© DrownedinSound.com | From the Archive - The Weekly DiScussion: what are the essential musical page-turners?
Bestest
Its a toss up between:
Wake Up: Arcade Fire
Monster: Ladyfuzz
5 Verses: Jeremy Warmsley
all phat though
fuck
i forgot power our or rebellion by arcade fire. fukin ace singles.
power out
i meant
I shall
save my full reply until I compile my top20 list at the end of the year.
Suffice to say, it will be dominated by Arcade Fire, The National, Girls Aloud and Jamie T.
rachel stevens
all of them, except the shit ones. or pussycat dolls.
Guillemots
Made Up Love Song #43
art brut - emily kane
OR
helen love - long hot summer
Eamon
easy, no contest.
In 2nd place - Ordinary Boys
i dont think
anything can beat Power Out
jamie t
actually has a single?
Yup
The Selfish Sons EP came out this week, I think. Well, I got the single in da shops this week, anyway.
So Lonely Was The Ballad is a great tune.
Possibly...
On & On by Film School.
ME say:
Death Cab - Soul Meets Body
Arcade Fire - Laika (I took a U-Turn on it. I love it now.)
Franz Ferdinand - The Fallen (released in US, so it counts)
Art Brut - Formed a Band
White Stripes - Denial Twist
Interpol - Evil
- Carter
Formed
A Band came out last year.
It did
Silly mistake to make.
My whole point is shattered. Well corrected, Furny.
you had
a point?
Got to be one of
Patrick wolf - Tristan
Arcade fire - Power out
Eeels - Hey man! now you're really living
Saul Williams - Black stacey
Kanye West - Touch the sky
juice box
is better than anything they have ever done!! good shout. other singles though evil - interpol, arcade fire- power out, awfully deep - roots manuva, best of you - foo's, and the reuben single, can;t remember what its called
Am I the only one that thinks
Power Out is one of the weaker tracks on Funeral, nevermind one of the single of the year?
yeah
i think you are, funeral is just an awesome album so many good tracks
I love Funeral
but Power Out is not a standout track for me.
Apply
Some
Pressure.
no contest in my books
My Doorbell by The White Stripes
yeah!
Good track and all, but certainly not better than Laika or Rebellion (Lies).
i'd be happy with
mew - apocalypso
million dead - living the dream
sleater-kinney - entertain
arcade fire - power out
not bothered, but
Engerica - roadkill
DFA1979 - Black History Month
LCD Soundsystem - Tribulations
All good.
three contenders i can think of include
Stainless Steel - IlikeTrains
Arcade fire - rebellion
Not sure if it was actually released as a single or what but Tv on the Radio - Dry drunk emperor.
My Name Is Tristan
and I am alive. Ha!
This PW tune fucks with my molecular structure, leaves me feeling like I've just had an orgasm. But better because I don't need a cigarette and a short nap in order to do it again.
hows about
e-pro - beck
Black History Month - DFA1979
Nonstop - Whitey
difficult choice between
Helen Love - long hot summer
Art Brut - emily Kane
Apartment - everyone think i'm paranoid
The Little Flames first single ( can't remmeber the name...)
They Drove Me to It - zeroes to heroes
Emily Kane
or one of the Arcade Fire Singles.
I can't remember anything else that came out this year.
Maybe Tripping by Robbie Williams.
AMERIE - "1 THING"
YOU ARE ALL WRONG!!!!!
;)
Animal Collective
Grass.
It is probably my favourite SONG of the whole year.
yes
Boa vs Python and O [] /\ also r0xed my s0x
LCD
I'd have to second LCD Soundsystem - Tribulations.
Was Soulwax's NY excuse this year or last?
Did M83..
release "Teen Angst" as a single? That would be my choice.
I'm going with things I've only heard as singles
Welcome to J-Rock (i think?)
Bob Marley's son.
I don't actually think that is the best single, but it's fucking class innit?
It has to be
Hoppipolla
The only single I bought in 2005
was Kidnapped By Neptune by Scout Niblett. So I award it best single of the year. Hooray!
Oh unless the Medications EP counts. Which it probably doesn't.
Medications was released in 2003
I am on the pulse of the music scene.
UUUUUHHH
Gotta be Charlotte Church's Crazy Chick...If not that then Sigur Ros's Glosoli, bootiful.
