Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time - SanCarlos (1955) vs Rass (1992)
Do you guys not like the music of Smashing Pumpkins or do just not like Billy Corgan the person?

For me their songs are either pretty good or i can't change them fast enough.
You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.

I like the former (not completely though), and don't like the latter.

Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time - SanCarlos (1955) vs Rass (1992)
Yep. I've got a few I like and the rest I can't stand. I dislike Corgan's voice for the most part but there's a few that it's not a total dealbreaker for me.

I feel like with a different singer it would be totally different. There's a song or two I like despite his horrible, grating voice and even worse personality.
Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time - SanCarlos (1955) vs Rass (1992)
Yeah, he's a complete asshole, but I really like 3 of their albums - Gish, SIamese Dream, and Mellon Collie.

The Aeroplane Flies High B sides boxed set has some bangers too.

Gish is a solid album all the way through. Everything after Gish went downhill for me. But I don’t hate them.

Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time - RUSH (1985) vs DiS (1993)
Interesting because I've found Pete Rock & CL -> Sundays -> Ice Cube -> Gin Blossoms to be jarring. I like continuity in a playlist.
Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time - SanCarlos (1955) vs Rass (1992)
I do think a lot of this is me not listening to their genre of music when they were at peak, so when I was getting into it and doubling back he was already a clear dick. Oasis too, but for some reason (Corgan's voice) that didn't sway me as much.
Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time - RUSH (1985) vs DiS (1993)
I tried to take that into account.

It's really hard to take that into account on a 7-song playlist, IMO.

Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time - SanCarlos (1955) vs Rass (1992)
So now that I've shit on Rass ... on first view I was like "this is a terrible singular choice off Automatic" to "this is a perfect closer" and now I don't know how to reconcile any of this.
Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time - SanCarlos (1955) vs Rass (1992)
You guys aren't playing on shuffle?
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time - SanCarlos (1955) vs Rass (1992)
(can't be the only one who spent a lot of time on the first and last songs in addition to which just which 7 songs, once I settled on including the Gin Blossoms song I liked "found" into "find", and then in the middle I decided I didn't want to segregate all of the rock from the hip-hop and that was about it)
(though I must have listened to the last 30 seconds of each song leading into the next 5 or 6 times and was OK with most of the transitions, and as Giff said it's tough with a limited # of songs)

Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time - SanCarlos (1955) vs Rass (1992)
I didn't plan the order of my songs at all. I probably should have.

Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time - SanCarlos (1955) vs Rass (1992)
I actually did with mine to have a beginning, rise, peak, and denoument in terms of tempo. That's why mine runs hip hop, country, rock, and trip hop to finish. The fact that my closer was the closer on my album was a good guide.
I also only picked songs from CDs I actually own, so a number of artists I would've probably added I kept on the sidelines. Maybe I can switch albums in later rounds if that's part of the deal.

I absolutely tried to plan my list out to maximize the feel.

Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time - SanCarlos (1955) vs Rass (1992)
I did too. But I guess not well enough. Of course I should have had more dirges with middle-aged men singing or more beep boop beep boop electronic sounds.

BTW, I love that SC put Wilco and Son Volt back to back.

Beep Boops did not save me.
I've always liked Metric more than anyone I know and I assume it'll stay that way.

Never mind I'm dumb.
But I liked sancarlos' enough to listen to it three times in a row.

Based on the thread title, I thought SC's list would be mostly Elvis and Bill Haley and His Comets.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time - SanCarlos (1955) vs Rass (1992)
Have you heard about the lead singer of Whiskeytown?

I guess I could have added songs by Oasis, Kanye, and GnR, too, and named it the asshole lead singer mix!

WE’VE GOT A FUCKING TIE!!!
Rass and SanCarlos will trade years and replay the round. Good luck finding predators and otherwise shitty front men in 1992 SC!
(New rule: You must incorporate a song off the other’s album. I don’t know why, you just do. This matchup will be after the rest of round 1 is complete. In August.)

I’ve installed Spotify Listen Tracker (additional cost, don’t even look it up) so I’ll know if any of you skip or randomize.
