"pieces of me" and "thong song" are legit great (also, i thought we as a society were past the whole shameful ashlee-as-figure-of-fun phase?). i don't know how either could crop up when talking about the worst of anything. "friday" is highly entertaining. "mambo no 5" was annoying but it's based on a good tune. "who let the dogs out?" is actively hateful.

("pieces of me" is not really anything like ashlee's best, though, or even the best off her debut album)

Acid Mothers Sheeple (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 1 April 2011 22:01 (fourteen years ago)

the shins can eat a fat dick

fleet foxes are harmless & boring, their best song though, i guess?

animal collective are great, their most overrated song

feist is harmless, shitty song tho

can't remember how the bon iver goes, think i played that song once but forgot how it goes

AC over fleet foxes, shins in last

hey ilxor, thanks for contributing, glad you stopped by (ilxor), Friday, 1 April 2011 22:04 (fourteen years ago)

I vote for "Boogie in your butt"

San Te, Friday, 1 April 2011 22:04 (fourteen years ago)

i like all of these songs

1. skinny love (classic)
2. white winter hymnal (still the best FF song)
3. new slang (not nearly my favorite shins song tho)
4. 1234 (great song, prob my second favorite off that album)
5. my girls (i'd take 'brothersport')

"1, 2, 3, 4" is guilty pleasure territory for me, nice song

sarraghmaclachlan (some dude), Saturday, 2 April 2011 05:13 (fourteen years ago)

only other one i can hum is "New Slang," which is garbage, and i also heard "White Winter Hymnal" at some point and promptly forgot it

sarraghmaclachlan (some dude), Saturday, 2 April 2011 05:15 (fourteen years ago)

I can't hum any of these but anco

Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 2 April 2011 06:34 (fourteen years ago)

I remember the melody of the first half of 1234, but then I just start singing the coolio version

Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 2 April 2011 06:35 (fourteen years ago)

gonna gonna get up
get clowned

Godspeed HOOS! Black Steendriver (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Saturday, 2 April 2011 06:50 (fourteen years ago)

i seriously always turn off that fleet foxes record about a minute into 'white winter hymnal'

Godspeed HOOS! Black Steendriver (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Saturday, 2 April 2011 06:50 (fourteen years ago)

Does anyone else lurk here and only vote on the occasional poll just to screw with the results? I've only heard "New Slang" "My Girls" and "Skinny Love". "My Girls" is played out almost as bad as AC themselves, and between "New Slang" and "Skinny Love" the Bon Iver tune is the obvious winner, clearly due to my own sentimental reasons. I'm not going to listen to the other two songs I haven't heard because I suspect they are pure hipster kitsch.

viborg, Saturday, 2 April 2011 07:23 (fourteen years ago)

I still like New Slang despite overexposure, Natalie Portman, and the rapidly nosediving legacy of The Shins trying to ruin it for me.

After that, Skinny Love > 1,2,3,4 >>>> My Girls >>>>>>>>> White Winter Hymnal

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 2 April 2011 07:26 (fourteen years ago)

i will...................... vote later

teledyldonix, Saturday, 2 April 2011 07:37 (fourteen years ago)

Trying to remember how Coolio's 1234 goes just makes me start singing The Beatles' "All Together Now".

MarkoP, Monday, 4 April 2011 15:12 (fourteen years ago)

Coolio version? is there a mashup called "Feistastic Voyage" or something?
