This is odd, because I am overall way more into "experimental" music than "pop" music, yet when I create a list such as this, the songs are all unabashedly pop gems...

Chrix Knox "Rust"
Elliott Smith "Say Yes"
Melvins "Queen"
Big Star "Holocaust", "September Gurls", "Blue Moon"
Velvet Underground "Sunday Morning"
Brian Eno "Everything Merges with the Night"
Tim Buckley "Song to the Siren"
Yo La Tengo "Tiny Birds", "You Can Have It All", "Tom Courtenay"
Nick Drake "Things Behind the Sun"
Dusty Springfield "Windmills of Your Mind"
Carpenters "Rainy Days and Mondays"

Youth of America-the Wipers

Everything off Cold War Kids' Robbers and Cowards. There isn't a single aspect of any of those songs that I don't like.

Also, KT Tunstall's "Suddenly I See." This is one of the few songs where I love the lyrics, the beat, the melody, the voice, everything.

I find it infuriating that I entirely agree with this. She should, by rights, be utterly shite, but is, in fact, brilliant.

The Carter Family's Chewing Gum; Hank Williams' everything he wrote, but particularly I just told Mama goodbye. Dolly Parton's Coat of many colours and Tennessee [sp?] mountain home.

Etc.

ZEROpumpkins 09.08.2007 07:47 AM

Oh, and Where is my Mind?
That's a perfect song right there.

Yes, I love The healing festival (maybe my favorite song off Starsailor). I find in it a similar spirit to The Stooges' 1970 (with Lee Underwood's repetitive's funky riffs and the chaotic brass section).

my way my love - wreck low
