Village Voice's F2K

weezer always sucked; gummy bear is... just a bit lame

Yeah, this is more like watching a sad kitten being smothered on YouTube.

23!

i have honestly never even heard OF half this list - enjoying the writing obv, enjoying not hearing the songs, hope some songs i've enjoyed hating this decade crop up at some point

it's mostly been a bit too obvious thus far.

boo, i love this song. crazy frog has done far worse.

this is the new hub, guys

i just stopped listening to it and i've already forgotten it. how you ever could remember it existed to make the list is astonishing. fuck the idea this is too obvious, too obvious would have been axel f.

I suppose this means the Kidz Bop version of Crazy Frog's "Axel F" didn't make the list (ignore the video, or don't since it's a pretty accurate representation of the level of crazypants behind this cover).

20!

It's just like GZA did with the names of record labels on Liquid Swords, except some of the record labels that GZA mentions actually put out good music once in a while.

Haha I am now trying to remember if I made this link at the time under my own steam or just stole it from someone else

This list needs more country music. Like this:

Last Christmas is "recently minted" but U Can't Touch This is an old classic?

More country? Don't forget this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqYUns2YQik

btw the way most average country singers manipulate their voices for maximum emotional affect... most pop/r&b singers sound like The Edge singing "Numb" in comparison. Check the word "are" in the phrase "tall as you are" in the chorus.

Holy fuck that song is HILARIOUS!!!!

If there's any country it had better be this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpoudLoc8sY

x post - thanks long story but i heard it hundreds of times over a short span of time involuntarily and it will never leave my memory

watching that video of "have you forgotten" has made me feel really, really bad. this is the first time i have ever been consumed with laughter while watching people die. i couldn't help it. popular country... man... NOT cool.

Last Christmas is "recently minted" but U Can't Touch This is an old classic?

Recently minted as a radio staple, thanks to the Christmas format taking over the last two months of the year in much of the country because radio execs are completely uncreative / desperate / etc.

19!

Meh. Slamming Nickelback is old hat.

Who are you again?

Just another no-name ilxor. I expect better from my professional rock critics.

sounds like the song of a sex offender

When does the Top 50 Shittiest TV Jingles run? "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" is ripe for just this kind of ship-righting beat-down.

Chris really hit the nail on the head in that we're definitely trying to do hard-hitting rock crit here.

I don't know what you're trying to do, or what audience you think you're satisfying.

yeah maybe he should get a blog?

oh shit is he gonna rep for wu-tang again

someone has to

I don't know what you're trying to do, or what audience you think you're satisfying.

don't want to answer this for Whiney, just want to say i really love these reviews and think they are hilarious, Whiney. Keep up the good work.

18!

"I don't know what you're trying to do, or what audience you think you're satisfying."

oh-bee-en-oh-ex-i-oh-you-ess

i look forward to these fwiw.

Go, parrots, go.

eff-you-see-kay

the fuck dude whaddya want? i'm in front of a computer all day and jeez it's like some funny shit to listen to and hear whiney rip on....not saying it's fuckin rockist science or anything but why get yr panties in a bunch about it? are you that humorless?

come on sheeple

"I write under the assumption that my peers in the music world are smart enough to know that what they do is at best a good time shared by all, one that should be enjoyed while it lasts and taken as seriously as a pie-eating contest on a cloudy day. I don't care if you're Slowdive or Sigue Sigue Sputnik: you will regret every minute you didn't spend laughing. Lighten up."

I love when these threads rope in the OTT, pure entertainment each and every time.

Yes grandavis, the laughter goes both ways. F2K seems to rep for people who think "Dick in a Box" was the song of the decade.

your mom is a dick in a box
