2006 Modern Rock Redux Thread

[The Big Crunch]

This is the 2006 Modern Rock 500 thread for those of us who are hearing it for the first time this week at work because we didn't have a chance to catch it this weekend.

We will ignore trying to find the results and act as if it is occurring for the first time.

I have great memories of enjoying last year's 500. It was about the time I started to really become active on the boards. It made me actually look forward to coming to work.

[Slar]

I've been listening off and on today. I can't tell if I'm listening to the normal random cycle or if it's really the 500. Is there a list or numbering system somewhere that I'm missing?

[george]

It's next week.

I'll give you that the weather was awesome this weekend, and some of you may have missed parts of this years Modern Rock 500 over the holiday weekend. Well, we've got your back....we'll replay the entire 500 - at 100 laps per day - starting next Monday, June 5th exclusively on WOXY VINTAGE. This time, we'll make listening to the 500 work friendly, too. We'll run 100 laps per day, starting at 10am EDT....meaning that each day should run roughly 10a - 5p. So......

Monday June 5: Lap 500 - 401
Tuesday June 6: Lap 400 - 301
Weds. June 7: Lap 300 - 201

D'oh!

Right, okay, so I'll bump this thread back up starting next monday. :o

[Slar]

Bump

Matthew Sweet - Sick of Myself at 489? Perhaps I was just more familiar with that song, but I thought it would be higher.

[Slar]

Apparently I'm the only one listening.

Bam for LCD Soundsystem #470.

[The Big Crunch]

Bump

Matthew Sweet - Sick of Myself at 489? Perhaps I was just more familiar with that song, but I thought it would be higher.
Damn I missed that one. I love that song...it should be higher.

LCD Soundsystem has me doing the seat dance in my cubicle. :)

[Slar]

Ultravox - Vienna

Could this be the ultimate slow modern rock 80's ballad?

[The Big Crunch]

Pulp - Disco 2000

Oh yeah... :D

[Slar]

458?

http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/images/thumb/b/bb/180px-Ana_ng_picture.JPG

[The Big Crunch]

I am enjoying this soooooooooooooooooo much. What a great music mix this has been. Makes editing in the cubicle much more enjoyable.

[The Big Crunch]

Apparently I'm the only one listening.

Are we the only one's listening? :(

[Slar]

Are we the only one's listening? :(Yes. And you're on your own at 2, because I have a surprise staff meeting. :(

[The Big Crunch]

Yes. And you're on your own at 2, because I have a surprise staff meeting. :(
I'm eating lunch at 2:00.

It will be sad if no one is listening.

Oh yeah,

BIG V-BAM!!

Joey - Concrete Blonde

[The Big Crunch]

V-Bam

Rilo Kiley - Portions For Foxes

This song always exponentially increases my "Jenny Lewis crush quotient".

[djudge79]

belated V-BAM!

there goes the fear - the doves

[djudge79]

V-BAM, gomez, get myself arrested

[djudge79]

V-BAM!, tv on the radio, staring at the sun

this shit never gets old....

[Slar]

V-BAM!, tv on the radio, staring at the sun

this shit never gets old....I've never been a big fan of TV on the Radio, but I'll admit that this is a good song.

[djudge79]

I've never been a big fan of TV on the Radio, but I'll admit that this is a good song.
i tend to like most of their stuff, but 'staring at the sun' blows anything they've ever done out of the water. one of the best opening 30 seconds to a song that i can think of and it doesn't let up.

[The Big Crunch]

I sort've lost the love for Postal Service, but "DC Sleeps Alone" still gets me. Reminds me of an old girlfriend, she lived in a gaudy apartment complex in DC...and yes, it took a while before I realised I had been the one worth leaving.

[Foofur]

I wasn't expecting that Decemberists song to be on there. Cool, nonetheless. :cool:

[stakeraiser]

Maybe I'm just blind and can't find it, but is there a list of the songs anywhere?

[Slar]

The Jam - That's Entertainment.

Why does this song always remind me of the Smiths?

[Slar]

Maybe I'm just blind and can't find it, but is there a list of the songs anywhere?Not yet. Just gotta follow along for now. For the most recent songs played check music/woxy vintage.

[Foofur]

Sweet. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!

[djudge79]

i'll BAM! 'praise you' mostly for the video it inspired than the song itself.

[The Big Crunch]

Belated

88 Lines About 44 Women never ceases to make me smile...brilliant.

And I LOVE "Somebody to Shove".

[Slar]

I dropped out today at the dodge-o-matic song. 5:00 you know. I can't quite understand how that is on the list. Must have missed the first time around.

[The Big Crunch]

I dropped out today at the dodge-o-matic song. 5:00 you know. I can't quite understand how that is on the list. Must have missed the first time around.
Yeah, it was on last year as well. It's kind've a silly joke that just doesn't do much for me either.

But the Pixies...oh boy!!

v-Bam for Alex Eiffel!!!!

The Pixies were basically a perfect rock band.

[Foofur]

Excellent - > INXS - The One Thing (VEE-BAM while we're at it)

[Slar]

You know, as much as Love Shack has been played into the ground, I still enjoy listening to it. Bam for the B-52's.

[The Big Crunch]

You know, as much as Love Shack has been played into the ground, I still enjoy listening to it. Bam for the B-52's.
I heard it at my gym the other day and I thought the same thing. It's really a fucking cool song.

[The Big Crunch]

I NEVER get tired of "What's The Frequency Kenneth"

v-BAM!!!

[The Big Crunch]

Oh geez...I hate the Lo-Fi Allstars. This shit wasn't even very good during the heyday of Big Beat.

[Foofur]

Yes! Lo-Fidelity Allstars - Battleflag :D

Thanks goodness I'm not driving in a car at the moment - instant ticket

[djudge79]

i never understood a lot of people's obsession with The Blue Album, but i've always enjoyed 'say it ain't so,' so BAM!

[MaximumFunk]

So, so good.

[Rainbex]

v-BAM

I fucking LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Big Crunch]

v-BAM!!

Cowboy junkies - Sweet Jane

It never ceases to be beautiful and transfixing.

[Slar]

The Pretenders - Middle of the Road.

I'd never have predicted that this song would have aged as well as it has.

[gibby]

The Pretenders - Middle of the Road.


Second that and

Bob Marley - Redemption Song

When they sang this at the funeral it was one of those beautiful moments that stands above

[gibby]

Air - Sexy Boy

[djudge79]

Air - Sexy Boy
seconded. great song, great album.

[The Big Crunch]

New Pornographers - The Laws Have Changed

The last album left such a sour taste in my mouth, it's great to hear this tune. I need to dig out this album.

[The Big Crunch]

The White Stripes - My Doorbell

Hmmm...this song basically sucks.

[gibby]

New York Dolls - Personality Crisis

[The Big Crunch]

[gibby]

The Velvet Underground - What Goes On

White Stripes – My Doorbell
GBV – Glad Girls
The New York Dolls – Personality crisis
The New Pornographers – The Laws Have Changed
The Dandy Warhols – Not If You Were The Last Junkie on Earth

If you ignore that White Stripes song (which sucked) then that would be a hell of a first side on a mix tape.

[kmart216]

2nd that v-bam for elliot smith

[kmart216]

Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star

Hate that song, so fucking annoying.

[gibby]

R.E.M. - So. Central Rain

[The Big Crunch]

I’ve been waiting for the killer tunes to end for nearly 20 minutes so I can go eat. Really, now would be a great time for them to play some Ministry or Muse or some shite like that, but nooooo, they have to spring this killer Buggles’ tune that makes me all happy and follow it with classic REM. Aaaargh.

I should have left during that White Stripes song...of course then I would have mised all those lovely music.

[gibby]

I’ve been waiting for the killer tunes to end for nearly 20 minutes so I can go eat.

[Foofur]

Yeah - The Stone Roses - Waterfalls

[zacwbond]

Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprosy - Television, Drug of a Nation

This is one of those "Oh brother, a lecture" songs. I like the Disposable Heroes though. Isn't the Black Flag song "TV Party" also on the list? These two should be placed next to each other...

-Zac

[gibby]

Tricky - Black Steel

[djudge79]

caring is creepy, the shins

[gibby]

The Smiths - Girlfriend In A Coma

[djudge79]

cure for pain, morphine

[The Big Crunch]

Geez, I haven't heard "Even Flow" in a LOOOOONG time...years probably. It sounds thinner in terms of the mix than I remember it being. Actually, it REALLY does sound like Mother Love Bone (minus Eddie of course).

[The Big Crunch]

v-BAM!!

Pixies - Debaser

[djudge79]

this song reminds me of that old Chris Elliot show, "Get a Life." other than that, i couldn't care less.

[The Big Crunch]

Is it just me or have the 200s been a little underwhelming? Yeah, it's almost all great music, but as a wole I thought the 300s were stronger. Yeah...I'm a woxy dweeb :o

[djudge79]

Is it just me or have the 200s been a little underwhelming? Yeah, it's almost all great music, but as a wole I thought the 300s were stronger. Yeah...I'm a woxy dweeb :o
sorry, my listening has been too sporadic to be able to say.

[The Big Crunch]

How does "The Ledge", which is a pretty second-rate, mid-period 'Mats tune rank higher than "Bastards of Young", which is arguably their best song? How does Fool's Gold (which is a great song, but also kind of a throwaway jam) rank higher than Waterfall. Seriously, the top 200 has been kind've lame in relation to the top 300. Okay, I'll stop beating this into the ground.

[The Big Crunch]

v-BAM!!!

Screaming trees - Nearly Lost You

Great song.

[djudge79]

common people, pulp

[The Big Crunch]

There She Goes - The Las

Both this and Common People should e in the Top 100. This is a PERFECT song.

[shivvy]

Actually, I don't know what version they played but there are in fact at least two different mixes of the tune. There's an album version and there was also a radio mix released, too.

We only have the album version I believe. One of the few Pearl Jam radio promos in the library is the 'fuckless' version of "Jeremy."

[the happy prole]

And there are no known existing copies of the "suckless" version. :p

[drougan]

Fark yeah....Top 100 time!


Cant wait...... :D

Great job this year WOXY.

[Slar]

Boomtown Rats - I don't like Mondays

A little something about Boomtown Rats
The Boomtown Rats were at a US radio station for an interview when the story of Brenda Spencer came over the news wire. The 16 year old California high school student made headlines when she grabbed her father's gun and opened fire on her school from a house across the street, injuring eight students and killing the school's principal and custodian. When later asked why she'd gone on the shooting spree, she responded "I don't like Mondays."

As a loud mid '70s rock band, the Boomtown Rats were (respectfully if not completely accurately) branded punks by the media. As the Sex Pistols and the Clash became the voice of young London punks, The Boomtown Rats carried the flag for the youth of Dublin. After their debut album saw respectable sales in 1978, they recorded "I Don't Like Mondays," their most successful and most enduring hit despite the fact that many US radio stations refused to play it.

The Boomtown Rats' popularity never rose beyond their successes of the late '70s, and after the weak sales of their 1982 album "V Deep" the band had reached its end. Singer Bob Geldof embarked on a solo career, and while not finding pop huge success he has made his mark on pop culture by playing the lead role in Pink Floyd's The Wall. His shining moment came in the mid '80s, co-writing Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas" with Midge Ure and putting together the highly successful Live Aid concert.

[jfurnie]

Bam!! Jeff Buckley Last Goodbye

[The Big Crunch]

v-BAM!!

Camper Van and Lowery

There's better Camper Van songs, but this is still a classic.

[The Big Crunch]

Geez...

"Where It's At"

I forgot just how fucking cool this song is :cool:

[gibby]

Now I Wanna Be Your Dog

C'Mon

[The Big Crunch]

It never gets old...and it has the best video EVER!! :D

[The Big Crunch]

Bitchin' Camaro

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucck Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[drougan]

Dead Milkmen - Bitchin' Camaro
Love it.

[gibby]

New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle

[The Big Crunch]

Patti Smith Group - Gloria!!

FUCK YEAH!!!!!

[gibby]

Jane's Addiction - Jane Says

[djudge79]

waiting room, fugazi :cool:

[The Big Crunch]

I think “Walk On The Wild Side” is one of the most over-rated songs in rock history. Really, it’s pretty fucking weak. Not even close to being the best song on Transformer.

[Slar]

Yep. It's Radiohead alright.

[The Big Crunch]

Now this is a BRILLIANT FUCKING song



Alex Chilton – The Replacements



Hells YEAH!!

[Slar]

Now this is a BRILLIANT FUCKING songFunny, I never really thought of it that way.

[drougan]

I think “Walk On The Wild Side” is one of the most over-rated songs in rock history. Really, it’s pretty fucking weak. Not even close to being the best song on Transformer.


I would chalk that one up to Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun. That song always makes my ears bleed..... Ugh.

Wouldnt have thought Been Caught Stealing was top 10 worthy either, Jane Says is definitely better.


Wanna Be Sedated Though....Thats hot!

[drougan]

The Smiths - How Soon Is Now

A solid song to round out the 500. Nice.

Well gentlemen (and ladies?), its been a pleasure. Sorry I joined the posting party a little late, though I have been listening as much as I could.

Anyone got a smoke?

[The Big Crunch]

I actually think most of the Top 10 songs are fairly overrated.

[The Big Crunch]

"How Soon is Now" is a great song, but I just don’t see it as Number 1. Then again, I don’t see last year’s Number 1 (“Love Will Tear Us Apart”) as being that great either. “London Calling” deserved to be in there, so did “Teen Spirit”. Maybe “Anarchy In The UK”. How did “With or Without You” not make it? Hell, I think it was The Guardian that recently named “One” as the greatest song ever written, and while that’s baloney in my mind, it certainly seems a better tune than “How Soon Is Now?”. The only U2 song in the Top Ten was “New Year’s Day”, I’d put “With or Without You” above that. “Creep” by Radiohead at something like 6 or 7? Are they serious? Oh yeah, no REM in the top ten? I dunno.

Off the top of my head, here's my top 50:

1. Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana
2. Radio Free Europe – REM
3. London Calling – The Clash
4. With or Without You – U2
5. Sweet Jane – The Velvet Underground
6. Anarchy In The UK – The Sex Pistols
7. I Am The Resurrection – The Stone Roses
8. No Woman No Cry – Bob Marley
9. Three Days – Jane's Addiction
10. New Year's Day - U2
11. I'll Be Watching You - The Police (if you're going to include the Police, then how do you put "Roxanne" over "I'll Be Watching You"?)
12. There Is a Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths
13. Alive - Pearl Jam
14. Summer Babe - Pavement
15. One - U2
16. Bizarre Love Traingle - Joy Division
17. I Wanna Be Sedated - The Ramones
18. Blister In The Sun - Violent Femmes
19. Teenage Riot - Sonic Youth
20. Bastards of Young - The Replacements
21. I Know It's Over - The Smiths
22. Here Comes Your Man - Pixies
23. How Soon Is Now - The Smiths
24. Just Like Heaven - The Cure
25. Loser - Beck
26. Common People - Pulp
27. In The City - The Jam
28. Boys and Girls - Blur
29. Alex Chilton - The Replacements
30. Gloria - Patti Smith Group
31. Come As You Are - Nirvana
32. Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode
33. Radio Radio - Elvis Costello
34. Gigantic - Pixies
35. I Wanna Be Adored - The Stone Roses
36. Game of Pricks - Guided By Voices
37. Unsatisfied - The Replacemenst
38. Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
39. Freak Scene - Dinosaur Jr.
40. Enjoy The Silence - Depeche Mode
41. It's The End of the World as We Know It - REM
42. Marquee Moon - Television
43. Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
44. In My Eyes - Minor Threat
45. Where The Streets Have No Name - U2
46. Lust for Life - Iggy Pop
47. Paranoid Android - Radiohead
48. Slack motherfucker - Superchunk
49. Cannonball - The Breeders
50. Live Forever - Oasis

[drworm8]

and they didn't chart any Green Day because....? :mad: If you're going to give a list of historical modern rock, ignoring Dookie is unbelievable. Last year, there were THREE Green Day songs (Longview at #26), and this year they've disappeared.

Primus dropping significantly? The Smiths at number 1?

And I will continue my yearly complaint of the 500 not recognizing Rage Against the Machine or Tool.

As a whole, this year's list was somewhat subpar, though it is still by far my favorite thing WOXY does.

If I expanded my list just a wee it, then "Basket Case" would be in there, maybe at 51. Yeah, no Green Day is a bit odd.

Tool should be in there, but I don't know how high. Rage should have one in the Top 100.

Did 97X ever play Tool? I really don't remember that they did.
