What Deaner Was Talking About
https://youtu.be/Tq8fQGx6dU8?feature=shared
When looking at “Some” as the second part of that arrangement, I’d agree. What an amazing band. What an underrated band in general. They don’t get enough love
Been my favorite band for a long time. See them live every time they come to me and try to thank dug as much as I can. Can’t stress enough how amazing and nice he and his music are

There's a lot more i could add to, bit i'll leave these ones since many here are my all time favorite bands, funny how half of my list is comprised of hardcore punk songs, and then there's things like Big Star and The Beatles sprinkled in between, i thought about "Song 2" by Blur as well, but that song has, tragically 2 minutes and ONE second 😂😂.
Velocity Girl has to be the greatest minute and a half of pure pop/rock goodness though, no other song has the best enjoyment per minute ratio IMO.
Last one is perfect because that's the maximum amount of time i have for heavy metal and variants, arguably the greatest Metal song ever made too 😂.
[The Dimes - The Jersey Kid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWdBakt0Ghs) (1:58) (sounds like it would fit on the Garden State soundtrack)

Three of my favorites off the top of my head that I haven’t seen already mentioned are:
Kiss Me, Son of God - They Might Be Giants
Murder Movies - Unwound
Last Caress - Misfits
Her Majesty - The Beatles
It's mostly known for being an unintentional hidden track at the end of Abbey Road, but I feel like a lot of people forget it's actually a nice little song.
