Top 3 tracks of this decade.

[boing!]

Off the top of my head:

The National -Slow Show
Burial - Archangel
Beyonce - Crazy In Love

 

[Wintermute]

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

maybe i was making a comment on the meaningless of the exercise or maybe i was just being wacky or something, i forget what i was thinking at the time. i do like both those songs though.

I'm just no good at getting these internet jokes.

I am however like yourself a very late comer to Major Lazer, after thinking it was a really cool new discovery I had just made. .

it was just a normal joke not an internet joke.

I have ODed on them today. I think I might hate them now.

 

[rutabowa]

yeah by the time the record arrived in the post i was sick of it, i've only play it 0.5 times

 

[belboid]

by the time I get home, i'd undoubtedly change my mind again, but, for now....

Shellac - Prayer to God
SFA - Show Your Hands
Drive By Truckers - Let There be Rock

 

[Fruitloop]

Off the top of my head:

The National -Slow Show
Burial - Archangel
Beyonce - Crazy In Love

Good list.

 

[Voley]

1. Queens Of The Stone Age - Feel Good Hit Of The Summer
2. Radiohead - Pyramid Song
3. Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head

All at the beginning of the decade. There's not much around now that I like tbh.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

God knows ... my top 3 tracks right now are:

1. Jeffrey Lewis - Whistle Past The Grave Yard
2. Drumsound and Simon 'Bassline' Smith - Mafia VIP
3. Organized Konfusion - Stress

 

[spanglechick]

The Killers - Mr Brightside
Scissor Sisters - filthy/gorgeous
Johnny Boy - You were the generation that bought more shoes

 

[stavros]

I'm not sure I can say they're my top three, but the following sum up the decade from my perspective;

Missy Elliott - "Get UR Freak On"
Girls Aloud - "No Good Advice"
Squarepusher - "My Red Hot Car"

I think what's key to these three is that they opened my young ears to whole new subgenres.

 

[boing!]

Squarepusher - "My Red Hot Car"

I'd be tempted to stick that in my list as well. Pretty much single handedly started my love affair with electronic music at the beginning of the decade.

 

[speed-it-up]

nice.


Agreed. That's the only tune I have heard this decade that I just had to buy as soon as possible after hearing Giles Peterson play it on the radio. Every breakdown is superb

 

[speed-it-up]

(re Falling Up)

[Maggot]

As this decade is nearly over, What are your favourite tracks from it?


Off the top of my head I think:

1) White Stripes - 7 Nation Army
2) David Byrne and Xpress2 - Lazy
3) Garbriella Cilme - Sweet about Me.

Jarvis Cocker agrees with me about 7 Nation Army.

 

[ska invita]

Havnt we done this already? I have anyway

Elephant Man - BadMan Forward Badman Pull up! (Global Riddim)
All-time fav bashment track! So glad I stumbled over this... One I come back to when I need a pick me up. Put a smile on my face many a time.


Sun People - Alpha Omega (Nubian Mindz Remix)
-Absolutely killer new-school, i guess broken beat, track. Ground breaking and ahead of its time.

Dreamworld:

 

[pboi]

another vote for Reflekt feat Deline - Need to be loved/feel love whatever

 

[soulfulofsoul]

Right now, off the top of my head I'd pick:
Booka shade - night falls

Louis Austen - Hoping

Modest Mouse - float on

These are juse a few bigtime faves for me. If it was about capturing the times then I can think of plenty more and a lot are more mainstream. Like:
Who's afraid of detroit, The rat (the walkmen), Night (benga and coki), Midnight Request Line, Wake up (arcade fire), Everything in it's right place, Young Folks...

Better stop, I could go on forever...

 

[ohmyliver]

just three?

johnny boy: You Are The Generation That Bought More Shoes And You Get What You Deserve


Skream: Midnight Request Line


and there has been far too many good tracks to pick the final track...

 

[dylans]

Hurt . Johnny Cash

 

[SpookyFrank]

Theo Parrish - Falling Up (Carl Craig remix) (2005)

Wow, that's 8 minutes and 26 seconds I'll never get back

 

[Ted Striker]

Pop vote: Madonna - Hung Up/Kylie - Love at First Sight/Madonna - Get Together
Indie vote: Killers - Mr Brightside/Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out/2 Razorlight songs which I'm scared to mention
House vote: Octave One - Blackwater/Angie Stone - Wish I Didn't Miss You (Pound Boys Stoneface Bootleg mix)/Paul Woolford - Erotic Discourse

 

[Spandex]

Octave One - Blackwater

For some reason, in my head I remember hearing that loads in the 90s, but I checked and you're right; it was released in 2000.

Absolutely awesome tune. Tho' I prefer the string instrumental version to the vocal one.

Wow, that's 8 minutes and 26 seconds I'll never get back

To be fair I listened to your choices and now I've lost almost 7 minutes of my life listening to your Elbow and Dionysos tunes, so we're almost even

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Edited to change Lost Art of... for super chron and put the youtube links in.

Sorry queens, but super chron are that bit more innovative than you

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Off the top of my head...

OOh, I think my choice would be Guy Fawkes.

Tunes being the operative word though

I find petty arguments over differing tastes in music boring, so I'm gonna be positive: I thought I'd hate the SFA tune you posted, but it's quite good

Something for everyone in there isn't there?

e2a: And I'm changing one of my picks anyway. Oh wait, I can't edit my original post any more

 

[kained&able]

The King blues- music man would be in there fuck knows about the rest.
