Queens of the Stone Age! I'm surprised you mentioned those songs from them that I don't even know. I worship Into the Hollow, Make It Wit Chu, Suture Up Your Future, Auto Pilot and In The Fade
The Killers-thats a great song there. My personal favourites are Mr. Brighside and Spaceman.
Tv on the Radio I love that album!
Californication And I had never seen that video, it's so original! "Marry me girl, be my fairy to the world!"
That Nine Inch Nails song Closer blew my mind. Thank you for sharing! And Beck-Cellphone's Dead is pretty nice as well.
You know what? No introduction, let's get right to it!
Okay, guys. It's time to put out a new album. Getting back together to do live shows is nice, but we need new material. This isn't like Rage Against the Machine, where we fear their music won't be as charged and as powerful as it once was. You guys are SOUNDGARDEN. You were born to create powerful songs. Hell, look at the song that's #80 on this list. "Spoonman" is simply power on top of power, perfecting the Soundgarden sound once and for all. Why can't you try to see if you can top it? I mean, listen to this incredibly badass solo, guys! Listen to how enthusiastic and booming Chris Cornell's vocals are, perhaps the best they have ever been! Look, I know that you've talked about going into the studio and recording a new album, but there's a difference between saying you will and just doing it. In other words, JUST DO IT ALREADY!
As much as I still love the Smashing Pumpkins, there's no denying that the Pumpkins today are just Billy Corgan and his ever-rotating backing band. This is not really a bad thing, I guess, other than it being false advertising. As long as the music is still great (and it is), it doesn't really bother me. What's the point of this discussion? Why do I bring all of this up? Because this song was the last gasp of the Pumpkins before they became Corgan and the Backers, the last glimpse of greatness from one of the greatest bands of all time. It takes a LOT to stand out in a discography that is full of powerful and beautiful tunes, but "The Everlasting Gaze" stands out because it is MORE powerful than the other songs and can be just as beautiful at times as their most beautiful songs. The chorus still sends chills down my spine, and the last 60 seconds are a blast of sound that still sounds as effective today as it first did 12 years ago.
This is the first of three appearances for the band that I have lovingly referred to as the "Scary German Band", but the ironic thing is that their first two appearances on this top 100 are not even that scary. I mean, yeah, "Wo Bist Du?" can sound very ominous at times, but it's much more of a ballad than your standard Rammstein fare. Even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can feel the power and sorrow in Till Lindemann's vocals as well as the instruments. I could say that this song is their saddest and bleakest song, and it certainly is bleak, but that would be a disservice to another song higher up on the list. Even still, "Wo Bist Du?" is perfect for those times when you feel lost or depressed and need something even more depressing.
And the ultra-depressing hits keep on coming! It's become fun to rip apart Coldplay over the years for many. I, however, have always liked their sound, ranging from the uplifting "Clocks" to the powerful "Fix You" to the soaring "Viva la Vida". But none of their songs have engaged me quite like "Trouble". Even if you detest Coldplay and want to rip Chris Martin's vocal chords out, you can't help but feel engaged by this song. The song is so universal that I'm amazed it wasn't a big hit. I bet you that it would have been huge had it been released after "Viva la Vida". One quick note: this song is at its most engaging after a break-up, when you feel lower than dirt and wonder what went wrong. It was this engagement that caused me to fall in love with it so much when it was first released, and it was this engagement that continues to entrap me to this day.
First, a quick question: Which artist has the most appearances in the top 100? Yeah, you probably guessed Muse, and you would be right. But the artist with the second-most appearances is also a band from the United Kingdom...and they're kind of a big deal. The biggest band of all time makes their first of MANY appearances with a quiet and quaint Lennon tune that serves as one of The Beatles' best love songs. And remember, this is The BEATLES we are talking about here. They turned the love song into an art form, so when I say that a song of theirs is one of their best love songs, it means a lot. What sets this apart from the normal Beatles love song is that it's not a love of a girl, like you would expect. Instead, it's a love of John Lennon's childhood and how much he misses it. Rubber Soul, in general, was the first Beatles album to try and branch out from that traditional love song formula, and this is the best song from that legendary album.
And 80-76 is through and through. We reach the top 75 tomorrow with songs 75-71, featuring an artist just featured in the set above, the only appearance of a musical god, the second appearance of a metal giant, and not one but TWO appearances by a certain trio of awesome guys. See you then!
Red is a lazy individual. He will probably continue in approximately 2 months.
Well, it won't be in two months, but I hope to have an update up soon. I don't know why THIS set is causing such a roadblock, but I guess I haven't been in the mood to do much since I got home from college.
Trust me, this ISN'T dead, though. At least not yet.

Sophomore year I would sing it in the street when walking home with my friend
