I’ll read the others after I’ve responded to the thread, so my list isn’t coloured by everyone else’s ideas.

(BTW, great thread idea JBW - not meaning to push you or anything, but if you ever felt like resurrecting the 6@6, I’d be up for it)

**My List** :  
Architecture in Helsinki - Souvenirs  
Beyoncé - Crazy in Love  
Elvis Costello - Welcome To The Working Week  
Death Cab For Cutie - Photobooth  
Eminem - Business  
Fountains of Wayne - Utopia Parkway  
Get Up Kids - Mass Pike  
Hüsker Dü - Don’t Want To Know If You’re Lonely  
Interpol - Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down  
Jimmy Eat World - Goodbye Sky Harbor  
Kid 606 - Never Underestimate The Value Of A Holler  
Lucksmiths - Music To Hold Hands To  
Mates Of State - Everyone Needs An Editor  
New Order - Temptation  
Outkast - Rosa Parks  
Public Enemy - Terminator X  
Queens Of The Stone Age - The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret  
Radiohead - Kid A  
Smashing Pumpkins - To Forgive  
They Might Be Giants - Ana Ng  
Underworld - Born Slippy  
Velvet Underground - Stephanie Says  
Weezer - Tired Of Sex  
XTC - Dear God  
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps  
Zwan - Lyric

I took the attitude that I can’t possibly cover everything that I love, so I might as well offer up a nearly random mix of the old and new and the pop and the alternative

This is probably my favorite song this year, which is weird since I can’t stand any of the other songs by this band.

**Hüsker Dü** - Yeah, I’d have to say it’s up there in my favourites for the year, too. It just sounds so real, which is pretty much the opposite of every other YYY song you’ll hear.

Despite that, I do like YYY. At first I thought as you did, but this song, and a few others, like Y-Control and No, No, No have begun to turn me around. I’m really thinking I’ll buy the album when I get some money.

(P.S - your list rocks! Great taste.)

I had totally written off Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, among with several other hip bands from New York, as all fashion, no passion. Which admittedly shows my prejudice towards any band featured on the cover of NME.

But sometimes you can be surprised.

I have to agree with you **gex gex** and admit that Y-Control is also a great song. It is if as they really matured from flaccid crotch grabbing nü-garage rock to… well, something completley different on those last tracks on the album. Let’s just hope they continue from where they left off on their next venture, I think it could be pretty exciting.

(P.S - your list rocks as well!)

Thanks. btw, you’re in the northern Virginia area, aren’t you? You should come to a dopefest sometime.

I was going strong from my own collection up until about U. Then I had to do some research for the last few letters. X and Z in particular were tough to find.

I COULD just say “they suck” and leave it at that 😃

However, I’ll be a BIT more serious. Fact is, X is a pretty pathetic letter of the alphabet. I mean, even with Z, I had to do some thinking (plenty of good ZZTop, Zombies, Zappa, and Zevon songs to choose from). Even Q wasn’t a no brainer.

But heck, there were DOZENS of fantastic Beatles, Byrds, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Bad Company, Beach Boys, Jeff Beck, Buffalo Springfield (yadda yadda yadda) songs I had to pass over for B.

There were LOADS of great songs by Cream, the Cars, Cheap Trick and the Cure that I had to leave off.

There were dozens of deserving songs by artists starting with almost every letter of the alphabet! Dozens of deserving songs that I couldn’t put on the list.

After all that, I’m supposed to settle for an X or XTC song that doesn’t suck quite as hard as all their others? Sorry, I Can’t do that. It’s a matter of principle.

Oh… but I notice I never said which Who song I picked for the W… make it “A Legal Matter.”

I almost went with “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” from “The Fillmore Concerts,” but realized I already had a few long, live jams, plus I already had Duane doing “Loam Me A Dime,” and anything else would be a bit of overkill.

Wow some great playlists here. Some are familiar to - others are more obscure than qaudrangle theorums.

I’m going to be very delicate & vague with word selection here. More specifically, this goes to:[ul][li]ultrafilter[_]Crusoe[_]Skerri[_]Hüsker Düde[_]nitroglycerine[_]threeorange[_]Monkey Chews[_]HowieReynolds[_]gex gex[_]5 time champ[_]dbygawdcapn[_]bluecanary[_]ExpiringMind[/ul][/li]  
To varying degrees, you all listed tracks I’ve never heard or been exposed to.

_IF_ the same holds true with my playlist, _AND_ the words **barter** and **burn** mean anything to you, take it off the boards and e-mail me.
