0 .Archers of Loaf - "Freezing Point" [from the Peel session]
As a lurker reading this thread I can't help weighing in at this point. I know you people have better taste than me in music but these lists seem sorely lacking.

1. Mazzy Star - "Into Dust"
2. Air - "Ce Matin La"
3. Orbital - "Belfast"
4, DJ Shadow - "Stem/Long Stem"
5. The Pixies - "Dig for Fire"

Bel Biv Devoe "Poison" - Yes.

A Tribe Called Quest "Electric Relaxation"
Souls Of Mischief "'93 Til Infinity" - Yesss.

Ween "Baby Bitch" Jackpot!

I realize that I also neglected to mention Future Sound of London. I would really have to go with "Q" (as Mental Cube). Ah, screw it, "Papau New Guniea" is their best song but the other one's really good too.

I've never heard of this magnet magazine you speak of but in any case I think the real question you're trying to ask here is:

Since when did magnet magazine stopped caring about awesome music? And also at which point did I became such a jaded and pedantic person that feels the need to oppose idealisticaly the almost perfect homogeneity and righteousness of the hivemind.

OK, deliberately limiting myself to one track per 'artist':

2) My Bloody Valentine - Off Your Face (Glider EP, 1990)
3) Slowdive - Slowdive (Slowdive EP, 1990)
4) Boo Radleys - Foster's Van (Boo Up! EP, 1991)
5) Telescopes - Ocean's Drive (untitled album, 1992)
6) Aphex Twin - Ageispolis (Selected Ambient Works 85-92, 1992)
7) PJ Harvey - Plants and Rags (Dry, 1992)
8) Hardfloor - Acperience 5 (1993? - I got it in 94)
9) Stereolab - French Disko (1993? - heard it on the radio then, but got it in 96)
10) Blur - Badhead (Parklife, 1994)

― scott seward, Saturday, 3 October 2009 20:26 (11 months ago) Permalink

Hardfloor were German. Motorbass were French, I think. I might be wrong, but I think Boards of Canada are/were Scottish.

Re: selections - Ride could easily have been Seagull or Chelsea Girl instead. My Bloody Valentine should probably have been Soon, but that's just too obvious. Boo Radleys could easily have chose something off of Giant Steps, but I really like that earlier EP. Telescopes could have been You Set My Soul instead. Aphex Twin could easily have been any of about 20 tracks from SAW I, SAW II and I Care Because You Do. Blur could have been Beetlebum. Motorbass is kind of cheating choosing two tracks, but they run straight from one to the other and I think of them as one thing.

― Teh Movable Object (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 3 October 2009 20:28 (11 months ago) Permalink

'Everlong' is killing me right now and it wasn't even my favorite song off of that album. Might be getting nostalgic because everyone I known is in the process of parting ways... moving to different cities, different circles of friends, getting married, working all day long, etc... and the lyrics and the memories they evoke are aching very hard today.

Yes.

Bonus #11 song:
Drive Somewhere - Vulgar Boatmen

Your bonus song is denied. Drive Somewhere is from the You and Your Sister album, released in 1989. Y'all got to wake up pretty early in the morning to get something Vulgar Boatmen-related past me, people.
