Listening to the Isley Brothers singles in order will more or less give you the entire scope of American music from the 50s to the present.
Listening to Talk Talk albums in order will more or less help you experience God.
(there's my attempt)

Every few months we try to come up with "What was the greatest American Rock Band." There are a few candidates. I usually go with The Velvet Underground. Many say R.E.M.. Talking Heads have a good case.
The Beach Boys are the uncool answer but they very well could be the correct answer!

in his first english language address, Pope Leo XIV strongly criticized a "rigid devotion to war" that has taken hold in the hall of fame, noting BBWAA members must "search hearts, not just their heads" when voting for pitchers who played with big game grit and logged 3200 innings in 16 seasons

the clearest proof Jackie Robinson was one of the most consequential people in history is that nearly a century after he started playing baseball, cowards are still working tirelessly to shut him up
The Department of Defense deemed a story about baseball hero and civil rights leader Jackie Robinson's time in the Army as "DEI" and deleted it.

Weather forecasts have become much more accurate. A four-day forecast today is as accurate as a one-day forecast 30 years ago.

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.
Hearing reports that Musk’s cronies are targeting NOAA — infiltrating key systems and locking out career employees.
NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research and more. Their critical work saves lives.
My team and I are looking into this and we will not stand for it.
