Here are a few favorite songs that I actually listen to on my i-Pod nano.
"Buggin' Out": Tribe Called Quest blew my mind with their vocals. I listened to them over and over again in 90's.
"Giving In" : I first saw Adema live at the X Games in Philly and they rocked so I saw them live three more times. They were my first mosh pit band!
"Rock Lobster" : The B-52's were played at every house party I went to in high school. My little nieces love this song now.
"No Sleep Till Brooklyn": The Beastie Boys are slammin' the lyrics on this track.
"The Metro": Smooth vocals and lyrics of Berlin remind me of being in Paris and lying ex-boyfriends.
"Human Behaviour" : The beat drives me nuts and so does Bjork's voice.
"Venus as a Boy": Very sexy vocals and lyrics again from Bjork. This song reminds me of sun shining on a cold Winter's day.
"She Sells Sanctuary": I danced many a night to this Cult song long ago at a club in Philly called Revival. It was an old church and this song played there all the time.
"Ashes to Ashes": I was a senior in high school and a friend played Bowie and Blonde in her car all the time. I love the lyrics.
"Fame": This was my first 45 record and I played it over and over. I still love the blend and the beat of all the sounds, not to mention David Bowie's vocals. I would take Bowie over The Rolling Stones any day.
"People are People": I saw Depeche Mode in the 80's and this song's lyrics are as relevant as ever.
"After the Love is Gone": The vocals are gorgeous. I saw Earth, Wind and Fire in concert years ago with a boyfriend and it was all couples at the show.
"We Want Eazy" : I adore the vocals and the beats on this and I never get tired of hearing Eazy E. He gives me a jolt.
"Microphone Fiend": Eric B. & Rakim are SLAMMING the beats and rhymes. I STILL love these gods of hip/hop and listen to them often.
"Bring Me To Life": Fallen by Evanescence is a great CD. Her vocals are amazing and I'm still hooked on these songs.
"Scarface": The Geto Boys are the soundtrack to a wild stage in my life. The raps and beats are bumping and my girlfriends and I laughed hysterically to the lyrics.
"Steady Mobbin' " : Ice Cube was kickin' out the steady beats and cool lyrics that are addictive.
"Jane Says": It's one of my all time favorite songs from one of my all time favorite bands- Jane's Addiction. Perry Farrell's vocals are amazing and this song is hypnotic with steel drums.
"Smile Like You Mean It": I could cry when I hear The Killers. Their music is so touching and heartfelt.
"Crawling": Linkin Park takes me to a sad place with the vocals and music on this track.
"Kick Out The Jams": MC5 totally delivers kick ass rock & roll on this one.
"Operate": I love Peaches and on this track she tells men to hold still so she can operate. I love that!
"Runnin' " : Pharcyde does this addictive track by sampling RUN DMC and lyrics that are totally relatable for me.
"Breathe" : The Prodigy never gets old for me. Their sound and vocals are addictive and I love the English accents.
"Can't Truss It" : I saw Public Enemy live and they really opened my mind. These beats and Flava Flav are slammin'.
"Testify": Rage Against the Machine is another all time favorite band that opened my mind. When I had a job I hated, I listened to this CD on the way to work everyday.
"Spaceship" : Sean Lennon is so ahead of his time and he is releasing a new CD in September. Into The Sun is a CD I listened too for a year straight. I love this track.
"Something Else" : Is a really fun song and still so socially relevant. The Sex Pistols never get old or dull.
"Black Coffee in Bed" : Squeeze did a video of this song in the 80's with a bi-racial couple in bed and I thought that was so cool.
"Last Night" : I love this song by The Strokes and Is This It is a great CD.
"MotorCrash" : The Sugarcubes CD Life's Too Good has one great pop/alternative song after another with Bjork's vocal's.
"Say It Ain't So" : Weezer's lyrics make me cry because the song reminds me of alcoholism and it's effects.
"London Calling" : The Clash inspire me and take me to another place every time I hear this song.

Rock Lobster: Probably the greatest party song of all time! Ashes to Ashes: I had a friend in college who was a DJ, and he always played Space Oddity followed by Ashes to Ashes...then he would play that lame song by Peter Shilling (I think that was his name), called Major Tom. The Metro: Loved that tune---ah, just thinking of it brings to mind a motel room in Boulder Colorado back in the early 80's... |

Hey Pax, I showed a lot of songs here and even I am surprised at the mixture of alternative and rap. |

Ps. Why were the 80's filled with Motel rooms for people? hehe! |

Hi Shelly- You really sound like the happy- go- lucky Mom type (DYFS anyone?) Thanks for taking time out from your child to spread so much of the JOY you obviously feel in your life. :) |

Great choices, Liz. I think Shelly meant that comment for me - I'm the one who is barren. Pity isn't it? |

HAHA! Actually she said "berren" & I didn't know people still used expressions like that, since birth control and other reproductive options came into play. |
