Round 16

Dancing Queen - ABBA  (#286)

 

[simey]

@fatguyinalittlecoat

 

[Doug B]

Acclaimed Music has a top 10000 list

Come Dancing by The Kinks is at #10000.  Animotion is at #9993

No "Love Is Like Oxygen" That's pretty suspect for a 10K-deep list.

Dang, no "Ai No Corrida", either? Yikes.

 

[krista4]

For fatguy:

Merle Haggard - Mama Tried  (#376)

I suspect this is it for the night, but @the moops

 

[Steve Tasker]

7 fka twigs songs (which are all great, mind you) in the top 10,000, and no "Glass and Patron"?

what

 

[Northern Voice]

Just cracking the top 8000 at #7999, a Canadian pop-punk classic. 

Again, should be higher imo

 

[El Floppo]

The Jam has like 15 songs on there. Well respected.

Never heard of them.

 

[El Floppo]

AAAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH this board won't let me say g.o.d. d.a.m.n. either

Golly that was fun

At least 7542 for sure.

Oh hell yeah.  That's the former Mr. Avril Lavigne right there.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

My "celebration" of becoming an old person continues. Last month I had my first colonoscopy and tomorrow I'm getting my shingles vaccine. Hopefully that won't knock me out, but I'll advise if things are heading that way. 

 

[Northern Voice]

"Break Stuff" is on that top 10, 000 but no "Nookie", "Rollin'" or "My Way" 

 

[Yo Mama]

For me, the shingles vaccine hit me way worse than the covid vaccine or any flu shot I ever got. I had a bad fever that night. Good luck.

Ugh, I need to do the shingles vaccine.

Got my flu shot yesterday since I was at the doctor.  I don't recall it hurting so much before.    I did my tough-guy-type yoga today anyway.

 

[Steve Tasker]

"Break Stuff" is on that top 10, 000 but no "Nookie", "Rollin'" or "My Way" 

Noticeable lack of Blink-182's "First Date", but we got the rest of the hits.

One of my co-workers said the same thing.

Where the #### is "I Miss You"

 

[Atomic Punk]

I love every song left in that group but I was telling @Steve Tasker just a while ago that this was close to my favourite song left on the board.

It is one of the last songs on the list that fits with my draft theme, so my options are limited. But this is such a fun song, it really is hard not to groove to it.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Where the #### is "I Miss You"

Their failed foray into ballads, I believe.

 

[Doug B]

Going through some of the songs on the Rolling Stone 500 that I'd never heard before.

- MIA, "Paper Planes": Curious how I missed this -- never caught this in the background somewhere, kids never listened to it, nothing. The song is of and to a different generation ... can't find a connection.

Someone make a comparison for me: Not knowing "Paper Planes" in the 2010s is like not knowing (blank) in the 1980s.

"Beat It"?
"Like A Virgin"?
"Tarzan Boy"?

What level of 2010s cluelessness are we talking about here?

Warning: This is coming from the guy who never heard "Hey There Delilah" or C-Lo's "Eff You" or Flo-Rida's "Low" until they were taken in drafts here. Just learned about two years ago what song Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" was (though I had heard that one in the background out and about, just never got a title/artist ID).

 

[Pip's Invitation]

@krista4We're discussing old people vaccines AND Limp Bizkit's greatest hits. 

 

[Binky The Doormat]

No "Love Is Like Oxygen" That's pretty suspect for a 10K-deep list.

completely agree.

 

[krista4]

Limp Bizkit also sounds like an old-people issue.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Just cracking the top 8000 at #7999, a Canadian pop-punk classic. 

Again, should be higher imo

#6195 another Canadian classic that should be higher.

 

[Northern Voice]

Easily Their best song failed foray into ballads, I believe.

Yeah, so where is it?

Or should I say..

WHERE ARE YOU!?!?

(I wish we could still do big text)

I've never heard of it either, that I know of. But I have heard the other songs you mentioned in your last paragraph, and did so when they were new or relatively new. 

 

[Yo Mama]

It was one shot but pretty sure you need a booster after a few years or something. Don’t quote me though. 

 

[Doug B]

No "Love Is Like Oxygen" That's pretty suspect for a 10K-deep list.

completely agree.

It's at least on Acclaimed's  Bubbling Under list for 1978. That would ballpark it as something like #10,500 -- 10,600.

 

[Northern Voice]

#6195 another Canadian classic that should be higher.

Sloan and The New Pornographers both well represented on the list, thankfully.

 

[Northern Voice]

I'm so sorry on behalf of whoever made you listen to this monstrosity.

And also sorry if the person who picked it is in this draft (looking at you Tim...)

It wasn't a big hit in the popular consciousness, so don't feel bad about not knowing it. I think it was more an indie/dance/hip-hop thing...definitely big there.

 

[Steve Tasker]

I chime in with a "haven't you people ever heard of closing the god [insert word that FBG won't let us say] door? No?  It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality."

Good ol #7122

 

[Manster]

I love Dixie Chicks. That song wouldn't crack my top 30 by them. 

It actually kind of irritates me that it's on the list because I don't hate it but it's probably the 8th best song on Fly. 

I would encourage everyone to listen to Heartbreak Town, Without You, Sin Wagon, Cold Day in July, Cowboy Take Me Away, Ready to Run, etc, etc, etc. 

Dixie Chicks are so good and this song is just too shticky/RS making some statement. 

I'll have to revisit them.  I dabble in country, but I've always pretty neutral on the Dixie Chicks.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Is shingles a series or just one shot?

Sadly, it's a 2 dose series, 2-6mo apart.

And it's often unpleasant.  But definitely less unpleasant than getting Shingles.  Go get it.

Top Youtube comment:  "Emo Willy wonka breaks into a wedding and insults the bride"

 

[Chaos Commish]

19 with Rihanna, another 19 from Portishead and Massive Attack - could be my schtick to just choose from them.

Just quoting you.

I had shingles about 20 years ago.  ####### awful.

It's tough to do multi-decade comps because pop culture is much more fragmented in 2010.  MIA would have been played on MTV in the 80s and everyone would know about her.

I would go with someone like De La Soul as a 80s comp because MIA was highly regarded by music snobs and cool kids and Paper Planes has a bright groove like some of DLS songs.

 

[Eephus]

I'll have to revisit them.  I dabble in country, but I've always pretty neutral on the Dixie Chicks.

I listened to their 2020 album once and don't remember a thing about it.

 

[Eephus]

Thanks for the reminder on the shingles vax. I deferred at my last physical because I was in the next group for the Covid shot.

 

[Eephus]

Three Shaggy songs make the 10K

 

[Doug B]

MIA would have been played on MTV in the 80s and everyone would know about her.

Weirdly, when watching that video, I recognized her face -- MIA, the artist. She's getting known for something not related to music, isn't she?

 

[krista4]

Ringo has two songs.  "It Don't Come Easy" and..."Photograph"?  Why no, the second is "Back Off Boogaloo."   

Btw, ctrl-F shows 73 hits on "Beatles."

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Why no, the second is "Back Off Boogaloo."   

Its melody was stolen for David Essex' Rock On, so maybe it's considered influential?
