Bjork, radiohead, smashing pumpkins and oasis

The Once-ler, Thursday, 17 December 2015 02:46 (nine years ago)

No McAlmont and Butler, but here's Spotify '95:

Fetty Wap Is Strong In Here (cryptosicko), Thursday, 17 December 2015 04:49 (nine years ago)

A much better list than the '94 one, imo. Lose "Don't Speak" and the Oasis tracks, and this'd be a decent road trip mix.

Fetty Wap Is Strong In Here (cryptosicko), Thursday, 17 December 2015 04:50 (nine years ago)

Hyper-Ballad

EZ Snappin, Thursday, 17 December 2015 04:54 (nine years ago)

Lots of good stuff, but...ugh, Take That? Ugh.

Half tempted to vote for the Bucketheads track. Not the best but damn good and I fear it'll be overlooked.

THE SECOND MOST POPULAR GAME THAT WE PLAYED AS CHILDREN......IS HOUSE!

boring alt-reality reverend (The Reverend), Thursday, 17 December 2015 07:13 (nine years ago)

Either Born Slippy or Da Funk.

Missing.

Bummed that the vote will be split between the three Pumpkins singles. Have to vote for 1979.

flappy bird, Thursday, 17 December 2015 16:42 (nine years ago)

1 41 Pulp - Common People
2 112 Underworld - Born Slippy
10 672 Everything But the Girl - Missing (Todd Terry Remix)
12 797 Björk - Hyper-Ballad
14 1116 The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight

^ Oh god, one of these.

Turrican, Thursday, 17 December 2015 21:06 (nine years ago)

An embarrassment of riches. Anything but "Down by the Water."

Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 17 December 2015 21:10 (nine years ago)

such a strange song to single out. take it you aren't a PJ Harvey fan?

Bee OK, Friday, 18 December 2015 01:39 (nine years ago)

The biggest non-Take That head scratcher is 'Don't Speak'. My response song: 'Good Advice'.

Some Pizza Grudge From Twenty Years Ago (Old Lunch), Friday, 18 December 2015 02:09 (nine years ago)

Morissette, easy. Best megahit of the era.

Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 18 December 2015 02:16 (nine years ago)

10 I'll always keep on my iPod:

Pulp - Common People
Underworld - Born Slippy
The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees
Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know
Björk - Hyper-Ballad
The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight
Björk - Army of Me
Radiohead - High and Dry
The Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet with Butterfly Wings

"Fake Plastic Trees" got my vote, btw. I know, I'm sick of Radiohead winning all of these too, but "Common People" is gonna take this one anyway.

Fetty Wap Is Strong In Here (cryptosicko), Friday, 18 December 2015 03:26 (nine years ago)

"I'll Be There for You/You're All I Need to Get By," quite surprisingly, doesn't sound that exciting to me anymore. Maybe something to do with coming to love the Marvin/Tammi song in the 20 years since?

Fetty Wap Is Strong In Here (cryptosicko), Friday, 18 December 2015 03:29 (nine years ago)

These sounds

lute bro (brimstead), Friday, 18 December 2015 03:31 (nine years ago)

This is between Underworld and Elliott Smith, two acts which will probably never be mentioned in the same breath under any other circumstances.

Tom Violence, Friday, 18 December 2015 05:04 (nine years ago)

I assume Common People is one of those songs you really had to "be there" to get

miss me belial (crüt), Friday, 18 December 2015 06:06 (nine years ago)

so plodding and self-important and meaningless, unlike Bullet With Butterfly Wings.

miss me belial (crüt), Friday, 18 December 2015 06:13 (nine years ago)

had to be there for six minutes, in fact

mookieproof, Friday, 18 December 2015 06:14 (nine years ago)

I sure wasn't there, but it's one of the best songs I ever heard

1 through 20 is fantastic, feels like the strongest year I've seen in these polls

niels, Friday, 18 December 2015 18:02 (nine years ago)

all of these are great:

1 41 Pulp - Common People

you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Friday, 18 December 2015 18:04 (nine years ago)

There are some really great songs on here but there's no way i'm not voting for common people.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Friday, 18 December 2015 18:39 (nine years ago)

Black Steel

Mister, would you please help my brony? (WilliamC), Friday, 18 December 2015 18:46 (nine years ago)

I... might vote for "Insomnia"? This is surprising me, too

you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Friday, 18 December 2015 18:47 (nine years ago)

think this might actually be Stupid Girl

roughest.contoured.silks (imago), Friday, 18 December 2015 18:49 (nine years ago)

wow rude

mookieproof, Friday, 18 December 2015 18:50 (nine years ago)

I think 40 choice might be much, too many good choices. Voting "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" just over "Disco 2000," "1979," "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova."

the future is now, Saturday, 19 December 2015 00:05 (nine years ago)

Choices and choices.

the future is now, Saturday, 19 December 2015 00:07 (nine years ago)

black steel

Dr X O'Skeleton, Saturday, 19 December 2015 00:11 (nine years ago)

disco 2000

iatee, Saturday, 19 December 2015 00:20 (nine years ago)

after i was quite dismissive of the list, my gf asked if i had heard these songs

we discovered that in fact i had not heard, amongst others, 'california love', 'you oughta know' or 'don't speak'

remember ilx, i didn't have a real childhood

'you oughta know' is so good i'm considering voting for it, although 'stupid girl' is still favourite

roughest.contoured.silks (imago), Saturday, 19 December 2015 02:16 (nine years ago)

ban lj; add his gf

mookieproof, Saturday, 19 December 2015 02:20 (nine years ago)

The Bomb

Lionel Richie the Wardrobe (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 19 December 2015 09:13 (nine years ago)

probably going with
5 312 Daft Punk - Da Funk
or
6 394 Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees

niels, Saturday, 19 December 2015 13:10 (nine years ago)

FYI you may have voted for something other than "The Bomb" but please remember that you are physically objectively wrong.

boring alt-reality reverend (The Reverend), Saturday, 19 December 2015 13:22 (nine years ago)

it certainly is a good song, didn't know it by name before this poll

niels, Saturday, 19 December 2015 13:45 (nine years ago)

ahaha i didn't know its name either, wow!

maura, Saturday, 19 December 2015 18:38 (nine years ago)

lute bro (brimstead), Saturday, 19 December 2015 23:29 (nine years ago)

These sounds, iirc

lute bro (brimstead), Saturday, 19 December 2015 23:29 (nine years ago)

it's good if not great but not Song of the Year material.

Bee OK, Sunday, 20 December 2015 02:27 (nine years ago)

boring alt-reality reverend (The Reverend), Sunday, 20 December 2015 02:47 (nine years ago)

Shook Ones, Pt. 2

easy one

billstevejim, Sunday, 20 December 2015 20:57 (nine years ago)

Black Steel - loved it so much on The Word with the old dudes session guys.

kraudive, Sunday, 20 December 2015 23:20 (nine years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Luckily this still lets me vote for Todd Terry!

etc, Monday, 21 December 2015 05:02 (nine years ago)

true

boring alt-reality reverend (The Reverend), Monday, 21 December 2015 07:44 (nine years ago)

I just can't decide between Da Funk and Shook Ones Pt 2, so I'm not voting

paolo, Monday, 21 December 2015 11:29 (nine years ago)

Ended up voting for Common People.

Bee OK, Monday, 21 December 2015 18:38 (nine years ago)

So many great songs here. Still think "Common People" will walk this.

Futuristic Bow Wow (thewufs), Monday, 21 December 2015 18:54 (nine years ago)

Hyperballad, c'mon.

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Monday, 21 December 2015 23:14 (nine years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Tuesday, 22 December 2015 00:01 (nine years ago)

I guess I can accept Pulp tying with "Hyperballad" (voted for the latter, always thought the former was good but puzzlingly overrated). Don't know if I'm familiar with the Mobb Deep track. Glad that my second-placers ("The Bomb" and "Born Slippy") did okay. Surprised "And I'm A Shoe" placed as high as it did.

Some Pizza Grudge From Twenty Years Ago (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 22 December 2015 00:06 (nine years ago)

I picked Tonight, Tonight although 1979 is more influential and nostalgic

The Once-ler, Tuesday, 22 December 2015 00:14 (nine years ago)

If smashing pumpkins = america, and pulp = england, then I'm glad I'm American

The Once-ler, Tuesday, 22 December 2015 00:16 (nine years ago)

I didn't vote for either of them, but "Common People" and "Hyperballad" are by far my favourite tracks to win in the 90s polls thus far.

Bitch I'm in the 2112 (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 22 December 2015 00:28 (nine years ago)

4 271 The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 8
14 1116 The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight 2

This is quite funny considering that one of these songs is one of the best songs Billy Corgan has ever written, and the other song is '1979'

Turrican, Tuesday, 22 December 2015 00:57 (nine years ago)

Pulp fucking sucks

flappy bird, Wednesday, 23 December 2015 18:48 (nine years ago)

Not too familiar with their stuff apart from Different Class but that album has some pretty great singles

niels, Wednesday, 23 December 2015 18:56 (nine years ago)

His'n'Hers, Different Class, This Is Hardcore and We Love Life are all very good-to-great records.

Turrican, Wednesday, 23 December 2015 19:14 (nine years ago)
