DRC Madness #42

[scotchandcigar]

"The The" is a formal name of the band.

Then how about The Who? Or The Doors?

 

[Channel98]

"I would like to vote for Guess Who." "I don't know. Who?" "Not Who. Guess Who." "I told you I don't know. Tell me who." "Guess Who." "I can't guess who." "You just said their name." "If I said their name, then who did I guess?" "You didn't guess Who. You guessed Guess Who." "I did? I don't even know what I'm talkin' about!"

Then how about The Who? Or The Doors?

I would remove the The from these. It is very simple. If you were to put 'The Doors "Baby Light My Fire"' in your list and sadchild pub 'Doors "Baby Light My Fire"' in his, they would both be there and not filtered out by my duplicate check. Neither would likely make the eventual top 256 list as the vote would be split. Therefore, I would simply ask that you drop the "The" from the front of all bands except for "The The" or a band called just "The" for the sake of duplicate checking. You guys really don't make anything easy.

 

[Channel98]

Would Megan Thee Stallion be shown as "Megan e Stallion"?

Seems like you've found your North Star on this.

This will happen, right after you've made the Whitney Houston cover of Horse With No Name your #1 song.

 

[sadchild]

The only time I leave a "The" in a band name is 1) if it's a phrase 2) it looks/sounds bizarre without it.

Here are all of my "the" artists:

The Airborne Toxic Event
The Firm
The Pains of Being Pure At Heart
The Plot In You
The Pursuit Of Happiness
The Sound Of Arrows
The Time

 

[Channel98]

the Whitney Houston cover of Horse With No Name

"If I.....had a horse
I would give him a name, of course
Through the desert we would go
And this one thing I know
I-I-I will always love him
For how many years? Very many
And my high-pitched whiny voice
Is much louder than his whinny"

I agree that a band simply called "Firm" sounds very different.

The Pursuit Of Happiness

I liked those guys. "I'm an Adult Now" was a fun track.

 

[scotchandcigar]

I liked those guys. "I'm an Adult Now" was a fun track.

I just looked it up. Thank god it wasn't a 90's song I missed.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I just looked it up. Thank god it wasn't a 90's song I missed.

"I'm an Adult Now" original recording made it to #35 in Canada in 1986. It did not chart in the USA that year. They re-recorded it and it made it to #22 on the Hot 100 and #6 on the Modern Rock chart in January of 1990. So if you liked the song, it would qualify for the 1990 unmadness/madness. But please record it as 'Pursuit of Happiness "I'm an Adult Now"'. You can just let me know what number to insert it at if so desired.

I will include it in my list as it is the 1990 version I am familiar with.

 

[scotchandcigar]

Time for another great 90s video flashback. Stone Temple Pilots pull the old switcheroo on Letterman

 

[Wolf]

I want to start organizing the rest of my '90s list. Currently, work has been crazy, and I've been putting in quite a bit of overtime. So far, I only have the 1990 rankings completed, along with some songs eliminated from that list.

 

[HecticArt]

I think that I have my list of songs together. It will take a little while to rank them though.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

It is a lot easier when you are given a list of songs to choose from. It is taking me a while as well (although hockey games through June has also taken a toll on available time.

 

[HecticArt]

It's nearly impossible to give them proper rankings. Depending on my mood at the time, the order could be quite different.
There are 187.

[scotchandcigar]

A number of songs that I may have included, if I was reminded of them.

Rentals - Friends of P.

They headlined a show I saw in '95, on Lansdowne Street in Boston. Tracy Bonham opened for them, she did "Mother Mother" before the album was released.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I have been reminded and am adding to mine.
