Pretty much pure torture from beginning to end.

Like:
"I am the Resurrection"
"Step On"
Can bear:
"Animal nitrate"
"Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Everything else is either stuff I though was OK when I first heard it, but I've head way too many times (specifically "born slippy", "song 2 " "Panic", American Idiot") or stuff so bad I'd actually leave any party/disco if they played more than one of them in succession.

this is why i dropped out of university.

― nathalie (stevienixed), Saturday, 9 December 2006 12:52 (seventeen years ago) link

The amusing thing about all these compilations is that they're clearly put together by people who DON'T KNOW WHAT STUDENTS LISTEN TO AT ALL.

I mean, I don't know what students listen to these days. I'm assuming that The Smiths and Franz Ferdinand might be a good guess but I'm also pretty sure that none of them except maybe Louis Jagger are listening to Place Your Hands by Reef.*

*And none of them will be until Lytton Ewing goes to university.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 9 December 2006 12:54 (seventeen years ago) link

What we really need is for Dom Passantino to give his FINGER ON THE PULSE assessment of how studenty this record actually is. I was a bit worried that if I didn't request it, it wouldn't happen.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Saturday, 9 December 2006 12:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I would hope Louis had better taste than that.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Saturday, 9 December 2006 14:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Who are Reef?

The Smiths, Sigur Ros and Radiohead are the most popular student fare atm, of which I only approve of the latter.

― Louis Jagger (Scourage), Saturday, 9 December 2006 14:47 (seventeen years ago) link

I STRONGLY disapprove of EVERYTHING on these CDs except CD 1 tracks 10, 11, 16 and 19, and CD 2 tracks 10 and 20. If that's what students listen to...

*remembers how diabolical his contemporaries' tastes are*

...yeah, not particularly surprised.

― Louis Jagger (Scourage), Saturday, 9 December 2006 14:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I can safely say that I've never heard Arctic Monkeys, Dirty Pretty Things, Kaiser Chiefs, Automatic, or The Libertines.

A lot of the older tracks on this collection are things that they were running into the ground when I was in college a decade ago.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 9 December 2006 15:22 (seventeen years ago) link

worst cover art ever

― hm (modestmickey), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:33 (seventeen years ago) link

it is very poor yes

― sede vacante (blueski), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Bring back the unabomber.

― jim (jim), Saturday, 9 December 2006 16:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Some would say that those are good songs and you people are dorks. I would be one of them.

― kornrulez6969 (kornrulez6969), Saturday, 9 December 2006 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

why do we do this?

― acrobat (acrobat), Saturday, 9 December 2006 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I love the cover. Its all the things students love: guitars, beer, pylons, beans, and so much more.

The fact that anyone would put MCR and Fall Out Boy on the same disc with The Happy Mondays makes me sad inside.

On the upside, hopefully people who listen to that horse shit might hear stuff on this disc they otherwise woudln't?

― less-than three's Christiane F. (drowned in milk), Saturday, 9 December 2006 20:00 (seventeen years ago) link

The cover is actually pretty funny, I must admit.

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Saturday, 9 December 2006 20:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Fall Out Boy > Happy Mondays.

YSI?

― MAP (mattp), Saturday, 9 December 2006 20:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I mean, I don't know what students listen to these days.

FACEBOOK PULSE SEZ:

1. Jack Johnson
2. Coldplay
3. DMB
4. The Beatles
5. Green Day
6. Led Zeppelin
7. The Killers
8. Fall Out Boy
9. Red Hot Chili Peppers
10. Sublime

(but of course Facebook leans American in its tastes)

I hope you mean "the former."

― step hen faps (Curt1s Stephens), Saturday, 9 December 2006 20:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, at Cambridge the top ten reads thusly:

1. The Killers
2. Coldplay
3. The Beatles
4. Radiohead
5. Bob Dylan
6. Jack Johnson
7. Oasis
8. Jeb Fuckley
9. Snow Patrol
10. The Strokes

(when I mentioned The Smiths and Sigur Ros I was referring to the 'highbrow' (sigh) music tastes, there's a lot of shit you gotta get through before you even reach that point)

NO I MEANT THE LATTER, a man's gotta have his weaknesses, and I really don't care much for the Smiths (although I realise that I will regret saying that one day).

― Louis Jagger (Scourage), Saturday, 9 December 2006 20:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Fall Out Boy > Happy Mondays. you obviously have never heard Fall Out Boy

― less-than three's Christiane F. (drowned in milk), Saturday, 9 December 2006 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Can't I like Happy Mondays and Fall Out Boy?

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Saturday, 9 December 2006 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

A few good songs and a few shitty ones, can't understand what's that big deal with it.

― zeus (zeus), Saturday, 9 December 2006 21:31 (seventeen years ago) link

lol at person in their 30s.

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Saturday, 9 December 2006 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm under 30 but Fall Out Boy are the worst band of all time

― sede vacante (blueski), Saturday, 9 December 2006 21:47 (seventeen years ago) link

You don't even like Bowling for Soup, get out.

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Saturday, 9 December 2006 22:02 (seventeen years ago) link

As a student I hardly condone this.

― mehlt (mehlt), Sunday, 10 December 2006 08:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I quite like Fall Out Boy but since the Mondays are still, possibly, on some days, the GREBTEST FOCKING BAND EVER it was clearly an inept statement. (Wuz listening to Yes Please in the car yesterday and, as I always do, thinking about how stupidly underrated it is.)

― My Life in the Ghosts of Bush (Modal Fugue), Sunday, 10 December 2006 12:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I based the statement on the fact that the Happy Mondays are shite while if a Fall Out Boy song comes on the radio it doesn't bother, I might even slightly enjoy it. But that's probably because I'm not old enough to remember listening to the Mondays at a formative stage in my life (doubt even Louis Jagger of today's youth would listen to them).

Aren't you the cunt who wanted Wagemann back?

― jim (jim), Sunday, 10 December 2006 18:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Back when I were a student and it were all fields round here I remember reading a survey that claimed that students' favourite song was 'Stay Now' by Hazel O'Connor.

Most of you won't have heard it, you should count yourself lucky.

No! no no no; this is a misunderstanding; it's not what it seems!!

― less-than three's Christiane F. (drowned in milk), Sunday, 10 December 2006 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

when i was in college most people liked pop music...the same as in the rest of the earth....

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 10 December 2006 18:38 (seventeen years ago) link

My students union was pretty much at its emptiest for indie nights.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 10 December 2006 18:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I had totally the inverse. Just about every guy was indie, and half the girls. The rest were into pop.

― jim (jim), Sunday, 10 December 2006 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

R&B seemed the most popular where I was. I only went to the drum n' bass nights/big beat nights tho (which we mostly organised ourselves heh).

― sede vacante (blueski), Sunday, 10 December 2006 18:59 (seventeen years ago) link

student anthems = mostly poor, hard-hitting pop music?

here at oberlin, people get excited when i play:
- prince
- r. kelly
- jeezy
- chic
- deep house (ie- newer stuff a la julien jabre)
- 'full clip'
- anything by minilogue

but then again, oberlin is fucking gay.

you laugh but do not answer my question about progressive house.

― the table is the table (trees), Monday, 11 December 2006 04:22 (seventeen years ago) link

One of my HS friends is a freshman at Oberlin. He listens to Bright Eyes and the Decembrists.

― step hen faps (Curt1s Stephens), Monday, 11 December 2006 05:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Decemberists, rather.

― step hen faps (Curt1s Stephens), Monday, 11 December 2006 05:19 (seventeen years ago) link

it was a generalization, tree

― friday on the porch (lfam), Monday, 11 December 2006 05:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I was just commenting

― step hen faps (Curt1s Stephens), Monday, 11 December 2006 05:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i realize that it was a generalization. i was just being aggressive.

― the table is the table (trees), Monday, 11 December 2006 14:44 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, cur1s, a lot of Decemberists-loving, whiny indie kids here. and a lot of people who LOVE Depeche Mode and New Order but bitch whenever I spin house music.

― the table is the table (trees), Monday, 11 December 2006 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

No Grease Megamix, no credibility, says I.

― g000blar (g00blar), Monday, 11 December 2006 15:10 (seventeen years ago) link

and a lot of people who LOVE Depeche Mode and New Order but bitch whenever I spin house music.

So, officially, nothing has changed since my student days.
