All time cancelled/morally questionable artist playlist? (lemmy.world)

Listened to Billie Jean while cleaning, wondered what the all time playlist might be.

I imagine Kanye, Clapton, Pink Floyd, James Brown, Ike Turner all make the cut with MJ but I'm curious what Lemmy comes up with!

I guess I'm too young to know why Pink Floyd is morally questionable?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 8 months ago

It likely has more to do with Roger Water's statements about Ukraine and Israel than anything Pink Floyd itself is about.

Roger Waters is a ~~conservative~~ antisemitic shitass, the rest are cool as far as I’m aware. I certainly havent let it stop me from enjoying pink floyd, though I have more trouble separating the art from the artist in other situations (lookin at you JK Rowling)

Conservative? I think you should check your own ass for shit since you’ve got it exactly backward.

Conservative? Last concert I saw with him he was liberal AF. On what do you base his conservatism?

PF (Gilmour et al) is conservative enough…rich old white dudes.
