Asa-Chang & Junrei "Parlor" 2005
Self-proclaimed experimental musicians in other countries use musical devices other than Noise (capital N). Come on America, lets get it together, there are lots of good, new ideas out there that people actually want to listen to...as this track shows us. I'm not saying you can't get drunk, pummel your guitar, wreck your vocal chords, and give your drummer a heart attack. I'm just saying that sort of thing is being moved out of the "experimental" section and put in the "budget" section of your local record store.

Freur "Doot-Doot" 1983
Alright, I've been OBSESSED with this song for well over a year now. "Obsessed" in the deeply personal, emotional way, not in the wacky irony way. On paper, it doesn't sound that good:
-Made by guys who went on to be Underworld
-The chorus consists only of the words "Doot Doot"
-Contains serious amount of roto toms (the Phil Collins drum sound. You know what I mean.)
-Featured at the end of Vanilla Sky
But believe me, this is a great piece of music. Throw this on a mixtape to a girl and watch the pants fly off.
