Should I download the Morphine and Son Volt songs, or wait until the album list and download the whole albums? Never heard either group. Hold on... do you y'all send the thing the albums on the album lists, Bill? mellow.gif Ay ay ay, I am confus-ed.


In the past he hasn't. I know for a few of the lists, we've had seperate threads with that, so be on the lookout for that or start it yourself once the list starts if you have any of it to post.

I had never heard this until now. This song is fucking great.

The whole album's great; get it in.

yeah, sorry TF, YSIs are for singles only. Doing it for the decade albums polls would just be too much for me.

Wilco - "Can't Stand It"





I thought it would be nice to up the B-sides to the two singles.

I believe I got the single with the live tracks before I got Summerteeth. It was an early favorite.

Look what we did, Paves! Unfortunately, this does not bode well for the rest of his fantastic EPs.

How high was "Gum" on our 2004 list? Surprisingly low here.

I overestimated its success based on the fact that most superpop singles that get hyped here are 1/100th as good as this.

song is ok.
The Good Dr Bill
yeah, not one of my favs. Awesome by turn-of-the-century R&B standards, but only so-so by Aaliyah/Timbo standards
theremin
So, I figured I'd get in the spirit of things, and listen to everything that I had previously brushed off.
I hate that ASH song. So damn sing-songy. Well, maybe that isn't it, since I like BDB. But this song is really horrible.

I love the go team song (and the video), voted for wilco and morphine.

Most everything else just bored me. I'd give the Jens Lenkman a bigger shot, had some interesting things going on, just a little.....bland?. The production on the Aaliyah is pretty cool.
Mitchell
"Girl From Mars" is great. It sounds like Dinosaur Jr. and has four solos. We are off to a good start here.

Hey, no need to apologize, you're doing so much already. I didn't think there were YSIs... as Efrim (I think it was him, I get confused with all the wrestling avatars smile.gif ) suggested, I'll probably just start a thread once the album poll begins.

I made the worst singles list of all time, forgetting The Good Life and about a zillion other songs I love, but I did vote for Jens at every opportunity. Let's hope "You are the light" does better.

Yeah i'll chip in to a fish 1995-04 thread.
The Good Dr Bill
oh and btx that Coldplay song was a horrible, horrible choice. A pox on those of you who voted for it. Luckily, we hear from one or two of their better contributions later on in the list.

Yeah why that's the most played single from the album in this country still is a mystery to me.

I'm with you on 'Are You That Somebody' - that's nearly 'Try Again' level. The rest I quite like, but not on that level. 'Try Again' is special pop for me. Somewhere below 'Crazy' and above 'Toxic'.

"Shady Lane" seems awful low.

I do love this list so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for "You Are the Light".

You ppl are forgetting 'We Need A Resolution'! - on par with '... Somebody' better than all the rest. And I'm sure that can't be *acquired taste* speaking..

Good list thus far. It's nice to see all the middling rock like Pete Yorn go out early. I hope this bodes well for the Jaxx and all things electronic, homosexual and/or kittenish in nature.

Streets song is easily the best thing we've seen. The Rokysopp remix is one of the best musical encapsulations of the dance culture I know of. It's "Losing My Edge" for British blokes.
theremin
Pete Yorn track is great.

I dunno why Shady Lane isn't higher.

I feel like I like the streets, but I don't think I really like any of the things posted on people's singles lists. I'll have to review further.
