their visual design. like, willow the video does not match how the song or the rest of the album feels. idk. the simplicity here works for me, but I think sometimes she can't let something Be.
Favourite song: I already said ivy above so....no body no crime
Least favourite song: cowboy like me (it's otherwise a great song, but i so dislike the opening stanza 'dancing is a dangerous game' mam. you can do better than that. you've a whole album of evidence.)
Underrated track: closure (a Banger)
Overrated track: champagne problems (not that it's not a good song but the way it's gotten so much love as the best song on the album when happiness is like literally right there) (happiness.mp3 & peace.mp3 supremacy)
Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11
Nebraska
Opinion on cover design: as someone who's driven through nebraska, it's very accurate. it looks how nebraska feels. like, you're only there when you're on your way to someplace else. if liminal space was a US state it'd be Nebraska
Favourite song: oh fuck Reason to Believe
Least favourite song: Highway Patrolman
Underrated track: I mean the whole thing is underrated tbh.
Overrated track: see above. <3
Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10
Blonde on Blonde
Opinion on cover design: those pursed lips....so Serious. I love a scarf moment. that look really is my aesthetic
Favourite song: RAINY DAY WOMEN but I also have a soft spot for OH. MAMA. can this really be the end? to be Stuck? inside? a Mobile? with the MEMPHIS BLUES again??? and Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat <3
Least favourite song: Visions of johanna. he can go ON about a bitch. I love him tho
Underrated track: I Want You, & You Go Your Way I Go Mine
Overrated track: is it possible to overrated a track on this album???
Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

Hey
I just want to thank you for introducing me to Daredevil, especially Foggy/Elden. I don't know how I lived so long without these two.
I hope you are enjoying the socks. ^^
I miss you and Bob so much
Enjoy your day
Thank You for putting up with me talking for hours and hours about the same subject for so long.🫣
And thanks for the socks! They are just perfect and keep my little feet warm, protected and comfortable. Bob thinks they are too much. (as you can see)😅
My husband laughed at the ducklings socks. And some people point to my legs when we're on the motorcycle and I'm wearing the avocado ones. It's so cool. 🤭
We miss you a lot too. Love you.🥹
