Songs that are "rooms with many doors"

Yes, early Roxy were the kings of this.

Queens, rather.

Nick, you don't possess a copy of LiLiPUT: "Eisiger Wind"???

Or every record ever, for that matter.

EISIGER WIND!!!

Yeah! WOO WOO!!

The most doored-up room ever, amirite?

I don't have any Roxy Music on CD, let alone my iPod.

'William, It Was Really Nothing' is an inspired choice. In a similar vein, I nominate 'Penny Lane'

Needs more SFA, Louis.

Ice Hockey Hair.

Slow Life would have been my next suggestion!

Not Ice Hockey Hair...that one's overrated imo

er

maybe Cloudberries? Zoom?

IHH was one of the last non-shitty songs they did imho

In addition to the Love songs already mentioned, there is also "Daily Planet" and "The Castle".

And too many Incredible String Band songs to list.

yeah well yr a time-capsule 90's stan xp

Slow Life would be my alt, so yeah.

Is the live 12" version of "The man don't give a fuck" too long for this?

SM, I'm sending you my traxx. You'll be submitting a final compilation at some point, I'm guessing? I didn't have any Moonshake on hand, so I included "Dream by Dream" by The Chills instead. I also omitted the Granddaddy track, per LJ' s observation.

Oh man, I was just thinking of "Dream by Dream" by The Chills!

Lilys - Most anything from Better Can't Make Your Life Better or the Services (for the soon to be departed) EP

btw that Lapsus Linguae arrived and is totes awesome

check yr inbox, SM.

Another thought: "Looking Glass," by The La's

update: Lapsus Linguae are *mindblowing*

Throwing Muses, "Call Me"

Roxy Music, "Ladytron" & "If There Is Something"

Nirvana "Aneurysm"

White Stripes, "Black Math" (these last two only have a couple doors)

(does Roxy Music count as prog?)

Guided by Voices, "Her Psychology Today" and "Ester's Day"

Liz Phair, "Johnny Sunshine"

Sonic Youth, "Female Mechanic on Duty"

Alice Cooper, Halo of Flies

.. et al(ice)

Belly, "Red"

Sensational Alex Harvey Band, The Tale of the Giant Stoneater

... et al(ex)

also see: Flop's Whenever You're Ready

The Doors, Soft Parade

Television, Marquee Moon.

That seems fairly straightahead to me

Substitute "Little Johnny Jewel" the live version if you like.

The entire period from "Sgt. Pepper" and the following ten years to thread.

Geir, you told me on my Best Albums/Songs of the Aughties thread that you hate this type of song (or something to that effect). What gives?

yeah what gives??????

Geir hates all "difficult" songwriting except for late-period The Beatles (to the extent/at the times they qualified) and prog rock (chiefly early Genesis).

Beatesis.

The Genetles

(sorry)

Beatesis.

For a split second, I thought this was some sort of 'new' musical form invented by maybe Magma that Geir digs.

I don't get how geir could hate this considering how much he loves prog

Actually the "i love x when it's done by THE ORIGINATOR but every other example of it I hate" posture is a fairly common one amongst fans and critics alike, even though it's mostly a bullshit-ish position.

Electric Soft Parade: Silent To The Dark
10cc: I'm Mandy Fly Me (and also "Une Nuit a Paris" and "Don't Hang Up", but they are verging on prog anyway)

electric soft parade. that's a room without any doors i'd say.

Just about anybody's Brian Wilson tribute song such as:

The Dukes of Stratosphear - "Pale and Precious"
Lindsey Buckingham - "D.W. Suite"

From the same Lindsey Buckingham album - "Play in the Rain" (though the fragments never really gel into an actual song)

His Name Is Alive - "Sick"

& don't forget Olivia Tremor Control

How has Big Star not been mentioned yet? Just about every song on Radio City has what, like, 75 doors.
