My old band used to play a cover of Song 2 by Blur, it's like the only thing I know by them but I plan on listening to more of them in the future. I also low-key shit bricks when I found out the lead singer of Blur is 2D in Gorillazon the whole i've been listening to a lot more indie shit as of late - mainly from blur and arctic monkeys prior to their AM album. i wanted to just dump some of my favourites here.

I LOVE Green Day, what are your top 3 albums? Also who's your fav member, I'm curiousView attachment 289252
I like this album a lot, especially Nuclear Family, Let Yourself Go and Oh Love. Starts great, ends great.
If any Gamers™ remember Green Day from their wacky appearance at The Video Game Awards 2019, I suggest listening to their stuff on Spotify. It's really nice.
yeah i changed my soundcloud.If you're into jazz, I'd recommend giving this album a listen:
Nat Adderley and Cannonball Adderley (Digital Only)

Honestly I like the Stars of St. Petersberg recording of Korobeiniki more than the Red Army Choir one. It feels more in line with how I imagine the piece was intended to sound, even if they’ve opted to forgo singing.☭ red army choir beats ☭
i'm gonna personally rank all the Red Army Choir songs i'm familiar with. honestly they were bigger part of my music some years ago, but i figure they're more accessible then the shit i listen to now. be aware that I'm talking about the Red Army Choir versions. you can usually find alternate versions that are both different and good. also i'm only giving romanized version of the song names bc im lazy
ranked within tiers as well
Partisan's Song. You ever wanted two straight minutes of perfectly steady escalation from the Choir? Of course you did. Who the fuck wouldn't. Put the volume up. My pick for 1.
Polyushka Polye. I don't conceptualize PP as a slow song. Maybe it is partially, but most slow songs don't give you chills like this one does for me. Whether you're burning up with anger, determination, or sadness, it's a great one to shout sing if you're into that. Either way, it just gets better the more you listen to it, both within the first listening and over time.
The Red Army is the Strongest (White Army Black Baron): One of my two firsts. If someone asked me to communicate the Choir with one song, I'd pick this one. It's just so balanced in a great way. This is not the RAC version, but a banger in its own right, and puts the great majority of AMVs to shame. Basically the whole first minute still gives me chills. What hand gestures can I do to summon imperial battleships.
Smuglianka. The other of my two firsts. Absolute icon, imo the Choir's best slow song. It keeps steady but engaging pace so well, it's so rich vocally, and the lyrics tell such a precious story.
My Army. Honestly just both pumping and heartwarming. Reminds me a bit of Let's Go (below) but I believe it's a good margin better. Masterful control of intensity. A real dark horse to make it into my S-tier, but man, just listening to it again makes me smile.
Farewell of Slavianka. The "third" of my two firsts. Like with White Army Black Baron, it's really balanced and representative of what I know of the Choir. A pinch less majestic/epic, perhaps, but the chorus gets you pumping. I'd like to also call attention to the 1984 version, which I don't believe was done by the Choir but takes an emotional and very good spin. Farewell, familiar faces... This White Army version is also excellent, even if a bit counter to, well, the Red Army Choir.
Moscow Nights. Rediscovered this one, and I'm glad I did. It probably slips under the radar, but I really feel like it brings the most out of its vocal talent. A markedly quiet song in a way, not in volume but in letting the world do its thing.
Soviet Anthem. Let's not kid ourselves. This is good.
Bella Ciao. I used to have a bit of an Italy Sucks phase so I didn't bother, but minor tragedy that I didn't, distinctively RAC and great rendition of a great song. partisan squad, goodbye fascists
Troika Galop. I'm not quite sure how to categorize this one. Not quite catchy to me in the conventional sense, but it's just a super fun jive up and down some metaphorical sledding slope.
March of the Defenders of Moscow. Quite a good romp and extremely solid, but I can't help but think it'd be significantly upgraded with a bit more speed and a pinch of flair. I remembered finding such a version, but I can't find it now =(
Katyusha. I assume a more well-known one. I honestly have to be in the right mood to really love (ha) Katyusha, but the instrumentation is so beautiful and it's well known because it's good.
Souliko. I used to just not have the patience for this song. But I think I kind of like it now. And it's Georgian too =)
Along Peterskaia Street. Good vibes only in the chat. You'll get it four notes in.
Let's Go. Definitely one that's spent some time in my playlist, and very close to A, but not quite as stand-out compared to the others for me.
Ah Nastassia. First half is super catchy, even if you don't get the lyrics at all. ay nastasia i nastasia... that's all I need for it to get stuck in my head. But I do not like the second half quite as much!
Korobelniki. Funny better Tetris theme. Beautiful vocals but the instrumentation/flow feels a bit confused and broken up to me, and the tune is pretty familiar. Has some pretttty sick moments.
My Country. It's beautiful, but it doesn't quite click with me. Something about the flow/pace and vocals don't seem to line up for me. Still, though, I would certainly call it good.
i don't think any tiers below "good" are necessary
it took two double takes for me to realize you didnt say Katyusha. i guess i dont get to call you basicHonestly I like the Stars of St. Petersberg recording of Korobeiniki more than the Red Army Choir one.

Also Kalinka has been robbed HARD. That song’s an easy S tier.
