Since the start of 2026, the music world has changed
AI Music has now made up at least 28% up to 40% of daily uploads onto these platforms, and a decent chunk belongs to people pushing out AI music solely for profit over any form of creativity
 
With the addition of Spotify "carefully" labeling real musicians who do not use AI Generation, their requirements have left many musicians who don’t use any AI Generation and just below this requirement in the dust.

 
I feel that two additions to both of these platforms will let users / listeners who use these music platforms daily be able to fully understand in a complete transparent way on WHO they are listening to and WHAT they are listening to.
 
If there is enough evidence to show that the artist on this platform is AI Generated and not a real-life musician, it should have an "May Contain AI Generation" label on the artist profile itself, similar to how Spotify now has "Verified By Spotify" so the listener understands that the person behind the songs they are listening to with full transparency.
If there is enough evidence to show that the song on this platform is AI Generated, it should be listed next to the artist name on these platforms with "May Contain AI Generation", so if a listener finds the song on a "Mix" or a "Radio" they are listening to, they are able to view that the song could have AI Generation involved with it.
Considering that both of these platforms have allowed AI Generated Music to be put on the platform and have started to implement a crude method to verify musicians who don’t use AI at all, we need to at least have full transparency that the track was either made by a real human or made by an AI or an Hybrid AI/Human track

From lofi Indy to pure grunge Alt Rock glory to every offshoot 90s rock had to offer this band is imo THE ultimate most efficient and wideranging soundtrack to the 90s from Nevermind to 99 and the clever witty lyrics/delivery never cease. Show me a word that rhymes with Pavement and I will kill your parents and roast them on a spik.

Best song from "Tiny Music… Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop" or maybe from their entire discography. I'm listening this song for almost 1 week every day it's just mind-blowing.

hello everyone! does anyone in this subreddit fan of Soul Asylum/Dave Pirner? xx

I put this on YouTube over a decade ago… Chris’ guitar wasn’t hooked up so he just winged it. And did a mighty fine job, I might add. It’s a testament to who he was. We miss ya.

After ignoring them since the release of the single Sirens a decade and a half ago, I have found myself listening to band I grew up a fan of. Re- evaluating a discography after a few years away offers new perspectives.

I'll only rank everything up to Backspacer as I just am not familiar enough with the past 3 records.

1. VS
2. Yield
3. Ten
4. No Code
5. Vitalogy
6. Binaural
7. Backspacer
8. Avocado
9. Riot Act

Vs & Yield, for me, are the most playable, no skip albums.
Ten is what it is, a classic, but not without its flaws.
No Code, Vitalogy & Binaural more or less occupy the same space for me.
Backspacer & Avocado have their moments.
Riot Act is the album that put Pearl Jam on the back burner for me when came out in '02. An incredibly boring and uninspired record.

Of course, this is all subjective.

For me, it was “footsteps” on the Jeremy single

My jaw dropped,
I’ve never heard anything that touched me so deeply so fast

That’s when I became absolutely devoted.

Work is yours?
