Music Draft - Rolling Stone Greatest 500 Songs Garbage List - Now with unhealthy regional pork-stuffs! (1 Viewer)

Little known emo band from the aughts...not listed this way on Spotify but for the live version, but it was on the CD liner notes

Disintegration (Is The Best Album, Ever) - The Impossibles

An emo song on Fueled By Ramen, which was a hot label back then. Dashboard Confessional, a bunch of others...

And when you're careless I will care for you
If you want me to, I'll breathe your air for you

Lol.

I was apparently having trouble remembering the details, too. I just remember my girlfriend at the time liked to say "Robert Smith" and "Mecha-Streisand," so the episode is sort of burned in my brain. And I happened to like Disintegration, so that came up a few times.

That was when South Park was sort of a cultural phenomenon among the younger, cartoon-watching set. I was a few years older at twenty-four or so, but I was game -- and amused by the whole thing.

Me too. I am a few years older than you but I was hooked when it first came out -- it was like, finally, people who are as big of degenerates as me got to make a show.

But my interest waned over the years. They lost me for good with the "Oprah's minge" episode.

I had one of their comps that I've tried to track down because it had an Impossibles song at the end that was credited to Rory, their lead singer. I can't really find it, but I remember the song in my head. That's neither here nor there, just thought I'd share that.

They'd lost me after those first six episodes or so. I never really watched again. But those were a phenomenon, much like Ren & Stimpy in the nineties was for about six episodes or so, too.

 
Hey, I had the South Park album with all the Issac Hayes songs (Simultaneous is a genuine jam) and where Cartman covered Come Sail Away.  It's just been around a long time and a lot the stuff kind of runs together.

4.21 - Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up  (#474)

Nine minutes of joy punctuated by frantic conga pounding and a sweet horn line.  There's movie/music draft potential here with Bend It Like Beckham but I couldn't locate the clip so you'll have to imagine Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley having a kickabout.

I went in to update the spreadsheet and saw your pick listed.  Was planning to rant and rave about sniping after you posted it, but then realized I'd already taken one in that grouping.  :bag:  

 
4.22 Smells Like Teen Spirit -- Nirvana (#5, bloc 1-25)

Bloc 1 started out strong for me, with 20 "no hesitation" picks, but that has been whittled down to 8, and this is the one segment where I really don't want to be stuck with something that I don't absolutely love. 

I drafted this song in the jukebox draft but I will take it again here because it basically changed the trajectory of my musical tastes. In high school and the first half of college, I was mostly in the "modern music sucks, I prefer the '60s and '70s" camp. Then I heard this song and that all changed. It served as a jumping-off point to other grunge and alternative acts, and began a 15-year streak of keeping up with new music pretty well (which ended when I met my current wife).

I thought the Oprah episode was hilarious!  Of course I'm easily amused, and prolly only slightly above average intelligence.....lol

 
4.23

This rack probably has the most available songs I like a lot, but I've drafted most of them before. The record I'm choosing was - like Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" - like a breath of fresh air first time I heard it. The video I'm linking is that clever one which has dancers from old movie musicals dancing to it.

I remember where I was when I saw the video for the first time.......my buddy and I were like this is different! 

I'm not a HUGE Nirvana guy, but I appreciate them for what they were...I really like the unplugged album..I was always more of a PJ/Soundgarden/ Screaming Trees/Melvins guy......but being a PNW guy in high school, when the grunge scene hit.....lots of good music, and concerts.

They don't really sound anything like each other, so that's interesting. If anything, being a Melvins guy should have predisposed you to Nirvana, as they were a huge influence on (and personal friends with) Kurt and co.

We always joke that ditkaburgers' first concert  was Nirvana because Mrs. E was five months pregnant when we saw them right about when things were blowing up for them in Oct 1991.

Melvins are one of those bands that I'm not really sure why I like them other than I do.....some of their stuff is hard to listen to, but their good stuff is reeeeeally good, imo.  And they don't compromise who they are.....I've been listening to A senile Animal a lot lately.....so good.

Screaming Trees are my fave from those bands.....Buzz Factory thru Last Words I could listen to those albums every day.

And I do really like Nirvana.

I put "hmmmm" on your Pet Shop Boys pick because I thought you were up to something.  Now I know you are.

Probably a tie between the Trees and Soundgarden for me. That range of albums is great but one of my favorites is Invisible Lantern, which is basically a power pop record with fuzzed-out guitars.

I realize I've told this one before but I'm lacking for new material.. 

 
Man, I'm looking at the quartile album cover pictures in my Spotify mix, and all I can think of is "Did everybody spend the aughts on acid?"

I knew it had a resurgence, but wasn't quite aware of how significant it was.

It's like when Spoon crack whistles at the end of "This Delicate Place" and you just want it to be a little less obvious to the observer or listener. Hmm...

eta* That, in reading it again, is a hell of a plug/segue and time to list my link to my playlist. Submitted for your approval.

Yea I dig all the early stuff as well.  It grows on you. 

If I had to pick a fave Trees album though it would be Sweet Oblivion....Barrett Martins drums and the production.....just a great rock album front to back. Makes my desert island list

 
5.05 Help Me -- Joni Mitchell (#464, bloc 451-475)

I am down to 9 "no hesitation" songs in two different blocs, but this one has a weaker selection of songs I would be hesitant to pick, so I'm gonna grab something from it now before it gets too thin for my liking. 

I picked Court and Spark in the album-pairs draft and it is one of my favorite "bliss out to exquisitely produced music" records. This was its biggest hit and shows off Joni's songwriting and arranging chops well.
