Maybe they find their repetitive one-bar grooves to be tedious. Perhaps they haven’t forgiven them for staging an elaborate breakup concert and documentary complete with Chuck Klosterman-led interviews only to reunite when they ran out of money a mere six years later. It’s possible they just think the band sucks. Whatever the reason is; your friends just don’t like LCD Soundsystem. This shouldn’t be a big deal at all, but you know they’re dead wrong and you will not rest until your taste is justified. We’re not sure how we got roped into the middle of this, but here are 10 songs that can change, that can change, that can change, that can change your friends’ minds.

“Never as Tired as When I’m Waking Up”

If your buds have been getting into the resurgence of psychedelic rock lately, this is a great place to start. This song is so pleasant and soothing that no one will even notice how horny James Murphy is throughout its questionable lyrics. That may be due to the wonderful instrumentation, or his complete refusal to properly enunciate any of his words on this one. Either way, it’s a solid track.

“Give It Up”

Everybody loves a good dance track, but the people you hang out with are older now and have joint problems. Part of the reason they hate your dance playlists is the fact that you insist on putting all of LCD’s twelve-minute jams on them. This song is an easy fix for that problem as its runtime is just under 4 minutes. That’s right before the exhaustion brought on by some of the band’s longer ones usually sets in. This one should get some hips popping, but hopefully not literally.

“New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down”

This song is almost an undisputed favorite among thousands of music fans who have never once lived in New York City. Playing this one is sure to have your group googling “billionaire mayor of NYC 2007” while simultaneously fantasizing about being mugged in Williamsburg. These distractions will last just long enough for everyone to forget that they think your taste in music is terrible.

“North American Scum”

This song was featured in the Academy Award-winning film, “Step Brothers.” We don’t believe we’re being hyperbolic by suggesting that every single person that has ever been alive agrees that the film is the greatest cinematic masterpiece of its generation. Why would the producers put this song on the soundtrack if it wasn’t of equal caliber? No doubt this track will have the whole gang dancing while discussing the nuanced socio-political commentary of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.

“All I Want”

Tucked away deep in the tracklist of 2011’s “This Is Happening,” “All I Want” is a subdued fan favorite. Your pals probably haven’t heard it before, so if they turn their noses up at this one, just tell them it’s a rare and unreleased demo from The Strokes. They’ll be sure to change their tune faster than Murphy turns the knobs on his Prophet 600. All the while, you’ll get to live with the smug satisfaction of tricking your friends into liking a band that they’ve claimed to despise.

“Oh You (Christmas Blues)”

Don’t be fooled by the title, this isn’t a holiday track, at least not in the proper sense. This one can be spun year-round thanks to its timeless arrangement and vaguely heartbroken lyrics. The instrumentation on this one is spooky and sparse, showing off the oft-not-heard darker side of Murphy’s production skills. Not only that, but this song proves that he’s actually a decent singer and has been pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes the entire time. Okay, that actually does sound a bit annoying, but it’s still a great song.

“No Love Lost”

James doesn’t sing on this one for a full two minutes which already makes it less annoying by default. Add on the fact that it’s a reinterpretation of a classic Joy Division song, and your friend group will have no choice but to respect it.

“Seconds”

There’s the studio version of LCD Soundsystem, which is great, and there’s the live version of LCD Soundsystem, which is fucking incredible. This cut fortunately falls in with the latter. Not only is this cover of Human League’s classic cut fucking excellent, like the aforementioned ‘No Love Lost,’ but it’s also not an original LCD Soundsystem song. That should be enough to intrigue even the strictest hater of the band.

“Dance Yrself Clean”

This is one of those songs your friends pretend to hate, but we were all there when they did MDMA last New Year’s Eve, and let’s just say, they lost their shit when the super loud synth part came on. Chances are this song will remind them of the good time they had that night and not the part where they all crashed and almost set your apartment on fire.

“All My Friends”

This is a great one to put on if you want to remind everyone that LCD Soundsystem can be just as depressing as they are irritating. The lyrical content of this one is sure to have at least one of your confidants feeling like an asshole for focusing on their career more than their relationships. That sudden realization will have them questioning everything, including their distaste for one of your favorite artists. This song is a classic, and even the snobbiest of critics will be able to acknowledge that its structure and arrangement are flawless. Hell, even the equally bothersome band, Franz Ferdinand, was able to make an incredibly listenable version of this one.
