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)

novacaine - it's soles of her shoes isn't it? But yes, I like the "awa-awa" intro by LBM.

LyraSilvertongue · 02/04/2008 22:59

The whole of The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths. I'll never tire of it.

LyraSilvertongue · 02/04/2008 22:59

Also almost every song on Nevermind by Nirvana. And Kings of the Wild Frontier by Adam and the Ants.
I could go on and on and on...

If we are allowing new ones: Remi Nicole's "Rock & Roll". Sounded like nothing else around when I first heard it last year. And Tara Blaise "Paperback Cliche".

(and its Novacane LOL)

the oldies are the best for comfort.

nice soothing tunes

UnquietDad · 02/04/2008 23:15

I'd also like to point you honourable people in the direction of:

The Revelations

Yes, those birds who failed to get through the Eurovision thing. But they're better than that. Really. Listen to "If I Called You On The Telephone" here.

It's like Benny and Bjorn hired three white Motown girls to sing their new songs, and infused them with the soul of Saint Etienne's Sarah Cracknell.

DaDaDa · 02/04/2008 23:21

Suffragette City by David Bowie
Roadrunner by Jonathan Richman
Move On Up by Curtis Mayfield (best intro ever: BA! ba da da da da ba da da dadum!)

I agree with loads of your choices, but especially EachPeach.

Vulgar · 02/04/2008 23:21

California Dreaming -the Mamas and the Papas

Teenage kicks - the Undertones

Loads I really like have been mentioned before but I must really question the poster who suggested Chris de Burgh . . . noooooooooo . . .he is evil!

DaDaDa · 02/04/2008 23:25

And while we're having an Aztec Camera love-in, can I make one of my periodic plugs for Roddy Frame's 'Surf'. Genius.

Respect to whoever mentioned 'Gold' by the Spands, What a great tune that is. Tony Hadley has a ridiculous voice.

i really hate that roddy frame one, i had a job for those two weeks in 1987 where that was in the top ten and we all had to listen to radio one.

brings bad bad memories. only liked that 'obvious' one.

schneebly · 02/04/2008 23:33

Tiny Dancer - Elton John
