30 Summer Songs Every Man Should Listen To (new article in Esquire) POLL

Article? More like listicle.

no songs abt rape, no credibility

This looks like some guy who gets a bunch of PR mp3s just put his iPod on random.

I have no idea what demographic Esquire is going for these days, and neither does Esquire, apparently.

Voted the Teddybears/Flaming Lips song because I was high on it LAST YEAR.

lol

is Funky Donkey off of Hot Sauce Committee Pt 2 or whatever it's called? I listened to some of that over the weekend, and it sounded surprisingly tolerable!

Yeah, it's a good record. I like it, anyway.

yeah I might ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out

i don't think i've heard any of these

guess that just about nullifies my penis then

i'm not sure if that's a typo or if there is (plz plz) an act out there called dale earnhardt jr jr but that got my vote. either way it's the only thing up there that doesn't scream 'kcrw' to me.

This feels like a good old school lol at the square mainstream rock critics thread. I approve

DEJrJr played at the Ferndale DIY Fair that I went to last year, but I didn't go see them bcz I thought they were 'chillwave'...

"I smoke doobies with groupies whose breasts smell like blue cheese and sushi"

You're welcome to 'em.

Voted Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.

(OK, 20.)

^^^^^^^^ OTM

I haven't heard most of these but as long as these lists aren't condescending I don't give a crap.

Does Beastie Boys - Funky Donkey sound anything like the Ant and Dec song "Wonky Donkey" ?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Why did they put Funky Donkey on the list. The should have put on "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win"

have not heard a single one.

Can we have a Creedence 'Chronicle' vs. this list poll pls?

I've always wanted to tell someone what I think about esquire's music articles and thanks to ILM I can finally have my 2 cents heard.

I think it sucks and I am offended by esquire trying to guide people in the right direction regarding music. They're no better then pitchfork but they should know better relying on one writer's opinion on coming up with the music you should have. I suggest that esquire avoids these types of music articles all together.

Thanks for listening

I'm not sure if I've heard any of these though

Not a one

bcz of this thread, I listened to 3 of them (Classified, DEJrJr, Beasties)--they were all unremittingly awful.

I've heard

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Belong
Death Cab For Cutie - Underneath the Sycamore
Jessica Lea Mayfield - Blue Skies Again
tUnE-yArDs - You Yes You

I guess of those, I'll go with the tUnE-yArDs. (The other three are decent but nowhere near the best on the album they're from. Actually, I don't really remember the Death Cab song.)

one of the reasons why i think GQ > esquire is bcuz of how boring/unadventurous the latter's music tastes are

yeah makes sense that Pains & Yards wd be the best bet on here...

I haven't read GQ or Esquire in a zillion years other than the occasional link I see to some article or whatever. I just thought the name of this list was ridiculous, as the songs are neither summery nor overtly masculine in any way.

I'll rep again for the Teddybears/Flaming Lips collabo, but that's because I'm either not in love with or haven't heard the other 29 presented.

maybe these songs are good, idk, but fuck this "how to be a man" meme these mags are always pounding

The Pains of Being Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

about :35 and "Crystal Meth Christian" is not unremittingly awful

about :35 in etc...

Worst summer ever.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I don't follow Esquire or most of these bands, but I was surprised to find that the first track on the Portugal The Man album (on a major label) is pretty decent Glam-Bowie-lite. Not as thrilled by the track Esquire liked. It's not at all a bad record though, and has hints of promise that will probably never get fulfilled...
