Wow I think this might just be the worst list you guys have done? Not saying that the band has any bad songs but, come on, No "Apartment Story"? One song from Alligator? Nothing from Sad Songs? After reading entries 10 and 9 I was half-convinced that the band's rendition of "The Rains of Castamere" was going to end up being #1.
I'd probably put Gimme Fiction at third but otherwise this list is decent, if a bit more of a no-brainer than usual. Moonlight and Ga Ga are pretty interchangeable for first as far as I'm concerned.
They're great, consistent songwriters and they put on a hell of a show. Fuckin sucks that that registers as "bland" nowadays. Also Matt Berninger is pretty much the best frontman in the game atm.
Fantastic. There's a lot of nice things to be said about how well this list was put together but I'll just that it's clear that a lot of love went into it. I don't necessarily agree with where everything is ranked but it looks pretty decent and you even managed to get the top five right, if not necessarily in the right order.
This is a fucking tough one. I can only separate the Stones' albums into tiers, that look something like this.
1. Beggars Banquet / Let It Bleed / Sticky Fingers / Exile on Main Street
2. Aftermath / Between the Buttons / Flowers / Some Girls
3. Out of Our Heads / December's Children / Satanic Majesty
4. Everything Else
Nothing wrong with having a moral code and sticking to it. Morrissey is definitely a jerk and has some questionable racial attitudes but the demonization of his commitment to his ethics is fucking stupid, tbh.
Yeah, I found this record to be painfully boring the first time I listened to it. Decided to try it again with headphones though and now I can definitely say I think it's a pretty nice little album.
One of the worst write ups on anything I've ever seen on this site.
and let's hope Wolf has more to offer than this. "Bimmer" is okay but "Domo 23" is like "Rella" but ten times worse.
Yeah, kinda ridiculous that Meaty Beaty's not on here. This is a good list, though; all I'd change would be switching the positions of Quad and Who's Next. Though I don't think anyone would complain if you put Live at Leeds at #1 either.
The "Don't you like to have fun?" argument has gotten way too old. Just because you don't like peppy classic rock rewrites about hanging with your buds doesn't mean you "don't like fun." There is more than one way to have fun; what's fun for one person isn't necessarily fun for another. Personally, the most fun listening experience I've had so far this year was with Four Tet's new "0181" release, and that bears a closer resemblance to fucking Burial than it does to this thing.
1. Queen
2. S/T
3. Meat
4. Strangeways
Pretty cut and dry. Still not entirely sure where I'd place Bombs, but needless to say it'd be towards the top, if not #1.
Not feelin' Grizzly Bear at #3. Bad Girls, Oblivion, Gangnam Style and Pyramids would've been a flawless top 4 (although come on, we all know PSY deserves that top spot). Disappointed everyone seems to have forgotten about Chairlift's great "Met Before" video too.
My top 5 would probably include
Hammersmith Palais
Bankrobber
Armagideon Time
The Magnificent Seven
Straight to Hell
Sandinista! is probably my favorite Clash album, though I'd admit that London Calling is more perfect. This is an... interesting list to say the least.
