What songs should I definitely have on my I Pod?

Comfortably numb - Pink Floyd.

a few suggestions from recent high rotations at my house:

Hold On I'm Coming: Sam and Dave
Dock of the Bay: Otis Redding
I Can't stand the Rain: Anne Peebles
Classical Gas: Mason Williams
Cinnamon Girl: Neil Young
Birds: Neil Young
Slow Down: JB Lenoir
Hi Heel Sneakers: Little Walter
Embryonic Journey: Jefferson Airplane
Tequila: Wes Montgomery
Ramble Tamble: CCR
Green River: CCR


I still don't have an iPOD ... just vinyl and CDs lying around all over the place.

Wonderful World by Satchmo.

That is a great song.

Snigger

I like you better when you're naked

Ummm...generally better- will check out Lardbucket's selection and Comfortably Numb has reminded me how good In the Flesh was so there's progress.

Augustus- you're really quite intense aren't you? Tell you what though- I bloody love Wuthering Heights. I read the book just so I could understand the song better. I think we can do business...

"Wow" and "Hounds of Love", if you're after a little Bush.

"Paper Bag" by Fiona Apple and "Cornflake Girl" by Tori Amos if you're in the mood for some Bush-inspired girlie stuff.

Didn't the World Cup finish on Sunday?

Decent Days and Nights

This must be one of the butchest threads there's been.

I do know all the songs funnily enough- none quite do the trick although what does is the Futureheads cover of the Hounds of Love.

I want individual songs- my little Ipo can only hold about a 1000 of them and I want some 3 minute gems which I wouldn't normally come across or consider someone might cherish. I might not like them but at least I'm getting some insight into other people's worlds. If I wanted lists of bland MOR rock bands I'd go to boringlists.com.

Now let's all try again

You obviously didn't read my suggestions. Nothing middle of the road there. However, it seems you have a musical attention span of 3 minutes so they probably won't appeal to you.

Massively underrated song that. Good choice.

Funnily enough I was in Brisbane today and caught a cab. Ventura Highway was playing on the radio but I think it was a "latest hits" station.

Razorlight- Wire to Wire

Les Nuits- Nightmares on wax (great summer song)

The Doors - The End
The Doors - Riders on The Storm
Coldplay - Scientist
Coldplay - Green Eyes
The Beatles - Free Like a Bird
The Beatles - I Want You (She's so Heavy)

Poptastic.

Do you like Theme Tunes Eric Air Emo?

Jontyh,

Is that Undertones song My Perfect Cousin or Jimmy Jimmy?

I think Tom should listen to:

Single Ladies - Beyonce
Under Your Thumb - Godley and Creme
The Harmonious Blacksmith - Handel
Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - Soft Cell
Night on a Bare Mountain - Mussorgsky
Poisoning Pigeons in the Park - Tom Lehrer
Summer Night City - ABBA
Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves - Cher
Love to Hate You - Erasure
What a Waste - Ian Dury and the Blockheads
So You Wanna be a Boxer - Paul Williams (Bugsy Malone soundtrack)
Alternative Ulster - Stiff Little Fingers
I Don't Mind - Buzzcocks (or Autonomy, for the most amazing tempo-changing drumming patterns I've ever heard)

I'm pretty sure that the above all have the advantage of already being on our iTunes.

My Perfect Cousin, Rachel - the one who has a fur-lined sheepskin jacket, my ma says they cost a packet. Jimmy Jimmy's a different tune. Tbh, I'd have any of The Undertones' singles on: pure pop perfection.
Mussorgsky, eh? Remember the Maxwell tape ads with the bloke in the chair getting blasted by it..?!
