2020 was the worst year of my life, but it definitely had its upsides with music. Not just within my annual laundry list of albums I enjoyed this year, but with pop as well. So much to the point that I ended up eating my words on some artists (yes, plural) that I never thought I would have anything nice to say about. That’s how crazy of a year this was.

Welcome to the Music I Like video! Every couple years since 2015, I’ve posted an updated version of this video, so in honor of the 10 year anniversary of my channel’s creation, how’s about we upload the 5th edition? This video chronicles every artist I like a significant amount of music by, and now including the many artists I’ve gotten into since the last edition. Despite this being a complete ripoff of a video MuesProductions used to have on his channel, I hope you guys enjoy this!
Is there an artist you would like me to check out based on the names you've seen here? Let me know in the comments, as I love looking into new music. Please note, I would prefer if you would not suggest any country, EDM, crunkcore or black/brutal death/slam/grindcore metal (specified to the best of my abilities to avoid any "hypocrite" cards for my use of the term "extreme metal"). I can't stress this enough, but base any suggestions you give me off of the names you see in this video. Also, before you make any suggestions, be sure to go back to where the artist would be alphabetically in the video to make sure I don’t already have them listed- a lot of people seemed to make that mistake in the past.
Hopefully there's also that chance I gave you some ideas for artists to check out if you're into the genre they play. That's something I take much pride in doing.
ALSO, I'm not gonna be answering any comments claiming I've "misclassified” or “mislabelled” a band. So if you leave any comments saying “(band) isn't (genre), it's (genre)!" I will likely ignore it. However, if there's a really serious typo (i.e. "progressive metal" when it should say "progressive rock"), please let me know! I made a point to pay close attention for typos, hopefully there wasn't anything I missed.

I talked about Metallica in this series years ago, now it’s time to talk about the second most famous band of the Big 4 of thrash metal, Megadeth, who happen to be my favorite of the four as well as perhaps my favorite thrash metal band responsible for one of my favorite albums, “Rust In Peace”. In addition, this video covers issues ranging from the band’s inconsistent lineup, Dave Mustaine’s disagreeable beliefs, and the “rivalry” between Megadeth and Metallica.

►My facebook: facebook.com/RanterInShadesOfficial ►The DiscordInShades: discord.gg/AKXCZhxqbyI went to my 100th concert (and talking about others Ive been to since the pandemic)RanterInShades2022-02-08 | After going to my 100th concert last night, I figured I'd revamp the shirt collection series as a live vlog of sorts talking about all the concerts I've been to since they came back.
I apparently don’t like women, guys! I’d love to know where this person gets this idea, I bet there’s no grasping at straws going on at all no siree. I found these from using the term search function, and I recognized this guy’s name from Diamond Axe Studios’ big cameo-fests. Figured I’d try making this a #shorts thing, not sure what the likelihood is of me doing this again.
FYI in case anyone brings this up, the reason I didn’t censor any names is because anyone could easily use the term search function on Twitter like I did to find these posts, and while I understand why people do it, this factor renders censoring the names pointless. My intent with this is not to send people to attack this guy or start drama with him, but rather to point out how clueless people look when they make a bold claim about someone with no examples or evidence. As well as to make an example of how shit-talking someone can come back to bite you in the ass. I may not be on Twitter, but don’t think that means I don’t have my ways of finding things like this.

As great of a year as 2021 was for me, there was still some 2020-esque negativity present that I’m gonna get out through going over the 10 songs I disliked the most on the Billboard Year-End chart. #MakePopMusicGreatAgain
With all the talk of YouTube potentially hiding the number of dislikes on videos, let's talk about the roles that dislikes actually serve, including a rundown of the like to dislike ratios on all of my videos to enhance my points.

While I don’t view it as “cancel culture”, and while I can acknowledge instances where it can be a valid observation to point out, I explain in this video how the argument that a piece of work “hasn’t aged well” or “doesn’t hold up” can be contradictory to why it exists, since the primary purpose of music, film, TV shows, etc. is entertainment. Along with discussing the purpose of art and why we enjoy it, we also talk about storytelling, how comedy works, seeing value in a work that contrasts what the artist thinks about it, and what propaganda is.

"Why do you always have to look on the bright side?" "Somebody has to."
I submitted a clip to get featured in Old School Lane’s livestream celebrating the 25th anniversary of Hey Arnold. The clip gives a short explanation of how the themes of optimism present in Hey Arnold rubbed off on me. If you’ve been watching me for a while, this should not come as a surprise to you. It’s kind of crazy to think that Craig Bartlett, Jim Lang, and others that worked on the show got to hear my voice as I talked about this.

This is an analysis of the feud between Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Machine Gun Kelly regarding the latter’s place in rock and his attitude about not getting the treatment he wants. I basically point out the faults of both sides of the issue and how they’re both guilty of exhibiting bitterness, along with giving my overall thoughts on MGK and the role he’s playing in rock.

The metal elitist well is kind of running dry for me and I am finding myself losing interest in the subject, so before the time comes where I’m officially done with it, let’s laugh at some silly comments one last time.
Also I lied in the description of the cancel culture video about that being the last video I filmed in my old house, now this one is.

Please don't let the thumbnail worry you!! I'm fine. This video wasn't inspired by anything other than the subject simply bouncing in my mind until I felt compelled to start a script.
In this Word Analysis, we cover “cancel culture”, how it’s used, how it gets misused or misinterpreted, how it can be used as a tool for gatekeeping, the concept of consequences, the nature of apologies, and everything in between. With how complex of an issue this is, I tried to be super thorough in covering all the bases and explaining my perspective. Hope I did a decent enough job. #CancelCancelCulture
This is also the last ever video made in my old house, so with my greenscreen being packed up, I also tried to take a bit of an experimental approach to editing. It’s sort of a mix of my pre-2018 and post-2019 editing styles. Hope you guys like it! It’s probably something I’ll do in future videos as a means of making the fast pans and pan zooms pop more.

2020 was the worst year of my life, and these are the 10 songs on the Billboard Year-End chart that supplemented that fact. Usually, I post this video after Best Songs, but I figured a year like this deserved a little shaking up because I certainly had a lot to say about it.

And you get to see my first usage of some plugins I got for Final Cut!
Also note that when I say just “Jovi”, that’s referring to the band as a whole, not just Jon.

Lots of things in media get called “ripoffs”. This video explains what I view as “ripping off”, and what I think gets mislabeled as being a ripoff, such as throwback bands, bands that have a distinct influence from another artist, and artists that have been taken to court for allegedly plagiarizing someone. I also talk about sampling and parody, and how they differentiate from eachother as well as how they differentiate from ripping something off.
There’s also some subtle irony in the fact that I’ve been called a ripoff of both CoverKillerNation and Razorfist lol.

Chris Taylor Brown of Trapt is basically the right wing equivalent of Buddy Nielsen, and the spats he recently got into with people like Tilian Pearson of Dance Gavin Dance and Riley Gale of Power Trip among others pretty much prove that. This video isn’t so much discussing Chris’s political opinions as it is commenting on the terrible PR exhibited.
