The Song Letter Game

Oct 25, 2007 02:26

Comment and I'll give you a letter. In your journal, list 10 of your favorite songs that begin with that letter.

benson3 gave me the letter B

Here goes. Just ten?

  1. Bouree from Suite in E Minor for Lute -- Nightnoise, from The Bach Variations (simply beautiful)
  2. Bach Partitia & Chaconne in D minor -- Yehudi Menuhin (again, simply beautiful, and moves me to tears)
  3. Blood and Water -- Jon Jenkins, from Flow (electronic & meditative, this moves me in a different way)
  4. Blue -- Max Raabe & Palast Orchester from their self-titled album (some of the finest lounge music around)
  5. Blue Caravan -- Vienna Teng, from Dreaming Through the Noise (I love the lyrics)
  6. Blue Monday -- Orgy, from Candyass (I like New Order's original, but I especially love this harder-driving cover)
  7. Bo Didgeley -- Trance Mission, from a self-0titled album. (Noone knows these guys, but I love the fusion of synth & didgeridoo & clarinet)
  8. Bohemian Like You -- The Dandy Warhols, from Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia (happy fun power pop with a lyric edge)
  9. Boots and Shoes -- the Korgis, from Klassics - The Best of The Korgis (more brit-pop, this is a very cool song from my childhood)
  10. Body Language -- Booka Shade, from Singolo and Movements (I like this electronic piece so much I have three different mixes of it)
  11. Bullish -- Herb Alpert from A&M Classics Volume 20 (some might call it cheesy trumpet jazz, but I loves me some Herb)

Black Kites - Lucretia My Reflection (Sisters of Mercy)
Oh wait, that's eleven. Hell, I never was too good at following directions. So here's a couple of bonus tracks:
12. Bushes -- Baaba Maal, froim 1 Giant Leap (I love passion's slow buildup to the African singer's voice)
13. Black Betty -- Spiderbait (great hard driving rock to clean the house to)

Let me know if you'd like to hear any of these, and I'll upload so you can try them out.

meme, music
