Hope the title makes sense. Anyway, someone posted in the deBobby thread:

This and purple, John Maus and Brian Eno, Mac Demarco, Suicide...He may have the best track record of all time in my mind.
And it got me thinking of the music selection of other pros:
Arto - David Bowie "1984" and "Rock n' Roll Suicide", "Handsome Devil" by the Smiths, but then they hit us with Battles "Atlas" which sounds like robot elves squirching around.
Dylan - Ramones "Garden of Serenity" (shared part with The Butcher) is whatever, but then that "Cherry Red" song in A Time to Shine was chill, then Elliott Smith "Coast to Coast", Cass McCombs and Graham Nash in his Gravis part, Cherry had "Never Tear Us Apart", and I really liked the dark ass David Bowie song in his Huf part.
Anyone care to write out different pros' music careers? Favorites? Objective best choices? Pros with great music and subpar skating, or amazing skating and shitty music? Most random song choices for a part?
-
Carrol tho!
-
Carrol tho!
Yup.
-
Carroll gets my vote... it may not be the best songs ever... but its the most suiting to him & his skating each time.
Jamie Thomas is similar... he knows what he wants & how to get there.
-
Louie Barletta, Brad Cromer, Jake Johnson
-
Jon Allie
Corey Duffel
Heath Kirchart
Ronnie Creager

ethan fowler had good songs.
i hate jeremy klein but frank black's headache is the perfect rock song. and that cocteau twins is ok.
kris markovich [treepeople, berlin, mean motherfuckin man].
cairo foster [built to spill, modest mouse]
elissa steamer [roadrunner/stop n shop song, janis joplin, the sundays]
pj ladd [pulp rules!]
southie [sweet and tender hooligan, f.e.e.l.i.n.g. called love by pulp and what else? untouchable by rialto?]
dill, radiohead and spoon
-
Carrol and Gravette Jamie Thomas.
-
MJ before mental breakdown
-
Always love what Daniel Shimizu uses.
-
Jerry - cass mccombs, Tom waits, sonic youth, stereo lab, new order, mogwai.
Heath - Bowie, morrissey, shinda shims, nights in white satin, new order.
Dill - Radiohead, spoon, cass mccombs, animal collective,
Reynolds - Jimi Hendrix, roxy music, Donovan.
Somebody mentioned Carroll. I can’t think of hip hop centric skaters where I can really agree with. Please correct me with this because I know I’m wrong.
Uhh John Igei? Jeru, gangstarr, and nickatina come to mind.

Chris Milic picks music that suits his style.
-
Brad Cromer and Chris Jones are two of my newer favs

Carrolls the first one that pops in my head.
Reynolds - Jimi Hendrix, roxy music, Donovan.
DJ Shadow??
Never thought about it but Elissa Steamer n Dylan had good songs.
Ave except for that 12 Jewels song in his Best of 411 I just watched.
Danny Montoyas soundtrack comes to mind at the moment...
Pat Raketsraw sticks out too.
-
No one will ace this, but I always thought Koston killed it with whatever he was matched with.
DGKalis has the most parts with songs I'd listen to if they weren't in a skate part.
-
MJ- joy division, new order, the stones, bowie, nina simone, built to spill... his fully flared songs weren't amazing but still good.
-
MJ for sure.
I’ve always loved the obscure but good old punk songs Corey Duffel has used, even when he wasn’t my cup of tea (been liking him more lately)
-
This actually makes me wonder what is the answer to the opposite of this question. Which artists has the best parts to their music. Without thinking too in-depth I would guest Dinosaur Jr. (Pops-Mosiac, Rudy-Video Days, Omar-Mindfield, Tosh-Sight Unseen, Grant-Mindfield, Alien-411).
Edit: Forgot the obvious guess of Morrisey.
-
Heath and Jerry. Also Louie simply for Young Turks
-
Nestor dudes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88iNwEp9vRk
David Lynch, Dennis Hopper, and Dean Stockwell killed it to this song.
-
Jake Johnson
[/quote]
i can't hear that animal collective song without thinking of that shot of him making eye contact with the camera in mindfield. all his music always just fits him

Dinosaur also had the best Mike V part, Neil Blender and Steve Claar at Sadlands and weird Swank skating in Speed Freaks. They're all over that video because of Santa Cruz's deal with SST but those are for sure the stand outs.
Me and my skate pals sure did like firehose a whole lot because of Natas.
As cornball as I think his image was, Corey Duffel sure did skate to some good songs. Dead Moon Night is so fucking good.
Heath also put out some magical combinations of skating and music that I never get tired of. I'm sad that his head is getting messy but I'm grateful for what he did.
-
Bobby Worrest and Kool Keith
-
AVE
Carroll
Jerry Hsu
Thomas
Dylan
-
corey duffel comes to mind
Some skaters might insist on songs, but with an example like jake johnson skating to animal collective in mind field and death in june in purple, i want to lean towards the filmers picking the music.
-
Templeton
-
the mr dibbz/brian wenning pairing will always be a standout for me
-
Jon Allie
Corey Duffel
Heath Kirchart
Ronnie Creager
Kris Markovich
Jim Greco
Erik Ellington

Heath
Andrew
JJ
MJ
-
Koston - Gangstarr, Basehead, Slick Rick, Joe Bataan, Frank Black, Public Enemy
Fowler - Syd Barrett, White Stripes, The Outsiders, Chambers Brothers
Shimizu - Jaw Breaker, Make Up, Gang of Four, Mark Mothersbaugh
-
You cant skate to that song - its a stupid idea. Unless you get killed by a car rolling away from your last trick and then the epitaph roles.

Ali Boulala had some pretty oddball songs... some real charity shop bargain bin shit.
They all worked well though.

is there really such a thing as a waste of time?
he did have some good ones.
-
Brad Cromer - Talking Heads, early stuff from The Cure, J Mascis, Jesus & Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Modest Mouse, Spiritualized
-
I enjoy pop/folk music, so anytime a Shane Oniell part is released, I'm excited to hear the music. The only part I was bummed about the music was his welcome to primitive part

I haven't seen Dan Murphy yet, and he skated to some great tunes.
-
Chico Brenes
Edit: Nate Jones (Didn't have that many parts but skated to Gil Scott-Heron)
-
idk if he used other good songs but this is one of my favorites.

CTE did a job on heath, now he is a real sicky

all the pals are in love w/ heath, he's a skateboard lobotomy
-

The Smiths - You've Got Everything Now
jimmy reed

I wholeheartedly agree with you and this was an excellent comment.
Unrelated, but I feel like in the realm of hiphop skaters, I always liked the songs Welsh skated too.
Even more unrelated, I love that Mike York skated to both Funkadelic in yeah right and straight of locash from the movie CB4 in the chocolate tour.
-
Suciu! Youth Lagoon, Elliott Smith, Diiv, Beach Fossils, Beach House. Always really dreamy music.
-
Josh Kalis with that Freddy Fox song in photo nails it. I was delighted to hear in the bobshirt interview that he picked that song because he was beefing with the habitat riders.
The chief has never had a bad song in a video part, especially his chomp part !
-
Westgate and Miner. all their Emerica stuff with Earthless and Explosions in the sky fucking killed it. stoked for that combo in the Element video
-
Stevie Williams.
Big L, Beanie Sigel, Hov, etc.
-
That one dude who skates to the Highway Murderers. They seem mellow.
-
Are we going to the opposite of this next?
If so: Appleyard.
-
Austyn in who’s to say from WKND. Richard Hawley is a G. WKND has an outstanding music selection.
I always liked Maldonado skating to London Dungeon in WTH.
-
Dustin Dollin's parts put me on to a lot of music I probably would have never considered, and the music always complimented his skating really well - Pixies, Smiths, Morrisey, Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Zager and Evans
-
Elllington. Not only good songs but always perfectly matched to his style
-
Heath
Stenger
Freddy Gall (going up country i don’t think was his choice)
-
Shane O'Neils songs have been fuckin tremendous
-
Chima
The Stranglers x2, Iggy Pop, Cass McCombs, Australian Crawl, Brian Eno
-
Josh khakis
-

Second this.
-
terrey kennedy
-
cant think of any new ones, but ill agree with Stevie, Carroll and Ethan Fowler. i dont know if theyre the best songs, but i liked wade d skating to "stomp" and "yuck"
-
Jason Adams
The Devil Went to Georgia, Elvis, Strummer, Cash, Social Distortion, Rancid, etc
-
Gino, but I'm parcial to Wu-Tang.
-
Cardiel - Sizzla, Bad Brains, Brotha Lynch
-
That pat smith part was my favorite in label kills
-
That one dude who skates to the Highway Murderers. They seem mellow.
Don't forget the Antihero video where they skate to skrewdriver
-
Rick Howard.
-
Heath and Dill are who first come to mind.

Louie Barletta, Brad Cromer, Jake Johnson
Louie skating to Young Turks by Rod Stewart will always be the best song choice
-

"Music Selection" fell off, and died after Asian Goddess (The best ever}
Anyone who doesn't have this in a video are brainlet simps.

-
Tom Knox skating to Eurythmics was cool and unexpected
but i think Creager did it in Trilogy too
-
Chima has always had music that flowed well
-
Tom Penny:
Velvet Underground, Sadat X, Moby's only good song, David Bowie - Heroes
-
Carroll wins, everything he skates to is hot because he skated to it.
Spanky has picked songs that best capture his vibe better than anyone else.
Reynolds probably pulled off the widest range of song selections without looking like a try-hard.
MJ comes off as having the best taste in music without going full blown music elitist. He also had the best Jenkem mix easily.
The songs Rory Milanes skates to always makes me want to time travel to the 90s and buy expensive clothes at the nice mall with my shaved head bi-racial pansexual bitch from New York or London.

Air track in Menikmati is very chill

Which do you think was a better song for Heath's Sight Unseen - (Original) The Moody Blues or (Couldn't get rights) Pink Floyd

https://youtu.be/kOU5PsaWnOw
Moody Blues edit all day. I think it's a case where having to do a second cut made for a much better part. The editing in that is so on point. It's one of the best edit tricks to the beat of the song part I can think of.
-
Going to grow a wild card, younger guy in, since all the classics are taken.
Pat Burke.
He pulls off skating to Brotha Lynch so easy. The Eastbound and Down song is a polar opposite and works so well.
Hopefully, he is off the stuff and doing ok. Sadly, I think what he gave is all we will get :/
