i saw Jackson Browne many years ago, and i really enjoyed it. and i also like Imagine Dragons.
right now, my favorite band is The Killers (don't ask me why they chose that name, because i'll never know). i think Brandon Flowers is the best and most charismatic pop singer alive today.
The Killers were featured prominently in the music thread several years ago. The recommended song was “Shot at the Night”, which I know because I have all 91 recommendations from that thread in a Spotify playlist. I would share it if I could figure out how (probably will have to wait till I get back to my desktop).

It may be mainline as hell, but the new Mary Poppins movie has a terrific, old fashioned full orchestral movie score, with an overture and postlude, yet. The songs are quite a bit better in my opinion, than the original, which came close to ditties (except for the wonderful 'Chim-Chim-Cheree', in a minor key).
Also, why Justin Hurwitz's wonderful score for 'First Man' wasn't nominated for an Oscar defies me. It won the Golden Globe.
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.
