Some of my list have been mentioned but off the top of my head I'd go with

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
(Believed you were) Lucky- Til Tuesday
Run - Snow Patrol
Sympathy for the Devil - the Stones
We're not gonna Take it - The Who
Deeper Shade of Blue- Steps
Without You- Nilsson
Enter Sandman- Metallica

I tend to fixate on 1 or 2 tracks on any album, and never get to listen to the rest, so this topic is right up my alley

"Comfortably Numb" Pink Floyd



I almost added this one to my list, but went with "Wish you Were Here" for purely sentimental reasons:) I loves me a lot of music, so was trying to make a condensed list.

Breakthrough by Hope 7; Leaving a village where children were crying they were so hungry, this song came on and I play it everyday hoping for a breakthrough in Kenya.

Puedes contar commigo by La oreja de Van Gogh; Latino music and I don't speak a word of Spanish, but it is the world's catchiest tune

La Belle Catherine by Celtic Fiddle Festival; if you love Celtic fiddle, this is the ultimate song. If you don't love celtic fiddle, you will after you listen to this.

Delirious Love by Brian Wilson and Neil Diamond: there is no way this song should work, but it is the song of the summer and I enjoy it everytime I hear it.

Long Ago Tomorrow by BJ Thomas; the greatest line in a pop song `Maybe I'll get to change the world before it changes me'

Days of Elijah by Twila Paris; I listened to this 15 times in a row while i was weight lifting this morning; no song charges me up like this one

It's not that I am surprised that I am not the only one who loves this song, but it is that somebody else would actually admit it.

Some really great choices so far! I particularly agree with Jeff on the Breeders' "Cannonball" -- that one came out of my MP3 player the other night while I was driving around and I had to listen to it about 14 times in a row because I knew that whatever randomly came out of it next couldn't possibly be any cooler than that.

Double bonus points to Noah for mentioning two of my all-time favorites: the Cyrkle's "Red Rubber Ball" and Barenaked Ladies' "Jane." And good call to sk716 for "Buddy Holly."

Some of my faves:

"Fairytale of New York" -- The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl
"Crash" -- The Primitives
"Walk Away Renee" -- The Left Banke
"The Short Answer" -- Billy Bragg
"Dover Beach" -- Bangles
"Find The River" -- REM
"Obscurity Knocks" -- Trash Can Sinatras
"Better Be Home Soon" -- Crowded House
"My Heart Stood Still" -- The Mamas & The Papas
"I Say Nothing" -- Voice of the Beehive
"They Don't Know" -- Kirsty MacColl*
"Captain Kidd" -- Great Big Sea
"Someplace Where Love Can't Find Me" -- Marshall Crenshaw
"Somebody's Crying" -- Chris Isaak

* -- if I ever manage to get married, I want that one played at my wedding.

"Jane" - Barenaked Ladies


Ah, excellent song. I know they've been around for a while, but I didn't really discover their music until a year ago. Now I have everything they've ever done.

I'm trying to figure out who here so far has the list closest to my tastes. I want recommendations for new music; I love randomly sampling songs on iTunes.

Guns n Roses baby. Anything by em. The new stuff like " Better " , " There Was a Time " , and " Catcher in the Rye " sound very impressive !

As the entrance used to be : " You wanted the best , well they couldn't fuckin make it ! From Hollywood.....Guns n Roses !"

Like Jeff said earlier, music is like oxygen to me as well. I think the iPod is the pinnacle of human achievement (even though I secretly think it may be alien technology ;) )

I can't pick just one, so don't make me. I do, however, have a "song of the day" or "song of the week" that I just beat to death and then put away for awhile. Song of the week is Maroon 5's "Makes Me Wonder." I heard it three times on the way to work, and I think I'm putting it on again right now.

Great thread and I 'm maxing out my i-pod account.....
and maybe the YABSERs are who I need to identify this song that's been rolling around in my head all year...
It's 70's, I think...don't know the band....has the lyrics

"I've had enough of getting kicked in the head.
I've had enough and I wish I was dead.
I spent 15 years in a rock n' roll band
and all I've got to show is the hole in my hand
where the money's been burning through."

Thought it was ACDC...but can't find any matches and crapped out on all lyric search engines.
Anybody have any idea who that was?

Savoy Brown - Shot In The Head
(vanda/young-warner chappell music ltd.)
hard case, musician mean, hey, hey, hey
it's kind of sad but that's what i'll be, hey, hey, hey
i don't have nothing but the clothes on my back, hey, hey, hey
do my sleeping in an old brown sack, hey, hey, hey
(chorus)
i've had enough of getting shot in the head
i've had enough and i wish i was dead
i've had enough of getting shot in the head
i've had enough of getting shot in the head
i don't have money and i don't have class, hey, hey, hey
need a couple of dollars just to fill my glass, hey, hey, hey
i've got so many friends to my name,
they're all bottles of whiskey, they're friends just the same
never have to worry that's the name of the game, hey, hey, hey
(chorus)
i spent 22 years in a rock and roll band,
10,000 women on a one night stand
and all i've got to show is a hole in my hand,
where my money has burned me through
(chorus)

Prince's "It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night"- either the album version, the version from the Sign O' The Times Movie, or the gargantuan version he did with Miles Davis at the Paisley Park Show on New Years Eve, 1987

(I carry around at least 10 GBs of Prince on my video iPod at all times. I'm a huge fan. And that song changed me from a fan to a devotee.)

John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" and "My Favorite Things"

The Who- Quadrophenia, the entire album

George Clinton & The P-Funk All-Stars- "Maggot Brain", from the Live at the Beverly Theater show

Jackson 5- ABC

Oasis- Fucking in the Bushes, Lyla, Cigarettes & Alcohol (weird, because I don't use either), Rock 'n' Roll Star

The Time- The Bird

and for shits and giggles, WWE's Stone Cold Steve Austin theme song and the original D-X theme song

If you've never listened to the song Oh darling [from Abbey Road]with headphones on, you've never REALLY heard the song. It has to be heard without background noise.

Headphones? Reb, most folks today think those are those little bud things attached to an Ipod. (can't appreciate true audiophile equipment)

Eww.

I will take Steve Miller over The Time,anyday. I do not care how much Kevin Smith likes them.

Morris Day & The Time are OK. They were fun for that time period, and had slight similarities to Prince's sound of that time (For obvious reasons), but I can't listen to them nowadays.

I still have them on our ipod, though.

Interesting list, I forgot to include Duran Duran's "Save A Prayer" on mine.

Have you heard Sunscreem's song "Who Will Love Me Now?" ......It was on one of their subsequent CD's. There was also a remixed version of it which you can find as: Sunscreem vs Push "Please Save Me"

Out of all the people who posted on this thread, your taste in music is probably most similar to mine, although some of the songs on the bottom portion of my list are more to the generic Dance/Euro side, which you didn't really list anything of, and some of the songs you listed are more on the rock/alternative side.

Out of the songs I left in your quote above, if you like that stuff, and if you care to bother finding new music you may not have heard, you ought to check out these songs:

VNV Nation - Kingdom (Demo Version)
VNV Nation - Serial Killer (Tormented)
VNV Nation - Further
VNV Nation - Legion
VNV Nation - Rubicon (Primary Version)
The Azoic - Progression (Assemblage 23 Mix)
Revolution By Night - Faithless (VNV Nation Edit)
Mesh - In The Light Of Day
Mesh - I Don't Expect to be Right
Mesh - Confined
Mesh - My Perfection
Mesh - Friends Like These (Icon Of Coil Xenomorph Mix)
Iris - Endless (The Echoing Green Mix)
Iris - Waves Crash In (Midnight Sky Mix)
Assemblage 23 - Disappoint
Assemblage 23 - Blindhammer
Assemblage 23 - Document (Hajas Mix)
Assemblage 23 - Horizon
Suicide Commando - Comatose Delusion (Hocico Mix)
Suicide Commando - Desire (Wumpscut Mix)
Flesh Field - Prophecy (Nostrothomas A23 Mix)
Bruderschaft - Forever (Prost Alternative Vocal Mix by DJ Arcana)
Apoptygma Berzerk - Love Never Dies Part 1
Apoptygma Berzerk - Mourn
Apoptygma Berzerk - Eclipse (Radio Edit)
Rythmus - Sometimes
Red Flag - Black Rose
Red Flag - Mathematics Of Tears (Aggregate Mix)
The Cruxshadows - Tears (Apoptygma Berzerk Remix)
Faith Assembly - Cascade
Faith Assembly - Pool Of Tears
Faith Assembly - Fall Of Rome
Faith Assembly - Denial
Fineline - Someway, Somehow
Neuropa - Jaded
Neuropa - Regrets
Muse - Starlight

Aside from "Starlight" by Muse, none of these songs are mainstream. Mainly bands signed to independent labels, some of whom have gained popularity in Europe, but not all of them......Some of these bands have similarities to some of the 80's groups/songs you listed, some are industrial bands, but based off your long list you should like this stuff.

And there's this rare 80's tune you may not have heard:

Peter Godwin - Images Of Heaven

And an off-the-wall recommendation is this song, which my wife hates, but I like....Sounds similar to Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus", but just think a hard/industrial version of that song while on acid:

Stromkern "Stand Up" (Iris Mix)

Hey, who was it that did the song, "I can dream about you" back in the 80's? I love that song.

Dan Hartman,from the Streets of Fire soundtrack,a personal favorite movie of mine.

The following is his Wiki entry:

Born Dan Earl Hartman in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Hartman joined his first band, The Legends, at the age of 13, with his brother Dave. Hartman played keyboards and wrote much of the band's music. The band released several records but none were hits. He joined the Edgar Winter Group and played on three of their albums; Dan wrote the band's second biggest pop hit "Free Ride" in 1972. He launched a solo career in 1976. A re-recorded version "Free Ride" was used in the Movie Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie in 1995

In 1978 Hartman reached number-one with the single "Instant Replay"; musicians Hartman worked with on the associated album include Vinnie Vincent (perhaps most famous for his controversial, short-lived membership - and subsequent sacking - from Kiss) and G.E. Smith. This was followed by his second chart topper "Relight My Fire" (1979). Both tracks are considered by many to be anthems of the disco era. There was also a cover version of Instant Replay which was a one-hit wonder for a boy duo called Yell! (Paul Varney and Daniel James) in January 1990.

He was back in the charts yet again with the top-10 single "I Can Dream About You" from the Streets of Fire soundtrack in 1984. Hartman was featured as a bartender in the video, which received heavy rotation on MTV; in the video, his vocals were convincingly lip-synched by Stoney Jackson, an African-American actor. Hartman then scored a third number-one single, "We Are The Young." During the next decade he worked as a songwriter and producer, and collaborated with such artists as Tina Turner, Dusty Springfield, Joe Cocker, Bonnie Tyler, Paul Young, James Brown, Nona Hendryx and Steve Winwood.

He died at age 43 in Westport, Connecticut from a brain tumor caused by AIDS. Only after Hartman's death did his homosexuality become public knowledge. At the time of his death, his music was enjoying a revival; a cover version of his song "Relight My Fire" became a British number-one hit for Take That and Lulu. Sales of Hartman's solo recordings, group efforts, production, songwriting and compilation inclusions exceed 50 million records worldwide.

Stromkern "Stand Up" (Iris Mix)

I am less into Euro/Dance/Electronica,but mainly due to lack of exposure than anything else. The only musical types i do not seem to enjoy in some way are Opera and Death Metal.

I DO have Images of Heaven by Peter Godwin. Good song. Took me a bit to look it up in my music library(do you know what a PAIN it is to convert vinyl into mp3? In the early-mid 90s?). Been awhile since i heard this song. Not bad. The version i have is the Razormaid mix.
I do have the Sunscreem Vs Push "Please Save Me"
I was heavy into 70s/early 80s Hard Rock,but also enjoyed mellow music as well. I liked what i liked and didn't like what i didn't like. The artists that kept producing work that i liked over and over i became a fan of. I actually LIKED Falco(RIP)and i enjoyed that album at the time(i do believe i have Rock Me Amadeus on a photo sleeve 45 vinyl somewhere in my collection).

I plan on looking up alot of the songs on this thread. I plan on adding your songs on the top of my list. Many Thanks. :)

You're welcome, and definitely let me know what you think of the songs after you check them out.

If you have "Please Save Me", but don't have "Who Will Love Me Now?", get "Who Will Love Me Now".....It has more lyrics, and isn't as dance-oriented as the Push remix (Yet still melodic).

I'm impressed you have the Peter Godwin song, and I didn't know Razormaid remixed it. I ought to check that out......Razormaid was always good at getting their hands on shitty songs and making them sound good, and at times they could do good things with songs which were already good. I'm wondering if their remix of "Images Of Heaven" is better or worse than the original.
