Sasha Frere Jones Perfect Recordings Volume 1 - Poll

It's essentially a list of famous, mostly downbeat and slow, pop songs from his lifetime. Yawn.

there are maybe 4 slow songs on there. also SFJ is 12 years old. You are wrong on all counts.

I am shocked to discover that "Warm Leatherette" was not a US pop hit...Racoon, you steered me wrong.

I think this "canon" thing comes from the title of this thread, the SFJ piece about this doesn't mention that word.

i feel like most canon-constructing exercises don't "mention that word" either... basically any Important List published by a prominent critic or publication can be assumed to be an attempt to add to the canon, especially if so much of what it includes is already acknowledged in the canon

Raccoon double c better check the spelling

that's my favorite travie mcscott lyric
