Zoals de titel al aangeeft: een band of artiest moet voorkomen in de songtekst.
dus NIET alleen in de titel! Voor mensen die het nummer niet zouden kennen, is het misschien handig de artiesten/bands te vermelden.

100. Janez Detd. - You!
"Now I feel trashed Alice Cooper sings" en "Why'd you leave me at that Guns 'N Roses show?"
99. Sum41 - Fat Lip
"Maiden and Priest were the gods that we praised" (voor de duidelijkheid: Iron Maiden en Judas Priest)

avatar van chevy93
98. Don McLean - American Pie

(John) Lennon is de enige die letterlijk genoemd wordt.

Maar verder een heleboel verwijzingen;
The Seargeants = The Quartet = The Beatles
The Jester = Bob Dylan
the King = Elvis
Jack = Mick Jagger
a Girl = Janis Joplin
Three Men = Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Richie Valens.

97. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama (Neil Young)
Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ol' Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

96. Janez Detd. - 1983
Uiteraard een ode aan het gezegende jaar 1983 met tal van verwijzingen naar song- en albumtitels en uiteraard artiesten:
"Maiden had the trooper, Ramones had psycho therapy
While Bryan, he just cuts like a knife...
Slayer showed no mercy
While Bad Religion went 'into the unknown'.
And Bowie wanted to dance...
Michael thrilled the planet and Chesney Hawkes,
I loved that guy, I'm telling you 'he was the one and only'!
I'll hold a special place when ZZ TOP
We had Bronski Beat and Megadeth,
Run DMC began to rap
And Jon Bon Jovi started up a band
Metallica had 'kill 'em all'
Exploited sang 'let's start a war'
And Sting was counting 'every breath you took'...
The eighties got me hooked..."

avatar van The Scientist
95. Snow Patrol - Hands Open
"Put Sufjan Stevens on, and we'll play your favorite song"

avatar van GrafGantz
94. Weezer - El Scorcho

I asked you to go to the Green Day concert
You said you never heard of them
How cool is that?
So I went to your room and read your diary

avatar van GrafGantz
93. Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag

I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden baby
Come with me Friday - don't say maybe.

avatar van GrafGantz
92. dEUS - Fell Off The Floor, Man

Let's say yeah like a James Brown thing.

avatar van GrafGantz
91. LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk Is Playing at My House

There's a freakout brewin' at my house, my house
In the basement...
'Cause Daft Punk is playing at my house, my house

avatar van The Scientist
90. Wilco - Heavy Metal Drummer
"I miss the innocence I've known, playing Kiss covers beautiful and stoned"

avatar van itchy
89. Pavement - Range Life

Out on tour with the smashing pumpkins
Nature kids, i/they don't have no function
I don't understand what they mean
And I could really give a fuck.


The stone temple pilots,
They're elegant bachelors
They're foxy to me are they foxy to you?
I will agree there isn't absolutely nothing
Nothing more than me

avatar van itchy
88. Sebadoh - Gimme Indie Rock

Started back in '83
Started seeing things a differently
And hardcore wasn't doin' it for me no more
Started smoking pot
Thought things sounded better slow
Much slower, heavier
Black magic melody to sink this poseur's soul

VU Stooges undeniably cool
Took a lesson from that drone rock school
Manipulate musicians hack righteous drool
Getting loose with the Pussy Galore
Cracking jokes like a Thurston Moore
Peddle hopping like a Dinosaur, J...

Rock and Roll genius, ride the middle of the road
Milk that sound, blow your load
Shoot it further than you ever said it go
Four stars in the Rolling Stone

Oooh sludge rock,
That's hard as harsh
Just gimme indie rock!
It's gone big
Come on indie rock
Just give me indie rock

Taking inspiration from Husker Du
It's a new generation
Of electric white boy blues
Come on indie rock
It's gone big
Come on indie rock
Just give me indie rock

Breaking down the barriers
Like Sonic Youth
They got what they wanted
Maybe I can get what I want too
Come on indie rock
It's gone big
Come on indie rock
Just give me indie rock

Time to knock
The hard rock on it's side
Time to knock
The shit right up a storm
Turn to amaze
With the indie sludge
Grunge!
Aaah!

I'll go there, Pat Smear

Superchunk, Society
Sunset Strip, Screaming Skull
Society, Husker Du
Lemonheads, SST
I'd go there, but I don't care

I'll go there, Pat Fear

86 : American Music Club - Myopic Books

Leuk sfeertje dat Mark Eitzel hier neerzet :

one day i left my room
in the evening
it was freezing
the sidewalk shining
but it was ok
i wasn't lonely
i wasn't no one
i was just hoping
for a bookstore
like the one i prayed for
and the music they play there
would be Dinosaur jr
and the people who worked there
would be super skinny
and super unfriendly
and that would make me happy

avatar van GrafGantz
85. Commodores - Nightshift

Marvin, he was a friend of mine
And he could sing a song
His heart in every line
Marvin sang of the joy and pain
He opened up our minds
And I still can hear him say
Aw talk to me so you can see
What's going on
Say you will sing your songs
Forevermore (evermore)


Marvin Gaye dus...

84. Tocotronic - Ich Habe Geträumt, Ich Wäre Pizza Essen mit Mark E Smith

Ich habe geträumt ich wäre Pizza essen mit Mark E. Smith
Natürlich hat er mir erzählt wie scheußlich alles ist
Wir haben geredet und gesessen fast die ganze Nacht
Am Ende hat er mir erzählt wie man Platten macht

Ich hätte wirklich niemals nur im Traum daran gedacht
Doch ich habe sozusagen mit Mark E. Smith die Nacht verbracht

Geen probleem, zolang de artiest ook daadwerkelijk in de tekst voorkomt.
Ik pas even mijn eerste post aan. Wie is Caesar trouwens?

82. Wheatus - Truffles
"I saw her outside suckin' dick in the bathroom of the bus of the Iron Maiden cover band"

82. Bongwater - What if
Van het miskende meesterwerk The Power of Pussy

What if I took you to the edge
What if I pushed you off a ledge
What if I scratched all your Sister Sledge

De stichter heeft ook iets veranderd in de titel .... dus LCD Soundsystem mag blijven.

81. dEUS - Hotellounge

"I fell in love with Rickie Lee Jones' voice"

80. Belle & Sebastian - Expectations

"And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
For careers you say you want to be remembered for your art
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
Making life-size models of The Velvet Underground in clay"

avatar van Arrie
79. Belle & Sebastian - I'm a Cuckoo

"I'd rather be in Tokyo
I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
And watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo"

78. Hello Saferide - The Quiz

And I like your record collection
Townes and Jens with a hint of Rickie Lee

78. LCD Soundsystem - Losing My Edge

Yeah, I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge.
The kids are coming up from behind.
I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge to the kids from France and from London.
But I was there.

I was there in 1968.
I was there at the first Can show in Cologne.
I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge to the kids whose footsteps I hear when they get on the decks.
I'm losing my edge to the Internet seekers who can tell me every member of every good group from 1962 to 1978.
I'm losing my edge.

To all the kids in Tokyo and Berlin.
I'm losing my edge to the art-school Brooklynites in little jackets and borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered eighties.

But I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge, but I was there.
I was there.
But I was there.

I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge.
I can hear the footsteps every night on the decks.
But I was there.
I was there in 1974 at the first Suicide practices in a loft in New York City.
I was working on the organ sounds with much patience.
I was there when Captain Beefheart started up his first band.
I told him, "Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime."
I was there.
I was the first guy playing Daft Punk to the rock kids.
I played it at CBGB's.
Everybody thought I was crazy.
We all know.
I was there.
I was there.
I've never been wrong.

I used to work in the record store.
I had everything before anyone.
I was there in the Paradise Garage DJ booth with Larry Levan.
I was there in Jamaica during the great sound clashes.
I woke up naked on the beach in Ibiza in 1988.

But I'm losing my edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent.
And they're actually really, really nice.

I'm losing my edge.

I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagra record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit - 1985, '86, '87. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good '60s cut and another box set from the '70s.

I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record.

I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.
I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars.

I hear everybody that you know is more relevant than everybody that I know.

But have you seen my records? This Heat, Pere Ubu, Outsiders, Nation of Ulysses, Mars, The Trojans, The Black Dice, Todd Terry, the Germs, Section 25, Althea and Donna, Sexual Harrassment, a-ha, Pere Ubu, Dorothy Ashby, PIL, the Fania All-Stars, the Bar-Kays, the Human League, the Normal, Lou Reed, Scott Walker, Monks, Niagra,

Joy Division, Lower 48, the Association, Sun Ra,
Scientists, Royal Trux, 10cc,

Eric B. and Rakim, Index, Basic Channel, Soulsonic Force ("just hit me"!), Juan Atkins, David Axelrod, Electric Prunes, Gil! Scott! Heron!, the Slits, Faust, Mantronix, Pharaoh Sanders and the Fire Engines, the Swans, the Soft Cell, the Sonics, the Sonics, the Sonics, the Sonics.

You don't know what you really want. (x15)

76. Cake - Frank Sinatra

While Frank Sinatra sings stormy weather,
the flies and spiders get along together,
cobwebs fall on an old skipping record.

the judgement of the sacred fire of this hour,
