Right Now I have two favorite songs - it’s a tie.

“Always” by Saliva

and

“Like A Stone” by Audioslave

Diggin’ a lot of Shawn Mullins, especially _Twin Rocks, Oregon_, I’ll also hafta jump on the Mayer bandwagon and say _Your Body is a Wonderland_, and one more I have listened to a bunch lately is Rush’s _The Fountain_ suite… never could decide if that was one song or several… but there you have it.

If you’re talking about **Clocks** , I agree completely. If you’re not, check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

“Souleater” by The Clouds.

This has been going around in my brain for a fortnight now, and motivated me to look for a best-of CD.

Any idea how tough it is to track down an obscure best-of CD by a band who fringed mainstream success for six months, eleven years ago? (Yes, I have now found somewhere I can get it, thanks, but it wasn’t easy).

Another vote for “Clocks” and one for “The Scientist,” also by Coldplay. There’s not a bad song on that whole album.

Whatever that Sheryl Crowe song is with the line:

\*It’s not getting what you want …it’s (something) what you have. \*

Another Coldplay fan signing in. My favourite on the new album has to be Amsterdam, though (the last track).

Lately it’s _Travelin’ Soldier_ by the Dixie Chicks. Although I wouldn’t necessarily call it a favorite, just the one that keeps sticking in my head.

Johnny Cash’s cover of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt”. Song stops me in my tracks every time I hear it.

Good Vibrations - Beach Boys. Gotta go with the classics.

Coldplay is amazing. I’m not even sick of Yellow yet and most of the songs off their latest CD just blow me away. In My Place and Clocks specifically.

Al fila el colmilo by Titan and Mala Rodriquez from the . . .y tu mama tambien soundtrack. And my gta:VC soundtrack. I can’t pick one, it’s the whole experience that’s a favorite right now.
