Enough with the fucking quibbling about LCD SOUNDSYSTEM'S placement on the P2K list, OK? Fuck.

Voted "All My Friends" (again).

me too

went with yeah
(pretentious mix)

45:33

that jpg is incredible

all my friends

beat connection

all my friends

whatever, just not losing my edge. really i think we can all agree that that is just silly.

I don't understand all this hatred for "Losing My Edge". The way that drum fill sometimes just happens. In 2002 DJs used it to get from Erase Errata into "Deceptacon". Remember? No?

only 1 i wouldnt vote is daft punk is playing at my house

"Losing My Edge" is great, but nowhere near the same league as the Sound of Silver material.

real tempted to vote someone great.

yeah (pretentious mix) for not having vocals

i don't think losing my edge is a bad song, but it is clearly at least four spots away from being a contender for the best song on this list.

someone great

beat connection

"Yeah" (all versions considered)

^^both of these are still mindblowing imo - "all my friends" is also a 10/10 classic - think the other ones are overrated in the lcd canon and "daft punk is playing at my house" is actively irritating at this point

yeah 'daft punk' is pretty awful imo -- only remembered because of the title, kind of abrasive track

"daft punk is playing at my house" is actively irritating at this point

otm, same with "North American Scum"

someone great

yeah (crass version). it's pretty hard to top that squelchy synth part at the end

Someone Great > Yeah > Losing my Edge > All my friends > Daft Punk is Playing at my House

^^^ yeah i guess i mostly agree with that ... would put beat connection either before or after 'yeah'

actually i might like 'all my friends' more than 'losing my edge'

i had no idea everyone hated "Daft Punk" now

you don't think that riff is grating?

Someone Great sans Murphy on 45:33 > Yeah > Beat Connection > Someone Great > Tribulations (Lindstrom Remix)> All My Friends > Tribulations > Daft Punk = North American Scum

Tribulations (Lindstrom Remix)

Never heard this. Going to LOLslsk right now.

YEAH

I'd forgotten all about that Lindstrom remix but i loved it when it came out. The vocal breakdown bit is fantastic.

"All My Friends" just sounds to me like U2 covering Joy Division.

cool

Only one of these actually made me stop in a record store and purchase the album it was on, so I'm voting for it; "Someone Great".

It's either "Yeah" or "Someone Great" although I think I like "New York..." more than either. "All My Friends" is shocking. Overall, LCDS is a band whose continual lionising frustrates me intensely, because there is nothing truly eye-opening for me anywhere in their catalogue, and yet they are seen as nigh-on leaders of the pack.

"daft punk is playing at my house" is actively irritating at this point

otm, same with "North American Scum"

ha, those are my two favorite lcd singles. i guess i like them when they're irritating.

"NAS" is great. "Daft Punk..." is not.

Nas is a great rapper but Daft Punk makes better beats.

I wish Nas was "NAS"

"daft punk," echt or echh? i think it sort of summarizes everything lcds does -- krautfunk groove, mock self-mythology, a hipster "party anthem" that transcends its scare quotes.

Yeah (stupid mix) > Beat Connection > Losing My Edge > Someone Great > 45:33 > Yr City's A Sucker > Yeah (pretentious mix) > Tribulations (Lindstrom Remix) > All My Friends > North American Scum > NY I Love You > other album songs > Daft Punk

"Sound of Silver."

For a while I made my own EP out of "Get Innocuous!", "North American Scum", "Someone Great", "Us vs Them" and "Sound of Silver" and then played it nonstop for about 5 months.

cuz you're North American.

Anyone catch that Marilyn Manson song on the new record that sounds like "North American Scum"? I DJ this shit out...

Check out "We're From America"

lol wow that's shameless. hope someone's played that for james murphy.

I hope someone played "North American Scum" for Pete Shelley

"well, orgy is playing at my house...my house"

xpost touche!

nothing truly eye-opening for me anywhere in their catalogue

what do you reckon to 45:33 and the Lindstrom Tribulations, LJ?

'daft punk is playing at my house' backlash seems pretty appropriate time-wise (these type of songs hit their nadir 5 years after they come out, no?)

I wouldn't be surprised if the song dates pretty well tho

this isnt a 'backlash' -- i never liked it & its actively abrasive, while their other stuff isnt. & that isnt backed up by 'north american scum' being ranked around there by ppl either, since that came out w/ sound of silver

okay, I believe that you actually dislike it. I don't believe that ILM as a whole always disliked it - and that's what one would garner from reading this thread.

haha I should look back in the archives to see if I did actually make any of the incredulous "wtf are you ppl hearing in this bullshit" posts that swirled around my head when "Daft Punk..." came out

i can understand people not liking "daft punk is playing," but i have more trouble understanding people liking lcd soundsystem and not liking that song, which seems so much exactly what they do. but i guess taste etc. (if i was gonna call anything on this list actively abrasive, it'd be "yeah" in any of its incarnations. but i like that one too.)

my love for 'losing my edge' is really bound up in its social context for me - it was such a huge club anthem back then. it's one of those key formative songs for a good proportion of my friends. i don't think i'd expect anyone coming to it new to get it.

crass version of 'yeah' for me (tho) tim is right about the lindstrøm mix of 'tribulations' - that's just HUGE. when it stops and the world spins on its axis a bit and then the 'i feel love' bassline comes in <3

and then the 'i feel love' bassline comes in <3

and then the 'i feel love' bassline comes in <3

and then the 'i feel love' bassline comes in <3

^ HUGE club anthem. It was a total hit single, a gift to DJs. I heard that song every night that entire summer.

i can understand people not liking "daft punk is playing," but i have more trouble understanding people liking lcd soundsystem and not liking that song, which seems so much exactly what they do.

I like them more when they do things like "Get Innocuous!" and "Something Great"; the only track of theirs in the "Daft Punk..." vein I really am gaga over is "North American Scum" ("Tribulations" leans harder into synth-burble territory than rock-dance-with-yelping territory for me).

ok, i can see that. i'd never quite as clearly divided their catalog that way, but it makes sense. i guess i just like the yelping more. i like "get innocuous" and "something great" and "all my friends" and all, but to me that's always been the second tier of their stuff.

("someone great," i mean)

ha well this is where I contradict myself because I really hate "All My Friends" and its bargain-basement New Order pasticheness

I love "All My Friends" and "Someone Great", but "Yeah" (Crass Version) is the one that really hits me. I'm not much into the lyrics, but the way the synth melody transforms from an off-beat pulse into something that sounds completely disorienting/hysterical is astonishing, and the drum solo at the end is completely over the top.

"north american scum"

I voted "Edge" in this poll because I love it a lot, but "Get Innocuous!" really is my favorite thing he's ever done.

"Yeah (Crass Version)" provided me with both my most transcendent concert experience (going apeshit at Randall's Island) and the only fun I've ever had on ecstasy (dancing like a fucking maniac by myself in my friend's mostly empty living room). It's also my favorite LCD song. So I vote for it.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
