The Past is A Grotesque Animal is number 13 :http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/17601363/the_100_best_songs_of_2007/4

Wow, I saw the title of this and wasn't that impressed, but the fact that it wasn't Heimdelsgate, and it was #13 is pretty damn cool.

[Laika]

lol fucking rediculous.

[Gin And Jews]

wow, that IS impressive. i could be wrong but as far as i know the past is a grotesque animal hasn't recieved much/any radio play. or tv play. or any play that isn't either at a show or from the cd.

props to rollingstone.

[Gin And Jews]

nevermind. i retract said props.

jay-z is #1 and randy newman is #2

[Alex Fop]

That is pretty amazing. Was TPIAGA released as a single or digital single in the US? Or are they just picking up on it as an album track? They are right in any case - definitely one of the very best tracks of the year.

Just picking up on it as an album track.

what a shit list. thanks for reminding me why I don't subscribe to RS. (although in a paradoxical way I'm proud of oM for being on it)

[whiskeyngingerale]

Wow they barely edged out Britney's "Piece of Me" for #13. Way to go guys! There's about 3 songs in the top 15 that I actually enjoy, including Bright Eyes' Four Winds, Springsteen's Long Walk Home, and oM's The Past is a Grotesque Animal.

[chipjet]

There's some pretty good songs on here for me: Four winds by Bright Eyes, OM of course, Feist, Rilo Kiley, Lily Allen, Wilco, The Shins, Iron and Wine, Modest Mouse, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Liking 10/100 songs is pretty good I think. And, to be honest, out of the songs I like from the list, I would have put them in the exact same order.

[goodbyewren]

wow, the rolling stone list is so much better than, say, av club's or paste. none of that tepid adult contemporary indie emo like the national or band of horses, and a lot of really good variety.

who knew rolling stone would ever be relevant again? i mean, it's not all good music, but for a mainstream mag that's pretty awesome.

[Peacy_P]

I love The Past Is A Grotesque Animal, and would totally agree with that decision if Rolling Stone seemed to know thier head from their ass. Unfortunately, they don't, so there's a chance that they haven't even heard the song.

Also, Modest Mouse is one of my top all time favorite bands ever, and Dashboard didn't deserve top 100 anything. In my opinion, it's the turd of the album. It comes off as that "Just Another Song" song.

Nice to see Queens of the Stone Age on there. Era Vulgaris is a great album.

Weird Fishes/Arpreggi? No way. Jigsaw was the gem on In Rainbows.

LCD Soundsystem's All My Friends gets a definite "Hells yes!" from my camp. Hells yes!

Anything by Fall Out Boy being on there is just disappointing. Same with Nickleback. And Fergie. Rolling Stone obviously has no respect for talent, and no sense of it either. They put FOB, Nickleback, Fergie, etc. on there, but nothing from Nine Inch Nails's Year Zero or Saul Williams's The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust? Fuck Rolling Stone. Fuck them in their rolling asses.

[Laika]

Yeah now that I look at it that is a horrible list.

[cirrocumulus]

I've had a grudge against Rolling Stone ever since they gave Hissing Fauna a lower rating than I think it deserves, because I am that petty. But I don't quite like what they say about The Past Is A Grotesque Animal. I mean, "young love"? I'd think "young love" would mean people in their early twenties at most. Kevin would have been 31 or 32 when he wrote it, and Nina is about three years older than him, so I don't really think they qualify for "young love" anymore. Which kind of suggests that, as ever, Rolling Stone don't know what they're talking about.

[Spikyfred]

Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? is #41 in the top 50 albums of the year also according to Rolling Stone.
"Kevin Barnes has Lindsay Buckingham's knack for melodic overkill and ingeniously fussy hooks, and singing about divorce with all his over-the-top weirdness on display, he's put his Tusks and his Rumours on the same album. "Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider" may be the funniest sex song anybody came up with all year, with space-glam synths, mega-twee harmonies and the plea, "I've got a tigress back at home." And every single song is funny, which matters a lot when you're singing about love pains." -Rolling Stone

Note:The Apples In Stereo's New Magnetic Wonder was #28 on the list
M.I.A.'s Kala was #1

That's... That's not exactly... I mean, it's kind of... Did they even...?

Just... Nevermind.

anyway you cut it, if you're a pop songwriter by trade, an l. buckingham comparision is never a bad thing.
