Are there songs that you never get sick of? I've been trying to compile a list of songs that I'm always happy to hear. Interestingly enough, most are from artists that I, otherwise, don't really care much about. I have some of the records, but all of them were bought at huge discounts. Here's what I have so far:
In the Meantime - Spacehog
Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve
Pepper - The Butthole Surfers
Out Of My Head - Fastball
No Rain - Blind Mellon
Friends In Low Places - Garth Brooks
Follow You Down - The Gin Blossoms
Semi-charmed Life - Third Eye Blind
All These Things That I've Done - The Killers
Flagpole Sitta - Harvey Danger
Hey Ya - Outkast
I don't know why, but even when those songs were still getting massive radio play, I never got sick of them. I'm still really happy when they come on. What are yours?
I'm totally with you on Bittersweet Symphony and Semi-charmed Life.
ReplyDeleteAlso:
Counting Blue Cars - Dishwalla
The Way - Fastball
Sex and Candy - Marcy Playground
Paper Planes - MIA (I am pretty embarrassed about this one. I think I've hated everything else I've heard of hers, but that song is some kind of weird magic.)
99 Luftballoons - Nena (but only the German version, damnit.)
Steal My Sunshine - LEN
Start Wearing Purple - Gogol Bordello
Creeque Alley - The Mammas and the Papas
Time of the Season - The Zombies
Home - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes
Oh, and Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend. I cannot get enough of that song. I like about half of their stuff, not really crazy about it, but that song is some kind of magic.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way about that MIA song.
