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

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.

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.  :cry:   I did my tough-guy-type yoga today anyway.

 
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).

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.

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.

 
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

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.

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.

 
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.
