[Man of Constant Sorrow]

good tune - they have several worthy of consideration

Tell Me Why

Joining a Fanclub

New Mistake

 

[Nipsey]

New to me. Saved.

Ugly apparition, God's gift to oxygen
The puffed up immortal son
How they love him 'cause he'll become
The ghost at number one

...

Sure life's no cherry but a cupcake for the meek (shoot up bop bop)
So he shoots up his poison until the frosting tastes so sweet (like a valentine)
 

Man - I hate diabetes! 

I think I've watched this like 10 times in a row. Lead singer/standing drummer! How were these guys not bigger?

Sweet! I prefer live - and Jools has some great acts. Which reminds me ...

I know shuke selected a QOTSA song, but he forgot to include my "viewer selection" - no prob shuke.

Anyways, I originally picked something else, but this is my current "make-up" pick.

Desert Sessions (Josh Homme & PJ Harvey) - I Wanna Make It Wit Chu

 

[identikit]

Josh Joplin -- Camera One

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

The Warlocks - "Mind Bender (Confusion Prince)"

If only I could be less blind
If only I knew what to find
Everywhere and all of the time
It's bending my mind

Confusion's Prince is at my door
The crown I wear is the one he wore
He's here to bring me down some more
And bend my mind

The friendly stranger call my name
He only wants me for his game
But it don't matter just the same
I'll bend his mind

I'll wave my flags into the sun
I've fought my wars and now they're won
And I didn't need nobody's gun
I bent their minds

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone

I like it, but I will always lean this way on the Loggins:

"I'm Alright" Kenny Loggins "Caddyshack Theme”

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Fatboy Slim - Praise You

Local grocery store actually has this on their rotation. 

 

[otb_lifer]

Nick Cave pick 880.

For some of these others, would really appreciate some suggested songs.

Pogues so many great ones, chose this one in memory of my Irish side granpa - he told me the stories of his emigration every Saturday when i visited him ... over nonstop Jameson pours and Lucky Strikes for both of us (mind you, he passed when i was 16)

-  backup with this classic 

Dropkick Murphys ripping cover of a storied traditional

- backup with this cautionary ditty 

i'll chuck some others up in due time - got a feeling this thread's gonna hang around awhile  

 

[otb_lifer]

So good.  Totally forgot about this tune.  

 it's impossible to not love tnat one

This song was my pick 997

well, i was still on hiatus when ya started ... i shoulda checked the sheet 

 

[zamboni]

Not sure how long we are supposed to keep digging here, but so be it.

Payola$ - Eyes Of A Stranger

Zebra - Tell Me What You Want

Yazoo - Winter Kills

Great White - Rock Me

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Fatboy Slim - Praise You

Local grocery store actually has this on their rotation. 

Very cool, but I must ask ... do you regularly track the music rotations of all the grocery stores you peruse? 

Which stores offer the best mix of inspiration and nutrition?

It seems like they usually play the same songs every time I'm anywhere. Music to buy food to?

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

It seems like they usually play the same songs every time I'm anywhere.

I think you may be a music magnet. It is rare, but not unheard of. 

How often are you anywhere?

Music to buy food to?

Novel concept. 

@shuke has already mastered "music to eat food to" ... this is a logical extension.

 

[jomar]

For some of these others, would really appreciate some suggested songs.

Flogging Molly - If I Ever Leave This World Alive

 

[shuke]

Haddaway - What Is Love

headbob.  

Ok that’s enough.  

 

[shuke]

Did I miss 38 Special?  I'm not a big country rock guy, but these are great songs - Daytun, Ahai mannnnnn.

So Caught Up In You

Hold On Loosely

Horrible

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

People now naming any song they’ve ever heard.

[Dr. Octopus]

Here's a few that would have had to crack my top 1,000:

Flying Burrito Brothers - Hot Burrito #1 

Drivin n Cryin - Fly Me Courageous

Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger - Walk and Don't Look Back

Nick Drake - Pink Moon

God Street Wine - Into the Sea

Roger Waters - 5:01 AM (The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking)

Vampire Weekend - Holiday

Justin Townes Earle - Harlem River Blues

So I Am Over You - Pete Droge

The Thorns - I Can't Remember

Grandaddy - He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot

Ronnettes - Be My Baby

Frank Sinatra - Summer Wind

Sweet - Fox On the Run

Johhny Thunders - You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory

 

[jomar]

Meh. It's overplayed, yadda yadda yadda. I am firmly in the Astral Weeks camp. That whole album is a beautiful tapestry so I hesitate to offer a single track, but here is Madame George. I cannot recommend it highly enough, if you've never listened to the whole album straight through.

this post jogged some memories from years ago when I spent some time with a friend of my older brother.  he was big into this album and we spent a weekend listening to it and other stuff from around the same period.  so I went to iTunes on Friday night and ended up downloading 4 Van Morrison albums, Astral Weeks/Blowin' Your Mind/Moondance/St Dominics Preview, and spend all weekend laying around the pool and playing Van Morrison 

My oldest son is 14 yo going into his sophomore year and he plays sax in band.  He's like 'who is this?' and 'can you load this onto my phone?'.  so yesterday, I put 4 albums plus the Best of on his phone and he will in turn play it for his buddies and hopefully the cycle will keep repeating.  what great stuff. 

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Belle and Sebastien - Marx and Engels

Eff them right in the funny little frog in their throat.

Kasabian - Club Foot

plus

Kasabian - eez-eh

Great, great band.  Wrong track(s):  "Vlad the Impaler" is their tops, for me.  "L.S.F." also a hella strong contender for their best.

 

[WDIK2]

Charlie Burton & The Cut-outs - Cowboy Song

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Horrible

I no longer believe you are from Southern Ohio.  

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Who shops in buildings anymore?

Is it even possible?

Stay Hungry!

Here's a few that would have had to crack my top 1,000:

Nick Drake - Pink Moon

This one in particular seems right in Shuke's wheelhouse.

I need to take a day off to properly absorb this thread in its entirety as we're around the same age and I think our taste in music is pretty similar. A couple from our youth to consider if you expand it:

The Tubes Talk To Ya Later

David & David Welcome to the Boomtown

oh damn ...didn't notice no Tubes!!!  I could fill ten spots easy with these guys - and a large range of styles

White Punks on Dope (if only one I have to go here)

TV is King

Don't Want to Wait Anymore

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Shuke - anything from Bonnie Raitt or Fiona Apple do anything for you?  

Raitt

Something To Talk About

Thing Called Love

Apple

Criminal

Shadowboxer

 

[shuke]

271. Nick Drake - Place To Be

Such a beautiful sound.  Such a tragic story.

Also considered: Northern Sky, Free Ride

Bump for people who refuse to read the thread.  

 

[shuke]

702. Bonnie Raitt - Give it Up or Let Me Go

That's Raitt, with two T's

Great question, Binky

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Bump for people who refuse to read the thread.  

Thnx.

Apple

Criminal

Shadowboxer

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Bump for people who refuse to read the thread.  

Sorry - I had must have missed it originally and then skimming through the first page (1,000 + artist not in alphabetical order makes it togh). Glad to see he was there though. Hopefully the rest of my list was new.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Great question, Binky

He is Mr. Jeopardy!

Now, who has an answer?

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Bump for people who refuse to read the thread.  

to be fair ...tracking 1,000+ songs isn't easy.  

I copied, pasted them in excel, separated them text to columns, and then sorted them ...and have still had a couple hiccups on the "The" thing.  

ETA:  great timing with the Bonnie Raitt miss 

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

It Ain't Easy

 

[zamboni]

Control + F on page 1 works wonders to search what has already been listed.

 

[zamboni]

It Ain't Easy

In a similar vein, this is a great tune and not just another throw-in:

Manassas - It Doesn't Matter

 

[shuke]

Right?  I’m not sure why people are copying this into other formats and making charts.  

Hint: if you want to search for “The ______”, just search for “______”.  

*this may not work for The The.

@General Malaise @urbanhack How was camping with shukemix?

@General Malaise @urbanhack How was camping with shukemix?

Well, I went to fire it up Friday evening, but we were way out of cell phone range and I only have the free version of Spotify.

So, haven't gotten it up yet, but will get to it this week when I grill, cook, do dishes or go on my daily walks.

What The The ####?

[The Dreaded Marco]

Also, please post individual songs to make your case.  Going to take a few years to redo this and expand to 1500.  

The Wrens

This Boy Is Exhausted

Happy

Built In Girls

16 years and counting.....still waiting for that follow up to The Meadowlands.

Yeah, I just alphabetically sorted them - pretty nice that the ones below are the only ones with "The" in front of the band name:

The Chemical Brothers - The Golden Path

The Honeydrippers - Sea Of Love

The Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine

The The - This Is The Day 

The Youngbloods - Get Together

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Yeah, I just alphabetically sorted them -

OK - so - which is your highest and lowest?

 

[Binky The Doormat]

OK - so - which is your highest and lowest?

wut? you mean A - Z?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

wut? you mean A - Z?

ABBA and ZZ Top.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

wut? you mean A - Z?

A to Z or Z to A or N to M etc...

I figured with all of the confusion generated in K's Beatles thread regarding rank terminology that you would have some sort of strategy laid out here.

I could be wrong.

gotcha ...yeah, no ranking involved, just alphabetical order so I can who was drafted and who wasn't

Well see ... that is a strategy to avoid confusion.

Nice!

I like alpha ratings. Less quibbling about specific slots and more immediate outrage over an artist getting passed over.
