No matter how much I might enjoy a certain band or singer, an album or even just a single song, there’s only so many times I can hear it. Sooner or later, I just get listened out. I need a break.
And yet there are a handful of songs I never seem to get tired of hearing. Sure, any tune can get old … eventually … but below are ten songs, in no particular order, that I seem to listen to no matter what.
This not an exhaustive list, but a good place to start:
* Driving Blue Cars (acoustic version) — Dishwalla
* Two of Us — The Beatles
* Easy Money — Billy Joel
* Walking on Sunshine — Katrina and the Waves
* Hazy Shade of Winter — Bangles’ version
* Twilight Zone — Golden Earing
* Walk On — U2
* Losing My Mind — Daughtry
* Hey Hey What Can I Do? — Led Zeppelin
* Levon — Elton John
So now that I’ve shared my list … what’s on yours?
Just ten songs? That’s a real challenge. I could revise this list forever, but here’s ten for me:
Solsbury Hill – Peter Gabriel
Science and Honor – The Phenomenauts
New Frontier – Donald Fagen
Octopus’s Garden – The Beatles
Gotta Make It So – Warp 11
Enjoy Yourself (It’s Later Than You Think) – Guy Lombardo
Beautiful World – Devo
Birdhouse in Your Soul – They Might Be Giants
She Blinded Me with Science – Thomas Dolby
Burnin’ For You – Blue Öyster Cult
Solsbury Hill could very easily be on my list.
I’m not even saying those are my only ten. I just started with ten. I’ll probably work up a new list soon.
But Solsbury Hill is a big yes.
Tough, and there are certainly more, but here are 10 in no particular order.
In My Life – The Beatles
Whatsername – Green Day
Miracle – Foo Fighters
Breed – Nirvana
The Girl From Ipanema (Astrud Gilberto & Stan Getz)
Into the Mystic – Van Morrison
Linus and Lucy – Vince Guaraldi
Breathe – Pink Floyd
Fall on Me – R.E.M.
Missing – Everything But The Girl
