I think that the label "noise pop" as applied by these guys to to make the 100 Essential Noise Pop Songs list is so broad that it's meaningless, but I do like every song on the mix, which never happens.
So I'm going to be posting 100 more noise pop songs, which will just be stuff I like too, for every year that they did. It's not better or anything, just more. (Plenty of them are the songs I woulda picked first.)
1970 through '80
1970:
Their pick:
Velvet Underground, "Rock and Roll."
Confusions, "Voice From the Inner Soul."
1972:
Their pick:
Big Star, "The Ballad of El Goodo."
My pick:
Roxy Music, "Re-Make/Re-Model"
1980:
Their pick:
The Feelies, "The Boy With Perpetual Nervousness."
My pick:
Pylon, "Feast on My Heart."
(to be continued…)
