that's 80s, right?  i'd have to go with the acoustic version of "detroit has a skyline too" for superchunk

In no particular order, 10 off the top of me head:
 (not indie label but) My Bloody Valentine "Soon"
 Low "Shame"
 Wesley Willis "Rock and Roll McDonalds"
 Nirvana "Dive"
 Jesus Lizard "Gladiator"
 Fugazi "Repeater"
 Shudder to Think "Vacation Brain"
 B-Rock and the Bizz "My Baby Daddy"
 Sunny Day Real Estate "In Circles"
 and goddammit I know it came out in '89 but I'm sneaking in "Just to See You Smile" by Spacemen 3

Personally, as a whole I would pick "Return of the Frog Queen" over "Diary" and "The Rising Tide" over both of them, now how's THAT for some goddamn blasphemy? haha

didn't realize slack was that old.  guess i'd have to go with 'hyper enough' instead

[BookerT]

was anyone else at that superchunk show at the black cat like five or six years ago where they let a fan write the setlist and just played tons of old hits and covers? i think the encore was "born to run," "gold soundz," "detroit has a skyline" and maybe "seed toss." goddamn that was a fun show.
