Sorry, no exceptions. That door is closed and I've lost the key. Or maybe swallowed it. And no, she hates most metal, other than Maiden. She's more into Queen and Bon Jovi. Still want her?

Leave it to Urban to make the point clearer and better than I ever could.

Now you know as well as I that songs like that are the exception rather than the rule.

Or just straight up singing.

I don't even consider that to be rap. It's more like a gospel tune.

Just because "Rapper" is in his name doesn't mean everything he does is rap. That is more like a R&B tune by a 70s singer/songwriter than it is rapping or "gospel."

Del the Funky Homosapien was a bit melodic in his delivery. He didn't speak the words.

It still fit my point about rappers doing some singing along with rapping. I just didn't feel like posting a video from Drake or Childish Gambino and went with Chance. There are others as well but he fit my point.

that's fine that you don't consider it rap but it was included on the an album that won Best Rap Album at the Grammys last year.

Oh and here I thought your post was about Pink Floyd. Thanks for elaborating!

My take on The Grateful Dead is that their vocalists were too weak, and yes, their instrumental interludes were often rambling affairs that could've done with more power and more musical ideas. But let's not forget that a lot of their albums were live - exploring what happens when audience and artist alike are hallucinating a mile a minute on LSD etc. In some ways, those albums are more like "you-had-to-be-there" documentary evidence.

There's just one (studio) album I'd strongly recommend; on American Beauty everything fell into place as never before or since. A great album in and of itself, it also works as a gentle, sympathetic guide to bring you back from the pyschedelic outer limits of your own skull:-

I like Grayfolded. It's a plunderphonics record that uses Dark Star recordings.
