The 11 Best Songs By Phantogram

Posted on by

There’s no better kick to a rock band’s music credibility than to be invited to guest on a hip hop album. Phantogram didn’t get ask to guest on one song, they were asked to guest on three…and not just by any street poet, they were asked to guest on an album by one of the greatest hip hop artists of all time, Big Boi of Outkast.  One of their duets, CPU, may easily be the best solo song that Big Boi has ever done.  Phantogram keeps getting better with every release; maturing, refining, and expanding with every song.  Soon, it will be Big Boi guesting on Phantogram’s album, giving him more music cred.

Here are the 11 Best Songs By Phantogram:

  1. As Far As I Can See (Eyelid Movies)
  2. 16 Years (Night Life)
  3. You Are the Ocean (Eyelid Movies)
  4. Don’t Move (Night Life)
  5. Black Out Days (Phantogram EP)
  6. Turning Into Stone (Night Life)
  7. Never Going Home (Phantogram EP)
  8. Mouthful of Diamonds (Eyelid Movies)
  9. Bloody Palms (Eyelid Movies)
  10. The Day You Died (Night Life)
  11. Voices (Mouthful of Diamonds)

The 11 Best Bands Who Should Reunite to Play Coachella

Posted on by

They crammed all my favorite bands into Saturdays line-up, so I was left with no choice but to watch the Chili Peppers.

One of the best things about Coachella is guessing with iconic band will reunite for that year’s show.  This list taps into the wet dreams of all the indie kids heading out to the desert every year.  For a list of the best bands who are still together that have never played together…check yesterday’s list.  I excluded a couple of groups (N.W.A., The Replacements) because they were missing dead members.  I only did this to narrow down the list.

Who am I missing?

Here are the 11 Best Bands Who Have Never REUNITED To Play Coachella:

  1. The Smiths
  2. The Police
  3. The Talking Heads
  4. R.E.M.
  5. Neutral Milk Hotel
  6. Outkast
  7. Soundgarden
  8. lush
  9. Oingo Boingo
  10. Fugazi
  11. A Tribe Called Quest
  12. Sneaker Pimps (original line-up)
  13. Porno For Pyros

um…yeah…that’s 13.  It’s a hard list to make!

 

The 11 Best Songs By Outkast of the 00s

I feel like every month or so I make a list for a band that doesn’t deserve to be narrowed down to 11 songs.  This month, it happens to be OutKast.  I’m only constructing a list of songs from one decade, I would hate to do this list and include their albums from the 90s.  And no…no songs from Andre 3000’s solo kids’ album didn’t make the list.  Yes, he has a kids album…look it up.

 My favorite thing in the world will likely happen with this list.  I will get some moron who says I don’t know what the hell I’m doing and send me their list that will be identical to my list…with only 1 song different.  And that one song will either be a duplicate of another song on the list…or a song that’s not eligible…or by some other artist altogether.  True stuff…someone sent me a Depeche Mode list with an Erasure song on it.  Can’t wait to see what Goodie Mob song gets mistakenly put in.

 Here are the 11 Best Songs by OutKast of the 00s:

 1.  Hey Ya! (The Love Below)

2.  Mrs. Jackson (Stankonia)

3.  Roses (The Love Below)

4.  Flip Flop Rock (Speakerboxxx)

5.  The Way You Move (Speakerboxxx)

6.  B.O.B. (Stankonia)

7.  PJ and Rooster (Idlewild)

8.  Humble Mumble (Stankonia)

9.  Dracula’s Wedding (The Love Below)

10.  So Fresh, So Clean (Stankonia)

11.  Morris Brown (Idlewild)
