Ooooh, let’s see.

“Good Times, Bad Times” Led Zeppelin- first song I ever loved, and so many more Zeppelin tunes followed  
“I’m on Fire” Bruce Springsteen- short, sweet, beautiful  
“Roads” Portishead- not to be played in the psych ward  
“Call on Me” Janis Joplin- lordy, what’s with all these sob tunes?  
“When you were mine” Cyndi Lauper- how’d she get in there? Well, with this song  
“Crazy on You” Heart- dang that gets the blood running  
“Love will tear us Apart” Joy Division, “The Killing Moon” Echo and the Bunnymen, “Head over Heels” Tears for Fears- okay, pretty much the whole Donnie Darko soundtrack  
“Dead Girls” OMD- what’s it really about? Beats me
