Top 10 Of Montreal Songs!

Ever heard of Of Montreal? They're a band, from Athens, Georgia. And they just so happen to be my favorite band, probably ever. Anywho....I'm pretty bored right now, so I'm gonna go ahead and list off my favorite songs by Of Montreal. Enjoy!


10. "Tim, I Wish You Were Born A Girl" from the album Cherry Peel. - The perfect blend of humor, charm, and that good ol' fashioned Of Montreal sound! It's one of the best songs from their debut album, way back in 1997.

9. "Isn't It Nice?" from the album Aldhils Arboretum. - Aldhils Arboretum isn't really the best album of Of Montreal's, but it's got a couple of great songs on it. This is one of them.

8. "Oslo In the Summertime" from the album The Sunlandic Twins. - "Cool" is a word that has been lost in the American pop culture. But trust me, once you hear this song, you'll know what cool really is.

7. "Chrissy Kiss the Corpse" from the album Satanic Panic in the Attic. - This is probably the last Of Montreal song to tell a zany story, something that made them famous. Besides that, it's still an amazing song.

6. "Good Morning, Mr. Edmonton" from the album Coquelicot Asleep In the Poppies: A Variety of Whimsical Verse. - The last Of Montreal concept album started off this this amazingly fun track. How could you not fall in love with this song?

5. "Fun Loving Nun" from the album The Gay Parade. - What do you get when you have the mice from the movie Babe to sing the chorus to the song? Probably the most happy song you've ever heard in your life!

4. "Nicki Coco and the Invisible Tree" from the album The Gay Parade. - This is without a doubt the most ambitious Of Montreal song to date, and I can't help but think that it was an inspiration to their next album, Coquelicot... That's enough reason for me to love it. So is the fact that it's probably the funniest song ever made!

3. "The Party's Crashing Us" from the album The Sunlandic Twins. - This one song has defined the new Of Montreal sound, a mix of electro dance pop and German disco. Of course, I don't really care about all that nonsense, because this is one of my favorite songs ever....really.

2. "Jennifer Louise" from the album Aldhils Arboretum. - This is a song about Kevin Barnes' cousin, whom he met once. What's not to love?

1. "Rapture Rapes the Muses" from the album Satanic Panic in the Attic. - What could ruin a seemingly perfect situation, having Of Montreal open a live show with my favorite song of theirs? Them totally screwing it up and playing about 30 bpm slow! Oh well, there's no denying that this song is one of the greatest indie pop songs of all time! So don't try to....

Ugh... Okay, I love Of Montreal, but I hate when people just simply advertise a song with "that good ol' Of Montreal sound". Look, Of Montreal is pretty off-the-wall, with many different generas integrated in their albums. There isn't any kind of established style to it and even if there is, you failed to bring that to anyone's attention before making this list. If the song is a personal favorite, that's fine, but that "good ol' Of Montreal sound" is a dumb justification for the placement on this list.
