Cat Power's best song from her best album, probably.
I was stuck between nominating this or Fiona Apple's "Every Single Night". They are both standout art pop songs from prolific songwriters who released what many people regard their greatest albums in the same year.
Rebellious African People Music is one of my favourite genres, so Mike and El-P. Although it's a great Cat Power song, would vote it over a lot of other stuff.
"It's that Robert Johnson, that Muddy Waters
That James Brown, Augusta, Georgia
That Ray Charles, that Stevie Wonder
That Mayfield, that Superfly
That Willie Hutch and that Mack
It's that blues man, that soul man
That OutKast, that Southernplayalisticadillac
It's that Jimi Hendrix, that George Clinton
I feel it in my bones
Aretha Franklin, that Shirley Caesar
Miss Nina Simone
That Sade, that Love is King
That Coltrane, that Love Supreme
That Miles Davis, Bitches Brew
That "beeeyotch" said by Playboy Too"
vs.
"I’ve been to Saudi Arabia, Dhaka, Calcutta
Soweto, Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome
Argentina, Chile, Mejico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Pacific
All the way back home, to my town
To my town" _________________ Overall chart Fake overall chart
Ruin, while quite nice, is not one of Cat Power's better songs. R.A.P. Music is excellent and one of Killer Mike's best songs. Easy choice for me. _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM
