i do not agree with you

id say 1979


the obvious one...

...but teen spirit surely?


^ lameosaurus

its not even that great a song


I thought this was a Nada Surf original

having never heard of Vitreous Humor. Any chance of a link to the original?

While i'm here, I was going to start a thread about how Nada Surfs self titled first album is one of the best 90s American indie rock albums. But i'll just plonk that statement here. Any love for it?


Oh, and for the record,

they were really really good before they went all fey and tepid

Zen Brain <3


Oh wait

That was on High/Low


Oh shiezer

that's what it's called, not s/t, durr. Zen Brain is the first song I ever learnt on guitar \O/


I'm not sure this link will work...

The song is on there myspace. I only just found out that Nada Surf covered this as it isn't on my copy of The Proximity Effect. Something to do with Electra dropping them.

And Nada Surf's debut is their 3rd best album in my opinion.


There are a couple of versions of the Proximity Effect out there

With a different tracklisting, due to record label gubbins. I had to hunt down the extended version of Firecracker instead of the radio edit which appears on mine (for ELONGATED CLICKING INTRO)

I love Bob Pollard


Vitreous Humor are amazing.

Do you have the Boys Life split?


Vitreous Humor is a good nomination

But I think I choose Sebadoh's 'The Freed Pig'.


I distro'd this

And I probably still have some left.

Vitreous Humour were amazing. The 10" is ridiculously good.


Low by Cracker

end thread.


Fuck off.


^

I fully endorse this answer.


No Rain

that is, not Fuck Off. Damn my slow typing.


You cut your bloody hair!

People are getting personal in this thread now, I'm not having it.


Good choice


this is too hard

sugar kane by sonic youth?


SEETHER - veruca salt

actually


So far your two answers have met with my approval.

If you can get to five without me shaking my head in despair, it means we're meant to be married.


oh man, the pressure...

Slowly slowly - MAGNAPOP???


Nah, I'd go for Car Song as well

How about Tailights Fade - Buffalo Tom?
Beauty of the Ride - Sebadoh, or maybe Magnet's Coil or Careful . Something by Sebadoh anyway.


Beauty of the Ride is correct.

I'd pick Treehouse by Buffalo Tom though. YEAH.


Mike Watt???

Firehouse - Captain


Car

by Built to Spill


alright, don't have a go

we enjoy these little games


God Choiced but..

Drive Like Jehu - Rome Plows

end of thread?


lol appalling spelling

good choices


Pavement's Shady Lane

Weezer's Buddy Holly
Smashing Pumpkin's Cherub Rock
Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box
Rocket From The Crypt - On A Rope
Grant Lee Buffalo - Fuzzy

Surely one of these? Or at least in my book.


Modest Mouse - Teeth Like God's Shoeshine

or Trailer Trash

goodbye x


Echos Myron - GBV

nah fuck it, Game of Pricks.


So many good tracks

Game Of Pricks is immense though. The Freed Pig by Sebadoh is quality, Blueprint by Fugazi is another favourite. Jesus Lizard - Puss or Mouth Breather maybe. Smashing Pumpkins cover of Landslide is brilliant.


detachable penis

or martin scorsese

king missile


Jesus was way cool

whats the song about cheesecake?

forgottten about this band


Someone's already said Seether

So I shall put

"Merchandise" by Fugazi.

That is all


Runaway Train - Soul Asylum

okay, that's kind of a joke answer, but it's not a terrible song.


Animal Tear Wagon

by Billy Tibbons & The Farmhouse Band


It is a terrible song.

Doesn't the video feature loads of homeless people? If so that was terrible video. Homeless people are terrible. And they probably can't defend themselves on an internet forum.


Fuck off.


The Lemonheads

Buddy or Down About It


You don't get to say that in my thread!

Start your own thread and tell me to fuck off. Or tell me to fuck off in person during a pub quiz. Actually, don't do that.


^ agreed. If you're going to have that

then you may as well include Cats Cradle by Ugly Kid Joe


out there

dinosaur jr


Reptile Hallow Fish Police

by Billy Tibbons & The Farmhouse Band


Violet - Hole


You are banned.

You can only say one song. Pick out of all of them choices please.


I can't pick one!

okay, maybe 'Drown'.
Or 'Sense Of Quickness'.


Pick one!

Tell Colonol K to do the same.


alright alright alright

The Wagon.


okay, it's Sense of Quickness.

Colonol_k, pick one!


Yo La Tengo - Sugarcube

Sparklehorse - Cow
Dinosaur Jr - The Wagon
Built To Spill - Carry The Zero
Sonic Youth - Sunday
Posies - Dream All Day


my girlfriend was going on about Scarce the other day

I haven't heard them for a decade or something and now two people bring them up in three days. Imagine!

As we go up we go down - Guided by Voices

Kracked - Dinosaur Jr
Folk Implosion - Daddy Never Understood

WOAH

I forgot about Free To Go by the Folk Implosion. This changes everything.
