The Omega section: Tracks 101-80

The bottom quindrant (whats a quadrant thats actually part of five? anyone? quindrant can't be correct), but still, that still makes them better than the 6000+ songs in my library that failed to make the cut (take that, Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn"). Of course, I couldn't cut it down to just 100, though i suppose just not including number 101 would have done just that. But I can't bear to. So here goes:

101. "A Certain Cemetery"- Pretty Girls Make Graves
100. "Inmates"- The Good Life
The centerpiece on a great concept album/song cycle, great wordplay from Tim Kasher, and the first of many songs on the list that a) top the eight minute mark and b) have a female guest singer
99. "Plans"-Bloc Party
98. "B-13"- Jump, Little Children
One of three or four songs I like by a band I'm mostly indifferent too, yet seem to keep making these lists
97. "St. John the Divine"- Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
96. "Chinatown"- Jets to Brazil
95. "Crystal Ship"- The Doors
94. "Between the Bars"- Elliott Smith
93. "Half a Person"- The Smiths
92. "China Girl"- David bowie
91. "Problems and Bigger Ones"- Harvey Danger
Someday I'll make a mix of the songs that got me through eighth grade, and I'll probably call it Problems and Bigger Ones. Either that or, Aly Post, why won't you go out with me?
90. "Happiness is a Warm Gun"- The Beatles
At one point in time, I think this was my favorite song. I'm not sure why. I think I was troubled back then.
89. "From the Trapeze"- Mayday
Heres the dilemma I have with these things. I've absolutely adored this song for about three months, whereas I've counted the previous one as among my favorites since elementary school. How do you judge those together? How do you weigh that? The obvious answer is probably you spend your time worrying about more important things, or, more succinctly, who cares, but still. Inquiring mind wants to know.
88. "Scared Straight"- The Long Winters
87. "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright"- Bob Dylan
86. "Excerpts from Various Notes Strewn Around the Bedroom of April Conn0lly, Feb 24, 1997"- Cursive
Definitely the longest song title on the list
85. "La Cienega Just Smiled"- Ryan Adams
84. "Anthems for a 17-Year-Old Girl" Broken Social Scene
83. "Time and Time Again"- Counting Crows
What still gets me about this song is Adam Duritz's sarcastic exhalation in the line "maybe someday I won't be so lonely/and I'll walk on water (ha) every chance I get." Its kind of fantastic, in a dorky, bitter sort of way.
82. "Alone Again Or"- Love
seriously people. go buy a Love album. thank me later.
81. "American Music"- Violent Femmes

that's the first entry. four more where that came from.

the suspense is terrible...I hope it lasts.
