any fans of it here?

listened to a lot of it in the woolshed yesterday and have googled some other stuff i hadnt heard.

seemingly its the one of the biggest public music polls annually .1.5 million votes this year.

mostly alt/indie and its played on australia day weekend every year.

Can't stand it anymore, the last few years have been awful.

It's still hugely popular over here though, as the amount of votes suggests.

I'm new to it but it seems to be better than say fannings fab 50.

The music is current , not full of Katy perry etc (although the #1 is questionable the last two years).

Was it much better years ago?

seemingly it's THE biggest music poll in the world

Was listening to it in the woolshed as well on Saturday.
had to Shazaam #1.
Thrift Shop or something?
Horrible, ploddy, directionless, trendy tune.

Had a look at the top 10, happy with Tame Impala, Alt J and Frank Ocean, but the rest ain't great. Number 1 is catchy I guess.

Well Australia is 11 hours ahead so that song will be popular here soon !

Gonzovision

I think the Heist is actually a pretty good album.

Only started listening to Macklemore myself, , now im not hugely into rap but i like his stuff, not the usual ****e, a bit more down to earth and easier to relate too. So far im realy liking his stuff specially

It didn't fill me with confidence or invite me to check out anything else on the list to be honest.

Love Macklemore. Great mix of serious and funny tunes, and I'm not normally a big hip-hop fan.

Ballerina

I love it it always introduces me to new artists/songs

also makes me wanna move to Oz:cool:

Scar Tissue

If you're planning to judge Macklemore off of one of his less serious songs, don't bother.

Since it was announced that Macklemore made number one I've been wracking my brains for the reason why I had an immediate dislike of him. Today the penny dropped and the link was made :mad: -

I watched it with the sound off. It looked like something I would not like.

Then I made the mistake of watching it with the sound on. Ugh. I was right.

Amazingly i don't think it's that bad, much worse hip/hop out there, at least he hits some of the elements of what hip/hop is. Knowing where your from and proud of it.

Not saying he's the next scholar poet but there are far far worse than him out there.
