Mayonaise - The Smashing Pumpkins

 

[mianfei]

This is an amazing piece – actually it is quite fast-paced but the way it is written is totally unique, never replicated yet accessible. I didn’t know Joni did something like this before hearing it – Hejira did get to number 13 on Billboard despite no airplay and I imagine none on “classic rock” stations today – but I loved it from the start

Even better than ‘Coyote’ from one of the most important records for a budding collection – it is literally floating amidst the spartan melody and beautiful voices.

This is so catchy that its jarring yet powerful and even melodic tone caught me right out first listen and still does.

After hearing this song again on triple J, damn it reminded me how good it was when I first heard it. So bloody good.

Saw the Pixies do this song live.

It nearly knocked me off my feet.

Saw the Pixies do this song live.

It nearly knocked me off my feet.

Also saw the Pixies live in 2010 in São Paulo and that song was part of their setlist. My favourite Pixies song is probably "Hey" though. Or not. There are too many.

 

[Lums23]

This song is very recent. The first time I heard it on the radio I only caught the outro and had to find the song. Jumped on Triple J plays, then unearthed and it's been my favourite song for the year since. If you don't include songs of To Pimp A Butterfly anyway

Great song. I do prefer Return To though. It belongs in this thread for me

Prodigal Son - Iron Maiden
Quicksand Jesus - Skid Row
