rocky, please remember all of us little people as a form of inspiritation when you hit the big time!!......
well straw, your lucid, well-thought-out, cogent rationale for placing London Calling behind the first two releases is completely off the mark....ah, fooled you!.....well, I did buy LC in jan of 1980 partially based on "hoodwink" press, but I really knew very little about them or the LP, so I'm with Mary in that I was not hoodwinked.......shortly therafter I did buy their first 2 LP's and though I liked selected works, they must lacked the versatility and maturing of LC......
So, Straw..as Mary said, your taste in punk is impeccable, but I think we finally found a blind spot!!!!

All these questions are deck Song I recollect form youth- I guess 2 spring foward the first song I can remember hearing is U2 "Where the Streets Have No name" and learning how to play drums when i was 13 to The Velvet Underground's "Waiting for my Man" Good Mood Song- there's so many how about Afghan Whigs"Crazy" Song brings you to Tears- Johnny Cash "I Hung my Head" Song you never want to hear again- Easy "Sweet Home Alabama" I live in Atlanta so why do people feel the need to worship this song. Summer Feeling Song- Underworld"Born Slippy" it's played at just about every summer party I can remember since high school Favorite Air Guitar- Interpol "Pda" always when driving Overated RS board album- Dr. Dre-The Chronic(I've explained this many times good but not classic material)  William Hung final song- Don't know why but the first song I thought of was Snow"Informer" Bathroom Song- Usually whaterver I've been listening to before today was Pretty Girls Make Graves "This Is Our Emergency" Ultimate Sex Song- Entire Sigur Ros albums usually work best but one song I'll say Bjork "Hyperballand right now the choice would be Air "Run" Song to be buried to- back to back I want Moby-"God Moving over the face of the Water" Afgahn Whigs-Crime Scene Pt1 |

WHat a great questionairre! Thanks maarts...and, uh, I hope this board isn't dead now that I've discovered it.
* Which song/piece of music do you recollect very vividly from your youth? Coal Miner's Daughter -- Loretta Lynn
* Which song always puts you in a good mood when you hear it? Do Ya Love Me? -- The Countours
* Which song brings you closest to tears?
When the Roses Bloom Again -- Wilco (and many others. It's usually easy for me to get kind of teary)
* What song you don't want to hear ever again? anything by that fucking Twista. I actually lilke a lot of really questionably bad rap, but he's plain painful.
* Which song do you associate with the ultimate summer feeling? My Girl by The Temptations
* Favourite airguitar-song? Even air-drums or air-keyboard....?? ?? ?
* What song/album which generally is being lauded on the RS-Boards is in your view highly overrated?
I got a copy of Joy Division's Unkown Pleasures, been collecting dust over 2 years now...
* William Hung's in the final of American Idol- which song would you want him to sing? The French alphabet
* What song do you always sing in the bathroom? Show tunes and Neko Case. sometimes hymns. i usually don't get to sing anywhere except the shower these days.
* The ultimate song to have sex to is....? I say Interpol or else another vote for Massive Attack.
* The song that should be played when you are being buried/cremated and represents your life completely....
Bali H'ai from South Pacific, but a concert version by Peggy Lee. It's just about the call of the island winds and waters to the lovers, like the call of the Sirens. anyway, it almost makes you feel like when you die you become part of the sky and ocean and sun and clouds...and that your spirit calls out through the elements. Anyway, it's a lovely thought even if I am stretching it, and perfect for a wake just before having ones ashes tossed off a mountain or whatever.

I dunno why, I just love Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode...
My friends and were at a fair one day when we came along a Christian stall, selling pictures and statues of Jesus... we just HAD to muse, "ya know, we could all buy our own personal Jesus here..."
I know, a lame joke, but come on, it was irresistible... it really did happen though!!!

wake up young man, it's time to wake up
your love affair has got to go
for 10 long years, for 10 long years
the leaves to rake up
slow suicide's no way to go, oh
blue, clouded grey
you're not a crack up
dizzy and weakened by the haze
moving onward
so an infection not a phase
yeah, oh
the cracks and lines from where you gave up
they make an easy man to read, oh
for all the times you let them bleed you
for little peace from god you plead, and beg
for little peace from god you plead
ahhaahh, yeah, ahhaahh, yeah, ahhaahh, yeah
wake up young man, wake up, wake up
wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
oh, yeah
wake up young man, it's time to wake up
your love affair has got to go, yeah
for 10 long years, for 10 long years,
the leaves to rake up
slow suicide's no way to go, oh
slow suicide's no way to go
wake up, wake up, wake up
wake up, wake up, wake up

I always knew they were singing for me. Millions like me, yeah. But me.
Actually got a bit of a dilemma going on.. AIC and Mad Season have been my favourite bands for years. Now that I'm trying to pull myself out of my depression I really can't listen to AIC without it taking me back to that dark place. But I can't just leave them! Sigh.
My course of action has been finding as many new bands as possible, hoping some of them will fill the void and become my new favourite, and a favourite that will be GOOD for me.
