brucebanner Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 So I was making a Spotify playlist the other day of songs that are under 2 minutes, and was trying to find songs that are complete songs, not just short instrumentals or breaks between real songs (White Album, Wowee Zowee, Tommy, etc.) I was surprised that many of my favorite bands have some pretty good complete songs under 2 minutes, here are some of my favorites. Do you guys have any personal favorites to add to the list? Never Talking to You Again - Husker DuI'm In Love With A Girl - Big StarBuzzards and Dreadful Crows - Guided By Voices (kings of the under 2 minute song!)Three Girl Rhumba - WireCommunist Daughter - Neutral Milk HotelWelcome to the Working Week - Elvis CostelloTime Between - The ByrdsZurich Is Stained - PavementHold On - John LennonRoad - Nick DrakeYou Can Do Better Than Me - Death Cab for CutieWhat Deaner Was Talkin' About - Ween#1 Hit Song - Minutemen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Feeling - The La'sSon of a Gun - The La'sFortunately Gone - The BreedersWords of Love - Buddy HollyBlack Sheep Boy - Tim HardinBut I'm Different Now - The Jam And, yeah... a hundred or so GBV tunes. Also, I gotta give myself a plug, as I think this is a pretty good one at 1:51:https://hoponpop.bandcamp.com/track/here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
