So, you name a band and write your 15 favorite songs. The catch is - the last letter of the 15th song by the poster right before you has to be the first letter of the 1st song of the band you choose. So basically, the song chooses the band.
Example: if there is God forbid a poor soul out there who has California as their 15th favourite U2 song (let's ignore the brackets please) and if the next guy's favorite Passengers song is A Different Kind of Blue, voila.
I shall commence with Yo La Tengo, with brief comments for the first 3 songs:
1. Blue Line Swinger - How to make a simple, catchy melody and then do a fantastic, noisy 9-minute jam out of it with beautiful Georgia Hubley vocals in-between? This is how!
2. Damage - Tons of atmosphere in this song, largely thanks to Ira's feedback. Great lyrics.
3. Our Way To Fall - The most beautiful opening in their catalogue. For a sweet love song, it doesn't get corny at all.
4. Big Day Coming
5. I Heard You Looking
6. We're an American Band
7. Green Arrow
8. Pass the Hatchet, I Think I'm Goodkind
9. More Stars Than There Are in Heaven
10. Don't Have To Be So Sad
11. Deeper Into Movies
12. Sudden Organ
13. Nowhere Near
14. Drug Test
15. Detouring America With Horns

Wait... is Passengers a U2 album? And who the fuck would have A Different Kind of Blue as their favorite?
