I SAY U DONT KNOW
YOU SAY DONT U KNOW
I SAY WE ALL FLOAT ON
ALRIGHT ALL READY

 

I had a Gotye song submitted and changed it at the last minute haha

 

might block you for saying float on is bad

 

Sorry, did I say bad? I meant horrendously terrible and obnoxious, sorry!!!!

 

As a huge MM fan, I'm pretty neutral on "Float On." I respect it more than I actually enjoy it these days. Far from a bad song, though. Just never the MM single I would reach for, let alone MM songs in general.

 

I almost went with The Verve because that first album is a fantastic piece of 90s shoegaze

 

I had a period where I would never listen to float on but now I enjoy it again. It’s a good song.

 

Float On good

Dashboard good too. I’m not entirely certain I’ve ever heard it prior to like an hour ago, but if the fans are saying it was a popular single I’ll take their word for it

 

Just noticed that In For The Kill is in there. It’s the only La Roux song I know, so assumed that was the one hit wonder.

Saying that, I’ve never heard the original, only ever heard the far superior Skream remix…

 

The La Roux hit here in the states was Bulletproof

 

The Verve definitely aren’t one hit wonders. The Drugs Don’t Work made it to number 1 whilst Bittersweet Symphony only made it to number 2. Lucky Man also made it number 7.

 

None of those charted in the US though haha

 

Which is why one hit wonder rounds will never work!

 

dashboard got a decent amount of play on the local shitty alt rock station here when it came out and I remember the video was on MTVu all the time when it came out.

 

One hit wonder as in I wonder what their one hit actually was.

 

Should do a no hit wonder round. I could play Bad Bunny, arguably one of the biggest names in music. In the UK, he’s never had one of his own songs reach the top 10.

 

Feels like the next round is basically gonna be a no hit wonder round in its own way lol

 

Side note: We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank is easily my favorite Modest Mouse album and nothing else they've done even comes close to it in my opinion.

 

Also completely off topic, for anyone who liked the High Vis song I submitted in round 1, their record came out today and it rules

 

it's an interesting round because I think there are two angles to take. The first is what I think the main goal is, which is a modern artist who is relatively unknown, and showcasing them. I have also noticed though, that SO many scene bands or artists from 20 years ago, they have low counts now too because they are inactive and never were huge, so there are a ton of bands I used to listen to a lot that fit, but I think I am going with something more modern

 

Listening right now!

 

I checked out the high vis record and while I liked it I think mind’s a lie is easily the stand out track

 

Fair take! I’m really loving the whole thing but Mind’s A Lie is definitely the only song that incorporates all of the things that it does

 

It’s definitely a solid record but I have a feeling instead of coming back to it as a hole I’ll be adding that song to a lot of playlists.

 

This playlist whips, I even kinda dug the Paris Hilton song.
