[Man of Constant Sorrow]

I'm still on 998...I think. 

Possibly goin back to 999 for a while as well. Love her. 

Well, after my usual 4 hours a sleep, I did go back to 999 - Deap Vally - and found that I like lotsa their stuff, but, the reason I'm here, is that I found a nice live version of Reflection. 

Dudes & dudettes - I am in love!

Who do we pm with questions?

 

[pecorino]

No one yet predicting your #1? I’ll take a stab at it. I’ll assume it’s a Phish tune so that narrows it down to about 250 possibilities. My gut says you won’t go chalk so I’m thinking David Bowie or Fluffhead. Ah, I’ll just go chalk with You Enjoy Myself. Have fun going backwards down the number line.

 

[El Floppo]

Let's go already. Some of us quit our jobs for this.

 

[shuke]

I only know a few of the songs so far. 

That’s kind of the point.  Hope you find something you like.  

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Let's go already. Some of us quit our jobs for this.

A few - speaking fer a friend - got fired. 

At least one - speakin fer me - is virtually unemployable. 

 

[Thorn]

I was wondering why I hadn't heard much about soap fusion from you in awhile.

 

[Rove!]

I was always planning on starting the countdown with a shticky song or two to break the ice.  I had one slated in this spot for years but I had to bump it out recently because I needed the room.  

As for this song, I'm almost positive someone posted it on this board.  Without remembering who, I'll just assume @McJose.

Yes the lyrics are ridiculous and her voice can be grating, but this beat is contagious and stays in my head for days after hearing it.

1000. Suburban Lawns -- Janitor

From wiki:  "Suburban Lawns were an American post-punk band formed in Long Beach, California in 1978 by CalArts students William "Vex Billingsgate" Ranson and Sue "Su Tissue" McLane. They later recruited Richard "Frankie Ennui" Whitney, Charles "Chuck Roast" Rodriguez, and John "John Gleur" McBurney."

The band sounds really tight.  The vocals are just a bit out there.  Persona wise, I am getting an April from Parks and Rec vibe from her.  Guitar solo is really nice there

Agreed. I checked out some of their other songs last night, and your comments stand on those as well - imo.

Personally, while I appreciate good musicianship (etc) - many, many of my favs are not, traditionally speaking, "good". 

I am more bowled over by uniqueness, emotion, intensity and other more subtle things. 

I truly like this band.

997. The Heartbreakers - Born to Lose

For you punk fans, I'm warning you, you're not going to see a lot of it here.  But this song is just fun enough to make the cut.  The guitar solo in this is pretty good, too.

Born Too Loose, unless you had the cass-ette.

 

[AcerFC]

What people?

That has you shuked huh?

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

That has you shuked huh?

Wow - mind blown. 

 

[Gr00vus]

992. Aaron Lee Tasjan - Little Movies

I like this one. I think the engineer/producer kind of let him down here though - everything is too loud all the time, it would be a much better song with more dynamic range. This problem isn't unique to this song, it seems to afflict a lot of songs from the past 15 years or so.

 

[Gr00vus]

989. Lindsey Buckingham - Holiday Road

Do I really like this song?  Not completely sure.  But Vacation was one of my favorite movies growing up, and this is catchy.
 

Like this one. If I were to pick only one Lindsey Buckingham song (which I think is the game in this thread, right?) I'd go with Trouble. I can see how it might be a little too early 80's lush in a cheesy way for many though.

 

[Scott Tenorman]

1000. Suburban Lawns -- Janitor

Why on earth would I click on that link?  Serious question.

 

[Scott Tenorman]

Shuke ...can you slow down a bit? 

 

[Scott Tenorman]

992. Aaron Lee Tasjan - Little Movies

Loved his recent song "End of the Day" but this one is solid.

And this is just the thing to get the FFA back on track.  Thanks Shuke!

986. The Chats - Smoko

Love the bass in this.

 

[Gr00vus]

986. The Chats - Smoko

Love the bass in this.

Now I want to know what the heck Smoko is, and why you'd want to be on it. But not enough to google it.

 

[wikkidpissah]

988. George Ezra - Don’t Matter Now

Got anything better than........

hadda be said

 

[Brony]

Link is not to the song advertised.

I had Planet Clare pegged between 233 and 250.

I had Planet Clare pegged between 233 and 250. 

Actually what happened was I had a B-52's song slated for this spot.  I really hate the B-52's.  I tried to find something I liked, but couldn't.  So I pulled Smoko back into the top 1000.

That's your one and only spoiler.

 

[shuke]

Fixed. Thanks

 

[zamboni]

If not too much of a hassle, any way to copy the links in the OP? 

Definitely want to listen to these, but can’t keep up right now.

dude ...wtf??

985. Molly Hatchet - Dreams I'll Never See

Flirtin' with disaster is way overplayed. This song is better anyway.  But I hate the lead singer's voice.  This would be much better as an instrumental.

I'll put the list and you can search the tubes.

They're horrible.

JESUS F'N CRIPES! 

You less than 20 dongs into yer thousands - and you already breakin' da rules? 

WTF - Tim! 

 

[Binky The Doormat]

They're horrible.

I just don't know who you are anymore.  

 

[shuke]

984. String Cheese Incident - Black Clouds

If you don't like jam bands, you can probably skip this one.

 

[Gr00vus]

They're horrible.

I can understand the sentiment. I don't hate them myself. I think they have a few decent tunes like Give Me Back My Man, Dance This Mess Around, etc.

 

[El Floppo]

986. The Chats - Smoko

Love the bass in this.

LEAVE ME ALONE!

 

[shuke]

I can understand the sentiment. I don't hate them myself. I think they have a few decent tunes like Give Me Back My Man, Dance This Mess Around, etc.

Dance Around This Mess was what I had slated.  I just cannot stand the vocals.

 

[El Floppo]

They're horrible.

I rescind my wub.

979. Ted Nugent - Free For All

Sorry I don't have much to say about a lot of these.   

 

[shuke]

978. Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science

One just for nostalgia's sake. I'm 46, so definitely grew up an MTV kid.  People like to say that kids back in the day spent all their time outside from dawn to dusk.  I remember playing outside a lot, in the woods, pick up baseball/basketball/football, riding our bikes, getting into trouble.  But I also remember plenty of time inside playing Atari, watching MTV, and looking at Playboys.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

981. The Go-Betweens - Apology Accepted

One of my favorite bands.  I wouldn't have chosen this particular song but glad to see they made your top 981.

What would you have selected?  This is one of the reasons for the thread.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

979. Ted Nugent - Free For All

Sorry I don't have much to say about a lot of these.   

we thought Ted was a maniac back in the day, just not the kind of maniac he turned out to be.

people may not like this music, but there is no denying how much ### is being kicked here.  

 

[shuke]

I think everyone is already as bored as I am with this.

977. The Postal Service - We Will Become Silhouettes

I only know of this song because The Shins covered it.
