Go Bankrupt and Die by the Crucifarks is an obvious one.

Low Budget by The Kinks?

What a bunch of crap songs.
aAlso, can someone translate this for me?
"In the words of Metric (whose concert your lovely Editrixes have spent their last remaining $$ to attend, next week a the 9:30 club): "money is a sick muse.""

Well, if it helps the 9:30 Club is a venue in DC. NPR's All Songs Considered podcast records some concerts there and puts 'em in iTunes for you to download and listen to in their entirety. Heard some sweet concerts by the Raconteurs, Mogwai, and a bunch of other people.

Oh No! - Gogol Bordello (pops)

Rule #1: A fifteen song playlist shouldn't include more than one song per band. Two Stereophonics songs? Three Beatles songs? Plus the Rolling Stones version of a song that most most people associate with the Beatles?

Rule #2: Please try to allot yourself no more than two glaringly obvious choices. (See the aforementioned Beatles and Stones songs, plus Pink Floyd's "Money."). Try to attain at least a small amount of creativity in your writing.


If the average (or below-average) pop/classic rock radio listener could come up with your list, it's probably not very creative, or worth anyone's time to read.

Horrible, and horribly written, list. Very rarely do I ask this, but seriously, how the hell did this get greenlit?

I farking hate going to 9:30, but once you're there it's okay. I used to travel there a lot from southern maryland and they let me sit at the bar most of the time cause I was alone and never tried to buy booze. they let me take pictures a lot too.

That's a sh*tty list.

Two good ones...

Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money) (new window)

Off the top of my head:

Peter Gabriel - "Excuse Me"
Frank Zappa - "Trouble Every Day"
Kevin Gilbert - "Goodness Gracious"
Most of Act One of "Les Miserables"
Supertramp - "Poor Boy"
Hank Williams - "Mansion on the Hill"
Paul Simon - "Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes"

"When Black Friday comes
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the gray men
When they dive from the fourteenth floor"

Aw dammit, Dels.

You got me.

I agree with all of this. And extra negative points for lacking any subtlety and basically choosing a ton of songs with money in the title.

KMFDM ..MONEY!

Ant: Low Budget by The Kinks?

Great minds think alike because that's the first one I thought of.

No, 400 Bucks- Rev Horton Heat. Crappy Song List.

I'm partial to the repo man lounge version
