Swans, Filth: Be animal

If you don't like a single Frank Ocean song, you have no soul.

It reminds me of the song "Slow Ride".

If we're going to be EBA-ish...

Good Charlotte - The Anthem: I don't want to be anything like you... unless you can beat up giant golems with baseball skills. That would be cool.

Weezer - "Why Bother": Relationships always end in heartbreak, so I would rather stay single and masturbate.

ZZ Top - "La Grange": I have heard that there is a pretty good bordello in La Grange, Texas.

Duran Duran - "Rio". There's this woman named Rio who is mysterious and sexy.

  • Ali Tabatabaee & Matty Lewis - His World: Sonic '06 does not deserve this awesome song as its main theme.

Here goes:

  • "Stand" by Rascal Flatts: Four minutes of metaphors and similes in search of a narrative.
  • "Elvira" by The Oak Ridge Boys: An Ear Worm whose main purpose is to show off Richard Sterban's impressive Basso Profondo pipes.
  • "Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum: The booty call song by which all other booty call songs should be judged.
  • "Creepin'" by Eric Church: Jay Joyce is having WAY too much fun in the producer's booth, which is EXACTLY why he should get more production jobs.
  • "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You" by Alabama with 'N Sync: The ultimate proof that Alabama really jumped the shark in the 90s.
  • "If I Were a Boy": It's enough of a stretch when a late-20s woman sings it, never mind a woman in her mid 50s.
  • "The Wind" by Zac Brown Band: A breakneck modern-bluegrass song that was apparently too country for 21st century radio, even though a jam band song ("Keep Me in Mind") and two classic country Tear Jerkers ("Highway 20 Ride" and "Colder Weather") weren't.
  • "Pontoon" by Little Big Town: Mmmm, motorboatin'.

"Cocktails" by Hot Leg: an excuse to say cock roughly 20 times.

"Patience" by Guns N Roses: The band shows off their "Roses" side.

"Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time" by The Darkness: Mildly serious lovesong that really sorta hits you.

"No Rain" by Blind Melon: Depressed woman wishes it'd rain so she'd have an excuse to stay in bed all day.

"Kiss Me" by Sixpence None The Richer: A lovely piece of fluff.

"Home" by Daughtry: One way nostalgia trip.

"Achy Breaky Heart": The song by which Billy Ray will forever be unfairly judged, even though he can do much better (though I actually unironically like it).

Wait, Reba did a cover of "If I Were a Boy"? I'm not sure I wanna know...

Daniel Powter, "Bad Day": The most depressing (if sappy) song ever the first time you hear it, then a few hours later you're so sick of it that you want to strangle its composer. (It's still 2006, right?)
