Is there a half-decent thread about abolishing the monarchy?

Trying to think of an ILM thread about albums whose art/title gave you a totally misleading impression about what genre, era, etc. they would be from. i can't think of a specific such discussion, but seems like the kind of thing that would already have six threads (three from 2001-2004 and the others created at roughly five-year intervals).

there’s (at least) three from 2003:

Misleading Album Covers
Misleading Album Art
Pumping Iron: Deliberately Misleading Album Covers

Is there a thread listing singers who sound very similar?

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 12:29 (three years ago) link

i just did a search for "eddie vedder voice", assuming it would come up, but surprisingly it hasn't!

but no...i'm not sure i recall a general thread for that either...though, i'm far from encyclopedic on ILM

Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 14:38 (three years ago) link

I'm pretty sure there is no such thread and it's a good topic so I would support anyone who felt like starting one.

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 14:48 (three years ago) link

male and female singers who sound unnervingly alike ?

pplains, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 14:49 (three years ago) link

good call, I had missed that

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 14:51 (three years ago) link

i don't think it's too much to ask for a list of singers who go "yarrrrhhh" like eddie vedder

Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 15:13 (three years ago) link

mods please append "yarling" to thread title for easier access

What was the thread where I most recently got people really mad by being antinatalist

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Saturday, 26 June 2021 00:37 (two years ago) link

Was it on I love parenting?

Not ilx specific but there was a video doing the rounds maybe 2-3 years ago of an italian American dj talking into the camera with old school freestyle playing in the background & smoking a cigar & talking up him and his buddy, little help?

I have tried but I can't find a thread for the series THE AFFAIR starring Maura Tierney and Dominic West. I just finished it after forgetting about it for two years and now I need to discuss but I can't find where! halp

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 28 December 2021 21:26 (two years ago) link

was there a thread for THE HOUR that it got tagged onto? ... or one of The Wire threads?

sarahell, Wednesday, 29 December 2021 07:31 (two years ago) link

i have no idea! any links appreciated, i am very curious what other people thought about this show and that RARELY happens so i am indulging my curiosity

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 29 December 2021 15:20 (two years ago) link

I didn't see this series, but I did a search in the archives for "Tierney" and only found one or two posts that seemed to be about this show, no entire thread (unless it didn't mention her name).

Halfway there but for you, Wednesday, 29 December 2021 15:25 (two years ago) link

yeah that is what i found too -- lots of love for Maura T but no thread for this series! where she features prominently!!

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 29 December 2021 15:38 (two years ago) link

I did the same, seems like there were some posts on the '10 favourite TV shows' thread.

kinder, Wednesday, 29 December 2021 16:44 (two years ago) link

Poll:

Gene
Kieran
Maura

what's the recent ILM thread about songs where the narrator feels, like, "old before their time" considering the songwriter's actual comparative youth?

What is that thread where we note hilarity in the juxtaposition of a) the content of a post and b) the username/screenname of the poster?

Is there a thread where we can add the names of old celebrities you haven't heard about for decades and then you see them on Twitter, click their profile and find out they are now antivaxers / TERFs / Covid conspiracy theoriests / Trumpers / full-blown-QAnons?

Musicians whose political sympathies are to the right

Albums you own or used to own from artists that turned out to be awful people.
