Crowquill's Top 101 Singles (singer, electronic, punk, ballad, albums)

**sleepy jack** · 04-03-2008, 08:31 PM

Titles pretty self-explanatory.

101. The Magnetic Fields "Why I Cry"

Back when Stephin was kind of a shy vocalist and hid behind electronics and noise this song is a slow ballad where the cheesyness is the charm. Merritt slowly sings over a gentle melody "So you said goodnight / When you meant goodbye / Now our love has died / This is why I cry."

I couldn't find a video to this song but I find a pretty cover by Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie, The Postal Service) and Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket.)

100. Sleater-Kinney "Entertain"

Most of those female punk bands from Olympia, Washington (also known as Riot Grrl) suck and haven't aged well. Surprisingly Sleater-Kinney has with their 2005 albums The Woods they showed to be musically much more talented than most of their riot grrl contemporaries as well as just sounding better in general (they've also probably outlasted them all.) I rarely love the drumming in this song but it really is great drumming and Carrie Brownstein proves to be just as good as singer as Corin and their vocals coupled together in this song are beautiful. Plus it features when of the most oddly placed (and therefore cool) guitar solos ever.

I doubt I can even name 101 singles that I actually really like.

**sleepy jack** · 04-04-2008, 08:17 PM

Well about 20 of these are the Smiths so

Alfred · 04-04-2008, 08:17 PM

It's not my fault their singles are so brilliant. I would list which are amazing but then I'd give away my list <.<
