The Song that Best Represents a Band/Artist

[E.H. Ruddock]

i’ve been trying to think of a sufjan one all day

Chicago

The Super Bowl Shuffle.

Or Saturday in the Park.

[Ello Sailor]

Grimes - Violence

I can accept this

i'm waiting for soma to shit all over this

Grimes was always going to be a tough one, because there's a massive shift in polish from Art Angels onwards. I would offer something a little cruder and more loop-centric, as that's how she broke out!


(I do love 'Violence', though. That's one of my favs.)

[Ello Sailor]

Let’s fight about Neil Young

Sample and Hold

NEXT

Down By The River

ooh not a bad pick honestly

LMS nailed it.

Down By The River

Yes

Everyone gets ready for the patented Joey 1-2 Punch:

1. Joey loses his shit on someone

2. Joey goes to great pains to gaslight us all by acting hunky dory in every other thread

Trag takes swings until he realizes he's an asshole and has a"sober" image to uphold. He thinks he's better than everyone else and so ultimately "deescalates" and "walks away" eventually rather than risk revealing who he really is.

You're an asshole. You think I'm an asshole. You wish I'd fuck off forever. No one is buying the peace keeper bullshit, champ. Just be honest. I can handle it, I promise.

Guys this is what Colin Meloy wants. He wants to divide us

This Is Why We Fight

25 or 6 to 4

Joey, you can't let Led Zeppelin, Beck and Soundgarden defeat you. It's big boy time.

I'm sticking with Black Hole Sun for Soundgarden.

Kashmir for Zep.

Let's say, Debra for Beck.

No wait. Mixed Bizness for Beck.

Soundgarden-Slaves and Bulldozers

I can't help it you guys don't get the thread

It CANT be anything before Superunknown. No way! Michael Beinhorn is on record as to the extent to which Cornell wanted to bring in his beloved Beatles influences on that album, and that influence stuck around until the end. Anything before that album ignores one of Cornell’s two biggest influences (the other being Sabbath), and presumes that those last three albums were not as integral to their success, which is obviously false.

For a SG pick, you need:

-Sabbath influence
-Beatles influence
-Quiet/loud dynamics
-Parallel chord movement (just trust me)
-Some of Matt’s tom work

The Day I Tried To Live is a FINE choice!

But you are missing the intense temp changes and time signatures i think...

Otherwise Day I tried to live is pretty good.

I haven't read the whole thread but is there a reason we're not nominating Black Hole Sun?

It checks pretty much every box here.

ridiculous, too much standard 4/4

No wait. Mixed Bizness for Beck.

Or Where It's At.

One of those two.

Eddie Vedder - Hey Fahkah

[Ello Sailor]

Black Hole Sun is fine. Kashmir is too grandiose to represent the wider body of Led Zeppelin's work. Debra... I don't know, man. Beck's vocal delivery is kind of out of character on that track. A little more nonchalant monotone is required IMO.

Well those are far better picks than Debra.

[Ello Sailor]

I’d be down for Where It’s At.

I can’t abide Kashmir bc there’s really only a few songs in the catalog that have either that plodding sludge thing and/or middle eastern vibe

Yeah the middle eastern vibe is an outlier in their catalogue. Joey's on one today.
