The way it works: comment and I'll assign you a random letter. Then, go post your favorite ten songs that begin with that letter. Then tell me why you like them In my case, the letter was "t", and these aren't so much my all-time favorites that begin with "t" so much as they are the first ten that popped into my head.
1. "Thank You (Fer Lettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)", Sly and the Family Stone
So funky, it hurts. Additional bonus for funny/nonsensical title.
2. "The Big Sky", Kate Bush
Something about this song instantly cheers me up. It's incredibly pleasant and charming, like watching cloud shapes twist and change.
3. "Train in Vain (Stand by Your Man)", The Clash
London Calling is probably my favorite album of all time, and this is a great note to end it on-- catchy, not overly serious, they sound like they got together and decided to bitch about wimmin whilst having a good time.
4. "Tainted Love", Soft Cell
YEAH CATCHY NEW WAVE FUTURIST POP, BABY. I think my ideal job would be something along the lines of being the keyboardist in a "Tainted Love"-only cover band, just so I could keep playing that cool little organ riff indefinitely.
5. "The Boy with the Arab Strap", Belle and Sebastian
<3.
6. "The Tower of Song"/"The Guests", Leonard Cohen
Couldn't choose between these two. Cohen is great because he is like the best story you've ever heard only wrapped up in a pretty musical package. Sometimes he doesn't make a lot of sense, but my God, does he make sense. If that makes sense.
7. "The Dreaming", Kate Bush
Two Kate Bushes, I know. This one is like the prototypical Kate Bush song-- multi-layered, dark, weird, and will probably make you trip if you listen to it for long enough.
8. "Time", Pink Floyd
Not only is this a fabulous song, but I have very good associations to go along with it, because it used to be our alarm clock back in my high-school youth group.
9. "Two-Headed Boy", Neutral Milk Hotel
Go ye forth and listen to this, right now.
10. "Truce", The Dresden Dolls
I think this is the most unabashedly vicious song I've ever heard. It's... it's.... If someone wrote this about me I think I would drive off a cliff. It's a damning indictment of everything that can go wrong in a relationship, on both sides.
