Can't guess any of them =(
'March Of The Swivelheads' and 'Rhythm & Purpose' were my favs

1. Blonde Redhead "23"
This is probably my second favorite off the album followed by Spring and by Summer Fall, good choice.
2. They Might be Giants "Birdhouse In Your Soul"
Fun song y0.
3. Ride "Black Night Crash"
<3ride.
4. Six Finger Satellite "Coke And Mirrors"
It's like a punk band was lost in space.
5. Akphaezya "Reflections"
I found it interesting/enjoyable when it sped up at like 1:10 but the part following it made me go =[ but overall it's an okay song. I enjoyed it more than I normally enjoy anything metal.
6. The Ruby Suns "Blue Penguin"
I like this song it was one of the few on the album I enjoyed I found most of the album boring to be honest. But yeah good song.
7. Screeching Weasel "What We Hate"
It's okay, repetitive as hell.
8. English Beat "March Of The Swivelheads"
This is pretty groovy, I like how the vocals sound.
9. Gentle Giant "Prologue"
Somehow I'm not surprised boo boo has the longest song on here
10. Channel One "Rhythm & Purpose"
I like this alot, the vocals reminded me of Ian Curtis in Heart and Soul when he's like "existence well what does it matter / I exist on the best terms I can / the past is now part of my future / the present is well out of hand."
11. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "Jesus Of The Moon"
Not my favorite Cave song by a long shot but it's a Cave song so its good.
12. Boomtown Rats "I Don't Like Mondays"
For some reason I remember reading about this song in some punk rock book it's not what I expected D: but its a fun song despite the gruesome subject matter.
13. Lifter Puller "Manpark"
Wow awful vocals!
14. The Walkmen "Canadian Girl"
I like this song alot, I've been meaning to get one of their albums for awhile.
15. The Kinks "Sunny Afternoon"
classic.
16. Skeleton Crew "The Birds Of Japan"
Back when MB had a blog I think you posted one of their albums and I got it from there.
17. Graf Orlock "The Dream Left Behind"
\m/

1. Blonde Redhead "23"
Superb track. I want to hear more. Lots more.
2. They Might be Giants "Birdhouse In Your Soul"
I hate this track.
3. Ride "Black Night Crash"
Of course!
4. Six Finger Satellite "Coke And Mirrors"
It seemed to go nowhere and just sort of sat there, but repeat listens have grown on me. Liking this alot.
5. Akphaezya "Reflections"
I love anything that fecks with a genre template and this did just that. At times it slipped into some banal Nu-Metal Schizz that seemed totally against what the track was about. Definitely intrigued with these.
6. The Ruby Suns "Blue Penguin"
Does'nt do anything for me at all.
7. Screeching Weasel "What We Hate"
It does what it says on the tin: Punk by numbers. Bored me.
8. English Beat "March Of The Swivelheads"
Not one of their better tracks but massive kudos for inclusion. The Beat seemed to get left behind in the 2nd wave Ska revival.
9. Gentle Giant "Prologue"
Yawn. heard it all before and better.
10. Channel One "Rhythm & Purpose"
I was taken aback when I found out it was RT's choice. Not just because it's a great song, its the fact that it seems so off kilter to what he listens to as there is a big emphasis on electronics on the track. Want to hear more.
11. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "Jesus Of The Moon"
Great track but an uninspired choice I think.
12. Boomtown Rats "I Don't Like Mondays"
It's OK but 'Rat Trap' would have been much more preferable!
13. Lifter Puller "Manpark"
Tolerable but it did'nt inspire me to look further into their music.
14. The Walkmen "Canadian Girl"
No.
15. The Kinks "Sunny Afternoon"
Englishmen do not diss The Kinks. End of.
16. Skeleton Crew "The Birds Of Japan"
Once again a track from CA that get's better and better with each listen.
17. Graf Orlock "The Dream Left Behind"
Oh yeah. Hated the soundtrack lift though. Great energy and cool name.

Well it's my favorite song of 08 jackhammer, I know the rest are more obscure but the point of the thread is to get a list of favorites right?

No. I have balls. I certainly did'nt dislike it but it did'nt do much for me either.
