DAY 2 of the 30 Day Song Challenge, alternative music styles!
Each day I’ll post the challenge and you share some of your favorite songs that meet the challenge!
One may be the loneliest number, but this community is nearly 2000 strong!
I mean, Song 2 by Blur.
Made to make fun of grunge and instead made a banger of a grunge-ish song.
lol
I’ll see if I can count to 10
One Week - Barenaked Ladies
Two Worlds Apart - Little Sims
Three Little Birds - Bob Marley
Four Out of Five - Arctic Monkeys (two for one)
Six Blade Knife - Dire Straits
Seven Nation Army - White Stripes
Eight Miles High - The Byrd’s
N95 - Kendrick Lamar (couldn’t think of a better “9” song)
Ten Years Gone - Led Zeppelin
@Andjhostet @ren @alternativenation 9 to 5 Dolly Parton
How could I forget my girl Dolly, I love that song. Thanks.
And another excellent song from the same album: Smashing Pumpkins - Thirty-Three
Beat me to it.
Two princes - spin doctors
I had to.
spin doctors. so alternative and not mainsty pop at all.
should ban you for putting that in my head! lolol
For me:
Jill Scott “One is the Magic #”
Grizzly Bear “Two Weeks”
Bright Eyes “Four Winds”
Here’s 15 songs with numbers in order for our 15th anniversary! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7o3o0pqUg0i9mSqq6PrA59?si=RY43pXFcR-K_JMvxgO9dBg
3’s & 7’s by Queens of the Stone Age
Blind Melon - Three is a Magic Number - surprised this didn’t get mentioned sooner.
Elliott Smith - Thirteen - Sure, I could have gone with a Smith original, but I love this version of Thirteen.
The first thing that came to mind is
15 Step - Radiohead
A couple others that came to mind that people might not know.
5 years time - Noah and the Whale
1878 - The Dear Hunter
Thirteen Hours - Andy Shauf
Speaking of Andy Shauf, have you listened to Foxwarren?
I have! I do like them too but not as much as Andy Shauf’s solo stuff
I love the Foxwarren album but have only listened to pockets of Andy’s stuff. Any recommendation of where to jump in?
The Neon Skyline is my favorite of his and also the first album I heard from him. The Party is also pretty good. Both are concept albums so I would recommend listening to them straight through.
Thanks, will give them a go!
15 step is so good
Someone beat me to Four Winds but …
40’ - Franz Ferdinand
504 - Old 97s
1970 In Aspic - Robyn Hitchcock
2 Time - Architecture in Helsinki
and an old number-based favourite:
88 Lines About 44 Women - The Nails
Forty Six & 2 - Tool
Sixteen Saltines - Jack White
Eighties - Killing Joke
O.N.E. - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
The Four Horsemen - Aphrodite’s Child
I have a few more songs with one in it but I don’t think they mean it as a number, like “We are One” by Buckethead feat. Serj Tankian (very interesting music video)
17 Crimes -AFI
25 or 6 to 4 -Chicago
oh man you got me with chicago. that bass.
Quite a good cover version of that was done by Bruce Foxton , former bassist from The Jam, only made it as far as a B side though.
That was pretty decent, thanks for the rec
I’m surprised no one has said “One”. I guess Metallica’s global fame is starting to fade.
Probably the only Metallica song I ever liked - got to be coming up on nearly 40 years old at this point, eh?
I’m not the first person to post 2112, am I?
I thought about it. It’s an absolutely epic and essential song for any classic rock or prog fan. But I felt that it fell outside of alternative
Oh, oops, I misread the title
Bonus tracks:
Infected Mushroom - 9%
Infected Mushroom & Matisyahu - One Day
Ooh, and also Infected Mushroom - After 1000 YearsE: yes there is a theme, my autistic brain found something it likes and we’re sticking to it lol (I do enjoy loads of other music, but if I need to choose to put something on, it’ll always be IM)
