Great Statements/Lines In Songs..

rolling thunder pouring rain i'm coming on like a hurricane

don't fuss don't fight don't sleep at night and shake a leg (guitar break) shake a leg (guitar break) shaaakkkkeeee it

She ain't exactly pretty ain't exactly small Forty-two, thirty-nine, fifty-six, You could say she's got it all

Love me till i'm lifeless aching and sore enough to stop a freight train or start the third world war

You're the meanest woman I've ever known Sticks and stones won't break my bones I know what you're lookin' for You ate you cake, you want some more

gotta love ac/dc at times like these.

i dunno if it really fits the thread, but i absolutely love how in the final chorus, its 'i ended up a soldier on the weekend" such a great allusion to the previous verses.

'ahhh aah"

every suede song ever.

Whiskeytown top 20? They have three albums Listen to the first two who are both 10 outta 10 all neet and if you like them try the third Which is also great but not as good as the first two imo

They've a bunch of other stuff, EP's, plus all the 3 albums I have bonus discs from. Brad had rare tracks in his 20. Brad KNOWS

I'm sorry, I was under the impression you had never heard a single Whiskeytown song and wanted Brad to give you his top 20 tracks to get into them

PS When I have my music back I will turtle you an 8 disc, chronological Ryan Adams rarities, live stuff and demos/outtakes compilation. From The Patty Duke Syndrome to Ryan Adams & The Cardinals. From Whiskeytown to Ryan Adams & Alanis Morissette

I've heard two of the records, but apart from that your impression is correct

Whiskeyton

The Jam '' Stop apologizing...for the things youve never done ''

u2 '' i can't live with or without you ''

Bob Dylan '' you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows ''

Johnny Cash '' Life ain't easy for a boy named sue ''

Line for line that song is pretty much unsurpassable

The stale chips are up and the hopes stakes are down
It's all these ignorant faces that bring this town down




Some others...

We all say 'don't want to be alone'
We wear the same clothes 'cause we feel the same

Blur - End Of A Century


When I came into this world they slapped me
And every day since then I'm slapped again

Eels - Flower


The street's wet, you can tell by the sound of the cars

Elliott Smith - Clementine


I'd like to drop my trousers to the queen
Every sensible child will know what this means

The Smiths - Nowhere Fast


All the things that people do in winter
They all melt down in summer
Things a mirror should say
On a very hot day

Cat Power - What Would The Community Think

Good to see Cat Power get a mention. I'd give my left nut to be in the same room as her.

Billy Bragg - St Swithin's Day

With my own hands
When I make love to your memory
It's not the same
I miss the thunder
I miss the rain

Paul Weller - You Do Something To Me

You do something to me
Somewhere deep inside
Im hoping to get close to
A peace i cannot find

Will turtle shortly Karl

Can never get into Faithless Street, few got tracks but generally does zilch for me.

Strangers Almanac and Pneumonia are both quality though.

I had all the really rare old stuff but lost it, stuff like Snow Cobra, The Lazy Stars and rare Whiskeytown but then again was never going to listen to it more than once

Oh we were brought up on the Space-Race,
now they expect you to clean toilets

to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die

Can you still have any famous last words if you're somebody nobody knows?

But she was with her mom who had a face like a nun in pain

She was with her mam, SHE WAS WITH HER MAM!!

that's wonderful
