What’s your favorite song by your favorite artist, band, or group?
Ask that question to anyone and nine times out of ten they’ll grit their teeth, take in a deep breath, and mutter, “Oooh…that’s a hard one.”
Beginning to answer that question or organize a “best of” list for your musical idols can feel next to impossible…UNLESS you don’t limit yourself to a meaningless number (just because it’s clean) and you sort them alphabetically rather than by rating.
For me, the following are the ultimate Atmosphere songs. Those that lyrically captivate me. Those stories that I can most relate to or conjure the most vivid imagery. Those beats that consume me, get thrown on repeat, and make my iTunes “Top 25 Most Played” playlist. The very best of that Slug and Ant magic.
Disclaimer: these choices are very personal, and not necessarily what I would recommend to a new listener to introduce them to the duo and the range or evolution of their sound. Hit play at the bottom!
