What are some of your favorite songs?

[BagOfEyebrows]

you're only the 2nd person I've ever known to know about Uncle Bonsai - a good friend of mine/coworker, in Cape Cod, had me listen to a bunch of cassette tapes a few years ago, and Uncle Bonsai a few of them.  The ones with Chubby Want a Sundae and Boys Want Sex in the Morning (the two song titles that stuck to my head.)

She liked this other band, that I can't recall the name of, just two guys, sorta folksy/bluesy and one of the cassette cover had them near a garage with motorcycles or something.  She was the only person I'd known to have read and really liked the book Geek Love - I waited years of my life to find someone I knew who had read it so we could talk about it. 

Just a little ramble, brought on by your Uncle Bonsai mention - 

I pretty much like all music, but some of my favorite songs are:

U2 - Red Hill Mining Town
Til Tuesday - Coming up Close
Kate Bush - All We Ever Look For, Little Earth, And Dream of Sheep
Collective Soul - Needs
Lifehouse - Broken, Take Me Away
Taste Of Honey - Boogie Oogie Oogie
Hanson - Mmmbop
Thelma Houston - Don't Leave Me This Way
Michael Jackson - Someone in the Dark
Mindless Self Indulgence - Kill the Rock, Panty Shot
Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames - The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde
Evergrey - Darkest Hour


When I looked at a few lists folks posted, I think most of you were the ones, like me, who had this happen... when I was a teenager and accidently left a homemade mixed cassette tape of songs in anyone's car, they'd know it was my cassette because of all of the different types of music on it.  "You're the only one I know of who would make a tape with Frank Sinatra's New York New York followed by Somewhere over the Rainbow from the album soundtrack, with a fixed skip included, and then one of the shittiest songs Metallica ever did (fade to black ... I like that song), and then Donna Summers."

No Rain, Blind Melon
Bohemian Rapsody, Queen
American Pie, Don Mclean
Ain't Misbehaving, sung by Leon Redbone
Ode to Joy, Beethoven
O Fortuna, Carl Orff
I got plenty o' nuttin, George Gershwin
59th Street Bridge Song, Simon and Garfunkle
Penis Envy, Uncle Bonsai
Mining for Gold, Cowboy Junkies
Stormy Weather, Lena Horne

I'd like to thank Lloyd Danforth for trapping me into one of the inner circles of hell with the whole West Side Story thing that I can't get out of my head now.

One of my favorites is by Peter Gabrial.
During one of my most difficult times, a voice so soft (from the NH underground) said to me, "Don't give up."
Today during another very difficult time, I found another version of that song.
Long hair or none at all, I love the women who can sing this song:

That's also one of my favorites; I particularly like the Kate Bush version. John, I hope all is well with you, your home awaits . . .

Ganja Babe: Nice. "Organjic;" very clever. Sweet avatar, too.

Thanks. I'll be fine. ... I just wish I had a guitar with me - but I left them at Home. 
You may have overheard me quietly working on this one (Fire and Rain.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnHzHXTsHEM&feature=related
I'll be Home soon.

I have, very sweet! Nice talking with you this afternoon; no worries, the fire's roaring in the stove, and the cat's keeping the ghost at bay.

I never heard that song before; it's nice.

Keep your chin up, John.

Everything I need to know, I learned from Charlie's Angels

Keep your chin up, John.   

Thanks! Will do.

Soulshine is a great song.

I took this album to my 8th grade rec night. Less than rave reviews. Sweet Leaf was my favorite song on the album.
SWEET LEAF - BLACK SABBATH FROM THE MASTER OF REALITY ALBUM
