Today is the 16th of September, which would mark the 35th anniversary of the formation of the band the pillows!
the pillows are one of the bands that I would put as being a formative and influential music group to me, and most influential band for me, and I have continue to listen to them over the years, even with my – and their – changing of taste and interests.
Listening to their discography again in preparation of this year, it was obvious to me that they’ve went through quite a lot of changes over the years. Even when they reach a certain point where it feels that they’re quite comfortable with settling down with their sound and image, there’s still variations one can find amongst the songs released in their albums.
I was earlier tempted to just come up with my top 35 songs from the band… But it felt like it would be too concentrated amongst certain period of album releases from them! So in an effort to push myself out of listening to the few selected albums for the hundredth time, I decided to come up with 35 song picks across their difference releases.
