violet - hole (the version on the ask for it Ep and on bootlegs from 1991-93)

Was listening to it the other day and it's still a very good song.

were you listening to the one on live through this (which is still undisputeably good) or the version i mentioned?

oh and another one!
cinnamon girl - crazy horse
one of the greatest riffs ever

'Newark Wilder' by Pavement, I forgot. I think Malkmus wanted it to sound all depraved and cabaret, but it's just glum, and I like that.

sonic youth - halloween

the beatles - in my life

thom yorke - atoms for peace

radiohead - everything in its right place

I'd say Wildflower Soul.

The live through this version.

Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head by BJ Thomas
Loser by Beck

neutral milk hotel- king of carrot flowers, part 1

Can I name an entire album?

Goat - Jesus Lizard

the version on "ask for it" is harsher, it's from a peel session in 1991. i do like them both though.

Some many great choices in this thread so far. I'll add some more.

A whole bunch of songs by these bands/artists:

You Am I
Bluebottle kiss
The Bronx

Very good call that man. That's one of my 'too drunk to speak, so I'll sing an oldie' coming home from the pub songs.

In that vein, Leadbelly's you are my sunshine, which is a brilliantly nothappy song.

ask the sea for answers - placebo

I have some pretty great video of them doing this song in some kind of cathedral-looking building. Two takes of it, even.
Perfect song indeed!

Now i'll get the blame for the Placebo revival.Well well,if that's the case i'm listening to Supergrass wich always have that nice touch.

i mention placebo and you take the blame?why,oh,why?i ripped their first 2 cds today (the only ones i like).some great songs,in my opinion.

edit- nevermind pork, i saw the "singing" in the other thread
