2000 Great Songs #1515: Crossed Wires
Not many bands get to pull off a second act quite as musically as triumphant as Superchunk 's. Following a truly epic decade-long run of legendary punk/post-punk albums between 1990-2001, the band took a well-earned nine-year sabbatical. They returned with 2010's Majesty Shedding , a record at least as strong as anything from their original tenure (and have intermittently released solid albums ever since). "Crossed Wires" is the list's second visit to the record, and it's just a barrel of fun. Great riff, catchy chorus, and the evil-cat-with-a-GoPro video is one of the funniest videos you'll ever see.
