This is amazing. And I never really dove into NIN either, aside from a few listens of With Teeth and that dystopian-concept one.

But yeah, this fucking kills.

I like angry Kanye, but a big part of me still misses the lightness of the first couple albums.

Of course I’ve heard and jammed to “Around the World,” “Da Funk,” “Harder Better Faster Stronger,” “One More Time,” and the like, but I’ve never listened to Discovery all the way through, and I’ve never really spent much time listening to Daft Punk’s discography. They just weren’t my thing as much as other things.

But you can’t just say that, objectively, this album is bad. People have opinions, and it may bother you that people like the album when you don’t, but the fact is that music is subjective. I think Random Access Memories is a fantastic album, I can’t stop listening to it, and I could write a lot about the musical merit that I think it has. But that doesn’t mean that I’m “right.” It doesn’t mean that the album is definitely good and others are stupid to not see it. And that’s the same reasoning that says that you can’t tell me I’m wrong to like this album for whatever bullshit reasons you come up with.

Sorry, man. I mean really.

I’m with you on “fuck the hype.” Seriously, the lead single was the most disco thing ever. Did people really expect another Discovery after hearing “Get Lucky?”

I think seeing it performed live really made it, ahem, come alive for me. Now I love it.

Tuesday was the first I’ve heard of this band, and now after hearing this song twice, I think I may buy their album.

Seriously? “Four Winds” is brilliant.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never given Congratulations a proper listen, but this is pretty great and I think it would fit in pretty well on the first album, which is also pretty great.

I would also have included a couple more songs from Alligator and maybe another from Boxer, but I definitely agree with your top 3. “Bloodbuzz Ohio” is the song I play for anyone who accuses The National of being too sleepy. It’s one of those songs that lets you look at things from a widescreen lens.

Girls Can Tell is a great title too.

“Withered Hope,” from The Else, is my favorite song of theirs. I recognize that it’s a deeper cut, but still. It’s hilarious and catchy, TMBG’s two best traits.

I can’t speak for frenchparadox, but my one source of internets is a Chromebook, on which you cannot install iTunes. :(

I’m very inclined to fawn over everything Yorke and Radiohead do, but that Bowie video was really terrific, so yeah.
