13360343, Classic songs/albums from the past 5 years
Posted by Hitokiri, Mon Dec-23-19 03:20 PM
So up front, I know that there are gonna be people that say it can't be a classic until x amount of time. So if that's you, maybe sit this one out.

What songs or albums from the past 5 years would you say are classics?


13360347, theres been so much good stuff

I heard an NPR piece about this song recently and how it had become sort of a rallying cry for all the movements across the country (BLM, of course, et al) in response to all the videos of police murdering black people.

I don't think I realized, in the moment, just how important this song was and is.
13360544, I was at the protests and that was without a doubt the theme song.

Other stuff got played, but Alright was always played.
That song goes down in history based on that.
