Insufferable Music Snob, round two

[sabotabby]

[Poll #1229220]

1. Stern Lecture #1: What do you mean you've never heard of Phil Ochs? Go to Limewire and download all of the songs in the poll. You don't even need to feel guilty about illegally downloading his music because, well, he's dead.

2. Stern Lecture #2: You are Wrong. Go download the songs and listen again.

I have a feeling that one is going to win.

You need to think of a different title. Music snob? Does not apply.

But cheesy songs might be funny.

[sabotabby]

Disclaimer: The songs that I find cheesy might not be songs that other people find cheesy.

Hmm. Insufferable Music Snob Exposed As Not So Snobby After All.

No what I meant was, it should be called guess sabo's music. It's about your music tastes not music snobbery. ;) I don't think even I could pull off music snobbery with my music, especially since I like 90s dance music, for just an example. Ah well, no worries.

I'm in a good mood because I just found out that the convention I'm on staff for is not having its staff dead dog party and banquet at the hotel people are boycotting in Baltimore. Huzzah.

Something else by Phil Ochs - Ringing of Revolution:

That is a good one. I don't like the tune as much as some of his others, though.

Cheezy music ftw!

YOU MADE ME PICK BETWEEN PHIL OCHS SONGS
//SOBS

I had to choose Marchin', for the way he sings it. When I'm Gone is neck and neck, tho.

[sabotabby]

"When I'm Gone" wins because it breaks my heart every time I hear it and makes me angry that he's dead.

I went to a Phil Ochs tribute tonight. There's a local singer who is probably the world's only Phil Ochs impersonator, and he does it very, very well. (His own music is also awesome.) Hence the poll, because with every song, I was all, "This is the best song!"

[faithhopetricks.livejournal.com]

Damn, I forgot There But For Fortune, too. That's lovely.

When I was more depressive I would have tried here to justify "No More Songs." As my mental health currently stands, I voted for LMIAL, the song that made me start obsessing in the first place.

[sabotabby]

I haven't heard "No More Songs."

bwah?

Please mentally de-snark the icon.

[sabotabby]

That sounds awesome. Downloading it seems to be a bit of a challenge.

Yeah, that's up there.

Glad you approve.

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

I would just like to point out that my iTunes library has 88 Phil Ochs tracks in it plus Billy Bragg's I Dreamed I Saw Phil Ochs Last Night

[sabotabby]

AS WELL IT SHOULD.

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

I voted for "There but for fortune" but I'd also put a shout in for "Here's to the state of Mississippi"

[sabotabby]

Good point. I almost put that one on too.

Man, I can't believe more people didn't pick I ain't marching anymore, it has got to be in the top 25 anti-war songs ever.

P.S. I thought you might appreciate this:

[sabotabby]

Is good, innit?

[sabotabby]

It's one of my favourite anti-war songs, but "When I'm Gone" is one of my favourite songs period.
