Don't be shy.

Boast.

Lament that you didn't write Nirvana's catalogue or every Pixies tune.

Most TMBG and XTC songs. Also a fair amount of Sugarplastic ones.

There are a few riffs I have come up with before realising they have already been done. I would have written Jet Black River if Frank hadn't..
Carl Posted - 07/31/2005 : 08:39:49
A lot of Pixies songs! :)
cassandra is Posted - 07/31/2005 : 03:24:34

So so many. I couldn't possibly pick.


Don't believe the type!
SteveG Posted - 07/30/2005 : 01:45:25
Impossible to pick, but one would definitely be The Official Ironmen Rally Song - Guided by Voices

I wish I could claim the lyrics for the Tragically Hip's Little Bones...

i don't so much as wish i had written anyone elses song but "keeping in time" by Charles Thompson
made me realise how song writing is sorta simple yet not at all easy, that gets under my skin a bit.

I second that motion. I'm rather ashamed at myself for not having said that in my first post.
kathryn Posted - 07/24/2005 : 20:29:34
The first 18 seconds of "Island in the Sun."

"Fuck and run" for the music, not the lyrics.

"Johnny Feelgood," the sunniest dittie about crushing out. Infectiously gleeful.

"Whatever happened to Pong."

Seriously now. Maybe R.E.M. - At my most beautiful.

Or The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1, Neutral Milk Hotel. I love the lyrics on that one.

Everything Brian Wilson has ever written (well, MOST of it), especially "Roll Plymouth Rock" and "Wind Chimes" (not that those are my two favourite songs of his, just the songs I wish I had written the most. Also "Matilda Mother" by Syd Barrett.
