Mirror Man by The Human League: They are fantastic too, with the exception of Fascination. From the 1988 Greatest Hits Album.

Fill My Eyes by Cat Stevens (Yusaf now) from the Mona Bone Jakon album. Cat Stevens's songs are so catchy in their own way you know...

Lives in The Balance by Jackson Browne from his 1997 album The Next Voice You Hear Jackson Browne is so catchy and his songs are intelligent,too.
I guess I like the older music, and not the stuff usually associated with my generation.
Edit: I seem to have forgotten one, so here goes...

On my iPhone playlist this week:

Great for the convertible flying down PCH (guess i've been watching too much Entourage)

Working Class Hero-Green Day
Good Song, Strong Performance

Angry Angel-Imogen Heap
An early take on a great artist

Ballad of Mad Dogs and Englishmen-Leon Russell
Bittersweet tale of life on the road in a traveling rock show

Sail On-Landon Pigg
Hey, The guy can write

And the new Dream Theatre Album Systematic Chaos
Sometimes you need to rock
 
Peace - Weezer
Catchy song, catchy band

Georgia On My Mind - Louis Armstrong
Good ol' Louis. Some of the best music of the 20th century.

Necromancer - Gnarls Barkley
I've become very addicted to this band ever since I stopped hearing Crazy 50 times a day.

Karma Police - Radiohead
One of my favorites bands, and one of my favorite albums

Sometimes I'm Happy - Johnny Smith
Possibly the greatest jazz guitarist who ever lived and still lives today. One who I'm proud to call my good friend and guitar playing pal.
 
Diamond- Klint
A great song from the Snatch soundtrack

Running out of Time- Hot Hot Heat
Not my favorite song by them, but still catchy

A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left- Andrew Bird
A great, out there song

Closing Time- Semisonic
A song i grew up with in the 90s

Tribute- Tenacious D
Need I say anything else?
 
Shyboy - David Lee Roth

Hands-down my favorite Bissonette drum part. Love this song!

Smokin' = Boston

"Just another" great song from one of the best albums of the 70s.

Christine Sixteen - KISS

I think I've sung this to everyone named Christine I've ever met

Adagio (from Symphony No. 4) - Beethoven

Ehhh... Nothing special on its own. Come to think of it Symphony No. 4 is far from being my favorite.

Caught In a Web - Dream Theater

My favorite band. I had my fingers crossed, hoping something from them would come up.
 
Comfortable Criminals - Matthew Good
Wicked bside from the Avalanche album; very cheeky lyrics and I love the bass progression.

Closing In - Imogen Heap
Haunting electronic harmony like Imogen Heap always is.

Popsicle - Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer
Neat song from a band I first heard on Mark Hoppus' podcast like a year ago.

No Man's Land - Sufjan Stevens
Delightful little ditty from The Avalanche.

A Poor Man's Memory - Explosions in the Sky
Beautiful and awe-inspiring, from one of my favorite bands.

Click to expand...

i like ok computer. i like it a lot, but there aren't any songs on that album i absolutely love. they just don't connect with me, not like songs from the bends. high and dry, fake plastic trees, my iron lung. these are my favorite radiohead songs of all time.
 
Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles
Not too often I hear this song. Probably wouldn't have listened to it if not for this thread ;)

Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen
Ahhh... reminds of my youth. Driving around with my dad and hearing this on the radio.

Vato - Snoop Dogg
Can't often go wrong with Snoop :p

Layla - Derek & The Dominoes
A true classic!

Voice of the Voiceless - Rage Against The Machine
Still one of my all time favorite bands :D
 
Udham Singh - Avtar Music
- from a two disc Bollywood Music collection, specifically from the second disc which electronic beats an Indian instruments which I have a thing for. Only the second disc is in my collection. Nothing special about this track but other tracks on the album are outstanding.

Gone, Gone, Gone - Miles Davis
- title pretty much describes the song. Sad little melody played by one of the greatest artists of all time. From his Porgy and Bess album.

Bless the Child - Nightwish
- one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. Power metal with a symphonic feel matched with operatic vocals.

Tears in the Rain - Joe Satriani
- short acoustic melody. No fancy guitar theatrics just a short good sounding tune.

Speak of the Devil - Chris Isaak
- he has some good songs on his greatest hits collection. This one is one of my faves but the CD doesn't make me want to listen to a whole album of his. Great retro rock vibe.

those are my five, maybe I'll do this again after I add some Depeche Mode and Seemless and see what comes up. From my 80 Gig by the way.

I need a bigger iPod soon. :eek:
 
These are all on my iPod shuffle:

Natural Anthem - The Postal Service
A very good song, very acoustical that builds up and up at the beginning. Quite a bit of bass included.

Me and Mr. Jones - Amy Winehouse
Ok, this song is starting to give me a headache. I liked it at the beginning, but not right now. Especially since she was drunk at a concert and spat at the fans when they booed her.

Push - Madonna
I love this whole damn album. I like this song because it is actually somewhat true to life. Very instrumental as well.

Let It Will Be - Madonna (The Confessions Tour Version)
Once again, I love her recent albums. This one is also a lot quicker/snappier than the one on her Confessions on a Dance Floor album.

Hung Up - Madonna
I'm a hell of a Madonna fan apparently. This is once again true, has a very snappy and quick beat, and never gets tiring. I must have listened to this song at least 300-400+ times and you know what? It never gets old.

These are all on my 3rd Gen 20GB iPod:

Pump It Up - Joe Budden
Wow. I used to like this song. Now I hate it. Just reminds me of The Fast and The Furious too much.

Lose My Breath - Destiny's Child
Still a pretty good song. Lots and lots of bass.

I Like to Move It - Madagascar 5
I was inspired to buy this song because it was on one of the macTV mashup videos. And I like it!

Good Day - Angels & Airwaves
A very mellow beat. Although I am thoroughly creeped out by all the quite voices in the background at the beginning.

And for the grand finale...

Do You Believe In Life After Love? - Cher
The only reason I have this CD on my computer is because my dad wanted a copy of it and I don't have a CD duplicating piece of software on my computer. I am now going to go hide in the corner. :D
 
New list because my 80 broke so I got my 60 out of storage and had to cut out some of the albums I keep on my Mac.

Fallen - Symphony X
- woo! Prog Metal bay-bee!

Pow R. Toc H. - Pink Floyd
- not a big Pink Floyd fan but their first album is just too weird sounding for a guy like me to resist.

Big Me - Foo Fighters
- I love the Foo.

Okonkole y Tromp - Jaco Pastorius
- I don't know what to say. Its from Jaco's first solo record which I picked up after reading about him in a Bass Player magazine. Good tune too.

Halo - Depeche Mode
- weird. Last post said I would redo after I added some Depeche Mode and they pop up on the new list.
 
:cool: i finally got a chance to update my playlist over the weekend and ended up with a lot of classical music, which isn't really odd in itself.. but i got a good laugh a bit ago because i was listening to "suite-pee" by system of a down which was immediately followed by the some of handel's water music.

.. SWEET! :D
 
From the 1G nano that refuses to mount or sync (the music selection is a good moth old now).

Quiet World - You Say Party! We Say Die!
Epic twenty-three minute indie fest. Yay!

Skeleton Song - Kate Nash
I have no idea why Made Of Bricks is getting slated by many of the UK critics. If you haven't heard of Miss Nash, I suggest checking this song out on iTunes; it's the best of the album.

Charmer - Kings Of Leon
Gotta love that baseline. :D

C**try Boys & City Girls - The Fratellis
Third favorite song off the album, only preceded by Creepin' Up The Backstairs and Henrietta.

F**k Ups - The Holloways
I'm a little scared about posting this song 'cause, well, yeah. *Hides from mods* Reminds me of this year's Glasto. :)

That's probably going to be the last use of that iPod since it's getting replaced with an 80GB classic. :D

I love The Postal Service! Shame really that every single song from Give Up reminds me of my girlfriend who I now won't see until Christmas...
 
Gosh, from reading this thread I realized how much dreadful music is out there, lol. Now can any of you believe I have never put any of my music on shuffle on any of my ipods??!!...this was very fun to do though! I am wondering how it does this because I had several artists play back to back.

Here was my list on my 80 GB ipod:

Friday Night - LILY ALLEN
Not one of my favs by her but I do love most of her songs! :)

Behind Blue Eyes - Limp Bizkit Greatest Hits
OH MY GOSH, this is just random and I must have been in some weird mood to ever download this CD. I did used to run on my treadmill back in the day to Limp Bizkit. :eek:

Sticks and Stones - Babyshambles
My favorite band and I like everything by them. :)

What Katy Did Next - Babyshambles
Same as above. :)

Think I'm in Love - Beck
This was the only song on this particular album that I didn't like, but I do love Beck! :)


It was interesting to see what kept playing so I am writing the next five songs!

France - The Libertines
They are together no more but I listen to them all the time and I never sick of their music. :)

Yummy - Gwen Stefani
The song is ok...I like Gwen enough as a person to buy her music but not crazy about it. :cool:

Mental Concentration - Track 3
This is one of those CD's I bought at Target to calm me down and help me focus better at work, lol. :p

Sea Anemone- Jets to Brazil
Just a good heartbreak song to play over and over and over again when you are miserable. :(

Bring on the Summer - Josh Martinez and the Chicharones
This song was on a really cool CD to probably party to and drink to, lol! :D
 
Rufus Wainwright - The Art Teacher
Ah, what a way to start! This is possibily my favourite song in the entire world. Love love love. "There I was in uniform looking at the art teacher. I was just a girl then; never have I loved since then"

Hole - Plump
Courtney Love is a bit mad (understatment, lol) but I love her music. "They say I'm plump but I throw up all the time."

Elliott Smith - King's Crossing
Second favourite Elliott song (Twilight just wins out). Heartbreaking. :( "Give me one good reason not to do it (Because I love you)"

Rilo Kiley - 15
One of the few songs I love from their new album. "Our skin is like grass, let's smoke it real fast" <3

Sleater-Kinney - The Size of Our Love
S-K are usually way more hyper than this song, and I prefer usually Corin's vocals to Carrie's, but they fit this song perfectly. "Our love is the size of these tumors inside us."
 
DigIt - Skinny Puppy

This song brings back some pretty fun memories of days when there were still music video shows on television and a TV commercial featuring this song which was an anti drug song. The commercial showed a kid skate boarding off a flight of stairs and as he's flying off of them, it freezes and the words come on the screen saying Rise above drugs.

Cry Baby - Janis Joplin

I guess I have Janis on my iPod as a tribute to my mother who left us a year and a half ago. I remember being a young kid maybe 10 and my mom always blasting Janis of the old record player. Good times, great memories.

I still Remember - Gary Numan

Yes the man who wrote the 80s classic, Cars. I had purchased the picture disk of this album back in the 80s and was so impressed with it that it was so full of pops from being played a zillion times. Many people don't know he is still putting out music (dark metal) to this day and touring including America recently.

Damned For all Time / Blood Money - Jesus Christ Superstar

Another classic that I grew up listening to and I think I have every version of this released to date. I even have a few of the movie versions on my iPod.

Born Under Punches - The Talking Heads

A classic album again from the age of the music video in the 80s. Classic album, highly recommended!

Desperados Waitin for the train - Jerry Jeff Walker

An excellent tear jerker, highly recommended.
