Shuke's 1400 favorite songs by 1400 different artists. (3 Viewers)

The answer is in the MAD31 thread. Not sure my idea was going to work as i scanned and got ideas shot down after seeing your list.

I went in there and couldn't figure it out. I have not been able to keep up with those threads. Need to catch up. I saw you're doing Lord Huron. I just saw them for the 9th time a few weeks ago.

After this MAD countdown, our next exercise will be a themed countdown run by krista. You pick 31 songs that are not all by the same artist but have some sort of common theme.

KP was thinking of doing 31 songs by artists not listed by you in this thread. He seems to think it won't work because you can add an artist at any time. But maybe it would work if it was "artists not in Shuke's thread as of X date."

Now it's more I don't think it would work because I won't have enough interesting material. The cheat code would be hip hop and metal, but that isn't quite shticky enough.
 
I got inspired and made a solid playlist of 50 songs. @shuke - sorry for missing discussion in the past. There is very little heavy/metal and hip hop on the list - genres you hate or genres you don't actively explore?

I would say "not prefer" instead of "hate". I think I've explored enough to realized I don't like 90% of it.

Have not read anything here except these last two posts so excuse the interruption but given your message, coupled with your username, I'm fairly certain my musical tastes would align quite nicely with your top 50 list. And now I'm curious. Where can it be found, or better yet, listened to? Thanks.

Fair enough. I'm not going to go crazy on either, but I will have a handful. I have a 2nd layer of shtick going on and will limit myself to artists that I can also at least suggest 1 full album to listen to for more research. It can't be just some random song I heard.
 
great thread Shuke. Our music tastes are very similar. Love the love you show MMJ…..so hard to narrow one of their songs as a favorite but the short list would include the 3 you mentioned. OBHoliday may be played but it’s so good. MMJ’s Ants Marching.

4 others I love:

Phone went west
Touch Me I’m gonna scream Pt 2
Steam Engine
Mahgeetah
 
9. Phish - Fluffhead

The song appears as two tracks on the Junta album, but it's all played now just as "Fluffhead".

Here's a live version if you want to feel like being at a concert. This was the first song played after they reunited in 2009 after a lengthy hiatus.

Being a fan of the Grateful Dead, it was only natural for me to be exposed to a lot of Phish. I love both bands, but I think they get associated too closely. There are plenty of fans of one group that doesn't like the other, and that's totally understandable, as the music really is different.

While I had hundreds of hours of bootlegs and all the albums, for some reason I was never able to see Phish early on, and I very much regret it. I didn't see them until 2017.

A lot of great songs I could list as "also considered", but one that occupied this spot for a long time was Divided Sky. I've soured on it some because there's now an obligatory long pause during the middle of the song that I'm not a fan of. @pecorino already hashed this out in his Phish thread so I won't get into more details here.
This is a fantastic choice. Phish is my favorite band of all time, and Fluffhead may be their magnum opus. It was my favorite Phish song for a long time. I currently rank it tied for 2nd with Hood just behind Slave - but much respect to your choice.

The peak in Fluffhead is peak Phish. Well done shuke.

It Still Moves, with One Big Holiday, Run Thru and Steam Engine, is like if Neil Young had come up with Down by the River, Cortez the Killer and Like a Hurricane all at the same time, and put them on the same album.
 
7. Radiohead - Paranoid Android

Here's yet another band I discovered on SNL. It was in 2000 following their release of Kid A. Sure, I'd heard Creep, but I totally had missed The Bends and OK Computer. I blame the FFA for this. This is what the wife and I saw, and we (especially me) were blow away. Within days I had all the CDs and it was all I was listening to for months.

Other favorites: Airbag, National Anthem, High and Dry
Forgot (once again) about GUEST APPEARANCE. @The Dreaded Marco chose Let Down as one of his three picks. That's right, he's the big winner, with his three artists falling in my top 20.
Paranoid’s a great choice. I’d offer that throwing on some high end head phones and cranking Let Down and/or Fake Plastic Trees can be almost spiritual the way Yorke’s emotions interact with the building intensity. I feel like I need a cigarette after a good listen, and I don’t smoke.

It Still Moves & Z stack up against any band’s top 2 albums IMO. Both are masterpieces.
 
My guess for Shuke's top 5 (a little chalky):

5. Radiohead - Paranoid Android

4. The Rolling Stones - Monkey Man

3. Phish - Chalk Dust Torture

2. Pick Floyd - Comfortably Numb

1. The Grateful Dead - Eyes of the World
I realize I’m late to the party but props to Nips for these calls.
 
1. Grateful Dead - Eyes of the World

Ate the ripe age of 16 years and one month, my parents let me go with 3 other guys from Dayton to Cincinnati to see the Grateful Dead. My life would never be the same. I didn't know many of the songs I heard at the time, but I loved it all, including this song played in the second set and straight into drums.

The live album I linked to was released in April 1991, right before I graduated high school. I bought it immediately. Later that fall, my good friends and I drove up to Cleveland to see the Dead play at the Richfield Coliseum. I can't remember if I had started school at UC yet, but this was with my high school friends, and were all parting different ways. The show was where the Cavs used to play, but was out in the middle of nowhere. There was a campground nearby where we stayed with thousands others, and we able to walk to and from the show(s). I believe there were two that weekend but can't remember if we went to both. Regardless, it was one of the greatest weekends of my life.

I know others may point to better versions of the song, there are some great ones with Branford Marsalis on sax. But I've listen to this live album more than anything in my life. And probably this song more than any other.

Not sure how Nipsey knew this.
Probably my favorite GD song as well. If I may - one of my favorite versions: Winterland ‘74

Agreed, and I think The Waterfall is too.
