I thought it’d be fun to see what songs everyone is listening to a lot lately (either current ones or older ones.) We can remember songs we forgot about, or yell at each other for liking stupid songs, 
.
My list includes:
“Welcome to the Black Parade” - My Chemical Romance
“When You Were Young” - The Killers
“More than a Feeling” - Boston (damn you, Guitar Hero!)
“My Name is Jonas” - Weezer
“Modern Times” - The Black Keys
“Gratitude” - Beastie Boys
“Party of Special Things To Do” - The White Stripes
My new favorite song is Love You by Jack Ingram. One can’t help but love a song with lines like “Love this mother-lovin’ truck that keeps breakin’ lovin’ down”.
Yifei - Mayonako no DOOR. I have been listening to it almost constantly since I got the CD on Saturday.
I’ve also been listening to Shonen Knife’s Buttercup (I’m a Supergirl) a lot.
(A cookie to anyone who knows why those two songs are similar.)
And on a different tangent Ruslana - Dance With the Wolves has been played a few times.
Anything else I’ve lstened to recently has been deliberately to stop a chain of those.
The Dixie Chicks, “Not Ready To Make Nice.” It’s a great FUTK song. I’m glad they didn’t apologize.
Nickelback, “Rock Star.”
Grieg’s “In the Hall of the Mountain King.” It’s been a favorite since a teacher told the story; I can still see the pictures she painted to go with the music.
“Great Big Stuff” from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Yeah, I mostly like songs I can sing along to.
I’m in love with Vienna Teng right now, and K.T. Tunstall’s “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree”, and “Ooh La La” from Goldfrapp.
I’ve been listening to Vangelis’ 12 O’Clock a lot, lately. I’m sure that surprises the Hell out of everyone.
That, and I found a gem of a site with [url=http://www.woolyfsh.com/seasongs/a bunch of old recordings of songs written or adapted by USAF guys during Vietnam. I particularly like “Sandy Cannonball” and “Downtown.” (It probably says something about me that I can go from listening to those, to the recordings of “The East is Red” and “Across the Fields Tanks Thundered” without missing a beat, happy as a clam.)
Hm. Lately:
Vienna Teng - 1 Br/1 Ba
Vienna Teng - Blue Caravan
Vienna Teng - Cannonball
Vienna Teng - Gravity
Tegan and Sara - Walking With the Ghost
Sarah Fimm - Lioness
Sarah Fimm - Virus
Regina Spektor - Consequence of Sounds
Regina Spektor - Fidelity
I only discovered Tegan and Sara a couple weeks ago and have been aware of Regina Spektor for a while but only really noticed her sometime last week whereas Sarah Fimm is the chief god of my musical pantheon and Vienna Teng is one of her concomitants.
Kissing Families - Silversun Pickups
Lloyd, I’m Ready To Be Heartbroken - Camera Obscura
A Sweet Summer’s Night On Hammer Hill - Jens Lekman
Mad About You - Hooverphonic
Booksmart Devil - Silversun Pickups
Ghostfaced Killer - The Dead 60s
Warrior - Matisyahu
Distopian Dream Girl - Built to Spill
Baby Get Out - Elysian Fields
All These Things That I’ve Done - The Killers
Sleepyhouse - Blind Melon
Little Plastic Castles - Ani Difranco
Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect - The Decemberists
Prison Sex - Tool
Everything - Anouk
These are the most frequently played songs in my playlist during the past few days.
Eddie and the Hot Rods- Do Anything You Do
I’ve loved this song since I’ve first heard it. It’s also really appropriate for where I’m at in my life right now.
Prince- Little Red Corvette
Prince- When Doves Cry
I haven’t really gotten into Prince until within the last year or two. Both of these songs are just so great.
Aztec Camera- Over My Head
A very calming, pretty song. In this case that also means that it’s boring if I’m not in the right mood. But otherwise it’s great.
Montt Mardie- 1969
This is one I downloaded. I think I found the mp3 from Pitchfork. Here it is. It’s a song full of longing with the singer wondering what it would be like if he was born 20 years earlier and could have been around for a lot of the stuff then. I can relate. The singer’s use of falsetto was a little off-putting at first but I’ve come to like it.
The Barracudas- We’re Living in Violent Times
It’s a little like the Ramones, but not as fast and more controlled. The sentiments behind the song are genuine, but I wonder if they’re partly expressed in a tongue-in-cheek way. I like songs that do that.
The Beatles- I’ve Just Seen A Face
I didn’t notice this song until somewhat recently. I can’t believe I’ve missed it. I think it’s my favorite Beatles song now.
Iron & Wine- Cinder and Smoke
It’s almost six minutes long and doesn’t change a whole lot, but it feels like a much shorter song. It really draws me in.
A lot of songs from the Replacements album Let it Be. I’ve found myself listening to it a lot while riding the bus, and I’ve come to like it even more than I did before. The only song on there I don’t like much is Sixteen Blue.
Oh yeah, one more thing:
That’s gotta be one of the most underrated songs ever. It’s a great pop song.
