Pitchfork: The Top 200 Tracks of the 1990s: 20-01

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

i think the thread has been officially and thoroughly derailed already.

i love dylan because he's funny as fuck. when he's good.

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

didnt know bob dylan wrote that for cut copy

he also wrote the lyrics for "Windowlicker."

I love Dylan because I privilege singing

O_O

Dylan is one of the most insufferable singers of all time.

OF ALL TIME

Where the big bands of the mid-90s were filling theaters and copping the arena-rock moves that had ossified somewhere back in the 70s,

-_-

Surely he's not talking about ironic boas!

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 top
2) 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.

"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."

do tell!

fair enough. don't know what 'campfire music' means though.

"holland 1945" is a beautiful song & fuck anyone who disagrees

so wait, are you shitting vomit or vomiting shit

he knows the difference of shitting vomit that sounds pleasing and vomiting shit that is just an annoyance

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

vomiting shit sounds way more like a serious medical condition rather than just an annoyance

in the aeroplane over the sea is such a horrible album

and it gets unbelievably high ratings. I seriously think it is the most overrated indie album of all 90s

or the most appropriately rated

never heard it, does it sound more like shit being vomited or vomit being shat?

as with every list ever, why that MBV song? why that kast song? why that pavement song? why that radiohead song?

xp NMH haters - http://i27.tinypic.com/33mreph.gif

it sounds like david the gnome shitting into the mouthpiece of a french horn and vomiting onto an acoustic guitar

haha

if a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is a gif worth

a thousand posts

Pavement :: Pitchfork as Sgt. Pepper :: Rolling Stone

hands up if you're surprised by any of this...

hands up if you're tired of shitty analogies

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.

actually that's a pretty good analogy

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.

Doran: go fuck yourself, you unpleasant dickwad.

jesus christ this thread cannot die fast enough

wow!!

Aaliyah - "Are You That Somebody?" classic song obv but definitely not her best single of the 90s
Aphex Twin - "Windowlicker" cool song but i guess i dont 'get' how important it was so it being in the top 20 is kinda confusing
Beck - "Loser" annoying
Belle and Sebastian - "The State I Am In" never heard
Björk - "Hyperballad" love bjork, but NO she has soooooooooo many better singles from he 90s
Daft Punk - "Da Funk" classique
Depeche Mode - "Enjoy the Silence" yesssssssss
DJ Shadow - "Midnight in a Perfect World" eh i guess
Dr. Dre [ft. Snoop Doggy Dogg] - "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang" played out but obv classic
Mazzy Star - "Fade Into You" i think i heard this once
My Bloody Valentine - "Only Shallow" - fucks with this
Neutral Milk Hotel - "Holland, 1945" i like this song but no
Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit" obv
The 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 this
Pulp - "Common People" - never heard this, i am not a britishes so don't care about ur boring ass class conflicts or boring indie bands
Radiohead - "Paranoid Android" - yep
Weezer - "Say It Ain't So" - um, "buddy holly" pwnz this song
Wu-Tang Clan - "Protect Ya Neck" - not a top 20 single or even the best wu single from that album but i guess

voted for depeche mode

which is weird because if i made a top 100 of the 90s list that probbaly wouldn't crack it all even tho its an amazing song

i would have voted for juicy but that feels to obvious

The crudeness might be regretable but seriously. His reading comprehension is so low and his level of projection of things that were never actually said was so high that I just wanted to make sure my response was absolutely unequivocaly clear.

ummm, no problem in that regard, KDT

but you may have mistaken light whimsy for a declaration of war...

how long until kate is banned again

hopefully not too long

i am always so amazed i am not banned
