I've never even heard of Aaliyah, and that's not a troll.

Quite frankly, I didn't particularly care for most of her music. I didn't feel the need to make it a salient point and come marching into the thread telling people to get off it, though.

SRV was the last one to get me worked up when I was younger. I guess it was inflamatory saying whose death meant more to me rather then saying I just dont care. Its all kinda morbid, like trying to decide who died cooler, JC or JFK.

I remember seeing "Try again" on a hotel tv in Las Vegas back to back with D'angelo's "untitled" and thinking: r&b is going to be something to watch for the next few years. And it was true--for a while.

in retrospect, it's striking how she has not in fact been replaced by anyone. you can see/hear her influence all over the place (ciara, cassie, etc.) but if anything a little distance makes her seem more distinctive. and boy do her records still sound good.

recently i read some random last.fm user claiming that the baby sample on "are you that somebody" was from a home video of aaliyah herself at 18 months. i hope that's true!

i remember exactly where i was when i found out - hmv oxford, in the dvd aisle. on the phone to a friend who also loved aaliyah. had to take a moment in a quiet corner of the shop.

I was in Germany, getting ready to leave Luebbeck to head for Luzern, Switzerland on tour with the BSO; the only people in the choir who even knew who she was were me, my wife, and a friend we'd made before joining the chorus who encouraged us to audition.

listening to the self-titled for the first time in many years and it's. . .oh, let's just say a hundred times better than i remembered it. and i remember thinking at the time, "she died after making her best album." untimely death or no, what an amazing album.
