Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven

Hadn't actually ever heard this song until about 2 days ago. >.>

Cocteau Twins - The Itchy Glowbo Blow

You'd think a song with -this- title couldn't be haunting and intensely atmospheric within a short lifespan. You'd be sorely mistaken.

You are missing absolutely fucking nothing.

Cage The Elephant - In One Ear

It's okay, though the lead singer doesn't work for me.

Amy Winehouse - Rehab.

What? For fucks sake Super. Stop failing. If you haven't heard Stairway to Heaven then it means you have missed out on a lot of really amazing Led Zeppelin songs like Immigrant Song and Gallow's Pole.

Ehhh, Robert Plant's BABYBABYBABY wailing got real tiresome after a while. You named some of the better ones, Gref, but for the most part their catalogue's something I'd rather not hear again.

Immigrant Song of course is awesome just for being unintentionally hilarious.

B-side?

Eurythmics - English Summer

Listened to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Murder Ballads (entire CD) while I was getting ready for work. Needless to say, the subject matter was fitting.

Cocteau Twins - Seekers That Are Lovers

Milk and Kisses may not be the best offering the Twins have, but it -does- present the best ending songs as far as I know. Treasure Hiding and Seekers That Are Lovers make great album enders.

Divinyls - Elsie

God -dammit-, Grefter.

Grefter · « **Reply #39 on:** January 09, 2011, 12:55:33 AM »

And you complained that they weren't dreamy pop music.

Metric - Rock Me Now.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #40 on:** January 09, 2011, 01:08:59 AM »

That's not the kind of dream pop music I meant!

Divinyls - Victoria

It -is- excellent pop, at least.

Blue Oyster Cult: Godzilla

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #42 on:** January 09, 2011, 03:43:36 AM »

Divinyls - Back to the Wall

God -dammit-, Grefter. This is setting my hipster transformation back at least six months.

Grefter · « **Reply #43 on:** January 09, 2011, 04:12:58 AM »

The Long Blondes - Erin O'Connor.

Anyway it was this stuff that reminded me of the DiVinyls and that you might like it. They definitely share that sexually aggressive female lead element to them which is delightful.

Little Dragon - Looking Glass.

David Bowie: Something in the Air

I think I got some weird bootleg version of Hours or something. The tracklist on the CD case lists twelve songs. Two of them are The Pretty Things Are Going to Hell. Neither of these are in the place they actually play on the CD. Actually, everything on the tracklist is completely out of order compared to what plays on the CD. There are no liner notes of any kind. There are fifteen tracks on the CD (five seem like remixes). But it has Something in the Air, so I won't complain.

Grefter · « **Reply #46 on:** January 09, 2011, 09:29:55 PM »

Not aware of a version of Hours that has 15 tracks. An album can only be improved by having more Pretty Things are Going to Hell though.

David Bowie - Cygnet Committee

Divinyls - I Touch Myself

It had to happen some time. It's telling that this song is one of their worse entries in the world of new wave pop, though.

EDIT: Goddammit, Grefter, that's another six months pushed back on the Hipster Doomsday clock.

Grefter · « **Reply #48 on:** January 10, 2011, 01:30:22 AM »

Eh? I honestly consider that song really damned good. It is a case where the one hit wonder actually was worth the hype it gets. Even to this day it is one of the most openly frank songs about anything ever.

Little Dragon - Blinking Pigs.

This is the next one to get Snow. Edit - I think she was better live though honestly, her singing worked really well a bit more raw than the studio tracks. She was support for Gorillaz for anyone that cares.

I agree there. Just I'm very, very impressed by the band's pop acumen in both Desperate and Temperamental. Divynils is less impressive, although I Touch Myself is the best track in the album so far.
