DMX? Sisqo? THE BACKSTREET BOYS? Jesus H. Ramone, I am fucking STUNNED. Now I'm not one of those "Sleater-Kinney is the greatest rock band in the world and if you disagree you're a corporate tool of the Billboard charts" elitists, but DAMN. Blather all you want about 'great pop hooks' and 'catchy this' and 'danceable that', but my god, people! Agh! You might as well cram a 'best films of the 1970s' list with a load of Dino DeLaurentiis garbage. Anyhow. Here's my list. So far. In no particular order. Proceed to bitch. I don't care. DMX still fucking sucks. And "Stankonia" is the best album of the year, HA.
*Titan, "1,2,3,4" (They're not from Brighton. They're from MEXICO. And they still had a better album ['Elevator'] than Mr. Norman Cook...) *Fatboy Slim, "Drop the Hate" (...though they wouldna' if all the tracks from Halfway Between were this goddamned jump-up-and-freak-out- tastic.) *Blackalicious, "If I May" (Mystikal can try to Xerox Curtis Mayfield's falsetto all he wants- but Gift of Gab's the one that can actually emulate his *soul*.) *Papas Fritas, "Way You Walk" (I keep trying to place it in the context of a specific area, but I can't tell if it sounds '60s, '70s, '80s, or what. Maybe I'm reluctant to just stick it in the here and now because it works better as pop than any other song I've heard this year and may ever hope to hear in a while.) *Air, "Dead Bodies" (The percussion alone broke my jaw.) *De La Soul feat. 2/3 of the Beastie Boys, "Squat" (The creators of the two best hip-hop records of 1989- together at last.) *Elastica, "Generator" (Britney doesn't get me horny, but Justine Frischman does. Even my hormones crave the talented over the 'pretty'.) *Outkast, "Ms. Jackson" (OK, so I put 'B.O.B.' on more mixtapes, but this one's just got more to it, lyrically and melodically and FUNK-EH- ly..) *Roni Size and Reprazent, "Railing Pt. 2" (Best sequel since 'Empire Strikes Back'.) *BT feat. M. Doughty, "Never Gonna Come Back Down" (If "Firestarter" was "Search and Destroy", this is "Life During Wartime". Or some other stupid analogy. Whatever. It just rocks out, OK? Can I just say that instead?)
That's that. Feel free to flame me for my decisions. Or, if you're not compelled to, then flame me for the fact I like Radiohead more than teenypop.

Being a music snob seems to not be about what records you own, but your attitude. I have a lot of records that have been mentioned, but will only listen to most of them by myself (can't even get through all of Tago Mago--tell that guy to quit screaming). I try to play stuff for other people that I think they might like, whether they've heard of it or not.Having obscure or eclectic music tastes does not make one a snob. For me, I just want to hear good music and sounds I haven't heard before.
If you don't like something just because it's popular, you're a snob. If you like something just because it's not popular, you're a snob.Still, a snob can own a Missy Eliot record and still be a snob because of their rationale for liking it.

adam beales (fuckfuckingfuckedfucker) wrote this on thread Has music ever REALLY made you cry? on board I Love Music on Jun 23, 2006
While girls are biologically designed to cry in response to music, men are not. As a result, the half-men who cry in response to music often are forced to bear a heavy burden of social shame. This is unfortunate. The half-men should embrace their half-man-ness, and not feel so cowed about it.
I am half-man, hear me roar!
Anyway, I often cry at choons, though not so often as once I did. Think it depends at least as much on my own emotional state as the song in question. The first few times I heard that guy who couldn't swim covering Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" it brought me to tears. Now, it's a lovely song and all, but I have to admit that I was feeling awful damn depressed and lonely at the time. Chicken or the egg?
The usual suspects:
"Hallelujah""Fairytale of New York" - the PoguesJ. Pachelbel's "Canon & Gigue in D""Ave Maria"Etc...

you'll be down at the door of the place tomorrow morning waiting for it to open. unless it's closed on sunday. but it probably won't be. not that many stores close on sunday anymore, really. they close early, like at 6:00, but they're open during the day. the only thing that's ever closed all sunday is the library. all day. and, you know, what i've seen a lot of places doing is closing on monday. you'll have wanted to go there sunday night and it was closed and you get there monday morning and it says 'monday: closed.' and! then you read that it was open sunday night. so you have to wait until tuesday. but, i guess it's their right to open and close when they want and i didn't really need to go there that badly.

oh no doubt the best pumpkins album, the only that breathes...bill'ys ambitions strangled his muse (i'll bet you wish that his muse's ambition was to strangle his vocal chords, but that's neither here nor there) I don't know if Gish is any good because I can't listen to it anymore, but I do know that the songs on Mellon Collie with a few exceptions (Muzzle, Bodies, Stumbleine) tend to crumble into dust with the merest touch. SD had the strongest songs out of all the big albums, but after listening to it for 13 years (Pumpkins used to be my favorite band in high school) I can start to see what haters mean when they say they're all slight variations of the same song.
Maybe I just have a thing for its more lo-fi production style, but Iscariot really seems like the roller coaster ride that Siamese only wishes it was. I mean, Frail and Bedazzled is better than every song on SD except Mayonnaise. It has more spirit, better solos, a catcher melody, (I could go on about the album but I'll choose not to)...Contrary to his own and popular belief Billy was at his best just tossing things off. That's the poignant irony of his Pavement kissoff, Cherub Rock. A little more Indie Rock would have saved the man's soul.

The early days of not having to register/using comedy names in the display field makes this really hard, but it might have been this (Greenspun posts don't seem to have a timestamp any more) on "what was the first song you heard all year"?
I know it was something Scottish. We had a Scottish Music Only marathon round my flat. Something about New Years belonging to the Scots, I'm still not entirely sure why, may have had more to do with the Absinthe and the Laphroiagh than the date.So chances are, it was PRML SCRM, Belle and Sebastian or... ::oh the shame:: Travis.― xxxx, Tuesday, December 5, 2000 1:00 AM

Or it might have been about the impossibility of achieving happiness in a hypermediated and hypersexualised environment that shows every sign of worsening.
But mentioning Belle and Sebastian is the most embarrassing thing of all.

I posted once in 2002. I don't like it--there's even a typo. (Omen of the future, and probably one of the reasons I stopped; I hate not being able to fix typos. I've adjusted.) My first post under my own name was a thread about supporting actors in 2005:
In Anticipation of Morgan Freeman Beating Thomas Haden Church
A couple of months later I started posting under a second name (the "merritt ranew" account), and continued using both until early in 2006. I guess you could get away with that then.
