mine is 'the money will roll right in'.
it contains the best opening lines of any song ever:
"i'm going to hollywood, they'll see that i'm so good/i won't care how i feel, and i'll get to fuck brooke shields!"
it's been covered by nirvana, mudhoney and others, but the best will always be the original:
'Long Island'
by The Wave Pictures.
Greatest thing, like, ever for me right now.
'doesn't matter much'
by blood red shoes
but you should know I am the real Slim Shady
that song's good but I raise you pretty much anything on the last album by Super Furry Animals album, or "Your Little Hoodrat Friend" by The Hold Steady
note:
this is in response to the Wave Pictures post.
Los Campesinos! -
Sweet Dreams, Sweet Cheeks.
The dance they do to it live is lovely.

descendents <3
Robyn
sometimes I think you should have been 19 circa 1979 living the Hollywood punk scene. Hehe.
i really wish that was true
:(
'Japanese to English'
by Red House Painters. Just got into them. The album I've got sounds like a classic.
You should be listening to these
Sweet Love for Planet Earth - Fuck Buttons
Dianna Ross - Concretes
I'm Your Eagle Kisser - Avey Tare

it will change within the next five minutes, though.
Mystery Jets - Flakes
and also MIA - Paper Planes.
Sonic Youth
Teenage Riot
i like the RTX version
my fave at the moment is probably The Devil Is Dope by The Dramatics. It's an anti drugs song (which is lame) and the groove is a bit sluggish (they probably could have done with some bad weed), but the vocals are just awesome. The middle guy is going "THE DEEEEVIL IS DOOOPE" and the low guy is going "BA DA BOODABA" and the high guy is going "AAAAAOOOOOW", and the rest are just sort of grunting. And it's got an evil sounding fuzz guitar riff, and about 4 different parts, and loads of pretty damn dramatic strings.
Damn, that took too long. I've changed my mind now.. My new favourite song is D.I.S.C.O by Black Lace
Alexisonfire
Water Wings (And Other Poolside Fashion Faux-Pas)

or any song from that album really
Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead

Battle of the Misanthropic Steves: Austin Vs. Albini
'This Machine Kills Fascists' by Today Is the Day. And here was me thinking Shellac were the last word in vitriolic, unhinged rock and/or roll... awesome stuff!
