Summary
Here are 72 tracks from the past 50 years that, to me, capture Charles and Erik’s personalities and points of view. This isn’t so much a progression or an evolution of one character’s musical taste so much as a static character represented by the music of any given decade. Poor Erik’s particular brand of existential angst wasn’t completely understood until the mid-90s when angry, moody alt-rock took over the universe, so his mix includes a lot of vicious lyrical cynicism, experimental guitar, and synth-heavy overly-dramatic power anthems. Charles, though. Charles hasn’t been properly understood by music since John Lennon was killed, but he still digs an upbeat love song or a groovy pop jam about togetherness and partying with your friends. And when they listen to songs that remind them of each other? In a word: perfection.
Please enjoy!
