Alright, I love these music threads, I quite often find new music that I greatly enjoy, so here is the deal. Make a mixtape, 20 or so songs, of your favorite songs that came out this year.

In no particular order:

1 Matinee - Franz Ferdinand (Take Me Out is the better song, but oh well)
2 Bury Me With It - Modest Mouse
3 Sexy Results - Death From Above 1979 (my favorite at this particular moment)
4 Ducktales, Moon Theme - The Advantage (That's right, NES!!)
5 Kicking the Heart Out - Rogue Wave
6 We All Know - Devendra Banhart
7 Free Until They Cut Me Down - Iron and Wine
8 Accordian - Madvillain
9 The Lengths - The Black Keys
10 Me and Jesus Don't Talk Anymore - Beulah (My favorite title)
11 Jesus Walks - Kanye West (Just for a little contradiction)
12 Seven Swans - Sufjan Stevens (Finish the religious trio with one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard, seriously, download it, it is almost disturbing)
13 I'll Be Around - Cee Lo Green (Almost as good as the Spinners' classic)
14 The Rat - The Walkmen
15 Little House of Savages - The Walkmen (The only band with two songs, but these are inseperable)
16 Neighborhood #1 - The Arcade Fire
17 Jellybones - The Unicorns
18 Hummingbird - Wilco
19 Take Your Mama Out - Scissor Sisters
20 Pressure Point - The Zutons (Wins the best song in a commercial, the best song featured in a commercial since Pink Moon in that VW commercial)

So that Cee LO tune is good eh- We are talking about Cee Lo from the Dungeon Family.

Cee Lo of Goodie Mob and I guess Dungeon Family

Does it have to be music that came out in '04? I don't really have much of an interest in a lot of stuff that came out last year...only have 4 albums from '04. I could quite easily make a vastly superior compilation from stuff I discovered in the last year.

I honestly don't think I could think of 20 good songs (at least, ones from different albums) from '04.

Sure, there are no real rules to this, so if there is a song that came out 20 years ago and you feel like adding it go for it.

Sure you can.

Sure you can.

Well, i'll try. But I spent most of last year going back to the older stuff :p

Franz Ferdinand - Jacqueline
Spiderbait - Black Betty (cover)
Rammstein - Mein Teil
The Vines - Ride With Me
Nirvana - Oh, The Guilt (From their boxed set)

....

Well...I got a quarter of the way. I'll share a couple of others I discovered for the first time this year.

Alice Cooper - Go To Hell
Led Zeppelin - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Soundgarden - Loud Love
Smashing Pumpkins - X.Y.U
Kyuss - Freedom Run
Inside Out - No Spiritual Surrender
Toadies - Unattractive

Spiderbait - Black Betty (cover)

Nirvana - Oh, The Guilt (From their boxed set)


I will have to download these two.

I will have to download these two.

Ram Jam's older and more famous cover of Black Betty is far better, but it's not bad.

Led Zeppelin - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You

That is probably my favorite Zeppelin song. Nirvana, and The Pixies made their career copying this song. There was nothing like it for so long.

Toadies - Unattractive

The Toadies are a personal favorite of mine, do you own Rubberneck?

Mine too. It's absolutely brilliant, even next to all of their other work.

Afraid not. I first heard about them just before Christmas, but if I ever see one of their CDs floating around in a store, i'll definitely grab it :)

I didn't think there were enough good songs last year to make a compilation.

They have two that I know of, plus a live greatest hits, but Rubberneck is the superior album, it is fantastic.

If you want a sneak preview, download I Come From the Water, Possum Kingdom (of course), I Burn, and Tyler (my favorite).

I have Possum Kingdom already :) I should be able to find it somewhere. The trouble is that a lot of bands (or I should say, record labels) don't bother to export their music over here, so a lot of smaller-name acts can be pretty hard to find without importing off the internet (expensive).

Yeah, that Cee Lo tune is pretty good.

But I agree with Tuesday that the year was pretty weak.

Good News was a very good album, but in a stronger field, it wouldn't have been such a standout.

I can't help but think Franz Ferdinand was a lot overrated. Take Me Out was very catchy, but the album just didn't feel that innovative. The other tracks just kind of fell into this Blur-Pulp-Gomez amalgam.

I would like to throw The Grey Album into the mix. That's a phenomenal record with three or four tracks that would go on my 2004 tape.

I see. I say screw the label, find the tracklist and download it yourself. You should be able to find all of them and at least the four I listed.

Good News was a very good album, but in a stronger field, it wouldn't have been such a standout.

It is probably their third best album so far, although it is good. The Moon and Antarctica was a brilliant album. But I don't really feel this year was that weak, as compared to recent years. There was no "movement" that brought out a lot of good music but it was still a very eclectic crop.

I can't help but think Franz Ferdinand was a lot overrated. Take Me Out was very catchy, but the album just didn't feel that innovative. The other tracks just kind of fell into this Blur-Pulp-Gomez amalgam.

I see the Blur correlation, since both like that artsy funk rock that uses a march beat, but the similarities to Gomez escape me. Could you recommend some Gomez songs that are in this genre.

I would like to throw The Grey Album into the mix. That's a phenomenal record with three or four tracks that would go on my 2004 tape.

I have heard and read that it was good, but I have never gotten a chance to listen to it. I'll download some portions, once I get home from work.

Yeah, I'm not really disappointed with Good News, but Moon & Antarctica shows that Mouse can really own. I feel about those two albums pretty much the same way I feel about Royal Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic. Life Aquatic wasn't bad, per se, but everything I'd seen before led me to expect that it would be so much better.

Yeah, you can leave Gomez out of that second part because Ottewell's vocals are so different. Part of my problem with Franz is they remind me very much of somebody besides Pulp and Blur, but I'm not able to put my finger on who.

Off Grey Album, try out Encore and Change Clothes. It's such inventive sampling that Apple or Jacko or whoever blocked copyright ought to be ashamed.

Someone else who knows and likes The Moon and Antarctica! You have moved to the top of my list.

I do not know who you are thinking of, either.

I shall download them immediately.

You're right, it wasn't very innovative. But I enjoyed it nonetheless, because I took it as it was without expecting anything more. It's a good fun album.

I can't think of a truly innovative album since like, 1997, or maybe Kid A, but I didn't particularly care for that one.

Neon Golden by The Notwist and YHF by Wilco were close, and Lemon of Pink by the Books tried. But the last two truly inspired albums I can think of are OK Computer and Odelay, and those are almost 10 years old.

everyone must include snoop dog drop it like its hot i am so in love with that song!

I think QOTSA's Rated R album qualifies.

It's a pretty decent album, but I don't consider it innovative.

By the way you should download some of that Death From Above 1979 stuff, especially the song "Romantic Rights", the band is just drum n' bass, but it has a very QOTSA type of growl to it.

Edit:I want to include "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven"
by godspeed you black emperor! into the close category.

I'd consider stuff like Odelay, OK Computer, 69 Love Songs, Nevermind, maybe Play, maybe Ten, to be touchstone albums. More than just innovative. But that said, you can be innovative without redefining a genre or inspiring a million garage acts.

Guys like Soul Coughing or Sonic Youth or Morphine cut some innovative records without being Sgt. Pepper.

(But there wasn't much, I thought, that even hit plain innovative in 2004.)

You make good points and you mentioned Magnetic Fields, both of which I can agree with. But when I said innovative, I meant not really hearing anything that compared, or the first to be like it, or truely stretching genres.

The only albums that I can list for that would be Loveless, OK Computer, Odelay, March 16-20, 1992, Nevermind, the only albums that might fit since 1997 would be In the Aeroplane Over the Sea in 98' and Moon and Antarctica in 2000. Thats five years.

Edit: Although, now that I think about it 2002 had a few albums that came close.

I love 'godspeed you! black emperor' Great band.

Hmm most of the bands I would put in are not from 2004 at all, just bands I found out about last year such as Dream Theater, Children of Bodom, Opeth, Sigur Rós, Explosions in the Sky, The Cooper Temple Clause, Alice in Chains, Isis, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Judas Priest, KMFDM, Lacuna Coil, Auf Der Maur, Porcupine Tree, Rush, Yes, Thou Shalt Suffer, Yngwie Malmsteen. Well there are 19. Hmm oh and Suzanne Vega, doesn't fit in at all with the other bands but oh well.

I could probably choose a song for each band but I doubt many people will have heard of most of them so I won't bother.

Now we're going for the whole decade, eh? :)

I was actually going to include Aeroplane Over the Sea (I mean, who has a saw in their band?), but it, like Moon, just didn't have the reach. They're both very innovative, which is why I think the innovative-vs.-revolutionary distinction is important. Maybe revolutionary = innovative + huge market?

And in that light, I don't even know if the Fields had the market, in spite of the Village Voice.

I think stuff like Dre's "The Chronic" has to be included in a revolutionary record list ('92, right?).

Sigur Ros is amazing, if you could actually hear ice, that is what it would sound like.

Explosions in the Sky - Memorial would have been on my list for last year.

And I can't believe you heard of Alice in Chains for the first time this year.

I doubt many of us could spell a Sigur Ros song from memory, either. :)

They belong on the innovative-but-not-revolutionary list for Agaetis Byrjun at the least, as does Liz Phair for getting lo-fi on the map with Exile. Pixies are bridging the innovative-revolutionary line, but the problem is there's no single album that did it, you know?

Yes, "The Chronic" would definitely be in the revolutionary category, along with "Nevermind" and thats it for the past 15 years. "Loveless" might have been revolutionary had it been made in 2010, as it was it cost half a million, nearly destroyed a label, and was lost on most of the listening public. It is the only album I have ever listened to, and thought "I have no idea what this even is," but yet I can listen to it all day.

You are talking My Bloody Valentine, right? Not some other Loveless? Cause that album does have some colossally fat, fuzzy sounds, and I see how it's had some influence (re: Pixies above). But I haven't really thought about it in a couple years.

Maybe I'll have to revisit that disc.

Yes, My Bloody Valentine. It is seriously unlike any rock album I have ever heard like it. Pixies don't compare, truthfully. Every song is extremely atmospheric and they seem to have a wall of sound aspect to them that makes it seem like some sort of alien orchestra. It is full of pulsating guitar that has never been done since, and vocals that sound like a full orchestra singing different words all at the same note and beat.

I've got Only Shallow on my playlist now. That'll have to content me till quittin' time.

But thanks for the homework. Now I'll have to go home, drink some beer, and listen to some records. Great.

That sounds like a marvelous plan. Make sure you turn off the TV and any other possible distractions when listening to it. Maybe even turn off the lights, it is about the deepest music I have ever listened to, if you can get through the melody and concentrate on simply the production and engineering of the sound you can truly enjoy it.

Ohhhh the Toadies, :) how I adore them...

My picks (in no particular order):

1. Jimmy Eat World- "Futures"
2. The Von Bondies- "C'mon C'mon"
3. Iron and Wine- "Naked as We Came"
4. Franz Ferdinand- "Take Me Out"
5. Razorlight- "Stumble and Fall"
6. The Walkmen- "The Rat"
7. Elliott Smith- "A Distorted Reality Is Now a Necessity to Be Free"
8. Blonde Redhead- "Misery is a Butterfly"
9. Pavement- "Unseen Power of the Picket Fence"
10. The Mooney Suzuki- "Alive & Amplified"

As far as songs/bands I "discovered" in '04:

Gunnar Madsen- "Anna"
Mum- "We Have a Map of the Piano"

Mum- "We Have a Map of the Piano"

Wonderful list. "Naked As We Came" is actually the best song on that album, but I prefer the one I listed, and all of te songs that I bolded are songs that either made my list or could have been included. Bravo.

And for all of the people discovering music, look up Nick Drake if you don't already know of him. The best guitar work I have ever heard.

I often compile a list of songs for a "Year's Soundtrack" but they often include old songs that had meaning for me. For instance, the year I graduated from college, "Goodbye Stranger" was one of the choices, even though it's from the late 1970s.

Here's my list:

Song title (artist) - album

Here For The Party (Gretchen Wilson) - Here For The Party
Redneck Woman (Gretchen Wilson) - Here For The Party
Stand Back (Fleetwood Mac) - Live in Boston
Eyes Of The World (Fleetwood Mac) - Live in Boston
Shambala (Three Dog Night) - Cyan (1973)
They Want It All (Crosby and Nash) - Crosby Nash
Lay Me Down (Crosby and Nash) - Crosby Nash
Make Me (Heart) - Jupiter's Darling
Toxic (Britney Spears) - In The Zone
100 Years (Five for Fighting) - The Battle For Everything
Milkshake (Kelis) - Tasty (2003)
Numb (Linkin Park) - Meteora (2003)
Liar (Christine McVie) - In The Meantime
Light In Your Eyes (Sheryl Crow) - The Very Best Of Sheryl Crow (2003)
Rain On The Scarecrow (John Mellencamp) - Scarecrow (1985)
Land Of Confusion (Genesis) - Invisible Touch (1986)
Wooden Ships (Crosby, Stills & Nash) - Crosby, Stills and Nash (1969)
I Need To Know (Stevie Nicks) - live cover

I added a few songs that were released in 2004 to fill things out.

And for all of the people discovering music, look up Nick Drake if you don't already know of him. The best guitar work I have ever heard.

Anybody else bummed out that all this good stuff (Nick Drake and Modest Mouse, to name two out of this thread) has been gobbled up by VW for their ads? Given the associative power of music, I think it's crummy that people's first exposure to Pink Moon might be in conjunction with the new Jetta, now with low, low APR Pink Pink Pink GMAC Moon available in some states with option blah blah blah. . .

What Modest Mouse song have they used?

I like that it has introduced people to his music, but yes it is a rather poor introduction. Especially since that is one of the bleakest songs ever written and the emotion is completely stripped in that commercial.

They used "Gravity Rides Everything." They stripped out the "Gotta see, gotta know right now" loop and cycled it with the opening instrumental. Bastards. At least the band got some loot out of it.

At least I admire their choice in music, but the lyrics to Gravity Rides Everything might have fit with a car commercial, at least with some clever editing.

And for all of the people discovering music, look up Nick Drake if you don't already know of him. The best guitar work I have ever heard.

"Tomorrow is Such a Long Time", "Saturday Sun", "To the Garden" I adore Nick Drake. Though not like I adore Elliott Smith, who I think is amazing.

Duncan Sheik wrote a song after Smiths "suicide" called "Another Gone" which is written for Elliott Smith and Nick Drake, as a tribute.

Hrm. Let's see...

Modest Mouse - The View
Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
Sonata Arctica - White Pearl, Black Oceans
Nightwish - Dark Chest of Wonders
Edguy - King of Fools
Flogging Molly - Within A Mile of Home
The Mooney Suzuki - Alive and Amplified
Straylight Run - Tool Sheds and Hot Tubs


I'd be pretty satisfied with that.

"Tomorrow is Such a Long Time", "Saturday Sun", "To the Garden" I adore Nick Drake. Though not like I adore Elliott Smith, who I think is amazing.

There would be no Elliott Smith were it not for Nick Drake. And any Nick Drake list has to include "Pink Moon" and "Things Behind the Sun". The entire Pink Moon album is perfect.

Well, as much as I adore Nick Drake.....I would still pick Elliott Smith :).

And "Pink Moon" is a wonderful album, I totally agree. I think that Nick Drake influenced a lot more artists then most people think, or that they themselves realize.

Finally got round to it...here we go. Something for everyone here, almost.
Start Again - Electric Soft Parade
Whirlwind Reaper - Sahara Hotnights
Cuckold Of Titan - Arms Of Kismet
In The Flesh - Pink Floyd
You Get Me - Michelle Branch
Breathe - Secret Machines
Novocaine For The Soul - The Eels
This Is Yesterday - Manic Street Preachers
Strawberry Gashes - Jack Off Jill
Red Weather - Duke Spirit
House Of The Rising Sun (originally by The Animals) - Muse
Stop Your Crying - Spiritualized

I wanted to put on Joy by VNV Nation, but it wouldn't really fit with the rest.

Aww, man...
VNV Nation is awesome!
I see the 'not fitting' point though.

Oh, and I like the inclusion of Secret Machines. I dunno if I've heard that track, but it seems they're pretty good, and unfortunately overlooked, at least where I am.

Were the Manic Street Preachers that band with the guy that carved 'for real' into his arm? Or am I thinking of somebody else?

That was the manics guy who done that. If I recall, he also went missing too, and no-one knows where he is.

I am officially in love with their website.
Asuming the red fluid in the opening flash sequence is meant to be blood...

Holy fuck, I just saw the pictures of the '4 real' incident and that looked extremely painful.
:eek:

It did look rather sore. I once cut my thumb on a chisel proving that it couldn't draw blood, and that was sore enough for me. Of course, nothing quite beats smashing your teeth into concrete pavement.
*rubs tooth cap* That's not something to make a habit of.

And for some reason I have a genetic condition in my knees that only girls are supposed to get! what's up with that? Damn knees.

whine whine whine whine....

See? I completely upstaged him.

Oh, and I like the inclusion of Secret Machines. I dunno if I've heard that track, but it seems they're pretty good, and unfortunately overlooked, at least where I am.

It's on their first EP 'September 000'. Overall, that probably isn't as good as the album, but it's still damn good. And I've found they're rather overlooked as well, though they're gaining more recognition - they've just finished supporting Interpol's tour of Britain, and in a few months they're supporting the Chemical Brothers on their UK tour.

That was the manics guy who done that. If I recall, he also went missing too, and no-one knows where he is.
Yep, Richey Edwards. Went missing on the 1st February 1995, his car was found empty near the Severn Bridge.

I am officially in love with their website.
Asuming the red fluid in the opening flash sequence is meant to be blood...
Yes, it is meant to be blood - their new album (which is damn good) is called Lifeblood.

It's a pretty decent album, but I don't consider it innovative.

By the way you should download some of that Death From Above 1979 stuff, especially the song "Romantic Rights", the band is just drum n' bass, but it has a very QOTSA type of growl to it.

Will definitely check it out. I consider QOTSA as innovative- there are very few bands that carry a sound like theirs. Perhaps Kyuss are more deserving of the title. But how many people have heard of them?

My List:

"No W" - Ministry
"Who the Fuck?" - PJ Harvey
"Because I Can" - Concrete Blonde
"California Songs" - Local H
"In the Black" - Motorhead
"Lowlife" - Napalm Death (Cryptic Slaughter cover)
"Burn" - Neurosis
"The End of the World" - The Cure
"Unmade Bed" - Sonic Youth
"The Wreckage of My Flesh" - My Dying Bride
"Day of Your Beliefs" - Amorphis (Came out in 2004 here, 2003 elsewhere)
"Plethysmograph" - Jello Biafra and the Melvins
"The Ancient Sign of Coming Storm" - Amon Amarth
"Curse (of the Cloth)" - Grip Inc.
"Declaration Day" - Iced Earth
"The Ambassador of Pain" - Kataklysm
"I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" - My Chemical Romance
"Hide and Seek" - Cathedral
"Shake Your Blood" - Probot (or more accurately, Lemmy and Dave Grohl)
"Lost To Apathy" - Dark Tranquillity

As you can see, 2004 was a great year, but mostly just for metal. There wasn't a whole lot of exciting rock this year. Oh, well, here's to 2005!

"Plethysmograph" - Jello Biafra and the Melvins

:eek:

I take it you didn't know they had an album together? :D
