The Beatles - Hey Jude

Probably one of the most famous songs ever. As a huge beatles fan i cant say this is my favourite. Without sounding pretentious it's a bit overplayed. Great for drunken sing alongs though. Very typical of McCartney songs, very singable, i love they way it starts so simply but builds into something huge. But i prefer Let It Be.

At The Drive-In - One Armed Scissor
Muse - Knights of Cydonia
Madonna - Frozen
Ben Folds - Ascent of Stan

At the Drive In - One Armed Scissor

The band name comes from the Poison song Talk dirty to me.
Just as indie rock was turning into emo shoe gaze, out of El Paso comes this amped up punkers jumping all over the place.
At the Drive In introduced some of the neatest lyrics since Fugazi to the masses, only to break up as they flirted with rock stardom.

Bob Marley - Redemption Song
Johnny Cash - Rusty Cage
The Ramones - Blitzkreg Bop
McClusky - Lightsabre Coc k Su cker Blues

Bob Marley - Redemption Song

My knowledge of his music is limited to a single best of collection, but of the songs on that disc Redemption Song is by far my favourite. It's a very easy song, despite the lyrics being quite charged, and great fun to play on the guitar singing along with a group of friends. Another great thing is that it's not grossly overplayed like No Woman, No Cry.

Coldplay - Everything's Not Lost
Damien Rice - Amie
David Bowie - Changes
Elliott Smith - Son of Sam

Son of Sam - Elliot Smith

The first time I heard this, was this version (with Nickel Creek, Glen Phillips from Toad the Wet Sprocket, Pete Thomas, and John Paul Jones). Elliot Smith's version though, is much better. His haunting vocals carry the song. I don't have much Elliot Smith to compare this to however, so I can't say where it stands in his catalouge. On it's on, a very cool song.

N Edition

Hold On, Hold On - Neko Case
King of Carrot Flowers Pt 1 - NMH
Pink Moon - Nick Drake
Tomorrow is a Long Time - Nickel Creek

Nick Drake - Pink Moon

As a whole the Pink Moon album is absolutely excellent, and the song Pink Moon is no exception. The piano melody (which i think is the only place on the album that isn't just guitar+vocals) is very welcoming, for lack of a better word. It's very pleasant.

It might be interesting to get peoples thoughts on the song being used in a Volvo(?) commercial, but not in this thread.

Nice song from their second album, which wasn't as good as their first one since they abandoned alot of their original, ska sound. They had a very cool singer, though and the song has a nice and catchy chorus, with some oooh's and aaah's thrown in for good measure.

Faith no More - Collision
Primus - Jerry was a racecar driver
NOFX - Seeing double at the Triple Rock
Ween - Hey there Fancypants!

Primus - Jerry Was A Racecar Driver

Good song from a good album, one of their catchier numbers. I really love the high up bass riff that goes on throughout. Pretty proggy as well, especially with the guitar.

The Police - Message In A Bottle
Muse - Hysteria
The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be
The Jackson Five - I Want You back
