Lots of songs by bands I like that aren't necessarily songs I like - Gold Soundz isn't even that great a song.

Don't want to derail thread, but I love Dylan because I privilege singing and personae. Lyrics are a happy third.

I love Dylan because he wasn't afraid to move to London to be with the girl he loved even tho he had it made in B Hills

I always have hated Neutral Milk Hotel. Now I'll explain why
1) It's nothing but campfire music with timely, orchestrated buildup shoveled on top2) The Vocals remind me of an indie version of Blink 182's vocals.3) It really comes down to #2 most of all. The singer makes me vomit diarrhea
NMH sound is grating for me and not boring like some people mentioned upthread.
----------
Now I'm listening to 'Commom People'. This has an equivalently annoying sound.
I listen to a lot of lo-fi and experimental junk so I know the difference of harsh music that sounds pleasing and music that is just an annoyance.
Again, my opinion is just my opinion on what sounds aesthetically pleasing and what does not. So no offense if I shit vomit to a band you truly like.

xp both at the same time as I listen to holland 1945. but if I hit pause it abrubtly stops until I hit play again

Would easily have voted for MBV if the choice was "Soon." I'm also not British so "Common People" means nothing more to me than just a good song. I also lived in Silver Lake during the 90s, so I'm fine with all the "Loser" hatred.
Voted Mazzy because I like the song, however I would have voted "Cannonball" over all of these.
― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 3 September 2010 20:35 (thirteen years ago) link
actually that's a pretty good analogy
― having taken an actual journalism class (contenderizer), Friday, 3 September 2010 20:40 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm working class and I understand the deep hurt caused to others by Common People. I feel the same way about The Chauffeur by Duran Duran, Smooth Operator by Sade, Country House by Blur, How To Be A Millionaire by ABC, I've Never Been To Me be Charlene and many other songs that rub the restrictions of my damn class in my face! I could only dream of visiting Niece, and the Isles of Greece and sipping champagne on a yacht! When will these people think of the emotional turmoil they're wreaking on the listeners! But at least I had the class solidarity of my brothers in arms Wham! on such socialist sons of toil classics as Everything She Wants and Young Guns! I can only dream of what it must be like to be on the other side of the fence... to not be invited to be part of Jarvis Cocker's gang of misfits... whom I imagine to be slightly like the cast of the Breakfast Club but with odd teeth and jackets from Oxfam.
Loser is such a shit song.

Aaliyah - "Are You That Somebody?" classic song obv but definitely not her best single of the 90sAphex Twin - "Windowlicker" cool song but i guess i dont 'get' how important it was so it being in the top 20 is kinda confusingBeck - "Loser" annoyingBelle and Sebastian - "The State I Am In" never heardBjörk - "Hyperballad" love bjork, but NO she has soooooooooo many better singles from he 90sDaft Punk - "Da Funk" classiqueDepeche Mode - "Enjoy the Silence" yesssssssssDJ Shadow - "Midnight in a Perfect World" eh i guessDr. Dre [ft. Snoop Doggy Dogg] - "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang" played out but obv classicMazzy Star - "Fade Into You" i think i heard this onceMy Bloody Valentine - "Only Shallow" - fucks with thisNeutral Milk Hotel - "Holland, 1945" i like this song but noNirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit" obvThe Notorious B.I.G. - "Juicy" never gets old, still he has much better singles from 90s but i guess this is his most seminal...OutKast - "Spottieottedopalicious" - rosa parks, elevators, playas ball, art of storytelin etc. >>>Pavement - "Gold Soundz" - never heard thisPulp - "Common People" - never heard this, i am not a britishes so don't care about ur boring ass class conflicts or boring indie bandsRadiohead - "Paranoid Android" - yepWeezer - "Say It Ain't So" - um, "buddy holly" pwnz this songWu-Tang Clan - "Protect Ya Neck" - not a top 20 single or even the best wu single from that album but i guess
