So I like a fair bit of music spanning lots of styles.. Who doesn't? (if you don't you are selling yaself short BIG TIME imo)
Anyway, what is a track from a genre you typically don't like (in my case hip/hop top 40) that rocks your boat?
Here is mine, I know it's not exactly true Hip Hop and is tres popular, but gotta hand it to the skinny honky - it's a massiv song and great lyrics too (his mom's sketty..).
Classic toon before running out for a grand final or similar I rekon.![]()
Great topic!
I HATE R&B, as in the modern R&B. But man oh man I LOVE The Weeknd. Although strictly it's not typical R&B, for one the guy expresses some massive crises of confidence.
By far my favourite album(s) of the year. Totally unexpected. I'm listening to it right now.
So here you go, nobody knew who he was for a while, similar to Burial. There are three albums coming out this year. Two so far. All completely free.
Download both albums here. One more to come this year. FREE:

That's the ticket fellas!
I've never really been a fan of countryfried music but heard this band about 7 yrs ago and they floored me. ![]()
This actually a cover (Townes Van Zant?) and has been featured on Breakking Bad too! Tow BIG ticks!
This one is a bit hard to classify... hip hop? Roots? RnB? Not my usual cuppa tea but a classic track with some dirty lyrics if you listen hard...
Luuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrve this..unusual selection for me............wannna do everything at a million miles an hour when I hear this rippin track!!!!!!
Not a fan of drum & bass (i guess i'm too old!) yet I still keep reaching for the Chase and Status album every time I get in my car... Awesome! ![]()
Right orn kiteboy dave. Always luvved that track - filthy in every way.![]()
Again RnB/Hip Hop is not my sorta stuff normally but i was lucky enough to twiddle some knobs for these guys recently (doing an acoustic version) and they are awesome people with oodles of talent to spare. Funky track. killer vocalist.
By the way ALL of the above are highly acclaimed, almost winning (famously) the Mercury Music prize, or Electronic Album of the Year etc. etc.
This one seems to be busting the genres. It has had over 27 million views on the tube.
Not into Metal at all, but cant enough of this track, makes me wanna go out and attack a certain fastfood franchise.
Righto..good toons left right and centre
but just to remind this thread is about posting toons that are from genres you normally wouldn't touch with a stick.
Speaking for myself I can't stand metal and would rather skol my own cold vomit.![]()
However this little ditty from 1991 gets me goin..![]()
(language warning!!
)
ok, this track does go back to my disco duck days, wasnt really into it but loved this track to death.
