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

[GKJ]

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

Wish I got to see her in her prime.

Somehow she and they never ended up on a bill for a Feztival or Feastival I went to...

Was Y100 playing her solo? I suppose they were because I felt like I never stopped hearing Kind and Generous

 

[GKJ]

My third song off my list today. My #9 song, I'll Stand By You by the Pretenders is #153. Pretenders now are tied for the second most songs. And another double shot as it followed Message of Love.



3 songs to go from my list.

Carnival and Wonder had very much heavy rotation on Y100

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.

Which song? "You're With Stupid"? Is the most famous one "Man on the Moon"? I can't remember if Andy Kaufman was Canadian or not.

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.

This is the one broad area of life where you and I are completely incompatible and could get into a huge, violent argument if we let ourselves I don't mean about Joni Mitchell, I mean more broadly about being phlegmatic. I can hardly explain it without starting the argument

 

[GKJ]

Oh god yes, Maps was #151

 

[Rebels57]

And now, Joni Mitchell song number 20.

TWENTY!

That is maybe their sixth best song. "Talk of the Town" is probably my favorite, or "Message of Love," or "Middle of the Road."

"Everybody heardddddddddddddd ... it was the talk of the town." F***ing gorgeous.

One of their earlier more punky songs Tattooed Love Boys is my favorite. This song rips!

This song, if it were all up to me and everything was perfect in life, would want to be my wedding song.

Rebel Girl by Bikini Kill has arrived at 146

One of their earlier more punky songs Tattooed Love Boys is my favorite. This song rips!

I love the way her voice plays off the more poppy sounds of the ones I listed, plus "Don't Get Me Wrong," which is so sweet.

I'll tell you what else needs to be near the top.

Blondie rules.

This one has been on my "drive fast" playlist for a while.

Wish I got to see her in her prime.

Natalie Merchant? I saw her do a solo show at Constitution Hall in DC. She was fantastic.

She since lost her voice and has been needing surgeries. But is back to singing

My favorite Blondie song:

I don't remember exactly when I saw her, it was post-10,000 Maniacs. Some time in the '80s or '90s.

Which song? "You're With Stupid"? Is the most famous one "Man on the Moon"? I can't remember if Andy Kaufman was Canadian or not.

Believe it or not, apparently "Save Me" was written for this guy as he was going through one of the nastier divorces in recent history:

Don't get me wrong, I love Kids in the Hall as much as the next guy, but I spent a solid year listening to that song over and over again and never once did I imagine Dave Foley had anything to do with it.

The most famous song is the worst song of all time, and it was written by our least favorite female singer-songwriter on the planet about this freaking guy:

Also, I just realized I could have gone farther with that, i.e. dorky Canadian comedians named Dave.

Edit: Oh, are the gifs still not giffing. Well, ok then.

Ah, you're definitely into the 90's. Too bad they never came back together.

 

[Rebels57]

Joni Mitchell song #21!

 

[Jack Straw]

Ah, you're definitely into the 90's. Too bad they never came back together.

Yeah, most likely. According to this listing of her past shows, the only one at that venue without 10000 Maniacs was in 1996.

Natalie Merchant: Past Concert Tour Dates & Appearances Archive

That would be this show, a benefit for Voters for Choice. Which sounds familiar.

Pretenders are another one who I don't know what their most regarded songs are because I'm familiar with so many of them. Talk of the Town is 133. I think this is 15 songs. Save some for tomorrow

Hyperballad from Bjork! Is Joga going to be her highest song?
