My 10 albums, you know that thing on social media where you post 10 albums? Part 2 of 10

I remember the sound of what reminded me of a vacuum cleaner, in a few songs. Also now, in retrospect I get why I would confuse parts of one group’s songs with other group’s material.

IT WAS BECAUSE THEY WERE INFLUENCED BY EACH OTHER

For instance, in ‘Another One Bites the Dust’, by Queen. If you listen, there’s a really hardcore synthesizer part that’s VERY dark side of the moon, that is clearly a nod to the keyboard revolution Pink Floyd had been doing at that time. Also, the song ‘Time’ by The Alan Parsons Project also feels within this vibe for me. I love that song.

Also.. I feel that this ability to connect influences between songs has turned me into a strange human version of ‘Shazam’ that can spot similarities across genres and generations. This is perfect for a DJ or mashup artist. I’ll use it for my cover songs… because let’s face it, these days,

NO ONE WANTS TO WAIT FOR YOU TO PLAY MASTER OF PUPPETS ALL THE WAY THROUGH UNLESS YOU ARE METALLICA OR A SPECIFIC TRIBUTE

I heard Billie Eillish’s song and was immediately singing the song, ‘People Are Strange‘ by The Doors that I already recognized in her music. I don’t look for this stuff, it just creeps up on me when I hear music. Thus, when I can’t get away from it, I make the mashup.
