in no particular order...go ahead and laugh at my eclectic music tastes...
1. R.E.M. - It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) (I know ALL the words!) 2. R.E.M. - World Leader Pretend (from the Green album - the lyrics are AMAZINGLY insightful) 3. Third Eye Blind - Tattoo of the Sun (just a really freaking cool song) 4. Chuck Carrier - Faulkner's Notes (if anyone here has heard of him I will be surprised. local Gainesville musician) 5. Sarah McLachlan - I Will Remember You (special personal memory song. makes me want to cry) 6. U2 - Mysterious Ways (more deep lyrics. "To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal, if you want to kiss the sky better learn how to kneel") 7. DJ Laz - Ese Morena (first taste of Latin music from S. Florida friends I met freshman year of college. 6 years later and I LOVE the music, love Latin dancing - salsa, merengue, bachata, all of it) 8. Sister Hazel - All For You (the anthem of my freshman year - the band is from Gainesville and I bought their CD BEFORE they made it big! Ha! I knew them "when"! Aren't I cool? I'm on the video too - they filmed it at a concert on my 19th birthday, 1999) 9. The Samples - Shine On (awesome band but they broke up! I think they coulda made it big. sad sad sad!) 10. Weezer - Undone (The Sweater Song) (How FUNNY is this??? Love it love it love it!) would also like to note that virtually everything ever done by the Beatles, Pink Floyd, R.E.M., U2, and my Gainesville people Sister Hazel, Big Sky and Tom Petty totally deserves recognition as Highly Honorable Mention! ...and my favorite song of the day... Nelly - Number One ...because it expresses what I'd like to say to everyone who's tried to F*** with me in the last two months. Screw you. I AM NUMBER ONE you jealous petty little twits. But I'm not bitter...hahahaha! |

Top 10
Kind a hard to limit it to just 10… so since I’m bi-polar I’ll list “both” selections :D Dark Mood/Chilling: “Mad World” – Gary Jules (song is surreal view of the world – and that’s how I see the world some days) “Morphine” – The Night (good blues/jazz fashion) “Ohio” – Dandy Warhols (dark cover of Neil Young’s song) “Famous Blue Raincoat” – Hayden (cover of a good Leonard Cohen song) “Strange Days” – Matthew Good Band “On the Turning Away” – Pink Floyd (brings up halcyon memories of my teens at the cottage) “Golden Age” – Beck (great chill-out song) “Mother” – Blind Melon (rare but good) “Fiddler’s Green” – The Tragically Hip (or Stereophonics cover either is great) “Old Man” – Neil Young (loved his dad’s books as a kid) Good Mood/Partying “Diamonds on the Inside” – Ben Harper (reminds me fondly of an ex) “House of the Rising Sun” – The Animals (Little Red Riding Hood is also a another fun one) “Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead” – Crash Test Dummies (fun song, and the girl does a good job singing) “Kiss Me, I’m Shitfaced” – Dropkick Murphys (great drunk at the bar song) “Drunken Lullabies” – Flogging Molly (good song, good message) “Ramble On” – Led Zeppelin “Whiskey in the Jar” – Metallica (awesome combo of metal and traditional Irish pub music) “Home for a Rest” – Spirit of the West (overplayed up here on Frosh mixes for a decade now – but I have lived the song… and I know all the lyrics) “50 Mission Cap” – The Tragically Hip (love the fact that Leafs history inspired the song) “New Orleans is Sinking” – The Tragically Hip (the Killer Whale Tank version is a classic… although neither has been on the radio lately – guess it’s still bad taste along with Zeppelin’s When the Levee Breaks) |

Asking me to choose a Top 10 is like asking me which child is my favorite. Absolutely impossible! So, this is my list but trust me when I say it will change in about 30 seconds: 1. "Tomorrow Never Knows" - The Beatles 2. "Surrender" - Cheap Trick 3. "Dear Prudence" - The Beatles 4. "She's a Rainbow" - The Rolling Stones 5. "Voices" - Cheap Trick 6. "Revolution" - The Beatles 7. "Across the Universe" - The Beatles 8. "Brain Damage/Eclipse" - Pink Floyd (2 in 1 choice) 9. "I'm in Love With My Car" - Queen (the fun choice of the bunch) 10. "Heaven Tonight" - Cheap Trick |

Anyway, my initial argument was that the topic was too vague. I for one, chose my Top 10 Songs You Might Have Heard On the Radio, but I could have used more obscure ones. There could have been a more comprehensive breakdown in Top 10 categories, like Top 10 Songs No One Else May Have Heard Of, or Top 10 Party Songs, or Top 10 Sad Songs, etc..... |
How about: Top 10 Songs No One Else May Have Heard Of By Bands Everyone Knows? Now, that's a thread idea. Anyone game?
