markyb Member	posted January 31, 2002 05:16 PM 44. "Cannonball", Breeders [Last Splash, 1993?] I agree that we should ease off the bands with 7+ songs... but does that mean that classics like Superchunk's "Slack MF" and GBV's "Echoes Myron" and "Exit Flagger" and Pavement's "Trigger Cut" and "Debris Slide" and "Stereo" won't make it?! A crime against humanity, that... (And to think that I wasted one of my choices on "Unseen Power of the Picket Fence"... shameful.)

markyb Member	posted January 31, 2002 07:58 PM 29. "Web in Front" Archers of Loaf [Icky Mettle] 1993 (Sorry about double-posting "Cannonball"-- I went looking for it before I posted it, but I obviously overlooked it.) (Here's an honorable mention: "Lipstick" by Imperial Teen-- probably 3 Imperial Teen songs on the list is too many, so I won't post it, but it's easily one of the best pop songs of the last few years.)

indieisnotdead Member	posted January 31, 2002 08:18 PM I like the Clash too but they are not indie, so I would like to substitute the following Modest Mouse songs in their place: 1. Worms vs Birds 2. Dukes Up 3. Breakthrough 4. Tundra/Desert 5. Talking S#it about a Pretty Sunset 6. Cowboy Dan 7. Truckers Atlas 8. 3rd Planet 9. I came as a rat If you are putting Nico on the list, you can't complain about Modest Mouse IP: Logged
