I mean, if you are looking for solid hip hop recs I can send you a PM.

I'm not really looking for hip hop because I feel like I've listened to a lot - both mainstream and underground, and in all sorts of different vibes - but I still don't really like anything aside from M.I.A.
Danny Brown was allright too, but I don't plan on getting any of his albums.

But if you feel like you have something so interesting and out of left field that you think it will change my mind... by all means give it a shot!

Ah, so that's what you meant. I wondered if you were referring to late Genesis.

Also, there's too many Top 40 songs that were and are great.

Ok I like that one too, I guess. That's 2 Phil Collins solo career tracks I find to be quite non-boring.

And yes, there are a lot of good top 40 songs, which is exactly what I want the grumpy "all mainstream music sucks" people to see

Well these are all pretty interesting imo. Ranked in order of creativity.

Shabazz Palaces - Black Up
Deep Puddle Dynamics - The Taste of Rain...Why Kneel
Moor Mother - Fetish Bones (really out there hip hop, but really heavy so might not be your thing)
Buck 65 - Square
El-P - Cancer 4 Cure
JJ DOOM - Keys to the Kuffs
Injury Reserve - Floss

I'll give them a chance. Being a world class philistine when it comes to hip hop, I might not like any of it.

Pharrell - Happy

Pharrell is a talented guy and that was a great pop track. Nice theme, fun, gets people's heads bopping. Good track imo come at me bros.

It got way overplayed but ja, good tune. Almost posted it myself.

I mean, for reelz?

I think the Madonna track is allright. I used to have the CD a long time ago.
