I feel awful saying this but seriously, that Interpol song is so tiny and mournful, lost in the wind.

forgot this thread! at some point i should also have mentioned Malibu by Hole. i guess Corgan is partially the reason why that stands apart, but then i'm pretty indifferent to most of the Pumpkins stuff too, so there it still is.

lol @ "moonchild" by m83. that song has probably the most unintentionally hilarious monologue i've ever heard.

I'll take Foreigner - "I Want to Know What Love Is," and admit a little fondness for "Feels Like the First Time"
Pet Shop Boys - "What Have I Done to Deserve This" (of course, they brought in a ringer I am incapable of hating)

4'39'' by John Cage. Though I have never listened to it (kind of difficult to hear it) and I probably got the title wrong. But that's probably the best he has ever done. Silence is sexy sometimes.― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Sunday, November 3, 2002 6:32 PM (7 years ago) Bookmark

i don't really really hate him the way i might've when i was younger but i have listened to "dont ask me why" by billy joel like 18 times since that 80s joel poll. in terms of hugest gulf between how i feel about one song by an act vs every other song by that act winner is definitely "boys of summer" by don henley.

wasn't "malibu" pretty much straight courtney (i remember her mentioning it in an interview w/ stevie nicks like a year or so beforehand)? i thought corgan's fingerprints were all over "celebrity skin"?

My days of hating artists are behind me. It would be fairer to say that I don't much care for Ariana Grande but that I think 'No Tears Left to Cry' is an excellent song.
Likewise, I've never really connected with Michael Jackson's music but 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' is genius.
