Now keep in mind that taste in music is very individual. Admittedly I have some odd choices and not very many classics. These are all in my iPod. Hopefully you’ll find a couple new songs to like that you didn’t know. How about in the comments you list your top 3 songs of all time?
Crazy Train (1980) –Ozzy Osbourne– The opening is awesome.
Connecticut is For F***king (2005) Jesus H. Christ and the Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse: Funniest. Song, Ever.
Dammit (1997)– Blink 182– Just a great pop-punk song that I can’t help but jump to.
Basketcase (1994)– Green Day– This is the song that made me love Green Day 20 years ago and they’re still my favorite band.
Stacy’s Mom (2003)– Fountains of Wayne– Completely idiotic, but how do you not sing along to this?
Happy Hour (1986)– The Housemartins– Awesomely happy, upbeat song. Fatboy Slim’s first band.
Banditos (1995)–Refreshments: A cheesy song from the 90’s but I never get tired of it.
Hawaii 5-0 theme-The Ventures– In college whenever they played this at a bar we’d get up on the tables and dive into the crowd repeatedly for the duration of the song. Whenever I hear it I have flashbacks.
Just Like Heaven (1987)–The Cure: When this first came out how many of you thought the line went “Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick. The one that makes me scream seasick”?
It’s Nice To Be Alive (2011)-Ballpark Music: If this song doesn’t make you feel happy when you hear it then you’re dead inside. If I could have this playing on a loop when you’re on my blog I would.
So what are your favorites? What are the songs that make you sing out loud in your car?
Have a great Tuesday! ~Phil
Yours are happier than mine:
1. “Fake Plastic Trees” Radiohead
2. “Teardrop” Massive Attack
3. “April Come She Will” Simon and Garfunkel
All good choices though!
“Fake Plastic Trees” is fantastic. Have listened to it several times today. Download!
I already have it. Its a good song.
Just sent you an invite to our cabin on the Camp Nanowrimo site. Come join us!
Cool. Will do!
Phil. I love your immensely funny blog. I do not love your taste in music. And I’m sure you’d say the same about mine. But, hey, vive la difference!! Hope you have a “Just Like Heaven” day.
Thanks. Yes I realize my music taste is a little off the beaten path. What are some of your favorites?
Far too many to list and all dependent on my mood BUT songs that always get me singing:
Maggie May by Rod Stewart (total time travel back to high school). Silver Springs by Stevie Nicks. And anything at all by Crosby, Stills and Nash. And Young.
Those are some great classics that I know and like as well.
1. All songs from the movie Sound of Music!
2. ‘The sound of silence…’ from The Graduate.
3. Lara’s theme from Dr Zhivago.
All excellent choices. I like those too.
I’ve got the pistols, so I’ll keep the pesos.
Yeah, that seems fair 🙂
(I was just singing that the other day, great list!)
LOL I’m glad someone else remembers that song!
You could look deep into my eyes like I was a supermodel.
Uh-huh….
(plays guitar here)
celebrate the diversity.
Something I’ve often tried to work out and always failed miserably!
It wasn’t easy. I could have easily listed 20
Dear Phil
I am afraid that my song collection is not match yours…… I am too much pop culture kind of person…… and metal
There’s nothing wrong with that. We all have our own taste. Whatever you like is good. What are some of your favorites?
Carry on my wayward son- Kansas
Roxie Hart monologue – Chicago
Misty Mountain – The Hobbit
Don’t rain on my parade- Barbra Streisand
Poetry in motion – Johnny Tillotson
Well I can only remember these at the moment…. 😀
Interesting. I know some of them but not all.
Different people, Different tastes; I guess. 🙂
That’s what makes the world interesting. : )

Sorry, I will have to limit my comments to literature and not music. My music knowledge is deplorable. So on to literature- I am enjoying the 50 shades book 🙂
You obviously have excellent taste in literature! And thank you again : )
