C90: 1 Song you really must hear

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Here's a little game.
Think of the one song you think everyone should be forced to listen to (it has to be one you like - no sadists on this thread please). It doesn't have to be your favourite song ever (although it can be)... Just say the name of one track you like right now. No more no less.

I'm going to submit... oooh... I dunno... I'll go for "Pilot" by the Notwist.

Now your turn.

Bixio-Frizzi-Tempera, "Nucleo Antirapina". It's some music from a late '70s Italian Dirty Harry-wannabe cop flick and it's a strange but alluring bit of post-punk/Krautrock/disco/trance.

Sexual Harrassment- 'If I Gave You a Party'

― Brian, Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's a toss-up between Strawberry Alarm Clock's 'Tomorrow' (a personal fave) and Move Over Darling, as I think it could (possibly) be scientifically proved to be one of the best songs ever recorded (after I Only Have Eyes For You).

Decomposed Subsonic - Part Of The Machine
The charmingly schizoid singer from Coloma gets all raggedy as he sings/chants about being a piece of computer hardwiring over this massive fuck-off kickdrum and evil bass that's like slow-gabba. Then it winds down to a stop. And then it starts up again. Brilliant. (and Tom said microhouse was prissy!)

i'm guessing you haven't heard "useless" then? it is head and shoulders above 99% of their excellent catalogue, which is some feat.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Saturday, 16 August 2003 02:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I have the 'Useless' 7" and very lovely it is too, but it's not a patch on '(the) weight', which features the most poignant use of backwards vocals and sub bass on an indie rock song, ever.
