I finally got around to listening to Murray Street - the first half was fine & then they got into the long dirging(?) guitar wankery .. and I said, "well, it wouldn't be a Sonic Youth record without them throwing in ten minutes of dickin' around on the guitar.."

So - carry on the theme:
"It wouldn't be ___ without ____."

... a Suede record without lyrical references to one or more of poison, nuclear, you and me (or me and you), and that throaty thing he does in the middle of words (you know what that is).

...a Kevin Rowland record without a crazed self-justifying confessional moment.

(unless it was the theme to 'brush strokes')

...a so solid record without repeated reference to hatas.

....a Killing Joke record without doomy soothsaying and visions of impending apocalypse.

...a Robyn Hithcock record without needlessly surreal allusions to fish.

that should've been HitCHcock, of course.

"because of you/these things i do"

It wouldn't be New Order or Electronic or Barney Sumner without dumb lyrics. Except Movement but the ghost of Ian Curtis is responsible for that I guess.

And it wouldn't be Sigur Ros without that damned whale whistling.

...it wouldn't be the Cocteau Twins without washes of dreamy guitar dithering and paragraphs of patented Fraser-gibberish.

It wouldnt be a Nikki Sudden song without someone wearing a black velvet jacket at some point.

Review of a post-"Loser" Beck album / Mention of how he's proved himself to not really be a "Loser" at all! Oh ho ho!

an emo or pop-punk song with the word "relationship" somewhere in the lyrics

― Aaron W, Saturday, 12 October 2002 03:03 (twenty-three years ago)

... a song off of "Loveless" if I could understand all of the lyrics.
... an ILM thread without an MBV mention.

six months pass...

.. Kitchens of Distinction song without a reverb-y guitar solo at the end.. Although, I could listen to an endless loop of that.

...a new Sisters of Mercy album without hell freezing over.

It wouldn't be a Dylan album without a song about a mean, nasty woman who done him wrong.

Psychedelic Furs without stupid use of the word 'stupid'
