kinda weak segment, tbh. these tower over the rest:
Radiohead - I Might Be WrongPavement - Shady LaneBjörk - Hyper-Ballad (Family Tree Version)Modest Mouse - Missed the Boat Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day

sleater-kinney belongs up there too
Bjork

This is my favourite stretch so far: Velouria vs Sheela na Gig just over Hyperballad and Dirty Boots.

oh shit, glazed over The Concept, that'll get my vote

Velouria
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 14:06 (four years ago) link
That's probably going to get my vote as well.

Casimir Pulaski Day is the most powerful of these. i actually can't even listen to it.
― Trϵϵship, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 14:15 (four years ago) link
the concept is a great song as well.
i'm wishing i voted for hyperballad now.

Brill Bruisers is such a weird choice of New Pornographers song.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Tuesday, 11 June 2019 14:39 (four years ago) link
"When My Boy Walks Down the Street" seems like a really weird choice too. Anyways I voted "Video Games" come at me.

Xp there are gonna be a lot more NP songs as the list goes on
― Jeff the grown man (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 11 June 2019 14:43 (four years ago) link
i almost voted for Lana, that's probably the one that placed highest for me in its particular year. But I ended up going with S-K, that's one of their absolute best tunes.

The Concept
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 15:59 (four years ago) link
Semi-spoiler---the song most NP fans would assume to be the highest ranking didn't make the list.
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 16:45 (four years ago) link
"Rent I Pay" with "Ready for the Floor" being a very close second. Man have I soured on Teenage Fanclub, as saw them live about a year back and it was one of the worst shows I have ever seen.

The Bleeding Heart show isn’t on there?
― Trϵϵship, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 16:54 (four years ago) link
it's not. also, no pre-Twin Cinema tracks? fuckin weird.
― Jeff the grown man (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 11 June 2019 17:33 (four years ago) link
"casimir pulaski day" for me
how has "i will possess your heart" not been eternally condemned as the sexist shite that it is by now

PJ Harvey - Sheela-Na-Gig

I really really like Girls' Lust for Life
― Dan S, Saturday, 15 June 2019 00:08 (four years ago) link
also wondering why Hyper-Ballad isn't several hundred places higher

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

All the great Belle and Sebastian songs out there and they went with “I Want the World to Stop”??
― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 17 June 2019 08:26 (four years ago) link
I hate lists like these. I have very polarizing reactions to indie music. When a few good songs are placed next to 10 Beach House, 15 Arcade Fire and 12 Tame Impala songs (for example) I have to burn the list.

and the YLT song they pick is the intentionally warmed-over cure cover

It's hilarious that Pitchfork pretends to be woke, yet still unconditionally praises the band that wrote 'Cause I'm a Man'.― Frederik B, Tuesday, June 11, 2019 6:16 AM (six days ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

I don’t much care for it but isn’t this song written in character?
This selection is real depressing. “Oh!” is great fun though.
― JoeStork, Monday, 17 June 2019 21:35 (four years ago) link
I love Sebadoh, but lmao at the thought of 'Ocean' being a better song than Lana's 'Video Games'. There's an ocean between the two.

it's not actually misogynistic, it's just in the persona of a misogynist, meant as commentary is a poor excuse that is seldom trotted out for anyone other than (white) rock artists
― dyl, Monday, 17 June 2019 23:02 (four years ago) link
(black) rap artists use this "excuse" way more.
Never heard the Tame Impala song, but the lyrics seem more like self- loathing than amy hatred of women.
― nicky lo-fi, Monday, 17 June 2019 23:47 (four years ago) link
yeah agree
― Dan S, Monday, 17 June 2019 23:48 (four years ago) link
about the Tame Impala song

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
― System, Tuesday, 18 June 2019 00:01 (four years ago) link
Just for the record, I'm not woke, and no artist owes me any excuse for the content of their art.
When I become quick to judge and label people I don't know at all,I hope I have the courage to blow my brains out.
― nicky lo-fi, Tuesday, 18 June 2019 00:02 (four years ago) link
i'll go ahead and do that, thanks
― dyl, Tuesday, 18 June 2019 01:34 (four years ago) link
