Linus says he is a top 40 listener.. Let's recommend some actual music for him.

Linus has been saying this in videos regarding audio gear for some time. But not only that top 40 music is bad, it also doesn't suit well for listening tests because of "Beats-type" mixing(of course varies, but seems to be a trend). So lets list some great music for him, which doesn't suffer from trying to sell or generally sound unsurprisingly boring.

Linus is a curious human being. I guarantee he will try something out from this thread if he sees it.

I'll list something a bit later.

Top 40 is THE most popular music.... in your opinion it is bad but clearly millions of people disagree

 

Music is like THE most subjective thing ever, recommendations are tough and people will always like things different to you. You just have to appreciate peoples taste.

tbh the only thing I like dubstep for is testing speakers. The extreme bass and treble can easily sound mushy if you play it through a piece of shit.

This.

 

I will never be friends with someone into Bieber and Cyrus and don't care for the radio these days. But if someone wants to listen to that, that's on them. I'll listen to things I wanna listen to. Simple.

 

 

I'm sure someone on LTT probably loathes dubstep or groups from the 60's like The Temptations, not going to sway me one bit. I have a varied taste of music that either annoys someone or makes someone else have something in common with me. Billions of people on the planet, can't please them all.

That is what I meant, appreciate that it is their taste not yours, that they are free to like what they like. I just thought it was a nice way of saying not giving a shit

It is extremely true that it's subjective. But how can one know what he likes of if he hasn't heard of anything else than that what is advertised by big record companies? I don't know anyone who has done some musical exploring and gone back to pop completely.

I agree with you two completely in that that what someone does is none of anyone else's business. He may be happy with that what he listens and that's nice. But it doesn't mean that he couldn't enjoy something else even more. Intention of this thread was to list something else for Linus and possibly other pop-listening people in a friendly and nice way so they can try it if they want to do such thing. I worded opening post a bit badly, I admit.

 

How about this?

 

pls. :D
