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.)

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

I'm sticking with Black Hole Sun for Soundgarden.

Kashmir for Zep.

Let's say, Debra for Beck.

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.

No wait. Mixed Bizness for Beck.

Or Where It's At.

One of those two.

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
