OK, I want to make a playlist, but I have some parameters

This one's sort of out there, but it's the first one that popped in my head when I read the criteria:

Material Issue -- "International Pop Overthrow"

 

Even when it wasn't trendy, it still sucked.

 

Fugazi - "Repeater"
Pavement - "Summer Babe"
Hum - "Hello Kitty"

 

Very underrated album.

 

Eh, I've always liked it.

 

Weezer's "Surf Wax America" or "The World Has Turned And Left Me Here."

1994.

 

Really great, criminally underrated band. That whole first album is terrific.

 

Agreed. Obviously.

 

I did. But you've just given me an excuse to link a rare, unalbumized sample of Maria and the boys from MTV's "The Cutting Edge," circa '84:

 

The list so far. I will make my own edits, and I apologize if I left anything off from an above post.

Reason number 1,723 to sign up for Napster To Go: I will have this playlist on my MP3 in about 15 minutes and it will cost me nothing, but my $15 a month.
