Pavement was really the only band that could've topped the list--Nirvana's too obvious, My Bloody Valentine's too rote, Pulp's too British, Weezer too awful, and everything else too not rock.

They just picked the wrong song, is all.

Also, where Gold Soundz *really* fails as a number 1 choice, is when you hold it up to B.O.B. and God Only Knows--p4k's picks as the best songs of the 00's and 60's, respectively.

otm.

I would have also really liked to see a Ben Folds Five song make the list. I know it was like 15 years ago, but I'm pretty sure p4k gave the s/t a 9.6 when it first came out (because it was good, and still is). I know Ben Folds has travelled a similar path as Rivers Cuomo into truly embarrassing territories, but "Boxing" would've been a good pick for the 200-150 range.

that's a great point, the first two ben folds records walk a ton of shit that made the list

Yeah, "1979" is definitely the Pumpkins song that non-Pumpkins fans like. I owned Siamese Dream like most white Midwestern 14-year-olds at the time, but I'd probably go with "1979," too, for the same reason I'd go with "Lost in the Supermarket" over anything else on London Calling.

I'm actually curious about this one. 'Lost in the supermarket' is also my favorite Clash song but I didn't quite understood the comparison in here.

Dinosaur Jr "Start Choppin'" over "Freak Scene"

"Freak Scene" was '88.

what is the deal with the swedish fish

what is the deal with the polish dish

what is the deal with police on my back by the clash

seriously though this fish thing they're doin

seriously though what are you even talking about

the swedish fish kkvgz don't act like you don't know

kiddin but click through any review today, like the philip jeck one:

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14724-an-ark-for-the-listener/

now look up to the right & at the masthead what do u see

http://ds.serving-sys.com/BurstingRes///Site-501/Type-0/6b0590f4-c5d8-4adf-b511-9468d3ea1078.gif

and to the right another little swedish fish fella all cute and gummy

the swedish fish have also been in magazines and stuff too

its the kind of viral campaign that makes you think there's more to it, but there actually isn't

oh ok

it's just an ad for swedish fish

I like that it doesn't link to anything though - it's a very old-fashioned ad, just an image

underrated aerosmith, you have been paid by fishpork to get us to refresh the philip jeck review 100 times in hopes of seeing candy

Maybe its something to do with this? http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/09/biebers_backstage_demands_swed.html

These aren't appearing for me... must be a US only thing? No Bigfoots either.

why does the roc marciano album get a 8.1 but not a bnm?

That swedish fish is just a red herring imo.

i don't see any fish

well the image I posted is an "open image in new tab" from the pitchfork site - there's three parts of one fish that are just stored images, not live links, and they occur on pages on the site today - I read two reviews & a news story and saw fish twice

hipsters luv candy

it's one thing that makes hipsters unique, everybody else is like "fuck candy"

NickB killin it

it's hard when someone's talking about animals you don't see and all you can do is tilt your head and curse the horrors of DTs
(no fish here)

starting a band called fuck candy right now

Fuck Chocolate Buttons

"Hear the New Bright Eyes Album Now"

no thanks

good point

Watch: Dismemberment Plan Cover Das Racist

Back in the day, beloved DC post-punks the Dismemberment Plan traditionally closed many of their shows with drawn-out versions of their first album nugget "OK Joke's Over". Frontman Travis Morrison would use the song's thrashed-out ending to riff on whatever pop or rap song happened to be running through his head at that moment. (My favorite memory of the song involved a Baltimore show where opening act Cex ran out, tackled Morrison, grabbed the mic, and sang a pretty sizable chunk of Pearl Jam's "Animal".) D-Plan, currently in the midst of their reunion tour, are continuing the "OK Joke's Over" tradition.

As Eardrum NYC reports, during "OK Joke's Over" on Friday night in Boston, Morrison seized the occasion to perform a piece of Das Racist's deathless annoyance anthem "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell". Or that's how it started out, anyway. By the end, Morrison was dementedly screaming "Chick-fil-A! Chick-fil-A!" over and over. Watch the video below, via the D-Plan's Facebook.

gahhhh why would anyone want to hear this shit

"deathless annoyance anthem"

As Eardrum NYC reports

ugh that's even worse than the Dismemberment Plan show i saw last week where he sang "Like A G6"

"Whip My Hair" was the winner at Friday's Webster Hall show. Though if you're offended by him putting a bit of some hit/meme at the end of that song then you shouldn't stay to the end of a D-Plan show.

that's all not nearly as bad as the Dismemberment Plan show I saw where they played Dismemberment Plan songs

0.0

well the lyric quotes in "OK, Joke's Over" in 2000-2003 were sometimes pretty dorky but usually not quite as dorky as Far East Movement or Das Racist

oh woop de shit

would have you preferred some cee-lo or something?

that's all not nearly as bad as the Dismemberment Plan show I saw where they played Dismemberment Plan songs

hahahah whiney g for the fucking WIN
