I'm trying to save 1/10 for song that are legitimately harmful to society rather than just deeply aggravating to me personally, but maybe I'm being too nice.

Full disclosure: I would probably also like it if the song was any good at all.

You better be careful addressing these comments at someone who's got New Jack's number in his phone. http://grantland.com/features/new-jack-violent-wrestler-retired-ecw/

"Reflections" would probably be a 10 too.

I like it but I don't love it. Mostly I remember trying to listen to it on my Discman when I was taking the bus to work, and listening to Blood Brothers on the Baltimore MTA was not a pleasant experience. (I think that's why I don't really fuck with Pig Destroyer, too.) But their live show around that time was fuckin nuts and life-affirming. I don't know who the greatest hardcore band of all time is cuz I don't really believe in canons. But my favorite is Avail.

I don't, but I already wrote up the movie: https://film.avclub.com/the-matrix-hacked-hollywood-upgrading-american-action-1798261062

Look, sometimes you're looking at a setlist from last night at 9 in the damn morning and your brain doesn't make all the connections.

"That's Life" made it to #4 earlier in 1966, which is pretty fucking impressive too.

I like them, but part of liking them is making fun of them imo.

They figured things out by the time I was born. My grandfather was always nice to me. Had great war stories, did a fun rahhr-I'm-a-monster thing in his pool, took me to Six Flags. And I've got my own complicated things with my own dad. That little anecdote wasn't intended as an indictment of my grandfather, though it definitely seems like that was a terrible thing. It's more an indication of how culture-war bullshit could tear families apart then, just as it can now.

At least five of these songs are going to get an 8 or higher.

Amazing Grace is their worst album, and Amazing Grace rules. "Lord Let It Rain On Me" is the type of shit I want played at my funeral.

They come from that world, and the first album is more straight-up hardcore. But yeah, there's a '90s noise-rock thing going on here.

This week's race was, for me, a really close one between Troye Sivan and Thou, which is a real apples-and-chunks-of-burning-sulphur contest.

Counterpoint: "It Was a Very Good Year" is a great fucking song.

I didn't say hi even tho I was about 2 feet away. It was a total mob scene, and also it was the end of the weekend and I just wanted to get out of there and go sleep.

That book is great, and I say that as a total non-Beatles head. Read it because I knew I'd have to write about all these songs and it really helped put a lot of this music in perspective for me. (You guys are still going to be really mad when I get to some of those later Beatles reviews tho.)

Never forget that the SINGLE from the album was Canibus rapping from the point of view of a sperm. I should've known what I was getting into.

From a singles perspective, totally. The Who only ever landed one single in the US top 10 ("I Can See For Miles," 1967). The Kinks got into the top 10 a bunch of times but never higher than #6.
