A kind-of sort-of meme..
What recently released songs make you all excited when you hear them on the radio - which songs are you sure to stop for, every time you hear them, these days?
The point of this isn't to show off your TRUE favorites that nobody's heard of. We're focusing on popular radio stuff.
And, from my list, which ones do you like, which ones do you despise, which ones haven't you heard?
Here's my list! And just in case you haven't heard, a link to the myspace page for each where you can listen. Just be sure to select the right song - most of these songs are not the default. My stuff is pretty diverse - if you hate something, you're sure to find something else that you do like.
Evans Blue - Beg
http://www.myspace.com/evansblue
(its dramatic, takes-itself-too-seriously rock, but, I think its beautiful)
AFI - Love Like Winter
http://www.myspace.com/afi
(energetic, upbeat, and packed with feeling)
Maroon 5 - Makes Me Wonder
http://www.myspace.com/Maroon5
(tons of fun, I always sing along)
Nine Inch Nails - Capital G
http://www.myspace.com/nin
(political! once you get over how weird it sounds, it's insanely catchy)
Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around
http://youtube.com/watch?v=IlwB4jyq5Tw (its only the song, not a video)
(I'm in love with everything about this song. So much more than the simplistic pop of Justin's NSYNC days - its a rich, full ballad)
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
http://www.myspace.com/gnarlsbarkley
(see, I don't just listen to white people music! hah.)
Incubus - Dig
http://www.myspace.com/incubus
(a little bit cheesy, but, very pretty)
Nelly Furtado - Say It Right
http://www.myspace.com/nellyfurtado
(ah, you've heard it, you know what it sounds like)
Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye
http://www.myspace.com/silversunpickups
(a little more obscure but, its gotten its share of radio play. This is the kind of stuff that grows on you and you fall in love with everything they do, instead of just thinking the song is catchy. Listen to this song a few times before deciding if you like it or not - it really does grow on you.)
(notably absent from this list - anything zeitgeist. Damn you, billy)
