small axe hands down

There's like 5 or 6 I could vote for and justify, but I went with Feels Good. This song is like a perpetual motion machine, it sort of has an effortless bounce that is so clean and smooth it could just keep going to infinity. I mean, you look at the video, and hear the beats and music and vox, everything is fueling itself, it is 100% efficient. I wouldn't say it's the ~best~ or even ~my favorite~-- those songs by Heaven 17, Superchunk, Dorsey, Beasties, and S-K songs all hit pretty huge for me, bigger than TTT at the time, but Feels Good is a supernatural concoction.

Big New Prinz might just be my favourite Fall single.

sick bed is one of my favorite songs ever

sick bed was/is a huge fave of mine-- if anything it suffers slightly from the massive quantity and quiddity of that era of pogues songs.

i am so fall-weak, i don't know if i know that one brb, ha.

Iron Sledge is one of my faves and that live version rules.

Now They'll Sleep by Belly. One of the great unheard 90s songs.

I like all of them obviously but going to post only this one because it’s words to live by. Written and produced by Allen Toussaint, with the Meters as the studio band.

Couldn’t vote in the prior polls because it was too hard to choose, but this is easy: small axe

That March Violets song is unknown and excellent.

― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Thursday, 17 July 2025 00:38 (four months ago)

I love it! A goth classic. Also, the video is wild, topless dancers and all. Can't imagine where they imagined it would be shown.
