Is that 1986 Bowie from the movie "Labyrinth"? Thats pretty freaky, Bowie.
How, Lainey, if the list is in alphabetical order, did "Black Kids" end up at the bottom?
doms picks
bon iver - skinny love
bon iver - for emma
bloc party - signs
bloc party - mercury
the ukeladies - s.u.v
the drones - oh my
mgmt - kids
mystery jets - young love
friendly fires - paris
dirty secrets - lighthouse
Okay, here's how I voted:
Augie March - Pennywhistle
Ben Folds - You Don't Know Me (Ft. Regina Spektor)
Boat People, The - Awkward Orchid Orchard
C.W. Stoneking - The Love Me or Die
Conor Oberst - Souled Out!!!
Dan Kelly + The Ukeladies - The SUV Song
Emiliana Torrini - Jungle Drum
Okkervil River - Lost Coastlines
Sparkadia - Jealousy
Vampire Weekend - A-Punk
Now, on the basis that Jake's going to tally the results again to prove how out of touch I am with the youth of today, here are my predictions for the top ten:
Augie March - Watch Me Disappear
Emiliana Torrini - Jungle Drum
Franz Ferdinand - Lucid Dreams
Josh Pyke - The Lighthouse Song
Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire
Living End - White Noise
MGMT - Kids
Pez - The Festival Song
Something by the Presets
Something by Pnau
I think it's fairly likely that Sex on Fire will take out number one spot.
The only song that appears on both of the above lists is Emiliana Torrini. I expect to cop a bit of flak for that one, but I think that when we hear that song 5 or 10 years from now it'll transport us back to 2008.
I agree with Nick, Alaine. Your list lacks Bowie related material.
Augie March - "Pennywhistle";
Dan Kelly & The Ukes -"The SUV Song"
Empire of the Sun - "Walking on a Dream";
The Fratellis - "Mistress Mabel";
Lily Allen - "Guess Who Batman";
Metallica - "The Day that Never Comes";
MGMT - "Time to Pretend";
Nick Cave - "Dig, Lazarus. Dig!!"
Tame Impala - "Desire Be Desire Go";
Vampire Weekend - "A-punk"
Honourable Mentions to: C.W. Stoneking ("The Love Me or Die"); Dizee Rascal ("Dance Wiv Me"); The Drones ("The Minotaur"); Jack White & Alicia Keys ("Die Another Day"); and anything by Flight of the Conchords.
Kings of Leon to have two (2) songs in the top five.
(I removed the last post because of an unforgivable spelling error)
Grant, my list was alpahebetical until the bottom 3 songs but I guess you don't know any of the songs so you have to comment about something. Your feedback is always appreciated.
Thank you.
What a load of rubbish young people listen to today.
Seriously are any of these songs (ukes aside) as good as any of the gems on Deep Purple's Machine Head?
Come on! Mind you, I do respect Brittany's contemporary post break down work especially "Piece of me".
Also, I will cop the Jack White & Alicia Keys "Die Another Day".
Meh. I've had better top 10 lists. These kids today don't vote for anything unless Kyle spruiks it on the Hot 40 countdown. No Augie March anywhere in the top 100!! Shame, Australia, shame.
