Rock n' Roll Doggie ALL ACCESS
This is my first time venturing into this area of Interference. So if I'm out of line posting this thread, just lemme know.
Every since 2003 I have done a best of list. Some years magical, some years a bit dissapointing. It gets a little harder each year as I get older and have less time to listen and more responsibilities in other areas of life.
I want to try and harness the power of the great people here to help me add 2 or 3 more great songs to my list this year.
First a little about my taste. I despise 90% of what Pitchfork praises. I love the other 10%. I like well done, concise songs. I like songs with melodies. I like singers with good voices. I like voices that convey emotion. I am not into noise-rock, grind-core, 10 minute ambient-electro, etc... Also not a hip hop guy even though i can appreciate some select stuff.
I like indie rock, indie pop, some alt-country type stuff stuff, some folk, and even more mainstream rock/alternative type stuff.
I have a hard time when songs get past the 5 minute mark. To me, it has to be extraordinary for me to listen consistently to a 6 minute or longer piece of music. This is what is holding me back from War on Drugs at the moment, but I'm working on getting past it. LOL
Anyway, here is my current list. I usually like 15 tracks, and i'm stuck at 12. Although I am quite happy with these 12 this year.
Hunger Of The Pine - Alt-J
Peaches - In The Valley Below
Shut In - Strand of Oaks
The Devil Is All Around - Shovels & Rope
Do You - Spoon
Marry Me Archie - Alvvays
Wide Eyes - New Pornographers
My Wrecking Ball - Live on Conan O'Brien - Ryan Adams
Happy Alone - Saintseneca
Every Time the Sun Comes Up - Sharon Van Etten
The Troubles - U2
I Decline - Perfume Genius
All help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
p.s. - This is the first time I've put a U2 song on any of my lists.
