165. Helium – Pat’s Trick

Helium existed at the nexus of riot grrrl sexual politics and meat-and-potatoes indie rock, yet never really caught on with either crowd. The pinnacle of their fame probably came when Beavis and Butt-Head called frontwoman/guitar heroine Mary Timony a ho while watching the “Pat’s Trick” video. (She’s driving a bulldozer while wearing a mini skirt.) Which is a shame, because legions of surly young women lost out on a potential goddess in Timony, whose complex fretwork was as stunning as her combative, feminist lyrics, often issued in a husky monotone. Even when she declares, “You are the most beautiful thing,” in “Pat’s Trick”, it sounds like a dangerous threat. —Amy Phillips

I almost failed a Richard Powers course because I never went to that shit.

Only Paul has sat at each spot (1-4) on my Beatles Power Rankings (John’s always been 1 or 2, George has never cracked the top 2, and Ringo floats around (but hasn’t hit the one spot)).
