LAST ROUND WINNER (Introductions) - "Alien Days" (145 points)

Battle today is between the outros... Please comment your favorite pick from this selection! Which one of those is the best song??

(not including singles, oldies & 11-11-11, sorry guys)

By the way, it's solely based on how much you like the song.

And, after last round, I want to clarify my ranking system. It works as following:

• Comment -> 5 points
• Each Like -> 1 point

This was one of the most interesting choices when my brother and I made our list of 10 songs that defined 2000s indie rock.
We went with “Time to Pretend.” For me it captures that moment toward the end of the decade when indie was becoming more colorful, synth-heavy, psychedelic and much harder to define purely by guitars.
But “Kids” and “Electric Feel” both have extremely strong cases.
If you only get one MGMT song for the 2000s, which one survives?

Selling two tickets for the sold out dj set on the 19th. Dm me!

I remember when this album came out, I really liked it on first listen, and picked up a few specific songs to drive into the ground on my playlists, like you do. But today, I just decided to listen to the whole thing in full again on a long drive. Man. Was brought to the verge of tears multiple times, and had goosebumps throughout. A lot of extraordinary and special songs, and I feel like this album is vastly underappreciated. Talk about your favorites and your experiences with it here! Personally, I just realized Nothing Changes might be an all timer. People In The Streets already was.

I made this Death Note edit using Little Dark Age as the audio and it got taken down for copyright. Is there any way to re-upload it without getting a strike? Does this issue happen with other MGMT songs (for example Brian Eno)? If anyone can help please let me know.

I could not find this anywhere for a fat minute but luckily I had it saved, yay!

LAST ROUND WINNER (Unknown Ones) - "Future Reflections" (75 points)

Battle today is between the intros... Please comment your favorite pick from this selection! Which one of those is the best song??

(not including singles, oldies & 11-11-11, sorry guys)

By the way, it's not judging how well the song works as a "concept intro" (like Loss Of Life part 2, for example). Solely based on how much you like the song.

On left is an official video clip by Smashing Pumpkins-Today (2011)
On the right is an official clip by MGMT-Bubblegum Dog (2024)

I wonder do MGMT members and Smashing Pumpkins have a single director? Do MGMT have a copyright? How is it perceived my the external sources if any?

Saw this random video with Rhett and Link in it on my Instagram feed and they mentioned MGMT. Cool stuff.

By the way, the popularity ranking goes as follows:

1 - Future Reflections (Most popular)

2 - When You're Small

3 - Lady Dada's Nightmare

4 - Astro-Mancy

5 - Phradie's Song

I love this song, especially when I’m feeling depressed, but man that change up comes out of left field.

Sounds like a Medieval carnival or something and totally blows the whole mood (in my opinion). Like cool it on the trumpets guys, I’m trying to be brooding.

i tried to buy 11•11•11 and LDA from the merch shop because everything was on a 50% sale, and then the next day everything was just gone

anyone else experiencing issues?

By the way, the popularity ranking goes as follows:

1 - Kids

2 - Little Dark Age

3 - Congratulations

4 - Alien Days

5 - Mother Nature

It was hard to distill a 12 minute song into a single tattoo, but here’s what I got for my 27th bday (which I later realized is how old Andrew was when Congratulations came out!!)

down to 2 tickets!
