memery.
1. Favorite Beatles song: "Across The Universe". Fuck you, Ian McDonald.
2. Favorite Rolling Stones song: "Sympathy For The Devil"
3. Favorite Doors song: "Riders On The Storm"
4. Favorite Bob Dylan song: "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream". His funniest song.
5. Favorite Led Zeppelin song: "Immigrant Song"
6. TV Theme Song: "In The Street" from That 70s show. Mmm, power pop.
7. Favorite Prince Song: "Sexy MF". I like the horns
8. Favorite Madonna Song: "Cherish" - perfect pop
9. Favorite Michael Jackson Song: "The Way You Make Me Feel" - more perfect pop
10. Favorite Queen Song: "Killer Queen" is pretty rad.
11. Favorite Motorhead Song: erm..don't really know much of their stuff.
12. Favorite Ozzy Song: Paranoid, I suppose.
13. Favorite Public Enemy Song: "Rebel Without A Pause"
14. Favorite Song from a cartoon: "Baby On Board" by the B Sharps.
15. Favorite Bruce Springsteen song: "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A". Take that, Coyle.
16. Favorite Depeche Mode song: not really into them.
17. Favorite Cure song: "Close To Me"? or maybe "The Caterpillar". I'm very much a Standing On The Beach man.
18. Favorite song that most of your friends haven't heard: "6000 Shipwrecks" by the Kite Flying Society at the moment. Though I did write about it on o_song. Hmmm. Maybe "By And By" by Lazy Susan, which is on their upcoming album?
19. Favorite Smiths song: Probably "This Charming Man" or maybe "Cemetery Gates". I like my Smiths sunny. Morrissey gets a bit much otherwise.
20. Favorite Beastie Boys song: "Sabotage". Though it's better when Fourplay do it (hi Peter!)
21. Favorite Clash song: "Spanish Bombs"
22. Favorite Police song: I am indifferent to the Police generally, but I will say "Message In A Bottle"
23. Favorite Eurythmics song: "Sweet Dreams", I suppose.
24. Favorite Beach Boys song: "Don't Talk, Put Your Head On My Shoulder" - I love love love the bassline and the way the melody moves against it. I do have a soft spot for "Wonderful" though.
25. Favorite Cyndi Lauper song: Um..."Girls Just Want To Have Fun", I guess.
26. Favorite song from a movie: "Needle In The Hay" by Elliott Smith, from the Royal Tenenbaums. That killed me when I first heard it in that context.
27. Favorite Augie March song: I have a thing for "Tulip" at the moment. I replaced the Duran Duran question with this, because I had nothing to say about them.
28. Favourite Zombies song: "Beechwood Park" is still incredibly beautiful.
29. Favorite Johnny Cash song: his cover of "The Mercy Seat" by Nick Cave.
30. Favorite song from an 80's one hit wonder: "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners (eh, nobody really remembers the other song)
31. Favorite song from a video game: The tropical level from the Sony Master System II Sonic 2. I still have that in my head and I haven't played the game for 10 years at least.
32. Favorite Kinks song: I'd say "Waterloo Sunset". I probably should make a less obvious choice, or something off "Village Green", but eh, "Waterloo Sunset" is beautiful.
33. Favorite Genesis song: I enjoy Jeff Buckley's cover of "Back in NYC". I heard the original once.
34. Favorite Thin Lizzy song: "Dancing In The Moonlight". This one sounds like Van Morrison doing soul.
35. Favorite INXS song: "Need You Tonight" - or what's the one about "dream on, black boy"?
36. Favorite Weird Al song: "Alternative Polka"
37. Favorite Peter Gabriel song: I do not know enough of his discography to comment.
38. Favorite John Lennon song: "Serve Yourself". It's only really got one chord, and it's recorded badly, but it's worth it to hear him so angrily take the piss out of Bob Dylan circa his stupid religious stuff like "Gotta Serve Somebody".
39. Favorite Pink Floyd song: I like my Pink Floyd epic. I can't choose between "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "Echoes".
40. Favorite cover song: I have this album I made of live covers that Elliott Smith did of various awesome songs. Of those, I think his cover of "Jealous Guy" by Lennon is possibly the best version of that song ever
41. Favorite White Stripes: I am partial to "It's True That We Love One Another".
42.Favorite dance song: What counts as dance? I do know not! Though, judging by a recent performance, apparently "Lido Shuffle" by Boz Scaggs is what I consider most danceworthy.
43. Favorite U2 song: "Numb". The Edge sung that one.
44. Favorite song from an actor turned musician: "Portions For Foxes" by Rilo Kiley. Jenny Lewis was a child star back in the day.
45. Favorite disco song: "Miss You" by the Rolling Stones.
46. Favorite Power Ballad: oxymoron.
47. Favorite Guns N' Roses song: "Live And Let Die". I don't know why people thought they were tough. They covered Wings!
48. Favorite The Who song: I am indifferent to the Who. I don't mind a "Can't Explain" or "My Generation", I guess.
49. Favorite Elton John song: "Burn Down The Mission", live on the 11-7-70 album.
50. Favorite song, period: "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" by Hall and Oates.*
*i.e., I can't answer this question.
This has been a productive use of my evening. I have been busy otherwise. I went away for the weekend with Jadey for our 2nd anniversary. It was very nice. Jadey has taped a post it note to my screen right now. It says "i want hugs!! (please)".
