Like the title says.
Y'know how sometimes you can love certain music, but it gets to a point where you've just heard it too much. You switch it off half way through the song, try to find something else. Then there are songs that no matter what you are going to listen to from the very beginning to the very end. I am no musical professor, not a singer, songwriter, in fact I know really nothing about music other than I enjoy listening to it. This is my list. Your list might differ, but my list is bettah.
10. Sweet Child O Mine- Guns and Roses
I always forget about this song, then I'll hear it somewhere and it will get lodged straight into my brain and stick there for weeks on end. Even with my genetic inability to dance I still can't help getting up and cutting a rug when this one comes on. Also-Axel Rose. Or Axl Rose. However you spell it. The man isn't the least bit attractive, and he screams like a banshee, but...Axel!
9. To Be With You- Mr. Big
Who else thought the lead singer was a girl?
8. Get Down to It- TBTBT
There's like a 99% chance that you wont know this song if you aren't Canadian. They were like a kiddy rap/R&B group from Toronto/Mississauga. Kinda like a loseresque Kris Kross. Well, more loseresque.
This is kinda cheating too, as you'll never hear this on the radio. BUT if it did come on, I'd not only listen, oh no! I'd have the windows open, blast the music and sing at the top of my lungs, possibly causing the death of other motorists.
7. Stand Up- Ludacris
Yet another song I haven't heard on the radio in quite a long time. Its fun, and it makes me laugh. Its not serious, not aggressive, and makes me want to shake my pasty white arse. Also "BLAH!".
Also also, this one could go on a favorite video list too.
6. Runaway Train- Soul Asylum
I'm pathetic. I hate children with a passion. If a kid fell on the street in front of my car I wouldn't even swerve, I'd claim it was a suicide. 3 year olds do that all the time right? Then this stupid song comes on, and all I can think of is the missing children. Their sad little faces flashing on the screen. The fact that most of them are probably dead. The tears start welling up. My voice starts trembling. Next thing I know I'm bawling irrationally over people I don't know, because damn it...its just so sad.
Also, I thought this singer was cute when I was younger.
5. Sliver- Nirvana
I was 14 when Cobain died. Right at that age where angsty rebelious music was the thing, and Nirvana was so hot. Despite that I never actually liked them. I found there music to be...well, boring. It wasn't until a while later I heard this song, and finally decided to give Nirvana a try. I still hated them, but this song stuck with me. Its about nothing, and I like that.
Also it paints a picture in my mind of me sitting in a small room, with wood paneling on the walls. Not 100% sure why?
4. Karma Chameleon- Culture Club
Shut up, you so love this song too!
3. Jump Around- House of Pain
Yep, this one too. Someday this will be a classic. We'll be seeing House of Pain on oldie albums when were all back in diapers.
2. Jesus Walks- Kanye West
It just is catchy. Bum bum bumbumbum! Unfortunately the message of the song seems to be solely delivered to African Americans, when if it really could have been applicable to everyone. Or maybe the use of "The N Word" is just sensationalistic? Maybe I'm just missing something.
1. Billie Jean-Michael Jackson
This song is almost 30 years old. I had this record as a baby. I can not even begin to start-its just an awesome song. Admittedly, when I was young I had no idea what the song was about, but that didn't stop me from breaking out my best Michael moves.
Also, this video is terrible. What the fuzz is going on?
