"Love Hurts" by Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. Heartbreaking and honest.

The Replacements - Alex Chilton
I'm in love with that song. (I've just noticed I've been listening very frequently to this one for the past 3 years)

"Vapour Trail" by Ride is the only one that has proven the test of time. I guess I'll check back in a couple years with "Good Girl/Carrots" by Panda Bear, and for "The Past Is a Grotesque Animal" by Of Montreal.

TV on the Radio - staring at the sun
This song is all about the sexual tension. Tunde filling up space with several metaphors about sex while an expanding wall of sound threatens to fall over your head at any moment and yet... the climax never arrives. It's all dry sex. I find it exquisitely frustrating. No need to fix anything. Just clean up and go home.

Fr'instance, Adventures in Solitude by the New Pornographers I could and have listened to for hours on end, but it's not even close to one of my favorites.
I concur with the first part but not the second. The chorus of that song represents the teleportation to a sense of infinity within the inner utopia of the bladder.

Wow, you guys are on a roll.
"Ambulance Blues", Neil Young
The composition of the song is incredible. I guess it's possible to interpret the thread question a few different ways. One way is to think of songs that you could listen to every day of your life FOREVER. Another is to think of a song that could go on forever, as one long play. I think "Ambulance Blues" is a decent example for that category. The verses, choruses, bridges, and solos fit together so neatly that it seems unfair to have to drop an ending in there.
― Z "R" S (Z S), Sunday, 5 October 2008 22:43 (fifteen years ago) link
good call on "Ambulance Blues", and that crazy long ass song on the first Neil Young album too, that thing feels sort of infinitely extendable
today, I'd say"He Loved Him Madly" Miles Davis"Bel Air" Can"Belfast" Orbital"Soliloquy for Lilith" Nurse With Wound"I Don't Stand a Ghost of A Chance with You" Chet Baker"In C" Terry Riley"All That I've Got Is You" Ghostface Killah"Beholding the Throne of Might" Darkthrone"Contort Yourself" The Contortions"Heard It All Before" Sunshine Anderson

"Under the Bridge" by the Chili Peppers. Yeah, they get shit on. I don’t know, you can look at any band—now that I’m babbling, I think there’s a big trend in music today. I don’t want to say popular music across the board—maybe I do—but at every level, from stadium country music all the way to Pitchfork darlings, whatever the hip shit is, I feel like cats by and large do play it very safe. I’m not knocking anyone, but whatever the stylistic confines are of the day, I feel like everyone is damn sure they don’t fuckin’ step outside the parameters.
There’s several bands that are still in it who existed before that trend, and in my mind as a fan are just completely untouched by it. To me, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are just one of those bands. I’m not saying there’s stuff you can’t dis them for. I mean sure, even Christie Brinkley takes a stinky shit every once in awhile.
