Re: Quicklist: Best Songs of the 10's
since this is an impossibly hard task to pin just 10, here's an alternate list with no overlap:
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Jubilee Street (this might be the best song of the decade so far - the band and the song just fucking EXPLODE at the 4:40 mark... i still get chills thinking about seeing them play this live and this video delivers on what it felt like)
Golden Gunn - From A Lincoln Continental
Stephen Malkmus - Freeze The Saints
Om - State On Non-Return
Shellac - Dude Incredible
QOTSA - I Sat By The Ocean
Rangda - Night Porter
Kurt Vile and the Violators - Pretty Pimpin'
Sharon Van Etten - Serpents
Grouper - Alien Observer

Taking it down that road is a 3DD tradition. To properly passively-aggressively bust my balls, the year should be 2026.Iowan wrote:I guess we took it down that road.cortez the killer wrote:So, it’s your top 20 songs from 2010 - 2018?

Re: Quicklist: Best Songs of the 10's
While passive aggression is a Midwestern staple, I was being serious. Once you get to the years where I actually submitted 6 Packs, I expect a significant amount of revision on my end. Especially in the 90's.cortez the killer wrote:Taking it down that road is a 3DD tradition.

Re: Quicklist: Best Songs of the 10's
I don't know about best, but these are my favorites:
This song is vast. It contains multitudes.
I'm a sucker for a local hook.
It's hard to pick just one of hers. If there's one new artist that stands out from the decade so far for me, it's her.
There's probably better on this record, but this one is hard to get past.
This song is magic or crack or something. There are days I can't not sing it.
I just couldn't believe these guys.
Good call, Iowan!
This one is devastating in its simplicity.
[/quote]
I see scotto's been reading my mail.
I sing this one a lot, too. I also pretend the lame rap in the middle is in some foreign language I don't understand.
I just wish I could sing this one, but I'm too damn old to even do it ironically. The placement is a little unfair to the previous song.
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm getting soft.
Let's close this out with a real raver.

I doubt that these two tracks from Cracker's Berkeley to Bakersfield record would make many people's Best of the 10's, but they definitely make mine.

You don't expect a Gang of Four riff to break out during a Fleetwood Mac song.
