You’re right, cos it wasn’t clearly meant as a joke or anything.
if i were beyonce, i’d be pretty insulted by this. fucking fleet foxezzzz are the most boring band to get wide exposure in a while
you’re the first person to ever have that thought. moron.
Ah, right. indie rock = good. anything else = bad. now i get it.
“…doing something embarrassing like working with Timbaland”
uh, except Timbaland is about 100X as relevant and talented as you are. shut up and go away forever please, Billy.
Ugh, you’re right. Totally should have been higher. So good.
hahahahaahahahhah SHUT UP you fucking twelve year old. it’s not underground enuf!!!!1!
Aside from the obvious and terrible #1 pick, the top ten is a LOT better than the list as a whole, which kinda sucks.
I disagree. It’s probably more accessible, but it hardly captures the band’s core aesthetic.
good god, i thought it was a red hot chili peppers cover album for a second
sign me up
uh, i hope that’s not actually the Fleet Foxes dude. If it is, you’re walking the thin line between sincere self-deprication (which can be endearing) and calculated, outright self-pity (which is rather unbecoming). i agree with you that the album wasn’t good, but at least stand by what you’ve created.
i dunno, enumeration the ways in which he was wrong sounds good
what?
1) they’ve been getting ubiquitous recognition since 2007.
2) how did they sell out? i mean, the album wasn’t any good, but so what if they made some money?
uh, he killed it guys. of course, this is about the only song worth anything on the record.
is this a re-do from the other #2?
stephen, you’re a fucking clown. no, you could not write a better song than “Single Ladies.”
anyway, a good number of these people indeed do suck, but beyonce is not among them.
this list isn’t that terrible. i’m glad real emotional trash and skeletal lamping are on it. Nos 12-10 are kinda wtf, along with a couple of other curious choices, but all in all it could have been a lot worse
you’ve figured it all out! way to go!
also, shut up.
what’s shovanistic?
you’re right, but it’s mostly due to the fact they’ve made two of the decade’s best albums of the past couple years.
*MAKES GENERIC COMMENT, BRIEFLY REFERS TO A RESPECTED INDIE ALBUM, WAITS FOR COMMENT TO BE VOTED UP*
dude, it’s very clear that you are rather unfamiliar with a lot of music. it’s cool that you like a certain kind of music rather exclusively, but it just means that you just aren’t gonna know what you’re talking about concerning certain stuff. someday you’ll realize there’s more music out there than indie music (i’m writing this as an indie fan!), and it’s going to be a great day for you. best of luck getting there.
Well said, and you’re OTM about it being a poor example of their craft because well, it’s a classic Jenkins melody (and to tell you the truth, the lyrics IN THEORY aren’t that far off from his usual way of going about things). It just doesn’t work that well, and it means nothing more to me than that. It’s an admirable failure, though, because in the end it’s just plain funny and silly and fun.
That said, I don’t have a problem with Stereogum running the original post about the song being bad, because that’s their job as a music blog. A little snarky, but that’s cool, and it was funny. At least they took an actual opinion on the matter; my problem lay with the 100+ people whose comments more or less boiled down to “lol radio band CREED.” It’s a little depressing that so few people were capable of 1) thinking for themselves or 2) any kind of analysis or perspective. It’s cool though, and I realize these threads aren’t meant for actual discourse 90% of the time.
“happy, feel good song”
