So yeah, I've been distracted, but the day is still young, so I figure it's time to get started with this.

I like this list a lot. Not all the selections are too my liking, but for the most part, I have never felt greater solidarity with the board's mindset than I do for this period of singles. Glad to be here for this one.



you expose the film in me, SOMB.

first, is it too late to vote?

No, that joke isn't played out. Why do you ask, yancy?

Only if you're planning to vote for "Idioteque."

edit: temporary joke removed out of respect for Good Dr. Bill.

carry on!

I'll laugh until my head comes off

Get ready for a list full of Goo-Goo Dolls and Avril Lavigne.

I'm feeling good that my #1 is going to end up on the top of this thing.

I don't recall seeing any votes for my #1 at all, but I'm sure there must have been some.

Damn, me neither. Think that will hurt its chances?

And as I look to the stars

we probably have the same #1, and it's gonna be like top five.

edit: I'll be the first to say, wow how surprisingly low is that song.

Good start.

When I first heard that song I thought Ash would be my new favourite band. They always had a knack for great singles but never quite made an album that lived up to their best songs.

Not bad, anyway this guy can't sing, specially proved in this song.

page 1 request to NOT QUOTE ENTIRE BILL POSTS PLZ THX K

NEVER, i've been waiting all day to ask it..... glad Yancy got it in

We come here to rock the microphone

Wilco - "Can't Stand It"

Year: 1999

US Chart Position: n/a

UK Chart Position: #67

Acclaimed Music Ranking: n/a

AMG Says: "A quirky, engaging opening to the Summerteeth album, "I Can't Stand It" makes references to the dichotomy and juxtapositions that are all over the record. There is a balancing of joy and pain, resolve and regret. All of these thoughts are punctuated by a funky, swampy groove which is buttressed by Jeff Tweedy's 12-guitar riffs and the ornate chimes and piano, all of which create a dense panorama that is, in a word, striking."

honestly, is there a single word in the english language funnier than "buttressed"

hey, pretty much the only good Wilco song.

This is a highlight of Workout Mix #2 playlist on my iPod, kicks in just when I need my second wind on the elliptical trainer.

the first entry (Can't Stand it) from my top 100 just started! triple boo yah

Go GDB go.
Surprised that you selected to go with singles first. Usually LP's first. Must be something to do with SOMB mindset, right?

Nope. And it ties into one of the funniest phrases, "flying buttress"

Made a deal for some angel food

nah, I switch off. Last time I did albums first, time before singles, etc.

out of subect but do you get paid for hyping the golden arches?

I think it's just supposed to be funny because it's saying they would have sex with a burger.

It sounds like 1963

what SM said

Is anyone else getting 'unknown file' for that Wilco song?

oh shit, I knew there was a reason why I didn't use SendSpace for these lists. Fuck.

people you gotta tell me these things, I won't know on my own

Fixing files as we speak

I've actually gotten them all to work so far, but I had to rename the file myself to something with .mp3 extension.

yeah for some reason SendSpace doesn't like the "#" character

all right, links should be good now

Did I really put "Honey White" at #9? Wow. Great song though, so it deserves it.

I like the fun little facts that pop up as the songs play on realplayer.

I've been alone since '89

anyone got that mylo remix?

mylo = the rocking

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

This list is off to a bloody great start.

I think this song comes up more on my iPod than anything else and that is not a bad thing.

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? Ay ay ay, I am confus-ed.

grab the Morphine song; if you like it, you'll like everything they've ever done. If you don't, then you might not.

Much like Wilco, Son Volt has about 2 songs I like. That one isn't one of them.
