Gimme a song I just HAVE to download

AXJules · #1 03-07-2003, 03:39 PM

So, I've got to drive 2 hrs to the airport, take a 3 hour flight, and tan for 10 days. It's gonna be rough.

What are some songs that I just HAVE to download and take with me??
They can be anything, happy, sad, upbeat, techno, alternative, country, I don't care. But NO top 40 or something really popular on the radio. New rap or something else is ok.
There are some unbelievable songs out there that only exist because of Kazaa.

I'll start-
You need:
Stars by Better Than Ezra (slow alternative)
Ecstacy by Johnny Vicious (techno)
The Sound of Violence by Cassius (latiny/house/dance)

Do you have that cd that Johnny Vicious and Tall Paul did together awhile back, the Johnn V cd in particular? The female vocals in the song I'm trying to idientify say...."And if I try to make my way, to the ordinary way, I will learn to survive"

It's an anthem and a classic....I'm ashamed to say i forgot who cut the track......but I did have a late night last night.

Unchained Melody by Leanne Rimes-- I like her version better, it's obviously more current

The Jump Off by Lil Kim and Mr. Cheeks-- great car ride song

Get Busy by Sean Paul-- another fun song that'll make you want to get up and dance on the airplane, just kidding

Don't Dream It's Over by Sixpence None The Richer-- I downloaded it because I thought they played this during the How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days preview/commercials, but now I'm not sure if they do, but anyway, it's a really good song-- good song to fall asleep to on the plane ride

99 Luftballons

its german

its about lossing a lover in a wartorn country, but with referces to captain kirk. Its poppy and will be stuck in your head.

UF_Pike- It's called Ordinary World, it's a remix of the Duran Duran song by the same title.

Already got don't Dream It's Over the other night and I LUVVVVVV it. I'm the same way- heard it in the commercial and was like, I need that!

Thanx Librasoul, didn't know Busta did that track but I'm definitely gonna get it......

Funny story about 99 Luftballoons- every day the pop station here does an 80's flashback lunch. And every day this annoying hick calls in and is like, can you play 99 Red Balloons? The DJ goes, German or English? She's like, I don't know German, so, uh, English. This goes on EVERY SINGLE ^*#$#) day and they act like she's never called in before!!!! It has to be the same person- I refuse to believe that song could be that popular in 2003. But yeah I'll probably burn that too b/c I'll feel weird not hearing it everyday! lol....

This thread was kind of meant to be a place where we could all list songs we think are awesome that most people haven't heard before, so thanks. Here's more:
Sail away- David Gray (mellow)
Beautiful Mistake- Better Than Ezra (sorry I'm so in love with them)
And, in case you're ever feeling low, download this song and know that you're NEVER going to be as depressed as this guy:
Something Vague by Bright Eyes. You'll need a drink afterward but it's worth it.

She's popular and on the radio, but I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE these live Norah Jones songs from her Web site.

Songs I haven't been able to stop playing:

"California" Mason Jennings
"You're So Damn Hot" OK Go
"Sleeping to Dream" Jason Mraz (sounds like John Mayer, kind of)

"Get You In" and "Under You" are some of my favorite Better Than Ezra songs but they have a lot of great ones.

At the Stars by Better Than Ezra (kappa sigs)

fixed - anyway, here's a couple from the "recent hiphop" collection:

"Cheeba Cheeba" - Zion I
"Freeze (the Anthem)" - K-OS
"Sticks and Bricks" - Eyedea
"Saves the Day" - Atmosphere
"Daylight" - Aesop Rock
"The Cross" - Nas
"Embarrassed" - Sage Francis
"Sun God" - Common w/ Hi-Tek
"Make You Feel That Way" - Blackalicious

If you're looking for something cheesy, but still fucking amazing, try the new cd by The Postal Service - it's the beats guy from Dntel, with the lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie . . . don't know why, but it's amazing, a sort of emo/bleepbip fusion

AXJules · #11 03-07-2003, 07:26 PM

Are they really KSigs??? I had no idea.
BTE is probably one of the nicest bands I met- they were here a couple weeks ago and let us come inside since it was -10 outside, gave us champagne, took pics, just hung out. And they don't have a single song that sux.(IMHO)

"The cowboy in me" by Tim McGraw
"If I could go" by Angie Martinez
"Something" by Lasgo
"Escape" by Enrique Iglasias
"Longtime Gone" by the Dixie Chics

Cluey · #14 03-07-2003, 10:07 PM

I love BTE, too!

My friends get preturbed on road trips because I'll do mix CDs and every so often there is a BTE song. They started betting on when the next one would pop up. It's good that they all love them, too.

My favorite BTE song is "This Time of Year."

Some other songs I like... (non-BTE)

Traveling Soldier - Dixie Chicks
Carolina In My Mind - James Taylor
Sabotage - The Beastie Boys
Edwyn McCain - I've Never Met A Girl Like You Before
REM - Losing My Religion
WAY too much Broadway...

I listen to a wide range of music. It just all depends on my mood.

I do!

It's by Simple Plan . . . they had a single a couple months ago called "I'd Do Anything" which is fun and catchy in the same way "Addicted" is. I like their song "When I'm With You" too. They're one of those bands whose songs all sound the same, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
