Hopefully my top 6 will show a different side of Kid Rock. This song has a lot of meaning to me as I went through a divorce in 2001 with 2 young daughters. I then had to make a tough decision to move 4 hours away from them (I will get into that later) and didn't get to see them near as often during the school year. They also had plenty of questions for dad. Hindsight is always 20/20 and I have been very happily married now for 18 years to my 2nd wife and my daughters have turned into amazing young women, but it still tugs a little bit when this song plays.
 
Talking Heads
#6 The Big Country
This is a wrap on More Songs About Buildings and Food (i.e., 5th of 5). The song is basically a big F U to "flyover country", and, as a city kid, I'm ok with that.
“The Big Country” is as lucid (and twangy) as Byrne gets: “I wouldn’t live there if you paid me,” he pronounces outright in the surprisingly laidback chorus. He borrowed the phrase “the big country” from Roxy Music’s Country Life closer “Prairie Rose,” where it refers to Texas, but as far as Byrne’s concerned, it’s any place you’d fly over without feeling much curiosity. It’s a barbed judgement he sings with relative peace, like someone relieved they live amid the move and hustle of New York City instead of, y’know, America.

Then we come to the farmlands
And the undeveloped areas
And I have learned
How these things work together
I see the parkway
That passes through them all
And I have learned
How to look at these things and I say

I wouldn't live there if you paid me
I wouldn't live like that, no siree

6. That's Entertainment
Album: Sound Affects (1980)
Released as a single? Yes (UK #21 as an import)

This song is one of The Jam's most revered. Not only was it beloved by their fanbase, who put it on the British charts despite it not being released as a single domestically, but it has resonated with rock's historians. BBC Radio 2 named it the 43rd greatest song of all time in 2004. That same year, Rolling Stone ranked it #306 on its list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. And The Guardian ranked it #1 on their list of Paul Weller's best songs. They said:

It’s a very close-run thing – indeed there are Weller songs that didn’t make this list that people might easily claim as their favourite, with Strange Town, The Changingman and Speak Like a Child among them – but That’s Entertainment nudges in front. Apparently written in 10 minutes, while drunk, it’s a cynical depiction of the limitations of working-class life that also captures a universal sense of longing and restriction – is that all there is? – in a series of blunt, but memorable, images. “Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday”, “A hot summer’s day and sticky black Tarmac”, “Watching the telly and thinking about your holidays”. To put it in equally blunt terms: what a f#cking great song.
Click to expand...

In other words, it's kind of the urban British equivalent of Pink Houses.

One of the rare Jam songs featuring acoustic guitar, with electric guitar only appearing in the last verse, played backwards, That's Entertainment puts its melody and lyrics at the forefront, and both are incredible. The song resonated immediately upon the release of Sound Affects, and after the fanbase made Start! the band's second consecutive UK #1, they tracked down every copy they could find of an import single of this song, pushing it to UK #21. (The song received a proper UK single release twice after the band's demise but did not crack the UK top 40 either time.) It was the highest-charting import single in UK chart history up to that point, a record that The Jam broke themselves 2 years later when an import single of Just Who Is That 5 O'Clock Hero? hit #8.

Brits of a certain generation know all of these words by heart:

A police car and a screaming siren
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
A baby wailing and stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

A smash of glass and the rumble of boots
An electric train and a ripped up phone booth
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
Lights going out and a kick in the balls

I tell ya that's entertainment, that's entertainment

Days of speed and slow time Mondays
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday
Watching the news and not eating your tea
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls

I say that's entertainment, that's entertainment

Waking up at six AM on a cool warm morning
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard
Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume
A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude
Getting a cab and travelling on buses
Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs

I tell ya that's entertainment, that's entertainment

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Weller continues to perform the song live, and it was one of just three Jam tunes he played when I saw him in 2008 in NYC. It was the first song of the encore. The crowd, which was at least 50% British expats, went bonkers and sang along to every word.

Demo from the sessions for Sound Affects (1980); appears on the deluxe version of that album and the Direction Reaction Creation box set
Writers: John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Original or best known version: The Beatles

The Jam's take on the psychedelic Beatles classic (#5 on my list in Zegras11's Beatles countdown) offers both adventurous noise and driving rock beats, much like many of the originals that ended up on Sound Affects, the sessions for which generated this cover. Weller's vocal seems a little "off" or restrained at times, but this song is supposed to sound off-kilter so it's not a flaw.

At #5, my highest ranking non-single. Of the top 5, four songs are absolutely blistering post-punk and the fifth song is very different from that.
 
Saw a young girl at the supermarket the other day with a navy blue shirt on that caught my eye for some reason—I think there was a catchy, familiar slogan on the back. I sort of kept looking and on the front or the sleeve (I wasn't staring) it said "Tears for Fears," which normally wouldn't be notable but she was (1) pretty young and (2) the "For" wasn't capitalized, which I'd never noticed before. I looked a little longer, and sure it enough, it was referencing the band.

Anyway, "Sowing" is a memorable track.

I always tried to get further into The Jam through this song, and I guess the write-up lets me know why I was having so much trouble. Acoustic and experimental. If it were 1980, I would be the guy hollering out "No new stuff!"

But then I'd get pissed on, so there would be my comeuppance.

"Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" was also an unsettlingly and stridently sociopolitical track, but an interesting one to listen to. Nice bass.

My alter ego is Dinah Shore

(Dead Kennedys reference very few will get)

"Whose alter ego is Dinah Shore? Ah, notice the fists didn't go up so quickly this time!" - Jello Biafra in a live performance off of Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death

But yeah, probably wouldn't be as big a fan of the stuff that came post-'78 given what I've heard. I think otb might, actually. I'm just not sure which songs or why he'd prefer them. Also, said alter ego is surprisingly beyond the whole punk/post-punk thing as a necessity for listening anymore. I've talked to him. He's just a weird guy.
 
#6 Sonoran Hope and Madness (off Sonoran Hope and Madness, 20)

Let her burn you!
Let her bleach you!
Let her lead you so very far away no one can reach you!
Spread out wild and wander
And may everything you poison come back stronger...

(Youtube Version) Sonoran Hope and Madness
(Live Version) Sonoran Hope and Madness - Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers

As hinted at the end of my previous write-up, this song is sort of a love letter to the Sonoran Desert. And, by extension, Mother Nature herself. Yes, the desert has volcanoes in the Pinacate region located at the border of Mexico and Arizona. Though it’s been roughly 20 million years since any were active.

Why I chose this:
This one’s relatively short, but fast-paced and up-tempo. It’s a song with a bit of a mariachi vibe. Which is only appropriate, as Clyne studied mariachi music while at Arizona State University, as part of a Spanish immersion class. It’s a very lively song, if one that slows down at parts like a cool breeze on a warm day.

At #5, we return to a song by The Refreshments. It’s the type of song that you can’t really put a name to.

Click to expand...

Are you sure that's his intent or am I giving him too much credit for not being so obtuse that he would pen that without self-reflection of any sort? The rest of the lyrics aren't adding up to that sort of animosity in the declaration. There are textual clues there that he's not saying that at all and that our Pitchfork interpreter is failing miserably at the perceived traditional city/country animosity dichotomy here.

Then again, he could just be being sort of an *******. It's entirely possible. I somehow doubt it, but not knowing enough about Byrne, I can't say for certain.

Why can't it be both? :D

I found this blurb from allmusic.com:
I wrote "The Big Country" about hating that kind of stuff. I thought I had to be fair. I hoped that the description would sound almost clinical. Benign and sympathetic, but still kind of clinical. And then all of a sudden to have this extreme emotion attached to it I thought was kind of a shock, because there was nothing leading up to it; there was no reason given for it at all."
Click to expand...

So I think back in 1978, Byrne did indeed feel that way. However, I think by 1985 (when David Gans book Talking Heads, The Band and Their Music was written/released) he'd reconsidered
So Byrne seems indeed to be the narrator, though one who has gone through a process of self-discovery; he writes about his past ignorance -- disdain and hard feelings that he now (having written the song) realizes are unattractive and destructive.

I'll quote your post to give some thoughts. Yea, this is probably Crosby's best song. Like Pip mentioned, it's in a weird tuning, and the lyrics could mean a ton of things, but according to Crosby it's about three women he loved: Joni Mitchell, Christine Hinton (who ws killed in a car accident), and one he doesn't mention. I like the twin lead vocals by Crosby and Nash. I've said this a few times, but all four of these guys could really write and sing. Truly a supergroup.

Nothing to Show For is possibly the first top 10 song from Rateliff that casual fans won't be familiar with. I don't have a lot to say about it other than I find it awesome. If you've not heard it before I recommend using the Spotify link - the YT link is a rooftop acoustic version that I personally really like but not sure it does the song justice that the studio version does.

File under things that torque my jaw: While continuing to peruse Neko Case's catalog, I discovered a great big whiff on my top-31 list; a song that likely would have cracked my top-5. I'll name the tune after the #1s are revealed.

For the fans who think the best Neko is to be found when she sheds the restrictor plates from her vocal cords, track 6 is for you. From her first album, The Virginian, released in 1997.

Pointer Sisters #5 - Fire

By Bruce Springsteen, obviously.
Click to expand...
The Pointer Sisters played at a place called the Attic in Greenville, NC in 1981. That is where I went to college, and I spent many nights at the Attic during my time in Greenville. I didn't get to see them, though, because I didn't get there until 1984. It would have been awesome to have see them, especially at that venue, and they played on my birthday! Anyway, this is a great video of them performing "Fire" there in 1981.

Yet another awesome song by these guys. It’s got some peacockin’, it’s got incredible name Rockin’, IT’S GOT THE FLUTE!
 
5. And on Bass

This one hurts, because in hindsight this is where the Seldom Scene jumped the shark.

This is the first song from their 20th Anniversary Concert album (1992).

We now fast forward 11 years and a couple of lineup changes. Exit Tom Gray and Phil Rosenthal, enter Lou Reid and T. Michael Coleman. The reasons for the departure of Gray and Rosenthal were never specified but were amicable, and while the new additions were fine, the previous lineup changes were more subtle.


Spotlight #7: Lou Reid.

Born Louis Reid Pyrtle in western North Carolina, he was the first bona fide mountain-ish born hillbilly to join the band. On his own, he built an impressive resume, starting at age 24 and working for a time with Ricky Skaggs until joining the 'Scene in '86 when Rosenthal left. He definitely brought a different vibe, though still remained within the band's aesthetic. He left in '93 to tour with Ricky Skaggs but returned in '96. As the 'Scene still retained their part-time status, Lou was able to continue with other projects while still retaining his place with the band; as of this current era, he has been a member of the band longer than most of the founding members.

Spotlight #8: T. Michael Coleman

Another North Carolina native, Coleman worked with and was playing for Doc Watson's band when he joined the 'Scene in '86 as Tom Gray's replacement. Coleman's instrument of choice was the electric bass, which may have upset the purists, but ultimately it fit in nicely and was a great foil for Duffey on stage. In his early days with the band, he composed this little ditty as his way of introducing himself and breaking the ice with the audience. I had been an aspiring bass player for a short time, so this tune appealed to me, and I tend to like songs that at least try to be funny.

Fun fact for ya: Coleman is the father of actress Kelen Coleman; if her name doesn't sound familiar, fans of the US version of The Office will know her as Pam's cousin Isabel from the Niagra Falls story arc.
 
Selected favorites from the #6s. Running behind, so no shuffle this time around. It’ll return for #5 (through #2), for those that enjoy the shuffle adventures. Meanwhile, it was definitely another packed round. So many awesome songs that I knew and loved. Very hard to narrow it down, but I managed! I’m going six deep again, as will probably be the norm from here on out.

–
Familiar songs:
Delirious - Prince
Son of a Son of a Sailor - Jimmy Buffett
Dig, Lazarus, Dig - Nick Cave
Say Hello 2 Heaven - Temple of the Dog/Chris Cornell
Go With The Flow - QotSA/Josh Homme - It was even better to hear these two songs back to back!
Dream Police - Cheap Trick

New discoveries:
Aint Got No - I Got Life - Nina Simone
Oil and Water - Incubus
Back to Oz - Sufjan Stevens
Paradise - John Prine
Mess - Ben Folds
I’m In the Mood - John Lee Hooker
