1. Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime

5 - CCR (any song that includes the word "chooglin" in the lyrics is as brunchy as they come )
4 - Led Zeppelin (that bass drum)
3 - Mountain (I'd almost forgotten this thigh slapper)
2 - Unit Four Plus Two (just as well the song is better than their name)
1 - Beastie Boys (not usually what I go for but I loved this)

Billy - Loverboy (still just as vomit inducing as it was years ago)

Flawless:

Flawless is an adjective that means "without any imperfections," like your flawless vocal performance — not one mistake. In flawless you can see the word flaw, which means "a fault." So something that is flawless is free of faults, perfect.

Submit a song with a flawless performance. Vocals, guitar, triangle, whatever Eg:


John Hedigan's performance in this clip is flawless.

Please provide an explanation and good luck

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

Songs about Myrrh, obviously

Thats a bit myrrhky don't you think?

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Thanks for your 5 The Filth Wizard

It's a great song. Love Queen studio tracks.

5: Mile Marker
4: Mississippi Queen
3: Raina
2: Good Times Bad Times
1: Magic Bus

Billy: Time Has Come Today (11 minute version would've been an easy 5)

 

[Ulahoopski]

"Lazy billy" ??? Give it a spell. More like: "lazy nom"

It's not even that good. Teen rebellion. Yeah, great. Get over it.

I reckon people just cling onto a memory of being good and don't even listen to it with their ears open.

Are you drunk? If you think it's about teen rebellion then you've never listened to it with your ears open.

[Back One Out]

This is a completely different argument.

Yep. Good observation.

You are completely underselling the cultural impact of the song.

Cultural impact?!?

1000 sweaty bros in a Big Day Out moshpit screaming "F**K YOU I WON'T DO WHATCHA TELL ME!!"




Let it go, man.

It's quite relevant today, given the emboldening of the far-right in the US.

Drunk AND constipated?

 

[Drunkgoliath]

It's actually quite amazing The Jesus won on a Beastie Boys track.
It's exactly a him kinda song.
