Cardigans "Loveslave" or whatever that one song is, you know the one.
Pursuit of Happiness "I'm an Adult Now"
Depeche Mode "Personal Jesus" (by the way, I hate this band more than any other)
Steppenwolf "Magic Carpet Ride" the full album version has some freaky guitar / effects work
Dave Brubeck "Take 5"
Skee-Lo "I Wish"
Kim Carnes "Betty Davis Eyes"
Eric Clapton "Wonderful Tonight"

BRW,

I'm Going out on a limb here, but Let The Eagle Soar is the greatest song ever written by and then preformed live at a press conference by a sitting Attorney General ever.

What a tool! I hope he continues to lose elections to dead guys.

Bob

Whoever sings "the boys are back in town"

"Fell in love with a girl" was a cool song, but White Stripes blow manatees.

Fuck and run - liz phair

goin blind - kiss

and my all time favorite:

Everybody in the club gettin tipsy!

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

J-KWON!
chingy sings that "nuthin' chillin' at da holidae inn" song.

That would be Thin Lizzy. As perhaps the finest hard rock band of the 1970's, they have no place in this thread. They have at least five full albums worth of material that rival any of their heavy hitting brethren. I'll take Lizzy over Zeppelin, Queen, Alice, even Humble Pie!--just about anybody except maybe Sabbath, AC/DC, and Skynyrd.

"doot doot" by freur

"dance hall days" uh, wang chung

i believe i just had a breakthrough.
thanks.

Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP called simply Whitney Houston had four number-one singles on it? Did you know that? Whitney's voice leaps across so many boundaries and is so versatile-though she's mainly a jazz singer-that it's hard to take in the album on a first listening.

I am of the opinion that no one has so far taken this thread seriously. How can you, for instance, submit a song by a band you don't know? You might LOVE the rest of their catalog, but you have no idea do you?

That said, I am submitting Clocks by Coldplay. These guys repulse me normally, but there's some obnoxiously catchy stuff in this song.

There is also a lot of dance music that fits into this category but I don't care enough to think about any of it.

Do you like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83,I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
