9) Neutral Milk Hotel - Song Against Sex
Oops, sorry! Shoulda read the OP better.
But still, the list needs some Guided By Voices.
8)Kansas-Carry on my wayward son
Song DEFINES 80s music.
e.g freakishly long instrumental solos overshadowing the actual lyrics…
Actually, the “8” spot should be held by
Wild horses-(I’m not sure, but I think his name’s Gi/eno(And for the life of me I can’t figure out his last name!)
But beggars can’t be choosers.

But beggars can’t be choosers, and the song I nominated kicks ass.
Moderators, delete the above post I made, since I wanted to finish saying that.
vibrotronica,
You can post another song now–just not two in a row.
#7 sesame street – “One of these things is not like the others…”
- Yes - Owner of a lonely heart
I’m worried, mouthbreather…
- Morphine - Cure for Pain
- “Web in Front”-- Archers of Loaf
- Built To Spill - Carry The Zero
mouthbreather,
Ha! “One of These Things” does not fit the time limit! (see here.)
Update–
- Neutral Milk Hotel - Song Against Sex
- Kansas - Carry On My Wayward Son
- Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart
- Morphine - Cure for Pain
- Archers of Loaf - Web in Front
- Built to Spill - Carry the Zero
and my nomination
3) The Vaselines - Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam
I can’t believe nobody’s given this one yet, but …
- “The Power of Love” - Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Out of politeness, I think #1 should be Lisa’s pick.
“Carry On Wayward Son” appears on Kansas’s album Leftoverture, which was released in October, 1976. That song is older than 25 years old.
Lisa-go-Blind, you might have to use his other suggestion for #8, “Wild Horses”.
Thank you, Evil Death! I honestly have no clue what number one should be. Something popular? Genre-defining? There’s no Pavement, Beat Happening, Beck, or Guided by Voices on the list.
