TWO favourite songs at the moment ?

[Easy 10]

Yes its MY thread so I'm limiting it to only TWO of your fondest tracks right now. Not necessarily all-time faves, just a couple of songs that you bloody LOVE at the moment.

For me, first up at the moment, its Stereophonics with Dakota.

Performed at Live 8, and was so damn good I just didn't know what to do with myself (watching it on TV). What an absolute TREAT to see the Phonics do this song live, and by christ can they do it live. Fabulous husky tones, nostaligic lyrics, and pure uplifting melodic genius of this gem of a track. I could happily listen to Dakota all day. Beautiful.

And next....Rag Doll, by Aerosmith. Bought their Big Ones album recently cos I love their stuff, and had completely forgotton the GIGANTIC bass drum thumping through this whole track, the marvellous lyrics, "Rag Doll, living in a movie...hot tramp, Daddys little cutie...." the best use of a mouth organ ever, just a track I defy ANYONE not to nod their head to in synch with that huge drum. Fuckin' brilliant.

Anyway, those are my two FAVES at the mo. Anyone else ?

Recently most played two tunes are

Green Day, When September Ends & The Killers, Somebody Told Me

 

[Easy 10]

I'm coming round to the fact that Green Day are pretty damn good. American Idiot is qualla.

 

[Hilton]

Art Brut, Emily Kane and Maximo Park, Going missing

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Justin Hawkins - This town aint big enough for the both of us is making me listen to The Sparks version of it a lot.

My 2 choices are though Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze
The Kinks - Apeman

 

[Cian]

New Order - Regret. Sounds even better after hearing it live on Sunday.

Therapy? - Screamager. Liked this one for ages, had to grab a track off the CD for a friend and listened to it again. First track I know of to particularly commercially target the angry teenager market, but its still a great track in its own right.

 

[NMH]

T.S.O.O.L. (The Soundtrack Of Our Lives) - 'Bigtime'
Their latest album is all good, and with variety so that no track is like another, yet it's quality throughout.

PORCUPINE TREE - Blackest Eyes
Anyone who thought that progressive music was long gone as a listenable entity, and that it has all been done - should listen to Porcupine Tree's latest release 'Deadwing' (the above track is off the album that precedes it)

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

14th Street by Rufus Wainwright and Strut by Danko Jones. If you don't know Danko, download We Sweat Blood today - it's qualla.

 

[NMH]

Special mentions for newer bands I Am Kloot (their self-titled CD is great) and Nine Black Alps (who haven't got around to a 1st album yet I don't believe)

I'm coming round to the fact that Green Day are pretty damn good. American Idiot is qualla.

I've been saying that for over ten years. Anyway my two current favouries are Gwen Stefani's 'Hollaback Girl' - Great song, great video and Feeder's 'Pushing the senses', another great song from the album of the same name.

 

[Hiney]

Jimi Hendrix - Red House

Alison Limerick - Where Love Lives

These were the last 2 songs on the pod as I came into work

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Bob Dylan - Hurricane. For some reason. And I've not got a second at the moment.

Hang on - how about "Yes - we have no banana's"

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Hang on - how about "Yes - we have no banana's"

Quality track.

 

[tinx]

In your honour - Foo Fighters (Title track of their most recent album)

and as of this morning I'm re adding

Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia (9 mminutes of true class that I enjoyed driving in this morning)

 

[silky1]

Kasabian - Club Foot (as much as because my two year old loves it, as I do)

World Party - Is it too late (To pick a single track form this phenomenal album 'Goodbye Jumbo' is not fair on the rest of it, matures brilliantly as an album).

 

[JJ McClure]

and Feeder's 'Pushing the senses', another great song from the album of the same name.

Good call on Feeder, top tune from a top band.

Mine would be Holiday by Green Day, and Man On The Moon by REM probably due to the superb way they did it at Live8.

 

[Icy Gull]

No one going for the hugely overhyped Kaiser Chiefs then ?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Nine Black Alps (who haven't got around to a 1st album yet I don't believe)

It's out now and is titled 'Everything Is'. Pretty good it is too.

My two tracks are.....

Kano - 'Nite Nite'. From his debut album which is one of the most promising I've heard all year.

Arctic Monkeys - 'Mardy Bum'. No description needed, just download it, it's great.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

still inspired by live8

pink floyd-comfortably numb

led zepp- whole lotta love

 

[Braders]

Feeder - pushing the senses and Green Day - wake me up when september ends
