2. Soundargen- "Spoonman".  On superunknown.  i hate this song.


I don't know how to spell a singularly shocked noise.
I love that song. That is all.


"Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman
Speak the rhythm on your own
Speak the rhythm all alone, Spoonman

Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me"

what.
the.
fuck.


My own annoyance with that fuck*ng song could not have been expressed better.  Although I'm sure Spoonman really appreciated the minor celebrity status that the song briefly gave him.

You have to be careful dogging Soundgarden for their lyrics, because most of them are fairly dodgy.

I'm sitting in a magic hat
With smoke and mirrors
And tire rubber fires
Watch me disappear
What made it slow you down
Sucking on a ball and chain
Another motherfucker goes down the drain
Hard headed fuck you all
Just add it up to the hot rod death toll

And I like that song. Nice work, Chris.

I'm not sure if it actually qualifies for this thread, since I'm not sure I ever liked the band in the first place, but "Wake Up (And Make Love To Me)" has some of the worst lyrics I have ever heard. I am honestly sort of sketched out by the fact that The SO loves this song. I mean, what the shit? Should I be troubled?

Well, yeah - the music on that song is pretty goofy. Good point.

I don't know what the hell you're talking about, but then again I don't really keep up with the kids anymore.

Oh, as far as the "blind buys" that I downloaded without having heard them at all first, I am very much liking Television's "Marquee Moon" and Badly Drawn Boy's "Bewilderbeast".  

Also, The Thorns album is really good and I also like Love's "Forever Changes" which is the best album from the 60s you've never heard.

I wouldn't call Forever Changes particularly unknown, but then again I assumed everyone had Marquee Moon, so what the hell do I know?


Edit: Why do my fingers fight with my keyboard, instead of working in concert with it?

See, I thought the game was albums anyone who is, as they say, anyone should have.  Although albums everyone DOES have would also be a good game in itself.

Or albums that are in every used CD bin ever. Or, even better, GOOD albums that are in every CD bin.

Arthur Lee is now out of prison, I understand.  They played in Seattle one summer, but I wasn't there.

The elves that used to repair pair after pair of shoes for kindly old tinkers are now responsible for distributing copies of "Bigger, Better, Faster, More!", and from all appearances they are doing a terrific job. I heard it is actually illegal to operate a used music storefront in some states without at least two copies of this album.

OK, I was just referring to Jogh's comment, which itself probably references the Albums I'm a Fool For Not Owning thread. This thread appears to be, at it's core, songs that suck by artists you love. I don't think there's anything about how everyone should have these albums, otherwise St. Zart's list makes me look like an idiot. Not only do I not have those albums, I've never even heard of some of those artists. I'm sticking with Limmo.

Woo-hoo!

Marquee Moon is one of those records that I know is utterly excellent yet I always turn it off after the fourth song ends.
