a place for weird, unique, or oddly specific playlists


the rules:

  1. be civil. let’s try to keep our community as chill as possible. no bullying, zero tolerance for transphobia, hate speech or any of that bigoted bullshit.
  1. be content with the content. if someone didn't make a playlist the way you would, make your own and post it please. no bullying, no picking on, mocking or complaining about anyones playlist or musical tastes.
  1. remember: all music is good music to someone. general discussions about music you like and don’t like is fine, but please refrain from comments that will make someone feel bad about what they enjoy.
  1. no self-promotion. this is not a group for promoting your music or a business, website, app, instagram.. you get the idea. it's just playlists in here

Unpopular opinion: Limp Bizkits version is OK. You just have to ignore the fact that it's sung by the biggest douche in the world being mopey about being a douche.

Musically it's fine, and by any other band of the era it wouldn't have been so... icky.

And it's a lost opportunity - I'm sure Wes would've loved rocking out during the solo-section if he was still in the band at that point. But since he wasn't, they used some boring synth pads instead.

I'll go a step further and admit that I really like the cover.

I wouldn't go that far myself, but I can understand why some do. I was never really an LB fan, but I like a few of their songs, and Wes Borland is an awesome guitarist. I just consider Fred Durst to be a proto-incel who tries too hard.

He was well ahead of the curve on wearing red hats.

“And it's a lost opportunity” THIS! I like their cover of Faith and how they got aggressive with it. First time I heard Behind Blue Eyes I was primed and let down. Behind Blue Balls is more like it.
