Oh yeah, and I picked the boring and obvious pick. The same as the lurkers will....

Yeh, but there's a reason for that ...

"Lithium" is best for ruining everyone else's evening at a gay karaoke bar.

― Dr Morbius, Sunday, 21 June 2009 20:37 (fifteen years ago)

evanescence's "lithium" would probably be better for that, no?

― more tang than an astronaut (bug), Sunday, 21 June 2009 20:38 (fifteen years ago)

Voted Eric Stoltz.

― Eastürzendes Annoybaten (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 21 June 2009 20:41 (fifteen years ago)

Lithium.

When I die young in a blaze of glory my mum will play it at my funeral and remember me as a maudlin teenager.

Territorial Pissings, because the opening sounds still make me go "yay, Hüsker Dü!" after all this time. For some reason I can remember where I was when I first heard the album and this is the exact same thing I thought way back then too.

"On a Plain"

My friend's band does this song. It's so awesome. There's room for as much enthusiasm as you want to put in.

― nicky lo-fi, Monday, 22 June 2009 02:51 (fifteen years ago)

haven't listened to this in ... decades probably. only one i couldn't remember without googling the lyrics was lounge act. i'm gonna stick it on right now.

― ledge, Monday, 22 June 2009 08:39 (fifteen years ago)

IN BLOOM!

Because just as you think "can anything follow "Smells like teen spirit", the drum intro KICKS in, and oh yessican.

― Mark G, Monday, 22 June 2009 08:42 (fifteen years ago)

First listen in decades slipped down easily. Almost too easily. Sounded like something more than a historical curio but less than a timeless classic. Of course headphones in office is different from blasting on the speakers at 11pm amidst a load of half empty vodka bottles and crushed beer cans.

voted lithium btw, miserablism dies hard.

― ledge, Monday, 22 June 2009 09:27 (fifteen years ago)

I listened to this last night, as a result of this thread, it really does feel oddly quaint now. Kneejerk reaction was to go for Teen Spirit but the real shivers down the spine moment was the opening of Lithium, so went for that.

― Matt DC, Monday, 22 June 2009 09:30 (fifteen years ago)

I'm glad other people are saying Lounge Act, I loved this album when I was like 14, and that's always been my favourite.

I mean, this album was definitetly a gateway drug for me, and Drain You is a great exit point onto other things.

Breed possibly comes second though for the incredible guitar texture and general momentum
