Really? I think the Ganging Up is easily their best album.

I don't have any single songs from those lists on my ipod but do have two in my general library. Does that mean I suck? I hope so... :)

Nope, I have probably 6 songs on my mp3 player, but more in my library
in my mp3 player it's like
Gaga - Fashion
La Roux - Bulletproof
Medium Medium - the Glitterhouse
Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit
Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight
& some Albert Hammond Jr song

this list is ****ing ridiculous I realise, I only use my mp3 player when I go out to smoke

Someone explain to me what the deal with this band is.
There were bands by the thousands in London knocking out the kind of stuff with equal if not more quality than they were at the same time.

Is it just the novelty of them being Brazilian or something ?

I think we should take in the socio political aspect of the music that they were playing at the time and brasilia music definitely shares traits with latter day Punk in that it broke boundaries both political and social.

I think I'm going to take this too literally but I'll give it a shot anyhow.

These songs better be on your iPod because you're probably on public transit, and you're going to need to do what it takes to get you out of your funk...

1. Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons (only because I'm assuming you don't speak German, and you'll want to sing along)

2. Grand Funk Railroad - American Band (strictly because this song has more Cowbell than Wisconsin)

3. Sam & Dave - Hold On! I'm coming! (because you can sing this one even if you don't speak English, and you can't not dance)

4. James Brown - My Thang (because there are barely words, and it will teach you how to pick up women on the bus in the first 15 seconds of the song)

5. My Morning Jacket - Highly Suspicious (because at this point you might as well have a soundtrack to the weird stares you're getting while you continue your funky ass dance party.)

:clap:

I don't understand the reasoning behind this one. You know there's an English version by the original artist right?

Love - The Red Telephone
This song is fantastic, Love is one of those bands that is extremely overlooked.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Castles Made of Sand
Favorite Hendrix song. The tempo is amazing along with the trippy guitar work.
Led Zeppelin - Over the Hills and Far Away
What an incredible song a must have for anyone who appreciates music in the slightest!
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Best Pink Floyd song.
Smashing Pumpkin - Mayonaise
One of the great things about songs is that they can be interpreted many ways. This songs lyrics are extremley vague and lets the listener relate to it in there own way. Because of this that's what makes this song amazing.

Basically what jackhammer said, the historybehind it is just fascinating and the music is so passionate. I love Os Mutantes, Gilberto Gil and basically all the Tropicalia artists.
