A Moog tribute?

I think I'd add most of the songs on Revolver, especially "Good Day Sunshine."

"by your side" by cocorosie

"Da Rockwilder"

So true! The best beat on the album, and it lasts, what, less than two minutes?

Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 29 August 2005 14:34 (eighteen years ago) link

I need a 3min version
-- Arnault (arnaul...), August 23rd, 2005.
is this off the first or second album? i love the second.

Well, it's on their 3rd album : fosbury. A new style for them - more danceable and still great
But Take me back is a very simple pure pop song

Mira - "Heavenly Slumber" (ends too abruptly -- could've used another minute or two for a proper denouement)

Spacemen 3 - Transparent Radiation (the first version, the second isn't as great)
Devin the Dude's "Briar Patch" could go on for hours and I'd be happy.

Every song on Blind Idiot God's Undertow, esp. "Wailing Wall."
Jamie Saft, "T'Khelet," esp. the meditative ending after the vocals.

Oasis: "Married With Children". Should have added a little bit of bass, a couple more details in the arrangement and some backing vocals as well to make it really good.

Rihanna -- "James Joint" but make it 4X
Future feat. Drake -- "Never Satisfied"
Would say Jeezy -- "Win Is a Win" but it does work good as an interlude

Weird minor trend of dope hip hop/R&B tracks being minute-long interludes for whatever reason, basically.
