It was a tough decision, Amy. I was listening to Charmless Man and Country House and She's So High over and over again, but in the end, I decided to go with some cult classics like Oily Water, Trimm Trabb, a post-Coxon masterpiece like Out of Time, and Coxon-at-his-Finest with You're So Great.

And I refuse to add Song 2.

Apologies for not including anything off of Leisure. I don't know what my problem is.

[chairmenmeow47]

argh, i had this all typed up and then it went away :(

this is a list i'd recommend to a newbie. i think it's a good representation of their dance stuff and their more ballad stuff.

the cure


boys don't cry
from the edge of the deep green sea
forest
in between days
just like heaven
killing an arab
let's go to bed
plainsong
pictures of you
the 13th (swing radio mix)


i ended up trading just like heaven for lullaby, as it probably belongs on this list more and i didn't want half of disinitgration on here, lol.

But no "There's No Other Way????" How can you not add that? Best song ever, and it introduced me to the band back in the day on MTV. I nearly peed myself watching that video.

The real question is how did I forget about Leisure at all? Blur just can't be buckled down to ten songs is the issue here.

[SFChrissy]

Hey hey don't break the rules!!!
It's the whole CD so does that mean I have to eliminate a few...Damn cuz that cd is great from start to finish...every song perfectly weaves into the next!!!

yup, if i were a radio listening person and my friend gave me an SP album because I never heard of them to try to win me over......i would say my list would win in enticing me to explore their catalog further. its all about putting the most accessible in these lists.

hmmm i dont see the lists as that. especially with the pumpkins, its why going to their shows is often a bad experience. people just know the 4 minute singles and dont get the 20-30 minute epic songs corgan goes off on.

your right that someone that never had heard them is going to like yours more, but i think mine is going to give them a better scope of what the band actually is like.

[Cdubby]

your list definitely gives a broader scope thats for sure. i would just like someone who doesn't know about the pumpkins to like something, anything at first in an attempt to get them to explore the catalog further. thats why i bombard my lists with singles and songs that i find catchy rather than their "best" work. and i like your list but they are mostly (all?) songs i discovered on my own after watching the today video on mtv endlessly in my youth.

edit- i need to go back to studying for finals, peaceeeeeee

10) Black Capricorn Day

This was a hard list for me. Because this group has been around for over 15 years now. They're one of those "huge in Europe and the rest of the world groups", but they're a one-hit wonder here. "Virtual Insanity" of course made the list, because that's the song (and of course on of the coolest videos ever) that got me into them. "Canned Heat", the Vote-for-Pedro dance song in Napolean Dynamite, just missed the cut.

Now... I'm fully ready for the pending flaming. Oh yes. One more thing-

It's good...But I'm making a best of in hopes of enticing people.

[bmack86]

yours is more towards that I'd say, but I still think For Reverend Green would grab tons of people. That song is just damn amazing.

[kitt kat]

It is, and it was my favorite on SJ for a long time. Now, it annoys me a tad. I think #1 and Derek are far superior songs that achieve the same effect in a shorter amount of time. A lot of non AC fans think their stuff goes on for too long and gets a bit jammy. So, with the shorter songs supplemented, problem solved.

Memphis Bells off AONO huh? That's an odd choice. I'd prolly go Wake Up Call or The Way It Is. I'd probably drop Minefields too and add One Love or Everybody In The Place.

like I said man, there are so many to go for. I wanted to throw in Spitfire, No Good, Full Throttle, Funky Shit, Wind It Up, Their Law, and Jericho. and more too, but limiting to 10 is tricky.

The Way It Is is definitely an interesting choice. It'd definitely have to be the live mix with the Thriller samples; that stuff is gold :)

Festival was so close to making the list, but saegouplur just barely beat it. Trust me - if it was out of 11 songs, Festival would have been number 11. I also wanted to throw in Untitled 7 and Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása, but limiting to 10 is just so damn hard.

Mmm. I see what you're saying, but you're completely wrong. From the self-titled album onwards, the songs "VU" (and I put that in quotes for a reason that will appear later) created were a regression into the standard popish rock that the band courted in its earliest incarnations. (I'm talking the ones with Reed, Cale, De Maria, etc.) Those albums were far less collaborative---more so than, say VU/Nico, WL/WH, which, although dominated by Reed, did allow for Cale to experiment with arrangements and such; after WL/WH, Cale was a thing of the past. The 1969-onward period of the Velvets can just be interpreted as a nascent Reed-solo period. Time only proved that the rest of the band was disposable---as was the band's new direction. By the early 70s, Moe Tucker remained the only original band member still performing under the moniker of VU.

Now, I'm not claiming I don't appreciate the later stuff; I do. I find it less inspired than the band's more experimental stage. But do I write it off completely? No. I do feel, however, if we're putting together a list of VU's "best", wouldn't it be best to choose songs from when the band was at their hightest creative point? I feel---and as much as I love the VU, it's hard to say this---their creative energy completely dies off post-WL/WH, and this was undoubtedly due to Cale's departure from the band. Without Cale, the band was simply an ordinary American rock band.

Just my two cents.

That would be The Empty Page. Or Rain on Tin. Or Disconnection Notice. Or Stones. Or Pattern Recognition.

I uh... I didn't think it would really be doing this band justice to just upload the recorded versions, so with the exception of Cars & Telephones, they're all rips of radio or TV recordings, mainly from the Olympia in Paris or the Enmore in Australia.

The eleventh file is an acoustic version of Woodlands National Anthem that didn't make the ten, but is still awesome and I couldn't bring myself to cut it.

That recording of Antichrist Television Blues is especially fucking earth shattering, by the way.

i seriously do like those cooking with menik vids alot...now your Arcade Fire recommendation...I dont think i can trust you very much, you are missing Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)...and that is by far their best song as a band...

[iv3rdawG]

I did mine for Sigur Rós. A lot of these probably changed since I saw them live but I started out with 20 and had an extremely difficult time cutting it to 10 but here it is:

Svefn-g-englar
Festival
Sæglópur
Untitled 2 (Fyrsta)
Untitled 3 (Samskeyti)
Untitled 4 (Njósnavélin)
Untitled 5 (Alafoss)
Untitled 6 (E-Bow)
Untitled 7 (Dauðalagið)
Untitled 8 (Popplagið)

:p

Just missed the cut: Glósóli and Gong. Also, I probably could have just thrown in Untitled 1 (Vaka) but something else needed to go in. I could probably take a few of the Untitled songs out and put in Starálfur or something like that, but I find ( ) to easily be my favorite album by them with every track being super solid.

And MissingPerson, what type of files are those? The only one that seemed to work in Itunes was Power Out

[MissingPerson]

Damn, they should all be MP3s...

I use VLC though, which will play fucking anything, so I've no idea if there's something wierd happening the file. Anybody else get them running?

[pancakespancakes]

Sonic Youth

1. Death Valley '69
2. Expressway To Yr Skull
3. Schizophrenia
4. Teen-Age Riot
5. Trilogy
6. Titanium Expose
7. Sugar Kane
8. The Diamond Sea (maybe; alt. Washing Machine would be "No Queen Blues")
9. Sunday
10. Incinerate

This list would look a lot different if I weren't trying to be fair and balanced and cover their whole career. I'm really unfamiliar with their post 2000 stuff too, so if there's a better choice than "Incinerate," I'd be open to it.

This is the best one I've read on here. Perfect.
I might want to add The Sprawl or Cross the Breeze, but that's kinda overdoing the DN.

And the funny thing is, Incinerate is definitely the best song they've done in the last five years, in my personal opinion. I think it is a classic. I'll never forget seeing them do it at Coachella. It really made me a fan of it since then.



Focus on Murray Street. It's definitely one of their best albums. Sonic Youth meets Television.

No kidding! It is such an incredible album. Thank you.

[pancakespancakes]

Alright, pretty sure it hasn't been done yet.

Can (Damo period only)(listen in order):
1. Paperhouse
2. Vitamin C
3. Mushroom
4. Future Days
5. Pinch
6. Sing Swan Song
7. Spray
8. Oh Yeah
9. I'm So Green
10. Halleluwah


I'm really proud of myself over Future Days -> Pinch. Mmmmm good.

[SoulDischarge]

I can't hate on that. But Mother Sky should find its way in there.

[betao]

I did mine for Sigur Rós. A lot of these probably changed since I saw them live but I started out with 20 and had an extremely difficult time cutting it to 10 but here it is:

Svefn-g-englar
Festival
Sæglópur
Untitled 2 (Fyrsta)
Untitled 3 (Samskeyti)
Untitled 4 (Njósnavélin)
Untitled 5 (Alafoss)
Untitled 6 (E-Bow)
Untitled 7 (Dauðalagið)
Untitled 8 (Popplagið)

:p

Just missed the cut: Glósóli and Gong. Also, I probably could have just thrown in Untitled 1 (Vaka) but something else needed to go in. I could probably take a few of the Untitled songs out and put in Starálfur or something like that, but I find ( ) to easily be my favorite album by them with every track being super solid.

any Sigur Ros "best of" has to include Ara Batur. That is arguably the best song they've ever done.

Gonshman - I think it was just a labelling problem, I had to rename all the files and I must have knocked off the extension in the process. Either tag on a .mp3 to the title of each, or just download 'em again, I've relabelled them all so they should work.

I intentionally left every track from "London Calling" off of my Clash list because of course you cannot intentionally leave any track from "London Calling" off of a Clash best-of thing.It's a classic parodoxical dichotomy type thing...

Oh you're damn right, Crown of Love. Partly because I think it's kind of an easy one for newcomers to take to, and partly because I'm a sentimental fool and there are few things as cute as awkward nerdy love.

Booourns, Black Wave?

I don't think this has been done, but, uh, regardless...

6. Rubber Ring
7. The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
8. I Know It's Over
9. Sheila Take A Bow
10. Death of a Disco Dancer

[Boourns]

No "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" or "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me? :(

[chairmenmeow47]

"Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me? :(

it's probably the excessively long intro that kept it off, lol.

i can't believe sheila take a bow would make the list though, blah.

[PassiveTheory]

One of my long-time friends who I got to like the Smiths always tells me that Shiela Take A Bow is her favorite. I mean, you just can't fucking resist the T. Rex homage, man...

I took "There Is A Light" off for "Rubber Ring". I mean, otherwise, fuck it. Might as well just give them the Singles comp and be done with it.

[amyzzz]

You like some weird Smiths songs.

[PassiveTheory]

Really? I think it's pretty cookie-cutter until you get halfway down the list.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

No "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" or "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me? :(

And no Girlfriend in a Coma?

[chairmenmeow47]

And no Girlfriend in a Coma?

ya know, this probably isn't the place for it and i apologize, but i find that song hilarious. while i'm probably completely wrong, i've always thought it comes off to me as a guy who's talking to his friend whose girlfriend he can't stand is in a coma "i know, i know, it's serious..." until a friend told me he didn't see it that way at all. totally ruined the song for me, lol. it was so much better funny...

[PassiveTheory]

No Girlfriend in a Coma. Probably the worst Smiths single ever released. Hell, I'd pick Shakespeare's Sister over that song, if given the gamut.

It's not a bad song, it's just not a staple, IMO. I'd be disappointed to hear it chosen to be played live over, I don't know, 10 or 15 other songs I'd rather hear.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Don't you hate it when that happens? You think you have a song all figured out, and then the band will actually say what it's about, and you've read too much into and just feel stupid?

Cause I get that all the time.

[amyzzz]

I like your way of looking at Girlfriend in a Coma, Ivy. It always seemed a bit off to me, and Moz is definitely the type of singer/lyricist who could pull that off (or at least try to pull that off).

[chairmenmeow47]

totally. ben by michael jackson is a great example of this. when i was a pre-teen or something, i fucking loved that song. then i was watching VH1 or something and found out it was about a rat and was so pissed off i literally couldn't listen to the song for years. singers should just shut their mouths when they aren't singing, lol.

Hahaha. That's a great example.

There's too many for me to list.

[betao]

I think people need to rethink their lists through a bit. It's not "your 10 favorite songs" by a certain group, its "the group's 10 best songs", songs that showcase them at their best. These could be different groups. For example, my favorite Radiohead song is Subterranean Homesick Alien, but I don't know if I'd put that in my list for their best work.

i've excluded jackson 5 and his work as a child though, as i'm really just not as familiar with the catalog. and while the video for thriller is awesome, i'm not a huge fan of the song itself anymore.

i tried to do that with my cure list, though not my michael jackson list. i would have included catch on my cure list, but i know not many people new to the band are gonna go WOW when they hear it.

*high five* for hand in glove... OHHHHHHHH, I REALLY DON'T KNOW AND I REALLY DON'T CA-A-AAAAAAAARE!

[amyzzz]

Well, I think "What She Said" should be somewhere on a Smiths list. Not a single but a very powerful song nonetheless.

[PassiveTheory]

Props for "Stop Me". I like that song a lot, but I feel like "Death of a Disco Dancer" shows the weird-ass side of the Smiths enough to give it a spot on my list. "Stop Me" should have been an awesome single, but it just wasn't in the cards.

EDIT: amy, I love "What She Said" a ton. It's be a natural fit on any compilation. For some reason it works really well as a natural precursor into "William, It Was Really Nothing". Take that for what you will.

Honestly, it was Mark Ronsons remix (or whatever you want to call it) that got me back into Stop Me. Great song and melody

I'm Lee, and that Mark Ronson remix is largely why I hate his guts. It took the heart out of the song... For me at least. Glad it at least got you to like the original.

Ahh, too bad. That was the only song I liked on his album, incidentally. Although now that I've re-examined the original, I agree Ronsons doesn't hold up at all.

Uh oh. I thought maybe I hadn't been listening to the right stuff, but these are the 5 Interpol songs with which I am most familiar, and I am still of the opinion that the band is vastly overrated...

Also, here's my top 10 for LCD Soundsystem. I know they don't have much material but I love close to all of it, so it's still a difficult list to make for me.

1. All My Friends
2. Someone Great
3. Get Innocuous!

5. Tribulations
6. Us v. Them
7. On Repeat

2. Beat Connection
3. Tribulations
4. Too Much Love
5. Get Innocuous
6. North American Scum
7. All My Friends
8. Us Vs. Them
9. Someone Great (although I'm torn between this and Sound Of Silver, I know this is the better song)
10. Freak Out/Starry Eyes (the biggest monster groove in their catalog so far)

[SoulDischarge]

Buzzcocks
1. Orgasm Addict (Howard Devoto version)
2. Ever Fallen In Love
3. Sixteen
4. What Do I Get
5. Harmony In My Head

9. I Believe
10. Something's Gone Wrong Again

That's fucking difficult. You could take 10 songs off Singles Going Steady or ten album tracks and they'd both be amazing.

[JSam67]

I like your LCD list, Patrick. Beat Connection was the one that just got left off my list at #11. Off-topic, are you potentially hitting the Roo in 09?

[SoulDischarge]

And because I can't sleep and for the hell of it, Butthole Surfers:

1. Concubine
2. Something
3. Bar-B-Que Pope
4. Human Cannonball
5. Perry
6. Flame Grape
7. I Saw An X-Ray Of A Girl Passing Gas
8. Moving To Florida
9. The Colored FBI Guy
10. 22 Going On 23

Yeah. I'm pretty much confirmed. I made my first payment 2 weeks ago or so.

That's good to hear, should be a blast. Also, I love seeing the word Concubine, which makes me think of Beck going buck wild like a concubine...Hmm, ok, here's my top 10 for Beck:

1. Mixed Bizness
2. The New Pollution
3. Debra
4. The Golden Age
5. Sexx Laws
6. Paper Tiger
7. Devil's Haircut
8. Que Onda Guero
9. Tropicalia
10. Chemtrails (this blew my mind live, so it gets the nod just ahead of Volcano)

Wow. I guess I like Midnite Vultures.

[coldstart]

What about Loser? :P

While I agree that Sexx Laws is good enough to merit two entries, Beck has way too big a discography for you to get away with that.

Beck (prior to Sea Change, none of the hits, unpopular favorites)
1. Pink Noise
2. Schmoozer
3. Lampshade
4. Steve Threw Up
5. MTV Makes Me Want To Smoke Crack
6. Fucking With My Head
7. Cyanide Breath Mint
8. Readymade
9. Cold Brains
10. Debra

Lampshade is the best Beck song no one's heard, and it's on YouTube

I was getting a little nostalgic and thinking about putting it on my list, but I could count on two fingers how many times I've listened to Loser this year, and they were both live. It just doesn't quite hold up for me anymore compared to the rest of his masterful work. :/

However, it was pretty sweet when he opened with it night one in Chicago.

Haha thanks for catching that, Patrick. It has now made room for a Mutations entry, which makes me feel better about the list anyway.

edit: Still bored at work...here's my Smashing Pumpkins list:

1. Mayonaise
2. Rhinoceros
3. Geek USA
4. Hummer
5. Rocket
6. 1979
7. Today
8. Porcelina of the Vast Oceans
9. Crush
10. Soma

I was thinking about this today! The sexy bluesy guitar masturbation he did as the Loser-intro on night two was pretty spectacular as well


Uh oh. I thought maybe I hadn't been listening to the right stuff, but these are the 5 Interpol songs with which I am most familiar, and I am still of the opinion that the band is vastly overrated...

Chut Up! YOU'RE vastly overrated

YES! Excellent, though "Window Paine", "Whir", and "Luna" would make my list.

[bmack86]

Patrick, your Butthole Surfers mix doesn't have Freak in the Cellar. Why?

[bmack86]

Fugazi:

1.Waiting Room (duh)
2.Returning the Screws
3.Blueprint
4.Do you Like Me
5.Furniture
6.Merchandise
7.Cashout
8.Give Me the Cure
9.Arpeggiator
10.The Argument

Repeat this list ad nauseum, with different ten songs, because Fugazi rarely, if ever, drop the ball.

[bmack86]

Some interesting TH choices in Paper, Girlfriend is Better and Pulled Up.

I'd have a problem with doing them because I'd want to include all of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th albums.

[thatfinkleygirl]

paper was the first talking heads song i ever heard, and i just really enjoy girlfriend is better and pulled up for whatever reason.

[menikmati]

not that anyone on this board cares really but deftones -

1. damone
2. lovers
3. bloody cape
4. around the fur
5. hexagram
6. lhabia
7. back to school
8. when girls telephone boys
9. feiticeria
10. rx queen
I like the Deftones via White Pony and before.

[clumsy342]

Queens of the Stone Age

again order is important for me, and i think this would be a good rep for a noob of QotSA

1. River in the Road
2. Feel Good Hit of the Summer
3. Sick Sick Sick
4. 3's & 7's
5. Monsters in the Parasol
6. Someone's in the Wolf
7. Burn the Witch
8. No One Knows
9. Little Sister
10. Go With the Flow

For a noob, maybe...
But for a fan... yuck.. I'd make a list.. But I have to go get beer now.
Maybe I'll post it later.
p.s.
... Sick, Sick, Sick... Really??

[bmack86]

That doesnt have Leg of Lamb or The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret.

[mountmccabe]

Repeat this list ad nauseum, with different ten songs, because Fugazi rarely, if ever, drop the ball.

Hahaha.

I was gonna say, no "Smallpox Champion"? No "Rend It"? No "Long Distance Runner"? Etc.

[mountmccabe]

Not the 1st?

Also, confession: I have not heard the 2nd or the 5th :(

[bmack86]

I would include most of the 1st, but, despite the fact that I can't choose it, i feel like it's one song too long. Maybe two.

[thatfinkleygirl]

10. Chemtrails (this blew my mind live, so it gets the nod just ahead of Volcano)

Wow. I guess I like Midnite Vultures.

i'm not so crazy about midnite vultures, but sexx laws is a fantastic song. i'm surprised you're the first to include it.

gahhh, i'm trying to make a list for beck but it's so damn difficult! i've finally got it down to ten but it's still way too odelay-heavy.

[JSam67]

I just love the funky, Prince-ish Beck, Midnite is my go-to album for him, but I didn't realize quite how much I liked it until making my list. Nicotine & Gravy came close to making it on mine, too.

finkley, I'm still a little surprised at the lack of inclusion of Once in a Lifetime on your TH list...
