OT: Watcha Listenin' To? Part VIII: All I Wanted was a Pepsi

[VladDrag]

Can someone give me a synopsis of what list is going on here?

It’s so weird how that (along Is This It) is the album cover I most associate with early 2000s NYC. The woman on the left is Leigh Lezark, who was one of the people behind a super trendy DJ act in the Village.

Have you ever read "Meet Me In The Bathroom"? I read it a few years ago and liked it a lot. It made me really like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs even more than I already did.

It’s begun and it’s already a journey

Found it

There's a documentary of that out done in the past few years I think. Saw part of it.

I haven't because someone (not famous in any way) I dated for ~5 years was interviewed for it. I don't even know if she made the book, but I don't want to go down that road ever again.

Had no idea that the cover had a somebody. The album is regarded by most as their best album, they did a 10 year anniversary tour for it.

Well.......I am now up to knowing 1/2 of the groups and singers since this morning songs.

It looks like in the 11th hour this morning, WXPN will be playing the Go-Gos, one of my favs of all time.

Who remembers on 93.3/ 94.1 FM playing in the mid 70s their version of greatest hits of all time, and it was ALWAYS Stairway to Heaven???? I am sure in North America any FM station around that time proclaimed the same.

I remember MMR doing their greatest album tournament and it was Pink Floyd vs. Pink Floyd at the end, and Preston said it would be from the start.

And there it is. Dancing on my Own is my #4 at #205

Getting some songs this hour or so that I didn't expect to hear yet.

boygenius getting some recency bias.

 

[Rebels57]

Nice to see Courtney Barnett on there for a 2nd time. Her first album is incredible.

 

[GKJ]

Gonna start picking up on Carole King and the Tapestry album now.

That's been my moms favorite album since I was a kid.

There's been far too much Joni Mitchell. Am I the only one that feels like she is incredibly overrated?

It's definitely more than I need, I just know she's highly revered by the audience. You go back to her time, there wasn't a lot of women who weren't in soul/R&B or radio machinations.

They are good, though. Like @Rebels57 said about Phoebe Bridgers' solo stuff, all the songs are too same-same and slow/quiet.

You are not. Hippies suck. Go weave a parka and eat your granola, Joni.

There were plenty of women in Motown, though, more than enough to keep us from listening to songs about f***ing taxis.

I think I've heard this in movies and ads. Finally stumbled on the source today

I see Aimee Mann checked in at 203 with the second most famous song that was inexplicably written about the love life of a dorky Canadian comedian. Sadly the most famous still awaits us.

Just had Cloudbusting into Human Behaviour

They should change their name from boygenius to sadgirlmusic. I don't understand why they are so morose. Their all young, talented, relatively attractive, and rich. Show us through your songs that you're at least enjoying some aspect of your life.

It’s not that I disagree with everyone’s tastes because she’s not for me. But I always looked at not being able to appreciate Joni Mitchell as my biggest personal musical failing. She’s one of the best lyricists ever.

Not liking her and not thinking she’s talented can’t be the same discussion. I loathe everything Stevie Nicks as ever done, but I know she’s talented.

She can certainly write, but her voice isn't very pleasant and her arrangements annoy me. I'm glad i'm not the only one at least.

My #7 song comes off the board at #160. It's "These Are Days" by 10,000 Maniacs



Holy Shit, "Wonder" by Natalie Merchant is #159

I was glad I was in the car for those. Both amazing songs.

I think that is why Fleetwood Mac worked so well. You had the gravel of Stevie, Lindsay the middle voice and then the songbird of Christie.

Wait did we lose auto merge or did it just get shortened in time before it kicks in.

NOPE IT'S STILL THERE... F&*K
