I’ve just seen the
tracklist for Noel Gallagher’s new album. You couldn’t make it up, could you. “While
The Song Remains The Same”... Oh Noel.
These are five of my
favourite songs on the subject.
#5. Pink Floyd –
“Flaming”
Syd Barrett’s
whimsical genius. Trippin’ or not, this has to be the most psychedelic song
about not giving a damn.
#4. The Beautiful
South – “Song For Whoever”
Paul Heaton on top of
his songwriting game. The game: insert the name of a girl. The most cynical
song about not giving a damn.
#3. John Lennon –
“Watching The Wheels”
For me, the only way
to listen to Double Fantasy is to
treat it as a 7-song mini- album. Well, you know. As for “Watching The Wheels”,
it might be the most romantic song about not giving a damn.
#2. A House – “I
Don’t Care”
Sometimes you want to
overstate the importance of what is forgotten, but I Am The Greatest truly is one hell of a record. And “I Don’t Care”
is the most straightforward song about not giving a damn.
#1. Eels – “I Like
Birds”
Daisies Of The Galaxy is and (I believe) will always be Eels’ best album.
“I Like Birds” is the best song about not giving a damn.
Haha. Your best so far. Never heard of A House, but that song is fucking brilliant. More lists are coming I hope?
ReplyDeleteWell, it's fucking brilliant that you enjoyed it. Irish band, had a couple of great albums in early 90s.
ReplyDeleteAs for these lists, I don't know. A few more I guess.
