Re: Biggest Fan - April 2020
Georges Brassens - Marinette: 5
It has a nice bounce to it, but there is something about chansons that puts me off. Something about the singing style.
The Alarm - Sixty Eight Guns: 7
For an eighties synth pop song this seems rather unusual, with it's various shifts and segments. It comes close to being both a great pop piece and an epic mood song, but it has dated just a little too much to really reach extraordinary heights. It comes close though and perhaps it might grow on me.

460. The Velvet Underground – Lisa Says
Year: 1974/ 1985*
Album: 1969: Velvet Underground Live with Lou Reed/ VU*
Biggest Fan: Brad (#143)
*This is a rare case were a live version was released much earlier than the studio cut, as this track already appeared on the 1969 live record, while the studio version appeared on the outtakes album VU. I went for the studio cut for the playlist. If Brad disagrees, please let me know.
Don’t forget you can always vote for earlier songs or change your vote!

Re: Biggest Fan - April 2020
453. Animotion - Obsession: 6 - not a bad 80s synth pop song for once !
454. M83 - Run Into Flowers - 8
455. Keiichi Suzuki & Hirokazu Tanaka - Inakunarinasai (A.k.a. Pokey Means Business): 7 - Yeah, the change @ 0:53 is epic
456. World Party - Take It Up: 7
457. Gorillaz – Rhinestone Eyes: 7
458. Georges Brassens - Marinette: 5
459. The Alarm – Sixty Eight Guns: 6 - I don't see a synth pop act here, more a punk band who dabbles into mainstream. The second part of the song is odd.
460. The Velvet Underground – Lisa Says - 6 - not the best song from the classic album.

Disagree with Spiritualized. Alright, perhaps it's not the best song on the album, but one of the best among many great ones.

Tempted to round this up to help offset the predictably low "I'm anti-VU!" scores but hey someone's gotta keep it real.
Yes, Rob - this is the version I adhere to. A beautiful song. Chuck Berry was once almost misheard to say this was the greatest song ever written!

Damn, these lyrics are depressing. They really warrant the artless singing style. It all just hits like a punch.

Year: 1980
Album: Holiday ‘80
Biggest Fan: Moonbeam (#736)

Not a fan of this type of pop at all. I think it's those cho-o-o-o-ruses.

Top Velvet's track! Should have been on a proper album. I guess it was too poppy for experimental/noise that was White Heat/White Light.
461. The Hotelier – Your Deep Rest - 5
The screaming of every last word in each line kinda kills me a bit...
462. The Human League - Marianne: 5
Gotta say that M83 are one of a handful of bands that I actually prefer their new stuff to their old

Like Rob, I also love the chorus on this one. One of my favourite Gorillaz songs and one of all-time top tracks of the 2010's.

463. Peter Brötzmann – Machine Gun 2/10.
I sense that this will be quite polarising. I really don't get this. One could easily (I think) put a few 7 years old with 3 saxophones, a drum kit and a piano and let them loose. The result would amount to the same pile of rubbish (sorry sonofsamiam)
1 point for sheer balls though.

The Human League - Marianne: 6
Outside of Don't You Want Me this band never really does anything to me. This one has a nice hook, but I'm not sure if I'll really remember it long after today.
Peter Brötzmann - Machine Gun: 7
Well, it's certainly an acquired taste. When it started today I was really annoyed that I was going to have to listen to this noise three times today: that's almost an hour combined. I could listen to an album in that time. However, it proved a blessing in disguise as I spread out the three listens over the day. The first time I wondered if it was something I could like in a particular mood. The second time I was particularly not in the mood. The third time, though: yes, I was. It finally clicked. Not the whole thing, but the song beneath the onslaught of whatever is happening here was revealed and I could get into it. Not something I will probably feel the need to listen to most of the time, but I'm glad it exists.
Something to note: knowing that this was made in 1968 makes Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music seem far less radical.
Also noteworthy: this song and it's album do very well on Rate Your Music. It's far less divisive there.

Re: Biggest Fan - April 2020
I like "The Sound Of The Crowd" better than DYWM.
Only because it rarely rated by people who are not already familiar with it. I submit that if you got most people to rate this thing it would be ones and twos all over the place. Even here where we are all much more open minded than normal listeners it already has a few ones and twos.

Machine Gun...bless the people who can see something in this song. I try to be open-minded, but it's a no for me. I give it a 3. Still better than Welcome to My Life.

Re: Biggest Fan - April 2020
Oh, I don't doubt that it would score much, much lower with a 'regular' audience, but still a placement around #1000 of all time seems very high for something this extreme. Open-mindedness only gets you so far. Besides, although Machine Gun is not a mainstream household name by any stretch of the imagination, it has appeared on enough lists and in reference books to be something the music connoisseur could know about it.Hymie wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 8:52 pm

For a band with roots in the metal scene, they do tranquil instrumentals very well. There is a lot of atmosphere in this one.

Funkadelic – I’ll Bet You: 8
Certainly Funkadelic had no other point than proving that they were the coolest band ever? They come mightily close here, because this song has it all: it rocks, it grooves and oozes atmosphere. Too bad it peters out at the end, otherwise it would be a big, fat 9.
Certainly Funkadelic had no other point than proving that they were the coolest band ever? They come mightily close here, because this song has it all: it rocks, it grooves and oozes atmosphere. Too bad it peters out at the end, otherwise it would be a big, fat 9.

My friend is a singer (Tommy Shider) and he formed a doo wop group in the 1980s and named them The Sheps, after his favorite singer, James "Shep" Sheppard, lead singer of the Heartbeats and of Shep and the Lijmelites. Here's Tommy pn thye lead here doing a 5 Keys hit from the 50s.

By now Zombeels has been forgotten by Random.org and it is Nassim who is challenging Hymie’s throne.

464. Opeth - Windowpane : 8 - not exactly fond of the Yngwie Malmsteen solo bridge, but the rest (singing, bass line, even synths !) is top notch.
465. Funkadelic – I’ll Bet You : 7
466. Mourn – Your Brain Is Made of Candy : 7 Good Spanish Indie-Rock, I quite enjoy the accent.

A very decent indie song, but once it really gets going it stops.
