OT: Watcha Listenin' To? Part VIII: All I Wanted was a Pepsi

[Captain Dave Poulin]

@GKJ What's the Bonnie Raitt song you were expecting to be way up there? Spoilering just in case.

Spoiler

I would have thought "Something to Talk About" and "I Can't Make You Love Me" would be the most popular. "Angel from Montgomery" maybe?

The latter is magnificent.

 

[Rebels57]

There's Piece of My Heart finally

 

[GKJ]

When I was guessing what was left, I forgot all the Janis songs, and Whitney.

But counted a Joni song twice, so, I think she has 2 left. I have 11 on my list and 12 spots left

Spoiler

Brandi Carlie (2)
Joni Mitchell (2 or 3?)
Dolly
Aretha
Bonnie
Sinead
Carole King
Patsy Cline
Fleetwood Mac

Something I'm forgetting but I won't be shocked I don't think.

 

[GKJ]

Oh Sinead! So close!!

 

[Rebels57]

My money is on RESPECT by Aretha going 1st overall. Possibly influenced by renewed interest in recent years with a TV series and movie being made about her...but also by Rolling Stone magazine picking it as the best song over on that horrendous list they came out with in 2021. What's everyone else got?

There's Sinead with that beautiful song written by Prince Rogers Nelson.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Oh Sinead! So close!!

The top 11 are going to piss me off no matter what now.

I think you're right.

Respect
A Case of You
Angel of Montgomery

top 3

 

[Rebels57]

I think you're right.

Respect
A Case of You
Angel of Montgomery

top 3

I don't even f***ing know what A Case of You is. Another Joni I take it?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

"Unfinished Sympathy" didn't make the list at all?!?! There are almost 900 songs on the bleeping thing.

 

[GKJ]

I don't even f***ing know what A Case of You is. Another Joni I take it?

Yup.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

A Case of You
Angel of Montgomery

What the f***. I will tell you this - that song isn't better than "Black Boys On Mopeds" and she can f*** off to Canada and dodge the draft.

 

[Rebels57]

Yup.

I went into this list indifferent about Joni. Now I hate the woman.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I don't even f***ing know what A Case of You is. Another Joni I take it?

I didn't either until I just went and listened to it - it's just more of the same horse shit.

"Unfinished Sympathy" didn't make the list at all?!?! There are almost 900 songs on the bleeping thing.

Good shout.

 

[GKJ]

Shit, Landslide can't get into the top 10 either

 

[GKJ]

They do a top 885 songs of the 90's, Sinead is going #1

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

@JojoTheWhale one of the comments under the Massive Attack video:

"My children cannot believe these songs like this are at least 30 years old. They sound timeless."

Hear that Joni? Go patch your mumu, freak. I'm so mad at her right now.

 

[GKJ]

Sinead having a #1 song of the 90's would be fun to hear from people mad about going through an entire decade, only to have the top song be released 8 days into the decade

 

[GKJ]

Still need At Last by Etta James, too

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I've paused the stream for 3 of the last 4 songs.

 

[Rebels57]

The Joke is one of the great vocal performances of our time.

Oh look more bullshit Joni

 

[GKJ]

Oh, someone wanted Fast Car, I think we talked about it being top 10.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

#7 is still REALLY high. GKJ knows his XPN.

 

[Magua]

What was the highest Chvrches song? The two I've heard that I like the best are "California" and "Forever."

I'd just give Screen Violence a start to finish listen honestly. Endless bangers. "Violent Delights," "Bitter End," "Asking For A Friend" probably my favorites.

I'd give "Tether" a listen as well. And "Gun." See if those tickle your fancy.

28th Joni Mitchell song lol

I'm not sure I've listened to 10 Joni Mitchell songs in my life.

 

[GKJ]

#7 is still REALLY high. GKJ knows his XPN.

It was #15 on the all-time (men and women) list in 2020, and the highest female lead song. I had wondered if there was sympathy from John Prine though, because it was a big jump from the 2014 list.

Gun was my first favorite Chvrches song, but now I think it's Violent Delights.
