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

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

My thinking.  The list is light on that kind of hair adjacent glam rock/pop.  Photograph is as good as that's ever been done.

 

[Eephus]

Photograph -- Def Leppard

[Northern Voice]

Friday Night Bonus Categories.

1. Pick a song that's not in the RS 500 by an artist who doesn't appear in the list either
   

A Certain Romance - Arctic Monkeys

This band should be in the countdown and this is their best song. It's an absolute masterpiece.

1. Soup Draft.  Pasta y fagioli is off the board.
   
2. Pick a song that's not in the RS 500 by an artist who doesn't appear in the list either
   

1. Potato Leek

2. Runaway by Del Shannon, can't believe that didn't make the 500

A Certain Romance - Arctic Monkeys

So basically, RS just gave a MASSIVE #### you to Sheffield, England. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

a reflex.

Not in this draft.

Runaway by Del Shannon, can't believe that didn't make the 500

I assumed it was when I saw Runaway at #25 but that was Kanye

Dear RS

Don't You Want Me Baby?

Love, Sheffield

 

[Ilov80s]

Same and that's how good the song is: I didn't bat an eye at it possibly being ranked 25 and yet it wasn't even in the top 500!

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Round 9(?)

Only a couple songs left in this group and I like this one the best. I like this song and think I took it in the last draft but probably doesn't belong on this list.

The Breeders- Cannonball (489)

If Creep and Loser are here, then this should be too. It was just as ubiquitous as those in the same scene/era, and it's better than them. 

ETA: It is probably my fourth favorite in its bloc, after Welcome to the Jungle, Oye Como Va and So What. 

 

[simey]

Is @the moops affair sorted?

Let's go ahead and move on now, but I won't be able to update the spreadsheet until I'm done.  No one else touch it.  Just keep that in mind when selecting.  And make sure you're taking in groupings you haven't already touched, since I won't be checking that until I get back either.

8.20  Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix (#250)

@Eephus

That reminds me, I need to drop some acid

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

No Sleater Kinney, so an FU to Rob Sheffield and Sheffield, England.

 

[Eephus]

It was o.k. - seems like it should have been better given the Copeland / Clarke combo. I liked it just as a Copeland drumming fix, most of the songs were meh. He's done several other "super group" attempts - like right now he's got one going with Mark King, Adrian Belew, and a couple others. Haven't had a chance to check that one out yet, but previous combos have been similarly underwhelming. 

Bottom line is - he's not Sting when it comes to song writing. Those 3 really were at their absolute best when they were together and haven't really approached those heights apart.

I went back and listened to both Animal Logic albums during the pandemic. I think I liked the second one better but neither has aged particularly well.  Deborah Holland is still putting out music.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

A Certain Romance - Arctic Monkeys

I'm just a sucker for Fluorescent Adolescent

 

[cosjobs]

Is that wrong? Should we have not done that? I tell you we gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to us at all when we first started filming that that sort of thing was frowned upon...

Code for "skip me this weekend"

 

[Ilov80s]

No Sleater Kinney, so an FU to Rob Sheffield and Sheffield, England.

I still can't believe they didn't cast a HOF ballot for Gary. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I told him it was the mother ship, and you don't get better than that.

To which he should have said:

Swing down, sweet chariot town and
Let me ride

 

[krista4]

What kind of soup? I had tomato basil soup for dinner.  

OK, stew/soup is cooking so I'm back for a bit.  I'll catch up and update the sheets.

Shrimp, white bean, spinach thingie.

ETA:  I love tomato basil!

1. I'm Japanese so I'll go with Tonkotsu Ramen.  It's technically still a soup even though the noodles are the star of the show.

2. Love - Alone Again Or

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

A few more candidates:

Soothe Me -- Sam & Dave (Soul is well represented, but I just love this song)

Scenario -- Tribe Called Quest

I've already mentioned Maybe I'm Amazed and Let It Whip.

Honorable mention to Closing TIme by Semisonic because I sang along lustily to it today in the car.

My sister in law and her husband used this as their wedding song. 

They have great senses of humor.

I could live without his son's hot takes

 

[Ilov80s]

I know it was mentioned that hair metal and glam seemed underrepresented. Any other genres, eras, etc that you noticed for not being given a fair shake on the RS500?

 

[Northern Voice]

It was discussed earlier but the answer is Arcade Fire - Wake Up. It's ####### ridiculous this band and song/album aren't on the list. 

 

[krista4]

1. Potato Leek

2. Runaway by Del Shannon, can't believe that didn't make the 500

Excellent soup choice.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Actually, this would prolly be my vote for Soundgarden.....turn it up to 11!

The first four songs of Badmotorfinger are Gen X's equivalent of side 1 of Zeppelin IV. I have been saying this for like 20 years now. 

 

[krista4]

French Onion for my soup.

 

[Ilov80s]

Is late 90s-aughts indie the answer to the question I just asked? 

 

[rockaction]

I'll go with this.

1. Italian Wedding Soup

2. Phoenix - 1901

 

[rockaction]

Also,

2. Chicken Noodle (plain old chicken noodle)

2. Rapture - House Of Jealous Lovers

Trip Hop

It's a very USA-centric list. Genres that were bigger in the UK like Shoegaze and Britpop are overlooked.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

went to the Dr for a sinus infection

sorry simey, when I traveled I averaged 3-4 sinus infections a year - miserable.  I am convinced it was the air pressure and crappy air in the planes that caused it.  I have only had a couple in the 8 years I have been retired.

Sinus infections are the pits.   

 

[krista4]

Paul McCartney - Maybe I'm Amazed

Oh I see this was covered.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Oh, and it's not "moops," it's "the moops."

THE CARD SAYS "MOOPS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ilov80s]

French Onion for my soup.

The classic 

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Oh, I am just drinking a beer now. I've already seen this episode of Drag Race UK. 

 just poured my first big drink.  

 

[Northern Voice]

Trip Hop

It's a very USA-centric list. Genres that were bigger in the UK like Shoegaze and Britpop are overlooked.

Pulp made the list but no Suede, Blur, that other band....

 

[Binky The Doormat]

1. I'm Japanese so I'll go with Tonkotsu Ramen.  It's technically still a soup even though the noodles are the star of the show.

2. Love - Alone Again Or

Do we have an order here?

 

[krista4]

I see skipping THE moops didn't help much.  @fatguyinalittlecoatis a single guy with great hair, so he's probably out making the ladies swoon.

 

[Ilov80s]

 just poured my first big drink.  

What's the drink choice tonight?

 

[Northern Voice]

A Certain Romance - Arctic Monkeys

I know it's only a few years later but I think this song is absolutely the more modern UK indie rock equivalent of Pulp's "Common People", which very rightfully made the list. I like this song better but love both so so much and really think they belong here. 

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Also,

2. Chicken Noodle (plain old chicken noodle)

2. Rapture - House Of Jealous Lovers

reaction.

completely out of control - how do you already have your 2nd pick???

 

[Binky The Doormat]

What's the drink choice tonight?

usually Seagrams VO and diet Coke.

 

[simey]

He does have some nice hair, especially when he lets it be wild and free.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

No Sleater Kinney, so an FU to Rob Sheffield and Sheffield, England.

And to Gary Sheffield, who is married to gospel singer Deleon Richards, also not on the list. 

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Oh I see this was covered.

what? how?
