YOUR FAVORITE SONGS ( & Downloads)

[wonkabar]

Yes, there is a Top 100 singles thread

http://zone.aintitcool.com/viewtopic.php?t=3250

However, this is a SONGS-list...so if Jimmy-Crack-Corn is your deal, feel free to throw it down. Plus 100 is alot to ask for. List your personal favorites... your ultimate-mix. It's also a place for those one-hit-wonders, or "the only good song on the album" "I always liked that song on the radio" and guilty-pleasures of course.

Here's a few of mine

Love Comes Tumbling-U2
Down in Splendour-Staightjacket Fits
Timeless Melody-The La's
Friends of P-The Rentals
Galaxie-Blind Melon
Ugly Girl-Fleming and John

karaoke gold, no?

[MasterWhedon]

Best song ever written is You Can't Always Get What You Want by The Rolling Stones.

I'm also partial to Where the Streets Have No Names by U2 and Losing My Religion by REM.

There are many others, but those are easily my top three.

. . . . .

A few these should count as cheating since some songs (such as The Strokes, Jenny Lewis, et al) weren't yet released in 2005.

Why would we go off on you for compiling a long list? All it says about you that matters is that you cared a lot about what you had to say. Plus, I fucking love long lists. Odds are higher that something I like'll be on there. Welcome to the Zone.

[Chief Redcock]

Wow, both of my selections somehow involve the word "new." Didn't notice that before. That's kind of weird.

i'm sorry.

[Shane]

|I'm listening to alot of Rollins spoken word lately.

i'm sorry.

You must bow to the greatness that is Henry.

[MiltonWaddams]

Oh I will, I love Henry Rollins. He's a two ton mountain of a man with arms like tree trunks, and he's the best part of any of the terrible movies he's in, plus the William Shatner CD duet thing, but his spoken word is just.. too much.

Henry Rollins fights the entire Wu Tang Clan, who wins?

Henry Rollins.

[cinephile2000]

Paradise by the Dashboard lights
American pie
YMCA
Bohemian Rhapsody
Time Warp
Heavy Metal

"Roll up the window and turn it down a notch unless you want to die" favorites of mine

Dancing Queen - ABBA

I have to admit, this song touches me in weird places as well. I listen to it and I feel like Toni Collette in Muriel's Wedding, which I think that I think is a good thing... which happens to scare me a little.

You're terrible, Muriel...

[Ribbons]

You're terrible, Muriel...
