Nope. I’m pretty sure everyone has heard that chumbawumba song.

Just heard Plaineclothes Man for the first time last week. I love it when I find new music that really speaks to me, there’s so much good stuff out there right now.

I’ve already heard All Star by Smash Mouth.

Reminds me of a saying, “that some of the best days of our lives haven’t happened yet”.

I just heard of reverend beat-man from watching righteous gemstones. That song black metal is sick

I’m an uber driver. I had a passenger and we got to discussing what kind of music she likes. She said “Little Wing” so I told Siri to play some “Little Wing”. Of course Siri knew what I was asking for and played some Lil Wayne.

Passenger said she liked Lil Wayne because he’s got different moods. “Sometimes I just wanna chill, you know? Like it ain’t gotta be all go-go-go all the time you know?”

So I asked her if she’d heard any BB King before. She said “Who’s that?” So I told Siri to play The Thrill is Gone by BB King.

She was like “Ooooooh! This is chill as fuck thank you!”

I had just learned about BB King the previous day from another passenger, when I had the Grateful Dead playing some blues. The passenger from the day before was an old hippie, and she was telling me about seeing BB King and Led Zeppelin at a place called The Psychedelic Supermarket in Salem, MA back in the 70s.

I also showed this younger passenger Since I’ve Been Loving You by Led Zeppelin. She was so stoked to have some new music to get her friends to chill to, since they all into that go-go-go music all the time.

I love being someone in a position to introduce people to new music. I love my job.

It might not even be written yet.

I don’t know why, but it just seems so weird that you can go back 30 years and no one would have any awareness of a lot of songs that everyone knows today. They were only up to like Mambo Number 2 or Hey I’ll Think About It! Nickelback didn’t yet exist but if they did, they’d be singing to look at this thing they are doing right now, maybe take a photograph.

Go back 100 years and no one has any awareness of entire genres of music loved by billions today. It was almost an entirely different culture with popular hits like classical music, Take Me Out To The Ballgame, or You Are My Sunshine and other songs that are considered children’s music today.

Sorry I disagree. Barbie girl - Aqua has already been written, and most people know it.

What about the past 250,000 years of lost music?

Nope. I’ve heard Jeff Buckley’s version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah and Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt.

One of those is the best, but I can’t pick. They both are so moving - as mere covers! - that the odds are low of anything better coming out.

And then Farrel’s Happy, so yeah.

Might not even be in your language

In fact, the odds are you will never hear the song you’d like best.

Doubtful. I already own Echolyn’s “Mei”. Hard to believe there’s any song I’d like more.

That being said, I’m always on the lookout for new music. I’d love to find a song better than “Mei”, despite how impossible that seems to me.

There’s a good chance that you’d a have a new favorite song every day if you could listen to all of them. We’re constantly changing and they would probably speak to us differently on different days.

Well the greatest song in the world was famously performed by Jack Black and Kyle Gass, and they can’t remember how it went
