5 songs that better be on your iPod or your iPod is crrrap - the thread

In no order;
1. The Rolling Stones - Hide Your Love
^ Everything that blues-rock has over any other genre is within this song.

2. Electronic - Getting Away With It
^ Electronic's (made from bits of New Order, the Smiths, Kraftwerk and the Pet Shop Boys) first and easily best single. Sheer pop perfection.

3. Burning Spear - Tradition
^ For reasons something like the Stones song I've already mentioned, as in everything reggae has over all other music can be heard here.

4. The Future Sound Of London - Omnipresence
^ StanRAB as what people who say they hate 'techno' are missing out on.

5. The Flying Burrito Brothers - Hot Burrito #1
^ Ditto for 'country'.
 
I think I'm going to take this too literally but I'll give it a shot anyhow.

These songs better be on your iPod because you're probably on public transit, and you're going to need to do what it takes to get you out of your funk...

1. Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons (only because I'm assuming you don't speak German, and you'll want to sing along)

2. Grand Funk Railroad - American Band (strictly because this song has more Cowbell than Wisconsin)

3. Sam & Dave - Hold On! I'm coming! (because you can sing this one even if you don't speak English, and you can't not dance)

4. James Brown - My Thang (because there are barely worRAB, and it will teach you how to pick up women on the bus in the first 15 seconRAB of the song)

5. My Morning Jacket - Highly Suspicious (because at this point you might as well have a soundtrack to the weird stares you're getting while you continue your funky ass dance party.)
 
Bob Dylan- Subterranean Homesick Blues. You just need a Bob Dylan song on your mp3 player.
Pink Floyd- Let There Be More Light (screw it, the whole album). Psychedelia at it's finest.
Jeff Buckley- Morning Theft.
Radiohead- Paranoid Android. For that amazing mood changing song, with futuristic guitars and all that shizzam.
Talking HeaRAB- The Great Curve. For those beats.

quite obvious ones, really.
 
i don't have a single track from those listed and i'm quite happy about that :p:

in my view one's ipod is crap if it doesn't contain at least these

Amon Tobin - 4 ton mantis
^proof that downbeat electro jazz (or whatever people want to call it) can be heavy as hell

QOTSA - go with the flow
^current live versions obliterate the studio version but it's still a modern classic.

Jimi Hendrix - House Burning Down
^because if you have this one you likely have more and there's never enough Jimi.

Smashing Pumpkins - disarm
^for retrospective introspection

Radiohead - Exit (music for a film)
^for the outro
 
To be fair I push "The Glitterhouse" and "Monkey Banana Kitchen" on everyone ever. And the others are pretty common

I don't know why they have Falco though


also, Half a Person is probably one of the ****tiest Smiths songs ever,
like in the order of

1. Cemetry Gates
2. Boy With the Thorn in His Side
3. Half a Person
 
1. Kreator - Crisis Of Disorder

2. Satyricon - The Pentagram Burns
"Rise my friend - march to war!" Perfect song to listen when you're off to class.

3. Marduk - Imago Mortis

4. Marduk - Cloven Hoof

5. Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt
 
That Electronic song is one of my greatest musical disappointments, I expected it to be awesome because of it having two of my favorite musicians but it was utter crap I think

Five songs that better be on your whatever but you probably don't have anyway

1. Cold Wars - Family Fodder
2. Hungry, So Angry - Medium Medium
3. Der Kommisar - Falco
4. What Difference Does It Make? - The Smiths
5. Rudie Can't Fail - The Clash
 
Love - The Red Telephone
This song is fantastic, Love is one of those banRAB that is extremely overlooked.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Castles Made of Sand
Favorite Hendrix song. The tempo is amazing along with the trippy guitar work.
Led Zeppelin - Over the Hills and Far Away
What an incredible song a must have for anyone who appreciates music in the slightest!
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Nurab
Best Pink Floyd song.
Smashing Pumpkin - Mayonaise
One of the great things about songs is that they can be interpreted many ways. This songs lyrics are extremley vague and lets the listener relate to it in there own way. Because of this that's what makes this song amazing.
 
1) Rise Against - Give It All - when this comes on i just HAVE to (badly) sing every word, such great energy and power in it, even though it is not my favourite song by them...just get them all! ;D

2)Joe Satriani - Surfing With The Alien - just because you should. do i even need a reason?

3) Alkaline Trio - Radio - In fact, everything by them, especially the albums Maybe I'll Catch Fire and From Here To Infirmary.

4) Bellowhead - Bruton Town - because it is totally folking great.

5) In Flames - Brush The Dust Away - cos i couldn't have a list without something metal!
 
Basically what jackhammer said, the historybehind it is just fascinating and the music is so passionate. I love Os Mutantes, Gilberto Gil and basically all the Tropicalia artists.
