Recommend 5 songs that you think everyone should listen to....

The Old 97s - Niteclub
It is fun to be in a bar with this on the jukebox, drunk off one's ass, singing along with a sad, anthemic chorus that culminates in "I just might get drunk tonight and burn the niteclub down!"

The Commodores - Brick House
Yeah, you hear it all the time. But it's the most danceable song of all time with THE funk bassline; it even makes clumsy nerds like me want to get up and shake my ass.

Air - Moon Safari
Tried to pick one song, but the album feels like one long, weird song such that any song by itself sounds out of context.

The Queers - Mirage
Live, because it is mixed poorly on an album. A cover of a Shondels song, this has a great build-up/release that is executed perfectly by the best post-Ramones pop-punk band in the history of ever.

Weezer - Only in Dreams
An under-stated and perhaps under-rated modern epic.

Nice, I love the Faces. Have you heard their live version of Maybe I'm Amazed? It blows McCartney's out of the water.

Anything Postal Service is good, much better than their new incarnation (Death Cab For Cutie)

Totally, man. I hate when good bands start new projects that suck. Like when Zep disbanded and started the Yardbirds.

Hard Drive -- Evan Dando
Formerly of the Lemonheads, this song was Dando's idea of the best way to live without drugs.

See the World -- Gomez
Beautiful little song; nice commentary and understated compared to the rest of their new album, which I just bought.

Anaesthesia Necrophilia -- Stuart Davis

Very interesting writer; the song's just fun to listen to, with a very witty ending.

Get In the Car -- Blu Sanders
One of the few wuss-rockers who knows how to write an original love song.

The First Single -- The Format
Awesome live band deserves more recognition.

[MagicNinja]

MC Solaar: Solar Pleure (Symphonic Version)
Tool: Aenima
Nas: I Can
