I only got into Jack's Mannequin a couple of years ago but it quickly became a favourite. Just pure melodic endorphin rush pop rock. My little...
Honestly I just very rarely get as stoked for an EP as I do a full length as well
I think Come Down is absolute gold.
A fine choice, I presently am tossing up between a few. Current top 4: Just Like Heaven I Know It's Over (not one of The Smiths' most popular but...
Agreed, when my fav songs of the 80s list is finalised it will be very high up. Presently number 14 between The Message and Downtown Train.
I'd never given this band a shot but heard Funeral Home on JJJ and am listening to the full length now, really good stuff for those looking for...
I definitely have the original, will check that out, thanks
Liking the Broken Glowsticks song a lot just not sure why it isn't a TDS song
Tim is actually my favourite of the Mats' albums, but my CD copy sounds really flat. It's okay for several of the songs but has always bugged me...
Been working on a favourite songs of the 80s playlist and so far allowing 5tracks per artist. Think a lot of this band's most popular songs are...
Found these guys via Stereogum and album rips so far, awesome stuff
Agreed, a couple of tracks on there I'm kinda 'eh' on but then the bridge hits and bam song is great
I'm Alive is stuck in my head all the time. Nowhere near their best work but as a single it's a great choice. I actually think that if the last...
Loving the Scotts' podcast so far, only just up to Stop Making Sense. I think this one might be way more informative than the U2 and REM ones,...
Liked Fuck Them All okay. Really love Come Down. I saw AJ tweet that he thought Come Down would be successful and it's not been the case. Unsure...
A band I've always liked but never loved. I want their albums to give me that passionate, shout along from the heart type feeling -- especially...
Say Yes is his best song and that is a big reason why. So simple yet those intricacies make it work to perfection.
I always liked Waltz #2 but listened to it differently since learning he was inspired by the propulsive chords of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. You...
I do like when it seemingly out of nowhere just gets glitchy and techy. Like if I was listening on CD I'd have thought it skipped for a second...
I listened to it for the first time in ages yesterday, still really like the first half and then second half is hit-or-miss for me. Definitely a...
I have a strange appreciation for Elliot Smith in that I think Either/Or is absolutely phenomenal and yet none of his other albums do anything for...
This is a geniune accomplishment. Surprised you'd never heard several of these, but especially Neutral Milk Hotel. What did you think? I don't see...
If you want to hear just one song: Waiting Room One whole album: Repeater After this you will have the basic idea and can decide if you want to go...
I don't know a lot about North America but was in LA when this album came out. There was a huge push for it. The cover was plastered all over...
Agree 100% I felt the same way when looking through my CD collection and making my list. Just have to accept people have been fed white male...
