Windrose is a pretty good game but the shanty button makes it peak.

Could use a bit more variation though. It gets old pretty quick.

Straight banger.

Funnily enough, I picked it up many many years after it came out, being able to sing along to the shanties hooked me!

In terms of sea shanties, and I’ll be the first to say for a 40 year old my taste in music is… Eclectic to say the last, but there is a recording out of the 60s that is the quintessential collection of sea shanties and it is absolutely amazing.
riverdoc@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
So you’re just going to causally mention a quintessential collection of sea shanties without giving any details?

Sorry I didn’t really feel like doing the leg work but here you go.
I swear to God I have this vinyl somewhere in my house but I haven’t seen it in years and haven’t listened to it in years.
But it is quite quite good if you are able to find a digitized copy of it somewhere or the original which is extremely hard to find nowadays.

One of my early introductions to the genre, love that video. There’s something deeply spiritual about a crowd raising their voices in song, thank you!

I just happened to create a “sea” Playlist, mostly consisting of Barrett’s Privateers. Thoughts on the flavors:
- Stan Rogers. Og version. Actually one of my favorite.
- The Wellermen. Good variety. Changing vocalists and drums add a lot.
- Kingston Trio. Classic folk band, acapella, I think this is the only other variant I’ve heard that matches the original lyrics. Would recommend.
- Jonathan Young. Metal version. I really want to like this, but it is simultaneously both too metal and not metal enough.
- The Real McKenzies. Love the fast tempo, but I find the change in lyrics extremely annoying.
- The McCalmans. Change in tempo and change in tune make this unenjoyable.
- Gustavo Steiner. Sad guy on a guitar. If that’s your thing you might enjoy this, otherwise, no.

We seem to have the same opinion on Jonathan Young

Good list! Ole Stan is the Goat, here’s my lubber thoughts, listening:
Stan: (literally the FUCKING GOAT)
Wellerman: Too polished, too harmonic, lacking the fuck my life feeling of the song
Kingston Trio: wayyy too harmonic, too jaunty. Fuck, sing a fun song without a perfect harmony
Johnathan Young: not all fantastic inspiring songs need to be ballads. It is a great song! But not fitting.
Real Mckenzies: fantastic “let’s FIGHT” vibe
Alas, alack, I think still Stan!

One time in high school this girl came up to our lunch table and said “isn’t it funny how white people have no culture?” so I looked at the only other white guy at the table and sang the first line to this song, and then he sang back. We had never even discussed it before, lucky guess that he knew it. Everyone else asked wtf that was and I said “oh you wouldn’t understand, it’s a white people thing”.

It’s not that white people have no culture,
It’s that everything that originated from a predominantly white cultures get labeled either as “colonizer culture” or as a “white supremacist dogwhistle.”
Also, if anyone claims that something is a “white culture thing,” then suddenly they’re racist.
If you don’t believe me, just show up to a multiculturalism group and try to celebrate Irish culture or mention being proud of your irish heritage. They’ll assume that makes you a white supremacist and chase you out.
