'posse on broadway' by sir mix-a-lot

oh, and this is just a personal favorite, but:
mudhoney 'in 'n' out of grace'

in no way one of the greatest songs, but it's fire.

"a lack of color"

Hate to be all classic rock about it, but "Are You Experienced?" by Jimi Hendrix should not be overlooked.

Since Jimi lived in England and the album was recorded in England, I don't really think it can be said to have come out of Seattle in any significant way.

totally fucking seconded TO THE MAX!!!

i got a def posse
you got a bunch a dudes

xox

"Crazy On You" - Heart
"Wicked Eye" - Goodness
"Troubadour" - Hafacat
"Poppy" - Girl With 100 Heads

also, fer reals:

crayon - snap tight wars

and lanterns & laughing ladies, unless that's really a chicago song.

"Peaches" by The Presidents. it ain't right, but it ain't wrong either.

All Apologies-Nirvana(cuz technically Smells Like Teen Spirit came from another town)

Posse On Broadway- Sir Mix Alot

National Anthem - Postal Service

When the Fear Stops - Sky Cries Mary

I second DCFC's "A Lack of Colour."

I have been listening to a lot of the Fall Outs lately. Whom are one of Seattle's longest running bands. Their song Zombie is pretty much a classic.

I'm not sure what to make of this question.

I guess, my initial pass might be

In the Rock category:
"Heart Shaped Box" by Nirvana
"Touch Me I'm Dick" by Mudhoney
"Would?" by Alice in Chains
"Alive" by Pearl Jam
"Hunger Strike" by Temple of the Dog

In the Hip-Hop category:
"Posse on Broadway" by Sir Mix-A-Lot (good job Cosby)
"No Rest for the Weary" by the Blue Scholars

In the Modern Rock category:
"Such Great Heights" by the Postal Service (should this count as "Seattle"?)
"Our Days in Kansas" by Tullycraft
"3rd Planet" by Modest Mouse (are they really Portland than Seattle?)
"True Affection" by the Blow

We were going to do our radio show on Sunday on Washington/Seattle. This helps so much!! Thanks guys!

EG, nice Freudian slip on the Mudhoney song . . .

And isn't the Blow more of an Oly/PDX thing? I'm not an expert, but that was my impression. I guess this makes me the geographical nitpicker. Ah well.

Mudhoney - Touch Me I'm Sick

"into the woods" - Silkworm
"Start without me" - Pedro the Lion
"Emerald City" - United States of Electronica
"Our Swords" - Band of Horses

If we were to include Oly:

"Finale" by Bikini Kill

Just confirming more of what others have offered with a few song tweaks....

Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box

Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike

(gulp)Queensryche - Jet City Woman (this is my devil's advocate self trying to cover all the bases.....)

Heart - Barracuda

Soundgarden - Spoonman

Sir Mix a lot - Posse on Broadway

Goodness - Wicked Eye

Yes!

Thanks Sam for suggesting USE, I'd completely forgotten....

i would agree that the blow is more olympian than seattlian.

if we were to include, say tacoma, then The Sonics would definitely make my list.

also, i'd like to make a super-special shoutout to harvey danger's "flagpole sitter." and while The Ventures have never ever REMINDED me of seattle, 'surf rider' is absolutely epic and locally-grown.

xox

Levi@15 - I blame watching Singles too many times for that mistake.
Mary@18 - I was trying to think of an appropriate Queensryche song too. Its hard.

And as for the Blow, I'd love to annex Olympia. Ah well.

Triumph of Lethargy SATD - Bad Captain
Modest Mouse - Bukowski or Alone Down There
Tiny Vipers - On This Side
Alice in Chains - Nutshell

Hooks by the Catch
Tension by Aqueduct
Whistle Test by BOAT
My Own Private Weimar by SFE
and that one song about trains by Patience Please :]

I believe we have the same imaginary assignment! I was divided on whether to just include new seattle songs, which is certainly my forte, but ended up with a mixed list

teeth like god's shoeshine - modest mouse
lithium - nirvana
cream - thee emergency
rearviewmirror - pearl jam
praying hands will make fists - the hands

other contenders included:

baby got back - sir mix a lot
Acid Pony and House of 19 Flames - Ice Age Coba
Jesus Lips - Hopscotch Boys
Hunger Strike - temple of the dog
Divorced Beheaded Died - Sea Navy

My favorite of the moment is Harvey Danger's Little Round Mirrors.

i do enjoy the posies "suddenly mary" and the fastbacks' "just say."

Solar Sister - Posies
Seven - SDRE

"Jet City Rockers" by The Cowboys

ridiculous question btw
