IdRatherBeSkiing's Top 20 (Sunday, June 21st, 2020 version)

[sadchild]

It's A Shame About Ray - The Lemonheads
Mrs. Robinson - The Lemonheads

Great album start to finish (except for "My Drug Buddy"). Some good b-sides on the "Drug Buddy" EP too.

You Don't Know How It Feels - Tom Petty

I like this song, except for the blatant 'smoke put while you drive' line.

 

[HecticArt]

It's A Shame About Ray - The Lemonheads
Mrs. Robinson - The Lemonheads

Good stuff.

The Charlatans UK

I liked the Charlatans. They were almost my last choice for the Forgotten Albums thread.

Cassette AW is a collection of Crash Test Dummies songs + Joey by Concrete Blonde to fill the space.

Cassette AX Recorded 1996/06/29
AX and AY took some repeats from past cassettes and mixed in some newer stuff. AZ was then a greatest hits of these 2.

Side 1
I'll Be There for You - The Rembrandts
All I Wanna Do - Sheryl Crow
Common People - Pulp
So Low - Self
Boy or a Girl - Imperial Drag
Pepper - Butthole Surfers
Alright - Cast
Morning Glory - Oasis
Lump - Presidents of the United States of America
Glycerine - Bush
Truth Untold - The Odds
Wonderwall - Oasis
Untitled Track 6 - Oasis
Untitled Track 11 - Oasis
These 2 added to fill out blank 90 secs at end of cassette. I hated blank space/silence on a cassette. So I would try to fill with music regardless of quality based upon length once you got below what you need for a good song. Whatever is left I would fill with the intro to one of the songs on the cassette. It would just cut off when it reached the leader.

Side 2
Disco 2000 - Pulp
Charmless Man - Blur
Banditos - The Refreshments
Don't Dream Its Over - Crowded House
Ten Story Love Song - The Stone Roses
I Kissed a Girl - Jill Sobule
A Common Disaster - Cowboy Junkies
Peaches - Presidents of the United States of America
One of Us - Joan Osborne
Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead
Angel Mine - Cowboy Junkies
Eat My Brain - The Odds
Now I Know - Cowboy Junkies

Extras:
Creep - Radiohead

 

[sadchild]

There's a bunch on there I don't know. I'll have to listen to them later, when I have the chance. I especially want to hear the Odds songs since I've long liked "Heterosexual Man" from them.

Banditos - The Refreshments

Of the 8 or so songs on there I didn't know, this one is my fav. Gots to get me a copy.

 

[HecticArt]

It’s a fun one.

You have to respect the song writing when they can include Captain Jean Luc Picard.

More **** songs:

Angel of the Morning - Juice Newton

My first exposure to Al. Can't take a bus ride without thinking of him now.



Arms of Mary - Chilliwack

 

[sadchild]

Angel of the Morning - Juice Newton

I prefer "Love's Been A Little Bit" over this one. And I still hear "Just brush my teeth before you leave me..."

Anna Begins - Counting Crows

Beauty. Great story about commitment (I think, anyway).

Another One Bites The Dust - Queen

Classic.

Another One Rides The Bus - "Weird Al" Yankovic

"He's gonna sit by YOU!" So fun

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I won't be keeping the cassette list or the **** up or the top 10s up while in Saskatoon. I may post something that comes to me in this thread. So before I go, here is a bonus set of **** entries.

Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie



Automobile - Hansie
A true one hit wonder. Heard it in the beginning of my rock phase in early 1980.



Back On My Feet Again - The Babys
Another 1980 entry.



Bad Side of the Moon - April Wine
Yes, I like April Wine



Barracuda - Heart

 

[sadchild]

Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie

My first exposure to David Bowie (knowing who it was) was this video (if I heard him earlier, it was just hearing a song with no clue who it was). Liked it then and still do.

Barracuda - Heart

One of those songs again where I'm in the minority ("Rock Lobster", anything from The Doors) that I don't like it but many people consider it a classic.

 

[HecticArt]

Another One Bites The Dust - Queen

The guitar has a great funky vibe going on that I really dig.

Another One Rides The Bus - "Weird Al" Yankovic
My first exposure to Al. Can't take a bus ride without thinking of him now.

This one always cracked me up.

Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie

My first exposure to David Bowie (knowing who it was) was this video (if I heard him earlier, it was just hearing a song with no clue who it was). Liked it then and still do.

I think this video was my first exposure to Bowie too. It was so weird, I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on, but I was really drawn in.

Barracuda - Heart

One of those songs again where I'm in the minority ("Rock Lobster", anything from The Doors) that I don't like it but many people consider it a classic.

I still like it.
