So in the midst of listening to Hamilton and browsing AN in my study break, I was wondering if there were any other Hamilton fans on here. My friends introduced me to it probably 6 months ago and I am obsessed. I am not usually a fan of rap but I love all the songs in Hamilton, Lin is an absolute legend and so many of the songs are lyrically and musically genius.
If you are in need of a Hamilton themed study break, this article is hilarious:
https://www.laughcrythink.com/blog/2018/3/3/the-definitive-ranking-of-the-top-12-hamilton-songs. I disagree with their top ranking but its interesting to see what other people think.
So I have a couple of questions:
1. What is your favourite song and why?
2. What do you think is the most underrated song?
3. Can you rap Guns and Ships?
4. Hamilton's sassiest moment?
This is mine:
1. So hard to choose, but probably Wait For It. Burr is such an interesting character and this song really captures his thoughts and struggles, plus the song is super catchy. Also special mention to Non-Stop, it's so satisfying when all the themes come together at once.
2. The Election of 1800 - it is so important for understanding the ending, and I love the chorus' part in this song ("ohh!")
3. Sadly no, I always get tongue tied
4. In Your Obedient Servant, "here's an itemised list of 30 years of disagreements", like damn Hamilton are you trying to get yourself killed??!
(As I write this I just listened to the part in "We Know" which goes "as you can see I kept a record of every cheque in my checkered history check it again against your list and see consistency" which just flows to smoothly and rhymes so well and ahh I just love it so much! Haha sorry)
Really hope there's some other fans on here, keen to hear other's thoughts!
