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

[Captain Dave Poulin]

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?

Their biggest commercial song was probably the one you mentioned earlier from "GI Jane" - otherwise it's "Brass In Pocket."

Ah yes, we’re definitely getting that one.

Still need Linger and Zombie by the Cranberries too

Silent all these years

We’ve had zero Metric, I’m surprised by that

 

[JojoTheWhale]

This is as good of a measure as you're going to get for relative sentiment behind Bjork songs:

So we’d we waiting for All is Full of Love, Joga, Bachelorette, and Pagan Poetry.

Hmmm, does she have 4 songs in the top 125?

[GKJ]

Ode to my Family was 484. It was on my list.

Dreams, no. I think we’ve only had one Cranberries song

142 - Be My Baby by The Ronettes, aka one of the most influential pop songs of all time with one of the most iconic vocal performances in pop music history delivering one of it's sweetest hooks.

131 - What's Up? by 4 Non Blondes, aka the most grating song ever written, yes even more grating than Alanis, with the single most annoying vocal performance in pop music history delivering a nightmare of a 'melody'.

Also, TIL that the song isn't called What's Going On? Why the f*** is it called What's Up? if she just keeps screeching "what's going on?" over and over again and never once says the title? How f***ing stupid can one song be?

Probably would be like down another 100 spots if I didn’t vote for it

I think the story is that Linda Perry’s lyrics were changed in production, which she hated.

So, in other words, you're a musical masochist. Luckily for you, we don't kink shame here. Unless you listen to Kid Rock, then we'll bully the shit out of you.

And nice try on the last part. I'm not falling for such an obvious trap.

Started today with Cannonball. It’ll be a good day.

 

[VladDrag]

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.

My mom grew up with Chrissie Hynde in Akron, Ohio. At the time, Akron was a hotbed of musical talent. She knew Joe Walsh (her friend dated her) and Freddy Salem, replacement guitarist from the Outlaws. She also dated a band manager for Devo as well.

 

[GKJ]

Dreams is #123

Someone should have been given the death penalty for allowing that song to happen.

Mystery Acheivement to get us out of this Joni double

Does that station have an older audience?

 

[Rebels57]

Mystery Acheivement to get us out of this Joni double

Up to 22 Joni songs now. I'm guessing Coyote is still to come at the least.

 

[GKJ]

Does that station have an older audience?

Yes, absolutely. A lot of them hippies and abandoned classic rock fans.
