Top 3 songs of the year
« on: 22 Dec 2004, 08:26 »
In order, #1 being your favorite. Doesn't have to be a song released this year, just one you havent heard until this year. No runners up or "this almost made the list"'s.

1) Atreyu - The Remeberence Ballad - This entire album (The Curse) fills me with that inspired rage and anger that makes you remember what good emotional music is like. This song is probably the most powerful to me, and it helps to motivate me and my new direction in life. It's not for everyone, but it's certainly for me.

2) Modest Mouse - Bukowski - Lyrical Genius. Pure and and Simple.

3) The Decemberists - The Bachelor and The Bride - "No, I, I will box your ears, and take your tears, and leave you, leave you here...stripped bare."

1) Big D and the Kids Table - LAX (Its always fun to listen to a 4 minute tirade about how much LA sucks. And seeing this song performed live anywhere on the East Coast is like a religious experience. "we're built up from nothing")
2)Mannequin - Oh Well (So catchy and so rocking at the same time. Its like the perfect kind of music for me.)
3) Pig Destroyer - Pretty in Casts (It summed up a lot of my feelings about love and need that I had floating around. "maybe she'll snap her wrists doing cartwheels or her ankle dancing drunken at some rave maybe she'll go through a windshield and have twinkling bits of glass stuck in her face she's so pretty in her casts damaged so perfectly she's so pretty in her casts the prettiest thing I've ever seen I only get to hold her when she's injured I only get to kiss her where she's sore")

1) The Postal Service - Such Great Hights
One of those songs I just cant stop listening to, over and over. The lyrics both inspire me and helps my mood (which is needed quite bad at the moment). Get number one since its the one that has the biggest effect on me right now.

2)José Gonzàlez - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Think most of you know of this song in its original form by Joy Division. I acctaully heard the cover first and fell in love with it. Simple version of it that I can help singing along to. If you can find this one give it a try!

3)I am Kloot - Proof
Another song that works like number one. Nr 2 mood improver right now (and will be for quite a while I think).

And I want to add another song so bad. SO bad but I will try to follow the restrictions even how much it hurts :(

as much as I hate those awful "capcha" image things for authenticating humanity, I think we might actually benefit from one in the sign-up process somewhere

this is getting ridiculous

Also I would like to point out that the combination of Sailor Moon and faux-Kerouac / Sonic Youth spelling is perhaps the purest distillation of what this forum is that we have yet been presented with.

1. Torrentz - Keep All Your Promises

2. Sage Francis - The Best of Times

3. Bomb The Music Industry! - You Still Believe In Me?

These are just the first three that came to mind. It's really hard to choose, but these are some of my favorites from this year for sure.

Regardless, my top three are:

Kanye West - Power
The National - England
Menomena - Tithe

1. The Wonder Years -- Logan Circle: A New Hope (although I have to say The Upsides was the best album I've heard in years, every single song is better than solid).
2. Four Year Strong -- It Must Really Suck to be Four Year Strong Right Now
3. The Gaslight Anthem -- The Diamond Street Choir

We have a Captcha system in place, but unfortunately Captcha and reCaptcha are both compromised, as far as I can tell.  Considering that this was written back in 2004 I'm sure there's far more sophisticated methods around to get through them by now.

I'm too lazy to think, so according to iTunes, the 2010 releases I listened to the most were:

1. The High Road, Broken Bells - 67 plays
2t. Shy, A Sunny Day In Glasgow - 53 plays
2t. The Best Treasure Stays Buried, Zoey Van Goey - 53 plays

I'm very surprised at that list. Of those three, the ZvG song is my favorite.

One of my favorite 2010 songs that isn't anywhere near my most played (strangely) is Postal Blowfish by Albert Hammond Jr.

Would we be able to at least disable new thread creation before something like 5 or 10 posts? Granted, a lot of bots seem to post in existing threads, but it's an option nonetheless.

Spam threads are getting removed efficiently, though, so you don't really suffer.  In any case, more than half of them are created in the Hi I'm New  forum, for some reason.

Also there is a thriving industry of "Human Captcha Breakers". Basically people in India and other places are paid to sit at home and break captchas all day long.
