Joni Mitchell rarely did covers. However, her cover of "Twisted" on "Court and Spark" is one of my favorites. However, I could not find any live version of her cover. Instead, here is a live recording of the writer of the song, Annie Ross, accompanied by Count Basie's band/orchestra.

First, there is no doubt about Steph as number one. Here are comments by Dirk on this topic: https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/nba/news/dirk-nowitzki-stephen-curry-3-point-record/1tr70o9o8iqj71nhckf95q9ppd As to the Larry/Dirk comparison, you seem to be cherrypicking a bit: we cannot count Larry's first years because he was not very good then, and we cannot count his last years because of his injured back. I agree with your point 3 that 3 pointers were were not a major focus. However, this argument can go either way. For one, because they were rare, defenses were not prepared for them. Second, it seems possible that in the early days players attempted a 3 point shot only if they were wide open. Nowadays, they have to fight for every opportunity, trying 3 point shots with defenders clinging to them.

You might not agree with her political views, but she has an amazing voice...

A video made in 1967, way before MTV. The whole budget was probably a few thousand pounds.

I am completely with you regarding the Talking Heads and The Police. I did not include them in my list because much of their ground-breaking stuff was made at the end of the 1970s.

Hüsker Dü Dire Straits The Smiths The Cure

There is a clear #1: Jane Kaczmarek as Lois Wilkerson in Malcolm in the Middle Equally entertaining, but more a candidate for the worst TV mom: Jennifer Saunders as Edina Monsoon in Absolutely Fabulous

Dirk might agree with you, but only because he is too humble to put himself in that spot. He is the only big guy in the top 20 three point shooters of all time.

Amy Winehouse Grace Slick Annie Lennox Joni Mitchell Sandy Denny

As to the bolded, it depends. I am in the lucky situation that our university has a university-funded student-run radio station, playing mostly indie stuff. Without KTXT-FM, my music collection would look (and sound) much bleaker. This is where I first heard The Black Angels.

Initially, what piqued my interest in Bongwater was a clip where Bob Weir plays guitar in their version of Screaming Jay Hawkins' "You don't love me yet". Actually, Hawkins starts the song before Bongwater's Ann Magnuson takes over. Bongwater was active only for a few years around 1990. Many of their songs were commentaries on fellow musicians or current events. Here is a full concert on French TV. A/V quality is substandard, but you still can get the gist of their performance.

It is very rare that a single athlete changes a whole discipline...

...a quite different style of guitar playing: Albert Lee

Here is a beautiful cover by an indie country/blues band, The Fancies. Sci-fi fans might have seen the female vocalist as actress. Do you recognize her?

The Shaggs were a band of teenage sisters whose father financed their first and only album. It sounds somewhat like unintended free jazz; I dare you to listen to the full album. Among the fans of the band were Frank Zappa and Kurt Cobain.

Instead of setting an age limit, why don't we make all political candidates take an IQ test or something like the Wonderlic at the NFL combine, and then publish the results. If someone decides to vote for a brain-dead politician, it is their prerogative.

Even for fans of "Family" their last album, "It's Only A Movie", is often just an afterthought. I like it; it is certainly a YES to Zappa's question "Does humor belong in music?". Tony Ashton's piano is a nice addition to their sound, especially on the title track.

Not a quick laugh, but a very funny (made up) story... https://27bslash6.com/missy.html

It was actually a few years before the Talking Heads in his "art pop" phase in the mid-1970s, when he also released "Here come the warm jets" and "Taking tiger mountain (by strategy)".

Brian Eno's only UK top 40 single...

For my taste, most of George Harrison's songs are sweet but pretty bland, including the two you link here. I like him better when he is more aggressive or chooses some unexpected topic. IMHO, his best song written for the Beatles... ... and his funniest - here in a live version by his son, Dhani Harrison.

The mastermind behind Car Seat Headrest is Will Toledo, the nerdy-looking guy with glasses on vocals and guitar. Most of their songs are longer than the average rock tune. Thus, in this clip you will have to be a bit patient before they really take off at about 2:20; it will be worth your time.
