I’ll leave my other top choices to the folks who introduced me to the artists. And post this even though I think I have already done so this year.

I honestly had no idea Willie Nelson was still alive! That's fucking cool that he's still making music

I saw him live like…almost 20 years ago, and I too am shocked he’s still alive today

Day 16: A song released this year

I was introduced to this band here early on, and they have become a fast favorite, with many of their songs prominent in my mind and playlist. This year they released a live album which showcases their raw power This one is a favorite of favorites.

Busy Girl - Tove Lo & SG Lewis

I read that as "Tove Lo & Huey Lewis," and was really stoked. But that was great.

Day 16 - Song released this year
I need time and more songs to know if I like new Linkin Park but given my musical tastes I thought this was appropriate for today.

Day 16 - Song released this year
So much cool stuff around this year. I'm gonna choose Beach Bunny because her voice peps me right up and who doesn't need jangly guitar pop in their Monday? OH YES YOU DO.

Vertigo

 

[Wonderer67]

I think I went out of order today and did today’s song yesterday. Or was it yesterdays song tomrrow

Day 15: A song you know all the words to

My wife and I saw spoon last nite. Sang a lot of the songs, but this is my favorite, I think. It’s a beautiful song.

Day 9: A song that reminds you of someone

California Stars ~ Billy Bragg & Wilco reminds me of @emsway

Day 10: A song that makes a statement

I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty makes a strong statement, but I think it's even more powerful when sung by Johnny Cash with his baritone.

I miss @emsway so much. What a great human and she would really enjoy this thread.

 

[Mr_bogey]

Yaaayyy!! Welcome to the wonderful world of Swedish reggae!!
Just because of that I'll use my Second Song, which I won last month, to promote another one by the Captain!

Day 10 - Song that makes a Statement (part deux!)

This one's hard to translate, but it's about police violence and their constant oppression of the working class.

"Blåljus och Siren har bli'tt ett blågult problem"
"Blue Lights and Sirens have become a blue-yellow problem"

This has also become my #1 favorite song to rap after @morelikeasong got me to start rapping

Kapten Röd - In Kommer Ting

I would say this has more of a Ska feel with a reggae influence than rap.

Day 10: A song that makes a statement

This prompt could definitely be a decades week challenge and possibly a whole month. So many directions to choose. I decided on a song I've been sending my kids lately.

Day 17: A song you relate to

Having just been awarded Wanker of the Week …

We are the Champions - Queen

 

[vagrantx]

I would say this has more of a Ska feel with a reggae influence than rap.

The second verse is a rap! But you're on the right track. Kapten's genre isn't true reggae, it's leavning heavily into ragga and dancehall, reggae subgenres from the 70s/80s. More musical, less spiritual than reggae.

That's a tough one.. this one I think relates to my overall personality rather than any given moment..

Day 17: A song you relate to

For much of my life, I've been... looking for home. I left my village in Laos for Vientiane. Then we left Vientiane for Stockholm. Then we left Stockholm for another village. Round and round it goes.

Thankfully I've always had loved ones with me, but still.. I've always felt welcome, yet always felt like a newcomer.

Iron Maiden - Stranger in a Strange Land
