The problem with this one is that I tend to listen to almost every single musical genre, so it's kinda hard to think of something that would surprise people. I did get a raised eyebrow from a friend when I bought an Enrique Iglesias album, but that friend was unaware of my love for ridiculous Latin pop.

However, I think I nailed it with this one: ( Read more... )

"Santa Fe" sung by Christian Bale from the film Newsies

Newsies itself is the guilty pleasure, but "Santa Fe" is my favorite song. I should probably level with you that I'm a sucker for musicals and especially anything Alan Menken does. So even though as a New Yorker I should cringe when any character opens his mouth and starts talking in an ( Read more... )

"How You Remind Me" - NickelbackOf all the bands I could have picked to fill this one, I think Nickelback is the least controversial choice. (If anyone wants to know who the other candidates were, please let me know ( Read more... )

Well, I was going to pick "Electrolite" because I love that song and it closes my favorite R.E.M. album, but then I saw the video and I remembered how utterly horrifying it was. I can't in good conscience link that for people. It's frightening and distracts from all the goodness of the song while underlining the fact that Michael Stipe can't lip ( Read more... )

Minus One - No Knife

I was just about to use this one to highlight the fact that I can fall asleep to anything that I know by using Supersonic by Bad Religion as an example of the sort of songs I would play when going to bed, but then I remembered this song and how much I love it and how damn drowsy it makes me ( Read more... )

This is another two-fer, however I don't think I should get penalized for it since both are by the same band.

"Long December" - Counting Crows

When I was living in California I only had one Counting Crows album on my iPod (oh the horror!) which was the 2003 best of album Films About Ghosts and I ended up listening to it almost every day while ( Read more... )

"Got 2 Girlfriends" - UVR

( Every time I hear this song, I break into a grin and think of my pal Malcolm. This song fits him so damn well, it could have been written for him. )

The immediate answer that popped in my head is "Believe" - Yellowcard, because I am incapable of listening to this song without tearing up. I love it dearly, but it always makes me cry.

That's too obvious of a choice though.

Runner up is "Homesick Angels" - Day At The Fair, but I can't go with any one Day At The Fair song since they're all ( Read more... )
