And they get extra points for using the apostrophe appropriately.That bass line is killer.You're Going Down was in my first 5 out and just missed. Love that song.

I'm three for three so far on new-to-me songs getting a "Wow." As is tradition, the first new-to-me song that gets added to my new-to-me favorites playlist for the countdown gets to be the name of the playlist. For this countdown, the playlist is entitled "The Other Side Of Mt. Heart Attack." I've also added "Get Lucky" and "Para Lennon E McCartney" to the list so far. I'm embarrassed that I didn't know that Daft Punk song, but now I do!
I saw that tour in Philly -- very random bill, but SA and ST were real good (though Mark Lanegan's voice was worse for the wear). The Spin Doctors were terrible, which was disappointing because I had seen them twice before and those sets had been good.For about five years, the Screaming Trees were my top band. I don't remember why or how, but I picked up a copy of the Uncle Anesthesia CD and played the ever loving #### out of it. Saw them live once at Sunken Gardens Theater in San Antonio in Sep '93, opening the show around 6:00 pm with a 100 degree sun beating down on them. Fantastic show, and the second act, Soul Asylum was just as good. We (me and the pregnant wife) skidaddled before the Spin Doctors could wash away the good vibe.
It's #2 on my list of sportsBaseball kind of sucks these days, but not that bad.Would've had MLB in top 15 if I knew they qualified.
I saw them in '92 at a 1000-capacity club in Philly -- that show was astounding. One of my favorite performances of the era. I saw them again at the same venue in '96 right when Dust came out (no Homme in the touring band yet).I saw em once at La Luna in Portland in '97. Josh Homme was with em at the time....it was the Dust your. Pretty awesome, but I would've loved to have seen em in the early 90's.For about five years, the Screaming Trees were my top band.

Uncle Anesthesia gets better with age, imo.
I'm no expert on most new music but some of the instrumental ambient metal can be quite good. The Great Nothing is the most recent artist I've heard.she's 17 now, and the music i hear wafting down from upstairs is usually Siouxsie, Cure, SOaD, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Nirvana, Misfits, Ramones, Type O, Beatles, Hendrix, Doors ... plus some pretty ambient metal - so, a mix of some of her mom's & dad's favorites, plus some of her own choosing (i don't know some of the bands, but they're relatively good rocking stuff).
The medical profession keeps people real busy.Seriously......who's never heard of Bob Marley?
The newer music gets, the further away from it I am.
yes. and i'm quite OK with that.
the only exposure i get (got) was via my daughter, mostly when she were younger ... most notably recall her 10th b'day party, where i brought in some "professional" karaoke foo' to entertain the kidz - all garbage tripe for the most part, but the Bruno Mars FUNK tune (Uptown Funk?) really made an impression - dug that one a ton ... she would also listen to Lady GaGa, etc

she applies a great deal of it to her personal choreography for recitals (been dancing since 3 yrs old), and i'm quite the proud papa that she eschews the mindless autotune pop/hip-pop/hip-hop stench that most her age are just mining for vacuous tiktok vids, etc.
The newer music gets, the further away from it I am.I'm surprised this is new to some of you, but also glad it's hitting your ears like it is.Get Lucky -- Daft Punk ft. Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers (DrIanMalcolm). Extremely bumpin'. I have never paid much attention to Daft Punk, and this song plus the one in Last Five Out tell me I need to rectify that.
I'm floored people haven't heard this.
Yes to all of this. Once my son was born in 2011, my encounters with new music and movies plummeted.Same, which is one reason I started being more involved in music threads on this forum. I went through a period early in father hood in which not sure if hyperbole nothing new entered my ears for several consecutive years pre-covid.The newer music gets, the further away from it I am.
Now, there are a few songs that are so ubiquitous that they ended up on my radar anyway. The aforementioned Uptown Funk is one of those.
Yea, but you gotta be living under a rock to not know who Bob Marley is.The medical profession keeps people real busy.Seriously......who's never heard of Bob Marley?
I had a ten minute ride dropping my stepson off at school - which was the only time I would spend with Top 40 radio on, and I probably heard that song 100 times in three months.this one was one that I couldn't escape.
Medical students did go to undergrad college, after all.Yea, but you gotta be living under a rock to not know who Bob Marley is.
It's #2 on my list of sportsBaseball kind of sucks these days, but not that bad.Would've had MLB in top 15 if I knew they qualified.
That's where the extra research comes in handy. I associate MLB with Seattle and TT with Bahston, so probably wouldn't have even been on my radar.Had no idea Mother Love Bone, Til Tuesday or LCD Soundsystem were eligible.
I remember that video well.
This is my second straight pick (and there will be more) of songs that made an impact on me when I was watching MTV as a tween in the early '80s. Maybe this period is conjuring up strong memories because my son is a tween now.
What MTV played was this live version, and as soon as I saw Angus Young's guitar work at the beginning, I was all and remain so.
Foreshadowing!
Am I wrong to suggest that this sounds like a bluesier Jeff Buckley?
I put the Mdou Moctar song on the playlist, too, though OH listens to him a ton
It was a strong day for mainstream Canadian rockers who got MTV airplay in the '80s.I think I know fewer than 10 of today's selections.
Of those I know, my shout-outs go to my main girl crush, Aimee Mann, with "Voices Carry," and awesome throw-back picks "Fantasy" by Aldo Nova and "On The Loose" by Saga.
Another friend won the talent show by singing to "Stray Cat Strut". I think he used a cassette
I liked this too!
Those of you who peace out if a song doesn't grab you within 15 seconds: Don't do that on this one. It gets really good at the 3-minute mark.
It used to be my #1, but now it's #1994 on my list.It's #2 on my list of sportsBaseball kind of sucks these days, but not that bad.Would've had MLB in top 15 if I knew they qualified.
How do we pronounce that?shortly after ( ) came out.

It's subtly different, but the version at the end of Vanilla Sky sounds a bit better to me. And it fits the scene perfectly...Untitled #4 was one of the first non-obvious songs I thought of for my list. I had a borderline religious experience listening to it shortly after ( ) came out. The lady I was with at the time bought the album and played it a bunch. During one particular listen of this tune I got that "oceanic feeling" that Freud talks about. Maybe it was an acid flashback. Whatever, it's held a special place since. I don't listen to a lot of Sigur Rós but I return to this album every now and again.
I have no idea. It's the only album I'm familiar with so it's just "the Sigur Rós album" in my world.How do we pronounce that?shortly after ( ) came out.
I'm known as the guy who likes long songs. Eephus is known as the guy who hates long songs.
Eephus' song today is more than twice as long as my song today.
Just sayin'.
Never saw Vanilla Sky and had no idea it was featured in the movie. Huh.It's subtly different, but the version at the end of Vanilla Sky sounds a bit better to me.

I have not listened to him before, and am enjoying the stuff here. I’ve got some Bombino in my library, but that is all for Tuareg music — going to have to fix that.Was not expecting a Mdou Moctar run. Glad to see he's getting some love.
Possible. He’s one artist who as a teacher I can always fall back on to play for the kids. Black or White, kids tend to like his music and know of him.I feel confident that at least one or more of my kids would have no clue who he is.
It's a personal favorite. The third act could be tighter & shorter but it sticks the landing. The whole soundtrack is good. I considered a couple other songs from it for this countdown.Never saw Vanilla Sky and had no idea it was featured in the movie.

They did. That song was tailored for '80s radio/MTV play.I always thought Krokus sounded faster/heavier than that.

I didnt go through their catalog, just chose the first one I liked. A friend in high school was obsessed by them though. Said they rocked lol. Once I saw Malta on their birth lists, knew I had a country ticked off. Just a matter of finding a song.I always thought Krokus sounded faster/heavier than that. I didn't realize they sounded like Y&T. Pretty good.
Mdou Moctar definitely has more votes to come. At least one anyway lol.
Thirded. New to me but yea this is really good.I liked this too!

I think Krokus' best-known song (EDIT: in the U.S.) was a cover -- and a dam good one. Don't want to spotlight further. I remember it being on one of those K-Tel-type compilation records in the 1980s.I didnt go through their catalog, just chose the first one I liked.

Oh, I guess I do know this Guess Who song. It's nice. I spent my childhood thinking that "Guess Who" were just some alternate band name for "The Who." But I was dumb kid, like AAABatteries's.
