@KatetheGreat I can’t listen to The Fox, the Crow, and the Cookie without spontaneously singing along. I can’t not sing that song. It’s like an automatic response. Oh, and I love Astronaut by Amanda Palmer as well.
Oh, and I should have added Surrender by Cheap Trick to my list… oh well. Too many good songs!
@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard That’s the way I am with every song on my list. Thinking back, I should have added Carmina Burana by Carl Orff to my list. I enjoy singing along to that. ;)
There are way too many good songs. Music is just too much fun.
1) Radiohead – Paranoid Android
2) Modest Mouse – Ocean Breathes Salty
3) Beatles – While My Guitar Gently Weeps
4) Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks – Baltimore
5) Beck – Orphans
6) Radiohead – 15 Step
7) Spoon – The Underdog
8) The Zutons – Pressure Point
9) My Morning Jacket – One Big Holiday
10) Interpol – The New
11) LCD Soundsystem – Dance Yrself Clean
12) TV on the Radio – Dancing Choose
13) The Flashbulb – Autumn Insomnia Session
14) Modest Mouse – Missed the Boat
15) Justice – Phantom
16) Feed Me – Mordez Moi
17) Noisia – Sunhammer (Ft. Amon Tobin)
18) Amon Tobin – The Killer’s Vanilla
19) White Rabbits – Percussion Gun
20) Joy Division – Shadowplay
Really, this is just a “most played list”, but whatever. I certainly go through phases.
@KatetheGreat is your older brother in a Hungarian gypsy-punk band?
