Shuke's 1400 favorite songs by 1400 different artists. (2 Viewers)

[Gr00vus]

I'm partial to this one. The lyrics are pretty cool:

Slip Slidin' Away

Picking a single Paul Simon song is a tough dilemma. I think @shuke did about as well as you can.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Picking a single Paul Simon song is a tough dilemma. I think @shuke did about as well as you can.

Maybe he will also do a Garfunkel song.

 

[Waingro]

337. Four Tops - Bernadette

This one goes out to @AAABatteries

Levi Stubbs has an excellent voice and delivers every lyric with so much passion. This group had sooo many hits. Kudos to narrowing it down to one. 

Baby I Need Your Loving, I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch), Ain't No Woman (Like the One I've Got), Walk Away Renee

My Favorite - I Got A Feeling

 

[Waingro]

334. Santana - Black Magic Woman

I like much. I love just about everything put out by Carlos, but my favorite somewhat new is this: 

Everlast & Santana - Put Your Lights On

I'll offer up a Santana Instrumental

I Love You Much Too Much

 

[Binky The Doormat]

But if any of those songs came on, I'd change the channel or hit skip.

double for me.  

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

and because i'm a suckah for proto prog/goth told in "Star Wars" fashion - WALA!

Where's Jar Jar?!

Good one but this one really grows on you.

This is my pop's favorite. He turned me onto it upon release.

Very nice!

I'll offer up a Santana Instrumental

I Love You Much Too Much

Reaaly good!

double for me.  

Kinda early for a double, Bink...

...but it's Friday!

316. Sondre Lerche - After All

 

[shuke]

315. Gomez - How We Operate

Also considered: See the World

 

[shuke]

314. Traveling Wilburys - Handle With Care

 

[krista4]

315. Gomez - How We Operate

Also considered: See the World

Didn't you choose See the World from them early in the countdown?  I swear I told my Bonnaroo story in regard to that song in this thread.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

316. Sondre Lerche - After All

My first thought was this:

For research only

315. Gomez - How We Operate

Also considered: See the World

Really - -- Gomez is next?

Dear lord...

 

[shuke]

313. EL VY - Return to the Moon

Also considered: Paul is Alive

I've gone back and forth a dozen times because I love both these songs.  

EL VY is a between Cincinnati native Matt Berninger (lead vocalist of The National) and Brent Knopf (founding member of Ramona Falls and Menomena).

Oops.

 

[krista4]

316. Sondre Lerche - After All

Love him hard.  Saw him play at Martyr's in Chicago after release of his first record (2000-2001ish?).  He wrote the songs on the first record when he was 17 IIRC, recorded it at 18, and was touring just after.  He was incredibly mature in his sound and songwriting skill, as well as his live performance, as only a teenager!  I've been hooked ever since.  My favorites from the first record (Faces Down):  Dead Passengers  Mother Nature  Sleep on Needles

 

[shuke]

Head out for the weekend.  I'll have to make a replacement for my previous Gomez pick at spot 983.

Wow - really good!

I like discover'n local talent.

Good video - with lyrics.

I really like the lyrics.

Scratched a ticket with a leg of a cricket
And I got triple Jesus
Cashed it in for a Siamese twin
At the family firing range
...

Bought a saltwater fish from a colorblind witch
Cause she said she loved it
Couldn't tell her the part that would break her heart
But it loved me
....

My two favs above.

Poor witch.

Take your pick from one of the others

 

[Brony]

I like that Royals Lorde tune. 

New Order Age of Consent is one of my favorite songs, but I need a  replacement for that when my kids ask about my top tunes.

 

[Gr00vus]

Transmission by Joy Division is a good proxy, sound wise. I might even like it a tad better, a bit more raw and edgy.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

As we go lower in the count these are supposed to be getting better ...right?

Not again...

 

[Brony]

Radio by Joy Division is a good proxy, sound wise. I might even like it a tad better, a bit more raw and edgy.

Track is Transmission, right?  They do sound similar. 

Dreams Never End from New Order is darn fine proxy too. 

 

[Gr00vus]

Yes, I botched the name, it is Transmission (edited my post to correct).

 

[Osaurus]

[5-ish Finkle]

Maybe he will also do a Garfunkel song.

No need.  Simon controls him.

315. Gomez - How We Operate

Also considered: See the World

I enjoy Tiajuana Lady more than either, but all are fine songs.  Get Myself Arrested also worthy of a listen.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

369. Sonic Youth - Incinerate

Good call. So many great tunes to choose from. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

Probably been asked, but you rocking a spotify playlist of your 1000 songs?

431. Ram Jam - Black Betty

revisiting ... popped up on my youtubez mix - best user comment evah: "my neighbors called the cops on me for playing this too low"

 

[rockaction]

335. Lorde - Royals

I love this song. This totally exploded radio back in '13 when it came out.  Just insanely catchy, really well-written lyrics. Everything about this song was great.

I'm just ####in' with you gb.  

The French thing is a long offshoot of the attack of the Landrys in a FBG-backed restaurant vote a few years back.  Also, it's fun to make fun of the French. 

I dislike all rap - pile a French guy on top of that ... 

 

[Mister CIA]

I'm in love with this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4enJuJzwjY&index=11&list=PLivCEdej3AzuSpPK8G9NjTYHucvVp4ozY

Listening to Hit 'Em Up, 20 years ago: "This is the illest diss track of all time, #### Bad Boy, west side til I die!"

Listening to Hit 'Em Up, today: "Oh my goodness, he just threatened that man's life."

 

[Rustoleum]

Going to the gorge, actually.  Going with my son's boy scout trip this weekend.  Usually do that once a year and get down a few other times a year.  Doing via ferrata, which is like rock climbing with rebar and cables.  

Sweet. Our troop camped in Mammoth Cave National Park this weekend, but the actual outing was to the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green and then watching drag racing at Beech Bend. Loved not having to deal with any rain on a camp out for once, but it was 88 there yesterday. Last time I was in the gorge on a day like that it was brutally muggy. How did it turn out?

 

[Mister CIA]

413. Loudon Wainwright III - Bill of Goods

I had this on a mixed tape I made from CDs I borrowed from the library.  

Hope to see a couple more Wainwrights picked.

 

[Mister CIA]

Speaking of Wainwrights, this is pretty ####in' awesome: Heroes

I haven't read the thread because I know I will be disappointed at the explanation for  drawing the line at 1003 instead of 1004.

it was an uplifting story about Shuke's breakthrough.  He had been previously stuck on 1,000 and didn't feel as though he could expand the list.  

We're all quite proud of him.

If you don’t have Chemical Brothers in your top 1000 I’m quitting FBGs forever.   serious.

I thought @krista4 was in charge of this.

How was the hiking/climbing trip?
