God I love that comp

No “Sheena Is a Punk Rocker,” no credibility

― ebro the letter (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:42 (seven years ago)

Chums, we're wasting time chatting when we could be coming up with hilarious fake #1s.

― Audrey Tautoulogy (Leee), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:43 (seven years ago)

I'm sure KM has something ready

― Jeff W, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:44 (seven years ago)

There's two songs left that I absolutely can't imagine missing out, is the thing! I think the fake placement has already happened. Maybe it was the Smiths

― imago, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:44 (seven years ago)

Sheena too long, iirc

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:44 (seven years ago)

Sheena is almost 3 minutes long

― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:45 (seven years ago)

i guess 'my year in lists' isn't showing up :(

― devvvine, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:45 (seven years ago)

Can’t believe Cretin Hop didn’t make it.

― Chris L, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:46 (seven years ago)

I regret not voting for "My Little Rooster."

― billstevejim, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:46 (seven years ago)

Oops, I think I meant Judy Is a Punk, so, yes credibility

― ebro the letter (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:48 (seven years ago)

xpost 1:05 with a 20 second intro!

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:49 (seven years ago)

never heard young marble giants and after one listen I don't know why its up here. it doesn't go anywhere? sounds like an intro and I'm left waiting for something to happen. is that the point?

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:49 (seven years ago)

Cooooooome on Baby Shark!

― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:49 (seven years ago)

My no.1!

― lefal junglist platton (wtev), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:50 (seven years ago)

idrg the ymg song either but hey, i don't write the rules

― imago, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:50 (seven years ago)

Not my fave YMG, but yeah, it's short.

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:51 (seven years ago)

no i don't think so, but i think we're missing the point

― lefal junglist platton (wtev), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:51 (seven years ago)

i had never heard that YMG song before today!
it's slight but charming? doesn't deliver the <2 min power slap i was hoping for in a #2

― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:52 (seven years ago)

and i don't know what the point is

― lefal junglist platton (wtev), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:52 (seven years ago)

imo it's fully formed and there isn't a wasted note, verse, chorus, tiny solo, verse, chorus, stop

"Another Green World" on the other hand...

― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:52 (seven years ago)

ymg rule

― nxd, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:52 (seven years ago)

best band I've ever seen live

― nxd, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:53 (seven years ago)

jealous, I got to see Stuart Moxham once though at least

― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:53 (seven years ago)

he did "Brand-New-Love" and I just about died

YMG songs are subtle growers in many cases

― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:54 (seven years ago)

Anyway, KM, did we give you enough of a......moment?

― imago, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:54 (seven years ago)

Ooh, awake just in time for #1. I voted for Big Star, Vashti, Smiths and YMG. Seems unlikely, but hope first place is even more brittle and fey!!! LOL

― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:57 (seven years ago)

Fuck all y'alls who don't rate 'Final Day'. We're all going to die.

― emil.y, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:58 (seven years ago)

and when we do, there will be peace outside in the narrow light

― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Friday, 12 April 2019 21:59 (seven years ago)

It's a truly beautiful and apt ode to the nuclear bomb.

(Btw half my music listening these days is about nuclear apocalypse)

― emil.y, Friday, 12 April 2019 21:59 (seven years ago)

i had never heard it (and i didn't vote) but i am glad this poll is enlightening me to short songs i don't know! there are a lot of them.

what will #1 be?!?!?!?!?!?

xpost sums up a generation

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 April 2019 22:05 (seven years ago)

We did it, E.R. fans!!

― jmm, Friday, 12 April 2019 22:06 (seven years ago)

I was one of the #1 votes

― skronktopia (FlopsyDuck), Friday, 12 April 2019 22:06 (seven years ago)

"Outdoor Miner" is probably #1?

― lefal junglist platton (wtev), Friday, 12 April 2019 22:07 (seven years ago)

yaya!

― kraudive, Friday, 12 April 2019 22:07 (seven years ago)

I still call shenanigans lower down

― imago, Friday, 12 April 2019 22:08 (seven years ago)

did they have any songs less than 2 minutes?

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 April 2019 22:09 (seven years ago)

oh shit, i made a big mistake

― imago, Friday, 12 April 2019 22:10 (seven years ago)

Congratulations to McNulty, Freamon, and the rest of the Wire crew.

― Audrey Tautoulogy (Leee), Friday, 12 April 2019 22:10 (seven years ago)

I mean this is a brilliant song really and a worthy winner (even if I prefer it with a dinky piano solo) but...um...uh...where's...Hybrid....Moments?
