Best LCD Soundsystem Songs

[shermanoaksyo]

Top 3 win.

[fikus222]

Will there be beer?

[cormaic]

I voted for all of them

[cormaic]

PS why isn't 'Yeah' on this list

[rage patton]

While I could vote for all of them, I have to give my love to Dance Yrself Clean.

[shermanoaksyo]

Yes, there will be beer. We will meet in Williamsburg and drink PBR.

[shermanoaksyo]

PS why isn't 'Yeah' on this list

The same reason Get Innocuous or North American Scum or Home or I Can Change isn't on it. Max. 10 options and I tried to weight it equally across albums, impossible

[boarderwoozel3]

Tribulations & Yeah

Fail.

[shermanoaksyo]

Tribulations & Yeah

Fail.

+1

What would you take out

[boarderwoozel3]

Never as tired & ... either Pow Pow or Dance Yrself Clean

Not that there's anything wrong with them.

[Mucho Maas]

"Yeah" would get my vote too.
But I'm really into the new album, so I'll go with "POW!"
Damn, I'm excited for these shows in June

[TomAz]

You people need to pay more attention. Us v Them is a great song.

[cansei de ser sexme]

I wish they would never play New York I Love You live ever again, especially at Coachella. I mean dance-able time was wasted listening to it each time they've played.

[Radiohead]

"New York, I Love You..." is an excellent song, but I'm not sure how I feel about it as a set-closer. Why couldn't they close their Coachella set with "Daft Punk is Playing at My House"?

bc James wants to highlight the fact he's the new lou reed

[humanoid]

is that what he is?

[BlackSwan]

All My Friends and Someone Great deserve to be ahead of the pack.

[psycobetabuckdown]

You people need to pay more attention. Us v Them is a great song.

+1, favorite off album

[TallGuyCM]

All My Friends and Someone Great deserve to be ahead of the pack.

Yep. Someone Great by a good margin in my book.

[shermanoaksyo]

is that what he is?

i think i used the word 'fact' a little casually back there

Us vs Them in 4th!

[Boourns]

North American Scum, definitely.

[Starraven]

killing it with close inspection --words to live by!

[Undies]

Whaaaaaa??? No 'Yeah'???

[cuauhtemoc723]

Whaaaaaa??? No 'Yeah'???

seriously! the (crass) version. it was their best song at this years' coachella.

[minogueCOMMAk]

To me the most powerful song is All My Friends.
My favorite song to dance to is 'Yeah'.

[isnate]

I'd have Tribulations, Yeah (crass), and Home. Take out Pow Pow, Never as Tired, and One Touch.

p.s. thread resurrection ftw!

Lyrics to Losing My Edge :

Yeah, I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge.
The kids are coming up from behind.
I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge to the kids from France and from London.
But I was there.

I was there in 1968.
I was there at the first Can show in Cologne.
I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge to the kids whose footsteps I hear when they get on the decks.
I'm losing my edge to the Internet seekers who can tell me every member of every good group from 1962 to 1978.
I'm losing my edge.

To all the kids in Tokyo and Berlin.
I'm losing my edge to the art-school Brooklynites in little jackets and borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered eighties.

But I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge, but I was there.
I was there.
But I was there.

I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge.
I can hear the footsteps every night on the decks.
But I was there.
I was there in 1974 at the first Suicide practices in a loft in New York City.
I was working on the organ sounds with much patience.
I was there when Captain Beefheart started up his first band.
I told him, "Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime."
I was there.
I was the first guy playing Daft Punk to the rock kids.
I played it at CBGB's.
Everybody thought I was crazy.
We all know.
I was there.
I was there.
I've never been wrong.

I used to work in the record store.
I had everything before anyone.
I was there in the Paradise Garage DJ booth with Larry Levan.
I was there in Jamaica during the great sound clashes.
I woke up naked on the beach in Ibiza in 1988.

But I'm losing my edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent.
And they're actually really, really nice.

I'm losing my edge.

I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagra record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit - 1985, '86, '87. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good '60s cut and another box set from the '70s.

I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record.

I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.
I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars.

I hear everybody that you know is more relevant than everybody that I know.

But have you seen my records? This Heat, Pere Ubu, Outsiders, Nation of Ulysses, Mars, The Trojans, The Black Dice, Todd Terry, the Germs, Section 25, Althea and Donna, Sexual Harrassment, a-ha, Pere Ubu, Dorothy Ashby, PIL, the Fania All-Stars, the Bar-Kays, the Human League, the Normal, Lou Reed, Scott Walker, Monks, Niagra,

Joy Division, Lower 48, the Association, Sun Ra,
Scientists, Royal Trux, 10cc,

Eric B. and Rakim, Index, Basic Channel, Soulsonic Force ("just hit me"!), Juan Atkins, David Axelrod, Electric Prunes, Gil! Scott! Heron!, the Slits, Faust, Mantronix, Pharaoh Sanders and the Fire Engines, the Swans, the Soft Cell, the Sonics, the Sonics, the Sonics, the Sonics.

You don't know what you really want. (x15)

[ods..]

I voted for Losing My Edge. But I would have voted for Yeah.

[Hawkings]

I voted for Someone Great n All My Friends, but , Losing My Edge is kinda biographical for anyone with more than a few hundred posts on the boards

[Poor Yorick]

"All My Friends", "North American Scum", "Home".
