About g-mo

The day I was born, Michael Jackson's Thriller album was at the top of the Billboard 200. I've been trying my best to live up to that expectation ever since.

    Never heard the Muse song, but I definitely dig it. Unfortunately, some recent awful karaoke renditions of Love Shack have soured me on an otherwise fun song.

    Am I going crazy or is there something weird going on from 2:26 – 2:35 in I Will Survive??

    Due to Pandora’s obsession with this song on all my classic rock stations i’ve developed quite a disdain for it … that and John Mayer

    Love Shack is more fun than it is good. Muse makes better songs than Starlight…

    Magnificent Seven (Clash) 5
    No Woman No Cry (Bob Marley & The Wailers) 8.5
    Enjoyed Magnificent Seven on some levels. It irked me on others. I enjoy No Woman No Cry on ALL levels, other than its slow pace.

    Cry Baby (Janis Joplin) 8
    Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) 7
    Both great songs. Cry Baby has amazing energy, the talking parts bring it down a bit. Sultans of Swing is a good song, real mellow. Not quite up there with Janis.

    Angel of the Morning (Juice Newton) 5
    I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor) 9
    I know Angel is a good song, just don’t feel it. I will survive is a phenomenal song.

    Holiday (Green Day) 8
    Titus Andronicus (Titus Andronicus) 4
    Holiday is really well put together. Hits on alot of different levels. Titus made me want to turn it off. I don’t like being yelled at that much…

    I really like the chorus of Angel of the Morning…only its the entirety fo the damn 4 minute song… not a recipe for success.

    Where is Lost in the Supermarket? By far the best Clash song, and a definite contender for best song of all time. I think I’d give that song a 10. This song is… well, let’s just say Blondie’s “Rapture” has the same beat and is a much better example of weird disco rap (1:55): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHCdS7O248g

    Cry Baby (Janis Joplin) 5.5
    Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) 10
    I don’t think that I’ve heard this Dire Straits song before, but just about everything about this song seems perfect.

    Angel of the Morning (Juice Newton) 6
    I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor) 8.5
    An excellent match up, but Gloria dominates. What a voice. That song will never fail to rock you post-break up. I mean, if you’re a lady. It seems to have a different effect on men.

    Muse was nice but got sorta boring near the end. Love Shack is fun, but pretty mediocre in comparison to others here. I highly doubt either of these songs will make it past 256.

    Magnificent Seven (Clash) 3
    No Woman No Cry (Bob Marley & The Wailers) 7.5

    Cry Baby (Janis Joplin) 5.5
    Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) 9

    For many years I have claimed that a woman that can pull off the Knopfler solo that starts at 5:18 in Sultans of Swing would immediately win my heart. This song is awesome everytime I hear it, would be a shame if it doesn’t get to the 6-4.

    Angel of the Morning (Juice Newton) 6
    I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor) 7.5

    Angel of the Morning has a nice chorus for sure, it just seems really depressing. Not in a good Hallelujah way, more in a please stop singing way. I Will Survive starts at a 9.5 for me, but I don’t really dig the instrumental bridges- they just seem like built-in respites to give everyone at the wedding time to take off their suit jackets and put down their drinks.

    Holiday (Green Day) 8
    Titus Andronicus (Titus Andronicus) 6

    Holiday was a pleasant, pleasant surprise. TA is a little too much for me right now.

    I dug what Mick Jones tried to do in the 80s – in theory. Sometimes he really pulled it off. But not all the time.

    Cry Baby (Janis Joplin) vs. Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) = 7 to 8.5

    Angel of the Morning (Juice Newton) vs. I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor) = 5 to 6.5

    Holiday (Green Day) vs. Titus Andronicus (Titus Andronicus) = 4 to 6.5
