Mostly Here For Music
@justonemusicfan.bsky.social
Started this account to share a countdown of my top 100 albums of the 21st century so far. You can find that if you scroll to the start. Sticking around enjoying other, mostly music, stuff.
This is entirely my opinion. Meant for fun only.

My fav on this album!
It is totally of the caliber of many of their best songs. (Hmmm… there’s an artist fave list I could do…)

…but that’d be hard to top. 😁🎶

I’d go so far as to say it’s their best single - but I qualify this noting I don’t own enough to assess that objectively

I’ll play a few of his hits.
I see the date - my mother told me I was projected to be born on 11/17. Didn’t happen. 23rd. Black Friday that year. (Was jokingly told I wasn’t allowed to interrupt my father’s Thanksgiving dinner.)

Cool!
I know that track - own the album - and it’s bizarre to me that the song you posted isn’t on the album. 🤔
Then again, “The Subway”… first heard a few days after the CD arrived and my thought was “I like this; I’ll play it on the CD later”… and then it wasn’t on the CD either. 🤷🏻♂️

Was!
I guess I need to check that one out.
I’ve heard just a little from them. It’s a bit of a bummer that music I’d likely like wasn’t given attention in the U.S. 😕

2. But… “A Boy Named Goo” - it did rank higher when I ranked 90s albums. More cohesive.

I’ll just reply rather than make my own post, but…
For me…
1. It seems the obvious answer is “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.” The chief single - “1979” - was released the next year, and I recall hearing a DJ note that that was targeted at people who’d turn 17 in 1996 - me! - it worked 😁

… the biggest takeaway from that was a rekindling of my Mendes fandom (“Nobody Knows” at the VMAs; made me buy the album that just turned a year old on Saturday). I was waiting for the Kravitz performance that came near the end; “Human” is my fav thing he’s done.

Good song!
I didn’t honestly download it until several months after I’d first heard it - but, yeah, it’s a gem. I first heard it when I was out at a bar (patio, in fact, perfect Sept night) and someone told them to put the VMAs on for the sake of Roan. Latest I’ve been out in a few years. And…

(Wish buying it meant I had a 45. For the same price I paid to iTunes yesterday, could’ve had a real thing in the 1980s. Digital buys feel like a rip off)

Gonna forego other things, lurk for a bit, and prepare for the December year-end singles dealie!

Bought it. Digging it. Maybe it’s too strong a statement, but it’s more or less a Fleetwood Mac song to me so far 🙊

Posted! Late, yes, but better this way. I’ve given the winning song the attention ut deserves. 😁

Another interesting thing: a friend has reminded me recently how so much of popular music has lyrics themed on love or lost lost. This is *not* that.
I’ll use the length limit to my favor and leave it at that.

As the years have gone on, this is the YC song I come back to the most. And it's honestly more relatable lyrically than the #2, even though that's such a fun song.

This song had a big impact. When it came out. When I bought the CD on one of those lettered streets in DC. 7.17.07. When Ryan did it live, acoustically with “Only One” when the "Paper Walls" album was current. When the green vinyl version arrived.
