You say snarky like it's a bad thing.

Wait, what the fuck is wrong with "Glad Girls"? Song rules. So does "Teenage FBI." What the fuck?

this was a single in 2004.

the Damnwells - "Sleepsinging"

Did a little substitution cause I can't believe I forgot this one.

Seriously. "Glad Girls" is the kind of song that should be getting votes from pretty much everyone.

giving this a bump

i like this song. i even uploaded it.
white town- your woman

I forgot "Your Woman". Good song. I wonder if it's good enough to be on my list.

not a terrible song (White Town), but i guess it kinda got annoying after awhile

an even more annoying song-- Geggy Tah "Driving in my Car"
all i wanna do is to thank you
even though i dont know who you are
you let me change lanes
while i was driving in my car
All i wanna do is to thank you
even though i dont know who you are
you let me change lanes
while i was driving in my car


shit,..... now i might have inspired votes for this song

called "Whoever You Are" actually

one of the stupidest songs in history

Ah... yes, so bad i couldnt remember the name. I HATE that song

rad

why no love for geggy tah?|

I don't really like Guided by Voices. Why are they good?

Are these actually singles?

"First Day" was, not sure about the Xiu Xiu.

amazing how things like this can completely esacape your mind for an entire decade and then come rushing back like this

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/xi...the_valley__oh/

yeah, they both are

Dimitri From Paris - Sacre Francais
Released: 1998

I've been rediscovering some great Cardigans/Cardigans-related singles that I haven't listened to in years (aside from the ubiquitous -but great- "Lovefool"):

"Carnival"
"Been There"
"My Favourite Game"
"Erase-Rewind"
"You're the Storm"
"For What it's Worth"
A Camp - "I Can Buy You"
(I wish A Camp's cover of "The Bluest Eyes in Texas" was a single)

Currently writing my list on papyrus.

sick and tired, rise and shine are also really good-- still love Life.

it's just a terribly annoying song..... K's Choice is flippin sweet though

Hey indie kids! Don't forget Ted Leo!

3 Britney songs in your top ten???
is there a some kind of veto available for this thread?

Pretty amazing that your first thought was "three Britney songs in the top 10?!" and not "two George Michael songs in the top 30?!"

That's a very very excellent list , one of the best ones so far. I assume that's an English or European poster.

didn't even notice the GM songs, why did they stick out to you?

I think Rebellion (Lies) was said to be 2005 (I had it on my list as well).

George Michael isn't the first artist who comes to mind for 95-04... but I haven't heard the songs, I guess they could be good. They were probably hits in the UK.

haven't checked through the list yet, but I hope "Fastlove" is one of them. Good song.

"Forget Me Nots" was better, and kinda tanked, didn't it?

uh, considering I don't think I've ever heard of it, I'll assume yes

GM really had a weird decade, didn't he

Well, arguably, if you've heard "Fastlove" then you've heard Patrice Rushen's "Forget Me Nots." (Though it's not out of the realm of possibility that I have the name wrong.)

I'm really glad to see votes for these. Great list.

oh yeah, I've heard the Patrice Rushen song. Thought you meant a GM one. I guess they are kinda similar.

Here I was thinking that I don't like Kylie Minogue, but turns out that "Love at First Sight" is awesome. I need room for it.

What I'm noticing is how badly my pre-2001 favourites are blowing away my post-2001 faves. I'm going to have to keep this a tidy 100, because this could get too massive if I'm not careful.

Wow, there are nowhere near enough votes for Freelance Hellraiser's "Stroke of Genie-us" as there ought to be.

I did my bit -- it's my #2. How many mashups are this much better than either of the tracks they mash up?

Jay Z vs. the Verve "Brush Your Bittersweet Symphony" is my fav

This would've gone high on my list had I made it two weeks ago, but Girl Talk has pretty much demolished my appreciation of the two-song mashup.

I just wanna say rateyourmusic kinda sucks. As you know, GDB, I'm not really very aware of singles, but I am a tremendous fan of polls, songs and Patty Griffin (not necessarily in that order). It takes some painstaking research for me to vote properly. I happen to be aware of some singles by Patty Griffin, but in looking to see what she's released since 1995, rateyourmusic lists zero singles. This is just untrue. Other artists I enjoy also show 1 or no singles during this time frame. I don't know if it's accurate in those cases. I do know voting is difficult for this reason for me.

here's my vote, for better of for worse:

1. Blue – Jayhawks
2. New York, New York – Ryan Adams
3. None of Us Are Free/Don’t Give Up On Me – Solomon Burke
4. John Walker’s Blues – Steve Earle
5. Lost Cause – Beck
6. Transcendental Blues/Everyone’s in Love With You/I Can Wait/I Don’t Wanna Lose You Yet – Steve Earle
7. Keep Me In Your Heart – Warren Zevon
8. Portland Oregon –Loretta Lynn

10. 41 Shots – Bruce Springsteen
11. Karma Police – Radiohead
12. Rain – Patty Griffin
13. Telephone Road – Steve Earle

65. The Laws Have Changed –New Pornographers
66. Feelin the Same Way – Norah Jones
67. One Big Love – Emmylou Harris
68. Not Pretty Enough - Kasey Chambers

This is hot. Why have I never heard (of) this? Why is it impossible to find on bluebird? When did this come out?

Wow, Elc, i love your list. I would have put "Not Pretty Enough" for Kasey, "Torn" gives me such nostalgia

my big challenge was figuring out what was a single. If I knew that was a single, I'd have definitely put it in there. Hey, GDB, can you throw that one in right after my last one, please? thanks.

and thanks for the kind words, hero. good to hear some occasionally.

i love alt.country.... i have some exposure, but i'm always looking for more alt.country artists.

I'll probably have "New York, New York" pretty high on my list as well
