Cool list, at least about 17 tracks I love.

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 26 August 2023 02:07 (one year ago)

Undiu 100x, so beautiful

H.P, Saturday, 26 August 2023 02:09 (one year ago)

Sunrain!

faust sofa (Matt #2), Saturday, 26 August 2023 02:10 (one year ago)

Yeah at least 20 I love and 2 that are also on my list.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 26 August 2023 02:11 (one year ago)

I am contractually obligated to vote for the best Gang Of Four song

out-of-print LaserDisc edition (sleeve), Saturday, 26 August 2023 02:15 (one year ago)

Isaac Hayes. Hearing that for the first time was equivalent to when I heard Zeppelin’s “When the Levee Breaks.” A monumental statement.

WesternÂź with Bacon Flavor, Saturday, 26 August 2023 02:18 (one year ago)

Manuel Göttsching “E2-E4” is cheating imo

mookieproof, Saturday, 26 August 2023 02:39 (one year ago)

"I Want Your Love" all time for me, esp. that longer version on the Soup For One soundtrack.

sry that came off as catty, i meant for it to be playful

oatly carmichael (m bison), Saturday, 26 August 2023 02:49 (one year ago)

brb starting a poll of my favorite tracks over 40 minutes

out-of-print LaserDisc edition (sleeve), Saturday, 26 August 2023 02:52 (one year ago)

i realized after i was finding the yts for this playlist that like half of this list is tracks over 6 minutes, i appreciate artists who ~take me there~

oatly carmichael (m bison), Saturday, 26 August 2023 02:57 (one year ago)

I can think of many over 20 mins but not one over 40 mins

✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 26 August 2023 02:59 (one year ago)

I mean I guess e2-e4 is a 40+ track

✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 26 August 2023 02:59 (one year ago)

also, loving that ppl are vibing with so many different tracks already, makes me feel one with the ilx cosmos

oatly carmichael (m bison), Saturday, 26 August 2023 03:00 (one year ago)

i've got my eye on u 🩬

mookieproof, Saturday, 26 August 2023 03:11 (one year ago)

its not hard, i am a large creature and lack natural hiding skills

oatly carmichael (m bison), Saturday, 26 August 2023 03:15 (one year ago)

Oh this one’s quite fun. Ramble Tamble!

IKE vs CCR

Toshirƍ Nofune (The Seventh ILXorai), Saturday, 26 August 2023 10:07 (one year ago)

where is “roundball rock”?

is he disgruntled adrian? (voodoo chili), Saturday, 26 August 2023 13:12 (one year ago)

“Unravel” is such a beautiful and simple song. The best björk lyrics thread a line between childlike naivety contrasting with profound wisdom. The idea that love unattended falls apart (or rather gets stolen by the devil) but it can and should be reconstructed is simple but deep.

But just realized this poll has “undo” and not “unravel” so idk what I’m doing.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 26 August 2023 14:49 (one year ago)

Anyways “Undo” does do the simple yet deep thing too. What could be a fortune cookie message to “accept the struggle and go with the flow” turns into a gorgeous thing when delivered through her voice.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 26 August 2023 14:56 (one year ago)

xp "Undo" and "Unravel" are her best songs!

Rain on Tin, a top ten SY tune

The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Saturday, 26 August 2023 18:39 (one year ago)

i v nearly put "schizophrenia" with honorable mention to "rain king" and "shadow of a doubt"

oatly carmichael (m bison), Saturday, 26 August 2023 18:52 (one year ago)

ooh yeah you are speaking my Sonic Youth language there

out-of-print LaserDisc edition (sleeve), Saturday, 26 August 2023 18:58 (one year ago)

oatly carmichael (m bison), Saturday, 26 August 2023 20:06 (one year ago)

If that were true why is “we built this city” not on this list

✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 26 August 2023 20:26 (one year ago)

i do not spread misinformation, and starship did not in fact build this city, we rate their claim as "pants on fire"
