Long before U2 invaded your iTunes with the troubles, Steve Jobs was makin' your taste. So fire up Cro-Mag Rally on that new Macbook you just bought for college on a summer Frullati paycheck and vote for the best track bundled with the original iTunes launch in 2001.

Tip: Maybe even take the time to install iTunes instead of opening it from the DMG on your Desktop

wolves at doors: they flan @ u face (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 9 September 2014 22:31 (nine years ago) link

It came down to MLK versus the Barenaked Ladies.

There's a sentence I never imagined typing.

MLK, obv.

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 22:35 (nine years ago) link

J. Edgar Hoover may have already typed that one

wolves at doors: they flan @ u face (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 9 September 2014 22:37 (nine years ago) link

but a very wise choice

Penelope Houston of the Avengers? Bit of a disconnect for me.

clemenza, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 22:42 (nine years ago) link

Address to Civil Rights Marchers in DC sounds like a Don Cab title

Master of Treacle, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 22:44 (nine years ago) link

Strangelove!

U2 hasn't invaded your iTunes. Every single day there is a free track offered on iTunes. Are those invading your iTunes as well? You have the option of downloading a new U2 album without paying for it if you have absolutely nothing better to do with your time.

brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 22:55 (nine years ago) link

What if you have the option of downloading a new U2 album without paying for it if you have absolutely nothing better to do with your time, but you only have that time if you also neglect to steal a life-saving medicine for someone that cannot afford it. Do you download the U2 album? Do you steal the medicine? Life is hard!

wolves at doors: they flan @ u face (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 9 September 2014 23:10 (nine years ago) link

wow, they went with the single most overrated mlk cut. they should've gone for one of his deep cuts like "a time to break the silence".

rushomancy, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 23:25 (nine years ago) link

Pat Metheny's "James" might be the closest thing he has written to a jazz standard. It's been played by quite a bit of people.

U2 invades me and i resent them for that

i also enjoy in line skateing (spazzmatazz), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 03:13 (nine years ago) link

"Feed the Tree" is a legit great song!

Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 03:17 (nine years ago) link

This list is more like what I remember, def came with New Order

Euler, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 08:55 (nine years ago) link

yeah, the macrumors poster mentions that he'd deleted some. But I couldn't find a more complete list.

wolves at doors: they flan @ u face (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 13:47 (nine years ago) link

this will teach me to read the entire list before voting

stacked as fuck & imposing (DJP), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 13:53 (nine years ago) link

This has taught me to never have faith in a macrumors poster's music taste

wolves at doors: they flan @ u face (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 14:01 (nine years ago) link

But yes, also lol how this list sets one up to value strangelove over historic speeches

wolves at doors: they flan @ u face (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 14:17 (nine years ago) link

Feed the Tree IS a legit great song but so are Strangelove and Shot in the Arm.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 14:19 (nine years ago) link

awful jazz selections

sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 14:21 (nine years ago) link

"The World Isn't Fair" is one of Randy Newman's best.

the one where, as balls alludes (Eazy), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 14:24 (nine years ago) link

if the dude who posted this list had Euler's link as the original list, he was an idiot for taking out some of the best stuff

⌘-B (mh), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 14:30 (nine years ago) link

he did and he was ;_;

wolves at doors: they flan @ u face (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 14:31 (nine years ago) link

I almost find it most bizarre that his Phish quality control kicks in at "Billy Breathes"

wolves at doors: they flan @ u face (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 14:32 (nine years ago) link

i want to vote 'age of consent' now

wolves at doors: they flan @ u face (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 14:56 (nine years ago) link

it's almost like there was an 'imaginary part' to this list that was unseen before Euler came along

wolves at doors: they flan @ u face (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 14:58 (nine years ago) link

bizarre love triangle forever

⌘-B (mh), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 15:14 (nine years ago) link

it's almost like there was an 'imaginary part' to this list that was unseen before Euler came along

i see what you did there

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 11 September 2014 04:04 (nine years ago) link

No idea what most of these are but Pat Metheny's James is a great record

saer, Thursday, 11 September 2014 05:15 (nine years ago) link

three weeks pass...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Are the barenaked ladies votes a joke or do they really have a fanbase on ILM?

Moka, Saturday, 4 October 2014 19:05 (nine years ago) link

I dig Barenaked Ladies, though I didn't vote in this poll, and don't like either of those two songs

soref, Saturday, 4 October 2014 19:39 (nine years ago) link

wait, Jane was there was well, but that didn't get any votes (and isn't terrible like the other two)
