One of my personal regrets is not putting American Girl higher.

word but like REALLY late, I'm 33 and didn't even really sniff the genre until late in college.

I was listening to "Voodoo Child" yesterday and just marveling at the controlled chaos of the guitars on that song. Astounding every time.
"American Girl" shoulda been higher but I'm happy it's top 30.

"did you hear the one about 'american girl'?"
"no"
"everyone heard this song, but only one band went and made a whole career off it"
"who?"
"the strokes"

I thought Voodoo Child would be top 10 tbf
― Strictly EZ Snappin' Nhex (Spottie), Thursday, 31 July 2014 16:51 (nine years ago) link
With regards to a lot of these songs, I'm having a hard time remembering if I liked them because I heard them on classic rock radio back in the day, or I like them because Girl Talk sampled them.

OTM. I should have probably voted it higher.
Tom Petty kind of bringing things down for me. Otherwise, today's stretch has mostly been gold.

I hate the mix on the Electric Ladyland Voodoo Child. It pans left and right way too frequently.
― David Schramm (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 31 July 2014 16:58 (nine years ago) link
"American Girl" showing up on the poll such a great palate cleanser after all those Knopfler images.

this next track reminds me of a really nasty breakup i went through with my girlfriend over labor day weekend 1986. we'd just finished a road trip through--
actually, you know what? i've already been fired from too many stations for telling this story on the air.
in the interest of job security, i'll just let this one play:

Hm, listening now, I'm actually enjoying "American Girl" more than "Lido Shuffle" (which I don't think I've heard before). Probably one of the best Petty hits, tbf.

Ha, I really like "Jane" but it didn't make my top 100. I'm a little surprised that ILM rates it this highly. It's a decent Foreigner song, basically.

I didn't even realize Elvin Bishop wasn't a singer. Until I read his wiki awhile ago, I just knew him as the guy who shows up on all the 70s comps.
― pplains, Thursday, 31 July 2014 17:36 (nine years ago) link
elvin bishop does sing, but not on everything.

several of the votes for "Sweet Home Alabama" referred to it as simply "that song named after the Reese Witherspoon movie"

i was going to say "ask david lee roth." and then it occurred to me mickey would have been a better singer for van halen than either sammy hagar or gary cherone. and then i remembered i have recently resigned from ilm.

I think it was a case of Elvin realizing, "fuck, I'm no singer; I'm a guitarist! Get that Thomas kid in here to add some razzle-dazzle!"
