Let's get back to this!

People who played the sadly currently on hiatus Biggest Fan Albums might remember Science Rock by Schoolhouse Rock!, as nominated by prosecutorgodot. There is more where that came from. There were seven series exact. Today we present one of the songs from the America Rock series. I don’t think there exists an album release of that one, though I might be wrong. The song is on YouTube though. On Spotify you can also find a cover by Pavement (yes, that Pavement), but that is not what we are voting for here.

189. Schoolhouse Rock! – No More Kings
Year: 1975
Series: Schoolhouse Rock! – America Rock
Biggest Fan: prosecotorgodot (#147)
YouTube-link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZs3g ... esseejed93

Schoolhouse Rock! – No More Kings: 5
I wanted to give this a 10 originally, but when I posted it I got an immediate message from King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands that if I value my own health I should at least half that score, so here we are.

189. Schoolhouse Rock! – No More Kings - 3
I have a lot of quibbles with the oversimplification and propaganda of the song, but I also understand this is for children and I think it does a good job of explaining some history to a 7 year old.
Would I listen to this? No.

Spank Rock - Bump: 7
Has a rather old school hip-hop vibe, meaning even early eighties, but with some modern sensibilities. Pretty cool and fun.

You may think every album by Pink Floyd from the sixties and seventies did get enough attention, but there is one that rarely gets talked about. Obscured by Clouds. Probably because it is a soundtrack. To a film with a different title, no less. If you want to see the film, look for La Vallée. Want to hear one of the songs though, look no further than styrofoamboots pick for today.

191. Pink Floyd – Wot’s… Uh the Deal
Year: 1972
Album: Obscured by Clouds
Biggest Fan: styrofoamboots (#896)

186. Utopia – Singring and the Glass Guitar (An Electrified Fairy Tale): 2
Not a big fan of punk rock, but if there ever was a reason for it to be invented, look right here.
187: MGMT – Flash Delirium: 5
188: Methyl Ethel - "No. 28": 7.5
189. Schoolhouse Rock! – No More Kings: 4
Kind of funny as a cartoon, but the song itself is just a simple tune and not really worth listening out of context.

Ten by Pearl Jam is of course a big popular classic, but it’s final track, the longest one, is not talked about much. Maverick470 wants to bring it back to your attention again. What do you think?

192. Pearl Jam - Release
Year: 1991
Album: Ten
Biggest Fan: maverick470 (#324)

So, a little note to my previous post. Release isn't that long; I had completely forgotten about the hidden track called Master/Slave that's part of the song on Spotify. I guess we only vote for the Release part and not the hidden track.

Pink Floyd – Wot’s… Uh the Deal: 8
A rather traditional ballad for this band, yet it still has a big sweep and a lot of atmosphere. I didn't know this one yet, despite having heard most of Pink Floyd of the seventies many times. A welcome new discovery.

Pearl Jam - Release: 6
No wonder that I actually forget about this song from Ten, as it really isn't its highlight. Nowadays it feels like a standard Pearl Jam track. Not bad, but not one of the songs to specifically seek out from that record if you ask me.

As an aside, I never understood the "hidden track" trend. What was the point? They only served to frustrate, imo.

Agreed, it was never more than a gimmick really. And too often those tracks are the least worthy ones too.

Like the album it is from this song is not bad, but instantly forgettable.

NOFX – Idiots Are Taking Over: 6
With the song title, the album's title and it supposedly topical theme I expected something dangerous. Instead it is rather poppy punk reminiscent of Green Day at their most bratty.

Spiritualized had to pause his Biggest Fan Albums game recently, but luckily we can still find entries of his in this game. The next one is a indie rock song, as is typical for him. Hope you are doing okay out there, Spiritualized!

Hiya Rob,
I'm doing OK thanks, it really is just a hiatus to refocus on the important things in life.
Job stressed me to the hilt and I needed a bit of a break from the commitments I had otherwise to spend time with my family and find a new job.
Getting there, though. I will no doubt catch up at some point. But with a new job next week and school starting next month, a kid being on the shortlist to work in Japan for a year, it's not over yet !
