Yes. I also think Famous Cryp was one of last year's best mixtapes. However, I do generally think Blueface's offbeat style is a less interesting version of what the Stinc Team are doing, and I also think Boosie (among others) sounded better on the 'Thotiana' beat. But yes, it's still a good - bordering on great - song.

It’s catchy and has a good beat, but I don’t like the concept/lyrics/persona

The Moody Blues are a bunch of dorks.

I'll be the contrarian Paul Butterfield pick because "East West" is a classic, and Mike Bloomfield angered a bunch of hippies with 'lectric Dylan.

Also, my spelling of 'airplains' is a bit worrying.

Yeah, you're destroying my bias that you Brits are better educated and just plain better with language than us Yanks. 😲

There was a reason I kept the title and all the option on "Blues."

Oh- I duffed up there then 🤣 Also, just noticed the Blue Aeroplanes in Dihanse's top 10 so we can talk about them on that thread instead. Also, my spelling of 'airplains' is a bit worrying.

If you throw in just "Blue" as well, it gets unwieldy; sooooo many options.

There's new wave band the Blue Airplanes as well. Don't know if they are any good though . I'll vote Moody Blues as I really like what I've heard of them though I don't know the other bands.

There have been a good number of bands who include the word "Blues" in their band name. Ironically, most of them are not strictly blues music. Which "Blues" band do you prefer?
