I would've done a few things differently now but goddamn was my team stacked

I'm not even gonna look at that. I don't want to be influenced

[i got bugs]

You just gave away everyone's picks w that list

[bada]

Numbers and dsb1218 just picked songs by two of the bands I wish I listened to in the 80's!

This is definitely the toughest decade for me. It's the first one that I was actively listening to music. I'm really torn between choosing the songs that I loved and listened to then and the songs that I discovered in the 90s that I would and should have listened to if I had heard of them in the 80's. I really want to choose songs from those touchstone 80s alt rock classic albums but it feels a little disingenuous because I really wasn't listening to them then so a lot of the times they don't feel like the 80's to me. They kind of exist outside of a definite time period. Not 80's but not 90's either.

There are songs I want to pick that I enjoy on different levels. Some I watched on MTV as a 4th grader, others I discovered much, much later when digging into influences of bands that would come later. Someone enjoyed those bands back in the 1980's...could have been me if circumstances had been different.

My plan is to pick songs, like you said, that I "loved and listened to then". To me, seems like the best way to go

Yeah I just decided to go this way too.

[epilogue]

Pixies- Where Is My Mind?

GODDAMN, Mick. This was gonna be my next one. Excellent choice.

[i got bugs]

Thought that pixies tune was mid 90s

[stip]

Michael Jackson - Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'

[stip]

Thought that pixies tune was mid 90s

you may just associate it with Fight Club

[stip]

since lament has still yet to show we'll skip him and move onto knee tunes

[knee tunes]

Under Pressure--Queen & David Bowie

[stip]

oh fuck me. That was going to be my next pick. I switched to Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' at the very last second cuz I thought it was more likely to get taken.

[PryTo]

Nirvana - About a Girl

[stip]

What are your thoughts on Bleach?

[knee tunes]

oh fuck me. That was going to be my next pick. I switched to Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' at the very last second cuz I thought it was more likely to get taken.

very very strange because I had a gigantic feeling that you would be picking under pressure. I almost knew that you were as a matter of fact.
