Top 10

[Andy Aldridge]

Over on Stereogum a top 10 Galaxie 500 tracks was posted that left out Snowstorm (and Oblivious and Blue Thunder) which was like leaving Strawberry Fields off a Beatles Top 10, or 23 Minutes off a Luna one.

Now the other people I know of who rate Snowstorm as high as I do are both British and I wonder whether that is significant, perhaps because of Galaxie 500 playing Snowstorm on Snub TV back in the day.

So … an I wrong in thinking of Snowstorm as the pinnacle of their greatness?

(By the way, I'm not!)

Firstly, of the 10, three are covers, which is a bit of a back handed compliment. Secondly, yes, Snowstorm certainly trumps several songs on this list. I agree with Andy, Snowstorm, Blue Thunder and Strange were the holy trinity that made my head explode.

While three are covers you'd have to admit that Don't Let Our Youth... is so far removed from a sub-2-minute a capella piece to almost make it a Galaxie 500 song... and Ceremony couldn't not be in that list. I think the covers are less a back-handed compliment and more an appreciation of the bands ability to take other peoples music and turn it into something uniquely their own?
