Speed is not a substitute for substance.

It actually can be. In the case of Hamilton, the speed of the delivery of the lines allowed them to pack more information into a 3 hour show than you normally can in a musical. The number of words in Hamilton is like more than 1 1/2 times as many in the average musical of similar length.

And speed is a mark of a patter song, so.

Speed is *a mark* of a patter song.  But rhythm is the actual factor.

best album of all time. 

1. dear theodosia - probs not in the top 10 for a lot of you knuckleheads, but you’re wrong.
2. helpless - phillipa soo has me down for the count.
3. satisfied - a club banger.
4. you’ll be back - what I tried to tell my ex.
5. non-stop - this one has a little bit for everything. a versatile, crowd pleaser.
6. what comes next? - not sure why this guy gets a lot of hate, so catchy.

13. schuyler sisters - he should’ve tagged team them tbh.
14. who lives, who dies, who tells their story? - last song is a pretty underrated one.
15. that would be enough - a good song to drink whiskey to if you’re a sad boy like me.
16. take a break - why are soo’s songs so underrated?
17. say no to this - so relatable, right boys?
18. the story of tonight - let’s have another round tonight. my motto. unfortunately not much substance here. one of the shorter songs.

46. schuyler defeated - wtf

let's hear yours...

These rankings are abysmal.  You eviscerated any shred of what one may erroneously presume is culture based upon your creation of this thread.  I would hang my head in shame if I attached my name to this list, as you should but for the fact you have no shame to have such flagrant outliers.  You are a pit of despair, and I would slap you with a glove across the face if you were within reach.
