Weird Al is a talentless hack who just makes lame jokes using other people's work. Literally doesn't make any thing orginal himself. There's some who are worthy of being the modern day mozart and it's sure as shit ain't weird Al.

Alternative suggestions

Stevie Wonder

David Bowie

Thom Yorke

Kendrick Lamar

Björk

Surfan Stevens

Damon Alburn

Michael Gira

Trent Reznor

Dave Gilmour

David Bryne

And Andre 3000

I love it when my tags are vindicated. Here I had you tagged as 'tasteless asshat', and I clearly couldn't have been more right.

How do you tag on lemmy?

I use Sync, but I'm pretty sure there are multiple apps and/or browser extensions that will do it for you.

Literally doesn't make any thing original himself.

Apart from all his original lyrics and musical arrangements, I guess this is true if you, y'know, ignore all the other original music he releases.

You couldn't scroll past this meme without letting us know your music preferences, it must have been hard trying to resist the urge.

I wouldn't say Weird AL is a talentless hack but you are right, he plays other people's music and not known for anything he's written. It's not fair to compare him to a composer. Weird Al is more like a member of the orchestra.
