you know sometimes you hear a song and it doesn't matter how many times you hear it is still fantastic

[2shoes]

I heard "everybody hurts" by REM and "wake me up when september ends" by greenday. they have to be 2 of the best songs ever
(please note I am not mentioning any Metal songs so as to not be a bore)

Candi Staton You've got the love.

Radiohead, fake plastic tress

perfect day lou reed does it every time for me
list posted here are fab

Bittersweet Symphony-- The Verve

just sends chills down me. was one of 'our' songs at mine and ex dh's wedding, and it sort of stands there in time for me.!!

I'm just playing unfinished sympathy on you tube. So good.

Funny that the last post was 'biitersweet symphony' which rips that video off to the extreme

Oh I loooove Unfinished sympathy too!

also really like Ship building ( The Robert Wyatt version)

I love the Flaming Lips - 'Do You Realize' would be an amazing funeral song.

I was listeninb to the Indigo Girls CD from the early 90s today - the one with Galileo on it - and they have a very special place in my heart! you must listen to this!!!!

The video is magnetically watchable as well. Sigh...happy days!

Teardrop is fab too (wishing I wasn't plastered when I saw them at Glastonbury years ago)

Oh and 'good luck' basement jaxx. I turn this up full volume when DH pisses me off.

Saturday Night by The Blue Nile just makes me go cold.

I like so much music it's difficult but

Lou Reed/Velvet Underground Sweet Jane certainly stops me in my tracks

The River by the Boss....but its not exactly cheering and life affirming

Inbetween Days The Cure

Supermassive black hole Muse

aint nobody chakkkkkka

young hearts run free, candi staton
suspicious minds, the pelvis

Moving on up Curtis Mayfield

Signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours. Stevie Wonder

Thats it.

We need a Mumsnet album. It could be themed:
