Friday, October 05, 2018
Gnarls Barkley, "Crazy". Grammy winner. Pazz & Jop winner. Best song of the year in Rolling Stone.
Amy Winehouse, "Rehab". Three-time Grammy winner. Pazz & Jop winner. She said she wouldn't go to rehab. How's that work out?
Hot Chip, "Over and Over". I'm getting old, Exhibit A: I've never heard of these guys.
Ghostface Killah, "Shakey Dog". OK, I know this one. Christgau gave the album an A+.
The Hold Steady, "Stuck Between Stations". First line namechecks Sal Paradise.
Pink, "U + Ur Hand". I'm not here for your entertainment.
The Raconteurs, "Steady As She Goes". By 2006, Jack White's presence meant a band was called a "Supergroup".
Cat Power, "The Greatest". She was already a veteran, having released her first song 13 years earlier.
Lupe Fiasco, "Kick Push". On the other hand, this was his first single.
Bruce Springsteen, "O Mary Don't You Weep". First recorded in 1915. No, not by Bruce.
