What a great thread! It feels so refreshing amidst the election-tomorrow tension. I'm thoroughly enjoying reading the lists, and thinking oh yeah I really like that one, and hearing a bit of the music playing in my head. Ahhh!
These are the songs I love to the point that not only can I do nothing other than listen when they're on, but know that if I put them on, I'll have to listen 5, 6 or more times in a row. Makes other people nuts (headphones are a great invention). Simon & Garfunkel - "Sounds of Silence" Blondie - "Heart of Glass" Lou Reed - "Walk on the Wild Side" Patti Smith - "Because the Night" Joni - "Amelia", "Stay in Touch" Lucinda - "Blue" Emmy Lou - "Michaelangelo" Richard Thompsons - "Shoot out the Lights", "Dimming of the Day/Dargai", "A Heart Needs a Home" Dave Matthews Band - "Seek Up" (the Luther College version) John Cale - his version of "Hallelujah" PJ Harvey - "This Mess We're In", "Good Fortune", "The Garden" Christine Collister - her version of "Full of Grace" Sloan Wainwright - "Unseen Guide" Nick Cave - "As I sat sadly by her side", "Into My Arms" Innocence Mission - "The Lakes of Canada" Patty Griffin - "Rain" Caroline Trettine - "Name of Life" Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter - live version of "Shotgun down the Avalanche" Dylan - "If you see her, say hello" Wonderful stuff...
