Like, new song? Old song? On the radio? In your head? Are you looking for recommendations?
Nickleback, “Gotta be you”. Love that song.
@ trumi: just the best song you’ve heard recently, that’s it—new, old, on the radio, whatever.
I really like
M.I.A Paper Planes from the Pineapple Express commercial.
The theme song to the show “Saving Grace”
what is that song?!? I love it….
I’m currently listening to Superstition by Blanche. Not usually my kind of music, but I love it.
“If we can’t trust the doctors, and all our prayers have fallen flat…”
charmer, by kings of leon
That song on the ipod commercial. Something about doing handstands…
Pogo by Digitalism. I’m not even that into DJ/electronic stuff but everytime I listen to this it gets me pumped and happy.
The ‘Friday Night Lights’ Theme song, I don’t know the name unfortuantely.
Closely followed by “Kraak And Smaak – Squeeze Me”.
asmonet’s answer reminds me of Don’t Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult that has just kind of stuck with me.
Cartel – I Will Hide Myself Away .. very catchy.. and relaxing while i do my homework
Haha didn’t wanna go with their big hit, figured I’d go with something else, that was still really easy to digest and maybe grab a few new fans. :)
Hungry Like the Wolf.
Also, This is Halloween and the rest of that soundtrack.
I like the new one by Kid Rock All Summer Long
A Better Place, a Better Time by Streetlight Manifesto. I’ve become more than a little obsessed and I want to make a music video for it, :)
When the President Talks to God by Bright Eyes
@Likeradar my bf loves that song.. its too slow for me.. but it has good lyrics
The National- Mr. November. It’s older but I love that song.
@melly – IMO, all Bright Eyes songs have good lyrics. Conor Oberst is a genius.
-Walking on a Dream by Empire of the Sun
-Electric Feel by MGMT
-Ottoman by Vampire Weekend
love my way-Psychadelic Furs
Move over- Janis Joplin
The river knows- The Doors
The Rose. I can’t hear it without tears filling my eyes.
I just listened to a Jenny Scheinman album and loved all of it.
Dont Trust Me – 3OH!3
Hot n Cold – Katy Perry
Disclaimer: Both potential earworms…
@goldie: have you seen the music video for hot n cold? If you haven’t, you should. It’s hilarious.
I have seen it ~ very clever. I like the giant hot dog. ;-p
Yeah, poor guy. I bet he gets knocked over by commitment-phobic grooms all the time. :)
Infinity 2008 (Klass Remix) – Guru Josh Project
The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead – Crash Test Dummies
Sentient – nal1200 (from Newgrounds, he’s made some awesome tunes)
That’s it I guess, sorry about the lack of links hmm.
@jsc: If you like MIKA, and have a chance to see him live. Do it, he jumps around on instruments and puts on a damn good show.
@jessturtle23: that’s definitely my favorite song. you win big.
@shrubbery: Walking on a Dream is fantastic. You also win big.
I’d have to say “We are the people” by Empire of the Sun. Or “Felix and the Mural” by Post-Foetus.
@asmonet I love Mika! His entire latest album was so great! I’d love to see him live if I ever have the chance.
Sloane, I love Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World. Love it.
The best one I’ve heard lately is So What by Pink. She writes very insightful lyrics, and that girl can sing and then some!!
It’s Never That Easy Though, Is It – Los Campesinos
@Celtics – I have a most excellent dance to that song.

I just heard a song today by an artist who I had never heard of before and it really impressed me: “The Guy Who Says Goodbye to You,” by Griffin House.
“Black & Gold” by Sam Sparrow is my absolute favourite song at the moment. And I usually don’t have absolute favourite songs that I obsess over.
I haven’t even listened to any of Sparrow’s other stuff yet. =P
Chroma: Xeroxing never looked so sexy.
@tinyfaery the iPod commercial song is called Bruises by Chairlift.
And it is an awesome song.
Right now I’m listening to the first EP produced by the band Ragni. It’s mostly instrumental, very minor with classical sounding roots, and it’s really helping me concentrate on my work. I recommend it!
anything and everything by daughtry..i just love that voice.
Hot & Cold / Katy Perry
I’m Yours / Jason Mraz
How Six Songs Collide by Norwegian Recycling sounds so incredible. It’s the combination of six songs together:
1. Jason Mraz – I’m Yours
2. Howie Day – Collide
3. Five For Fighting – Superman
4. Angela Ammons – Always Getting Over You
5. Boyzone – All That I Need
6. 3 Doors Down – Here Without You
chromaBYTE, I also especially love 8 become 1 by Norwegian Recycling. Awesome stuff.
@chroma- Wow, that is wicked!

I can’t get that Kid Rock song about singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long out of my head
Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa by Vampire Weekend
Hearts on Fire by Cut Copy
Ice Cream by New Young Pony Club
It’s been an indie/dance-y kind of year.
New song: the one by Amy McDonald that says “where are you gonna sleep tonight?”. I know it’s already growing old, but I’ve just been listening to it recently. Catchy tune. And great production overall on that album.

this is embarassing. the new song by all american rejects, gives you hell. its pretty catchy.
Every single track of the new Sick Puppies’ CD Tri-Polar is just insane!! Have been listening to it 2 weeks now, nonstop!
Rise Against’s Savior (and pretty much anything Rise Against) and also Metric’s Help, I’m Alive, which I started hearing at the most inopportune time: it was the week of Torchwood: CoE and it reminds me of um…something. (It’s hugely spoilerific.) Makes me sooo sad. And also slightly hopeful. Just thinking, it could also resemble Jack, couldn’t it?
Ring of Fire by Adam Lambert
it is on auto repeat in my head for two months. I can’t find the off button anywhere!
It blocks out the voices in my head! so it might be a good thing! LOL
