did not expect to see any lykke li make these rounds. interesting choice.
Cherplunka, I figured it out. I don't remember the film (working at a theater for four years, you see lotsa movies), but I know there's a scene where Will Ferrel is singing dust in the wind at a funeral. it's a painfully off-key arrangement, but it's not a maraichi band.
It's close, but not quite the droid you were looking for.

Radiohead - Exit Music (for a Film)
The Decemberists - The Tain
U.N.K.L.E. - Rabbit in Your Headlights
You don't see too much of the Deal sisters anymore, and I consider that a shame.
Also, Monkey Gone to Heaven was one of first songs by the Pixies (it was one of the first ones I heard from them) that really made me sit up and say "Whoah, now these guys are something special."
for a brief moment of time i thought i hoped i was related to kim deal. didn't work out that way.
Ha! Oh man, bummer.
Kim Deal singing "Gigantic" is about as good as it gets.

2. MSTRKRFT- Fist of God
3. Daft Punk- Human After All
4. 10cc- Dreadlock Holiday

7. The Happy Mondays- Hallelujah
8. The Prodigy- Smack My Bitch Up
9. LCD Soundsystem- North American Scum
10. Reverand and the Makers- Heavy Weight Champion of the World
11. The Violent Femmes- Add it up
12. Joy Division- Love Will Tear Us Apart.
13. Cassius- 15 Again
14. The Dubliners- On Raglan Road
15. The Decemberists- 16 Military Wives
16. Flock of Seagulls- I Ran (So Far Away) {you know you love this song}
17. Justice- D.A.N.C.E.
18. Golgol Bordello- Wonderlust King
19. The Faces- Ooh La La (absolute classic)
20. Placebo- Pure Morning
Lots of honorable mentions like The Postal Service, Death Cab, The Crystal Method, The Human League, The Clash, New Order, Goose, Rage Against the Machine, The Talking Heads, and some were omited because of duplicates, like Blur, Radiohead, Cake (Think its funny how loving Cake is universal). Plus I almost entirely disregarded genres like Punk or Classic Rock. Screw it I can't work on this any longer. Suffice to say this would be the playlist as I see it today.
My former-self, and my future-self would be disappointed in me though.
\edit I should have never finalized this all I do is remember things I forgot about like The Shins- Sleeping Lessons. fml I'm such a music Nazi.
I just registered here to second that these top two songs are 1) amazing and 2) probably underexposed - I know at least the Wolf Parade one is. When I stumbled upon that song in 2005 I made everyone and their dog listen to it. Most people don't immediately love it, but dang if it doesn't grow on you. That Wilco song is a "grower" even more so.
Now I gotta go put together my own 20...
Animal Collective - My Girls
Arcade Fire - Wake Up
Beach Boys - God Only Knows
David Bowie - Life on Mars?
Elliott Smith - Say Yes
Flaming Lips - Do You Realize?
The Jayhawks - Blue
Joy Division - Shadowplay
Massive Attack - Angel
Mew - The Zookeeper's Boy
Muse - Take A Bow
Nirvana - Drain You
Pinback - Grey Machine
Pixies - Debaser
The Smiths - How Soon is Now?
The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored
Tom Waits - San Diego Serenade
Underwold - Two Months Off
Wilco - Poor Places
Wolf Parade - I'll Believe In Anything
- Todd
I'll get my list posted later.
I'm related to Ben Franklins wife, you don't hear me bragging about it! ....
Also, lists need to be posted tonight man. Read the rules, and post!
Flownover, welcome to Icrontic! Any man who registers because of Wolf Parade is a friend of mine! Pull up a barstool, we're a friendly bunch.
A great list you've posted as well. Animal collective, Flaming lips, Joy Division, massive attack, and Tom Waits! Great stuff, especially Tom Waits. I didn't expect to see anything from him on these lists.
