The Bus

Sixty-five seconds, twenty songs. Some easy, some not. I'll be impressed if someone gets all of them but everyone should at least know a couple.

Naming the artist isn't enough - get the song right too!

Ground rules:
- I have chosen all album tracks. No remixes, singles, B-sides, German import white labels, etc.
- All of these artists have been mentioned in threads here. No local bands. No unknowns.
- Two of these songs appear in movies by the same filmmaker.
- Most songs are from the last 15-20 years, with many from the last ten.

Guessed

David Bowie - "Queen Bitch"
... (Made a lot of best-of-2004 lists, not dissimilar to The Postal Service)
... (Band, album and song all have an animal in their name, band is a Mercury Prize nominee)
Antony and the Johnsons - "Fistful of Love"
Gang of Four - "Not Great Men"
... (Song from 1970's album picked in the MusicTalk draft)
Patti Smith - "Kimberly"
Sonic Youth - "Teen Age Riot'
Crystal Method - "Busy Child"
Portishead - "Wandering Star"
Stevie Wonder - "Superstition" "Livin' for the City" "You Haven't Done Nothin'"
Cannibal Ox - "Iron Galaxy"
Oliver Onions, "Zorro's Back"
Yazoo - "Don't Go"
Cocteau Twins - "Lorelei"
Madness - "Our House"
Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark - "Genetic Engineering"
The Doors - "Runnin' Blue"
Dead Kennedys - "Holiday in Cambodia"
Breeders - "S.O.S."


Numanoid I actually put that OMD clip in just for you. The fact that there's two one unrecognized songs from a draft album raises some questions with me.

Only 3 left to go!

The Bus

(Mods, I figured this would be OK since we have "name this scene" and "request a GIF" threads in the other forums).

DVD Josh

Well, Superstition (Stevie Wonder) is one of them.

The Bus

Stevie Wonder, yes, Superstition, no.

Drexl

I think the first one is "I Don't Want to Know" by Fleetwood Mac, and I think I heard "Our House" by Madness towards the end.

wendersfan

Definitely heard "Kimberly" by Patti Smith.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure it's "Livin' For the City".

"Don't Go" Yaz(oo).

Comedyman90

Play That Funky Music White Boy- Wild Cherry

Hollowgen

Busy Child - Crystal Method
Don't Go - Yaz
Wandering Star - Portishead
Queen Bitch - David Bowie
Our House - Madness
(Will Fill In) - Gang of Four

Dude, you should normalize this. it's really hard to hear!

The Bus

I'll keep that in mind next time around. My encoder deleted the original WAV file.

wendersfan

"Not Great Men", I think.

wendersfan

OK, OK, it's "You Haven't Done Nothin'"...

Hollowgen

thanks, i'm glad we can work as a team!



good game, good idear! glad my guesses were correct.

Andalusia

Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia

That's in there towards the end.

Numanoid

OMD - "Genetic Engineering"

Numanoid

 

Matt

Think I heard "Runnin' Blue" by the Doors in there toward the end. . .

Fandango

Cannibal Ox - Iron Galaxy

ChrisKnudsen

4th song is Fistful of Love by Antony and the Johnsons

ChrisKnudsen

Did I hear some Cocteau Twins in there?

ChrisKnudsen

Is the 2nd track a RJD2 song?

DrRingDing

i think i've got the artist for the final clip, but since i don't have any of the Breeders albums on me and won't for some time i can't check. (also on 4AD)

bus, are you listing them in track order?

ChrisKnudsen

Is there a riff of Magic Carpet Ride in between the final song and Holiday in Combodia?

ChrisKnudsen

Oliver Onions - Zorro is Back after the Cannibal Ox song, also did I hear some Stone Roses?

The Bus

No Stone Roses, no RJD2, no Magic Carpet Ride. Updated some clues. All songs are in order of appearance.

Lokimok

The song after Patti Smith is definitely off of Daydream Nation. I think it's that intro to Teen Age Riot (& the whole album)...
