Here are my top 25. This was so hard! I think a calculus problem would have been easier. I listed my top 25 and put a little commentary next to it. Share your list if you'd like I'm curious...
1. Smiths - Reel Around The Fountain [the lyrics are so innocent and so jaded and calculated at the same time]
2. Morrissey - I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday [gives me hope]
3. Cure - Pictures of You [reminds me of somebody very special]
4. Depeche Mode - Behind The Wheel [sexy]
5. Joan Jett - Do You Wanna Touch [pure rock & roll]
6. David Grey - Say Hello Wave Goodbye [reminds me of how me & my ex broke up]
7. Roy Orbison - It's Over [makes me want to killl myself with a dull butter knife that's rusty]
8. The Cranes - Paris and Rome [reminds me of someone special and she sounds like a little girl on helium]
9. The Sundays - I Kicked A Boy [the lyrics are so clever and wicked but the melody is so happy go lucky, pure contradiction]
10. Smashing Pumpkins - Ava Adore [amazing lyrics]
11. Tony Bennett - Smile [makes me cry every time]

18. Robyn Hitchcock - Balloon Man [makes me happy and sing outloud and skip around town every single time]
19. Weezer - Island In The Sun [same reason as #18]

21. Lillian Axe - Letters In The Rain [amazing vocals and very powerful]

23. Warrior Soul - I See The Ruins [pure angst and raw]
24. Big Country - In A Big Country [classic rock & roll and I love the Irish feel]
