  • Time Traveler's ChoiceOriginZach - #2 - 12 points - submitted Nov 22, 2025 - The definitive 'song that was ahead of its time'. Now arguably their most well-known work, it was originally released as only a B-side to 'William, it was Really Nothing', because it doesn't sound like their other songs. Unlike their other songs, this 1984 song fit in perfectly on playlists during the grunge of 1994 and the Strokes-Killers rock renaissance of 2004.
