#### ### "100 Songs I Never Get Sick of Hearing" ###
####### by Phairgirl
####
You know what I'm talking about. It's the kind of song that no
matter when you hear it, you have the urge to sing along at the top of your
lungs, turn the radio up farther than you should, and dance around (or bop
around in your car like a freak). They cause people to look at you like
you're on drugs, and they cause you to have a spazz attack if anyone tries
to turn it off. It's one of those songs that you swear you will never, ever
get sick of hearing.
VH1 expects people to narrow it down to three. I had a difficult
time, but I narrowed it down to 100. I know I must have forgot some that
would knock some others off the list, but this was a spur-of-the-moment
compilation. Anyway... Here they are, in NO PARTICULAR ORDER, because
ordering them somehow would be futile:
1. Thin Lizzy: The Cowboy Song
Lyric sample: "Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Running free with the buffalo"
Thin Lizzy is so damn underappreciated. They were cool in many ways,
such as being a hard rock band with a black lead singer and being the first
to use double lead guitars. Originally, I had this song and "Jailbreak" on
the list, but in the end, "The Cowboy Song" gets me more excited. The main
riff is catchy as hell. It's easy to overlook it as a classic rock radio
staple to play between Zeppelin and the Stones or what not. Ahhh well. If
nothing else, I of all people won't overlook Thin Lizzy.
2. The Who: Baba O Riley
Lyric sample: "Don't cry,
Don't raise your eye,
It's only teenage wasteland."
I played this song for my sister yesterday, and she told me she had
never heard it before. It made me want to cry. First off, the intro was
used for A Bug's Life or Antz or one of those movies, so I was ecstatic to
hear it on commercials all the time. Second off, I figured most angsty kids
would know the ending chorus of "TEENAGE WASTELAAAAND," which certainly made
ME smile back in the day. But alas.
3. The Kinks: Lola
Lyric Sample: "Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man
Oh Lola, Lo-lo-lo-lo-Lola"
I find myself singing this song all the time. Kiddies, if you don't
recognize it, Weird Al did a parody of it called "Yoda." It's the first
mainstream song to address transvestitism. It's cute and addictive, and
when I type out the lyrics to it mindlessly at work, people walking by read
them and think that I am insane. Or maybe just a transvestite, I don't
know.
4. Aaliyah: Are You That Somebody
Lyric sample: "Is it my go, is it your go
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm naughty naughty"
This song is easily recognized by its cute little baby gurgle loop
and from being featured in the film _Dr. Doolittle_. Most people turn to me
and say, hey, you don't like R&B. That's right, I don't, except I have all
of Aaliyah's CDs. And this song didn't sound like everything else that was
out at the time (however it has been heavily copied since). I don't think
Aaliyah gets credited with being the most frequently ripped off innovator in
R&B music. Shoot everyone else, this song rules.
5. Tool: Eulogy
Lyric sample: "He had a lot to say.
He had a lot of nothing to say.
We'll miss him."
I had been told that this song was written for Kurt Cobain. Knowing
that, I wanted to totally hate the song, because I have this problem with
people exploiting the deaths of others for their own personal profit,
especially someone so selfish that they thought their life was so terrible
that they had to kill themselves and leave their baby without a dad.
ANYWAY. This is my favorite Tool song. It kicks ass. It makes you want to
MOSH. SLAM DANCE. BE ANGRY AND PUNCH PEOPLE. Hooray!
6. Dario G: Sunchyme
Lyric sample: "Hey ma ma ma ma"
I was pretty upset when I heard this song recently used as an
advertisement for Claritin or Allegra or some other allergy medication. The
song is pretty much just a loop of "Life in a Northern Town," which is a
great song in its own right. However, something about this cover/remake/
whatever just makes you want to look up in the sky, smile at the sun, and
say, yeah, everything is going to be alright forever and ever.
7. Led Zeppelin: Kashmir
Lyric sample: "Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear"
Oh come now. How can you NOT fall in love with that wonderfully
haunting bowed guitar technique? The song is mystical and magical, much
like Kashmir itself. This song takes you places. It will get glued in your
head for years on end. It's wonderful to listen to looped 8 times in a row
on a bus ride before finally skipping ahead to the next song. Yum.
8. Blind Melon: Galaxie
Lyric sample: "can i do the things i wanna do
that i don't do because of you
and i'll take a left then i'll second guess into a total
mess"
Look, more dead people! Actually, I hated Blind Melon for years,
because I only had their first album and IT SUCKED. However, one of my dear
friends (thank you Kip) introduced me to the album _Soup_ and forced me to
listen to it endlessly... and now it's easily one of my favorite albums
ever. "Galaxie" has all kinds of weird rhythm changes and odd harmonies and
hippie fun. It's utterly disturbing. I could listen to it all day.
9. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Into the Great Wide Open
Lyric sample: "Eddie waited til he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open"
Kind of a cheesy story-song about a guy who gets all famous and then
gets non-famous, with a kickass video featuring Johnny Depp, this song can't
lose. It has the distinction of sounding like very little else, which
either makes it ROCK or SUCK. This song rocks. The whole song fills you
with this kind of... pity... and makes you feel good about your sucky life.
It puts me in a weird trance.
10. Chroma Key: Blanket
Lyric sample: "Close your eyes,
think of the Best Thing To Say.
iampathetically lost
and maybe you made me this way."
I'm not good at narrowing down Chroma Key songs that I adore.
However, as people have pointed out to me (Tanya), I am apeshit over this
song. At one point, I DEMANDED that people listen to it. It's probably the
most disturbing song I own, with the exception of other Chroma Key songs.
It's a strange hybrid of guitar and MESS. It's just a mess. It's noisy and
chaotic and depressing and beautiful. It's also easily one of my favorite
songs of all time. I could never, EVER get sick of this song, I don't care
if I had to hear it on repeat sped up 3x speed for 8 years straight.
11. Phil Collins: In The Air Tonight
Lyric sample: "But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you
don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me"
For a while, every time I was in the car with my friend Steve, no
matter whose car it was, this song never failed to come on, and we never
failed to crank it up and sing along. It's one seriously fucked up song.
How it ever got popular is beyond me, but it's trippy and amazing. I don't
care how lame Phil Collins is, this song rocks.
12. Def Leppard: Pour Some Sugar On Me
Lyric sample: "You got the peaches, I got the cream
Sweet to taste saccharine
'Cos I'm hot, so hot, sticky sweet
From my head, my head to my feet"
I remember buying this CD at Wal-Mart many moons ago and playing it
at full volume from my friends' car stereo while cruising around town at
about 5:30am screaming the lyrics. I've heard this song more times than
I've probably ever heard my NAME. And I still don't know half the words or
what the hell that song is supposed to mean. Songs like that are only
classics.
13. Soundgarden: Outshined
Lyric sample: "I just looked in the mirror, things aren't looking so good
I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota"
The Impenetrable Riff From Hell. Honestly, what other riff was ever
so heavy and catchy and incredible all at once AND WRITTEN IN 7/4?!? I
swear, if this song should ever get overlooked as one of the greatest
mainstream songs with fantastic composition, I will have to run around
gatting people down. It gives me the butterflies.
14. Alice in Chains: Man in the Box
Lyric sample: "Feed my eyes, can we sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who cries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes, now we've sewn them shut"
Well, it's good to hear that Layne Staley isn't shooting heroin into
his hands and feet anymore. But, then again, if heroin was what wrote "Man
in the Box," well all I have to say is, want a syringe? But seriously, this
song rocks all. It had a scaryass video. It represented the side of
Seattle that didn't sit around sipping mocha lattes. It killed hair metal
for good. It's ear gold.
15. Crosby Stills and Nash: Southern Cross
Lyric sample: "So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a dyin'
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver
chain
I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin'
She is all that I have left and music is her name"
I'm not sure how to describe how good this song is except for to say,
yeah, look at the geniuses that wrote it. It's another one of those songs
that is sickeningly catchy but without being froofroo-ey pop crap. It's
just a DAMN GOOD SONG. Listen to it many times.
16. Danzig: Cantspeak
Lyric sample: "can't think
can't dream
don't care if i live or die"
This song is so damn real. The lyrics are truth. The music matches
emotions. Put it all together and you get a haunting look of what it means
to honestly, seriously contemplate suicide. Not any of this whiney teenager
my-life-sucks angsty bullshit here--this is brutal, hard stuff. But the
best part is, it's a GOOD SONG that warrants many, many listens.
17. White Zombie: Thunderkiss '65
Lyric sample: "well sweet little sista's high in hell cheat'n on a halo
grind in a odyssey holocaust heart kick on tomorrow"
Wow, a metal song that you can dance to. I personally find White
Zombie to be one of the killers of hair metal bands without replacing it
with whiney angst. Rob Zombie is just a scary looking guy. He writes some
abominably catchy tunes that make you forget Grandma is in the room and you
shouldn't be mumbling those words around her or she'll have a stroke. This
song makes me want to grind it up with a razor and snort it up my nose.
18. U2: With Or Without You
Lyric sample: "My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose"
I hated this damn song for ages and ages. And then, one day, I was
just kinda like, yeah... brilliant. Brilliant fucking song. I know this
one rates very high on a lot of people's lists for greatest songs ever, and
rightfully so. Bono's being a whiney bitch aside, there is much room for
love and respect of a song this amazing.
19. Dream Theater: Lie
Lyric sample: "I had gotten used to being a soul destroyed
She comes in apparently to fill the void
All dogs need a leash and at least I'll forget it
She would never hurt me though she's never said it"
For everyone who has ever been blatantly lied to in a relationship...
this song will make you feel vindicated. People suck. Just, plain, out and
out, PEOPLE FUCKING SUCK. And even though a goodly chunk of the _Awake_
album takes that theme to extremes, not many of the songs will stay with you
and make you head straight for it like "Lie." Forgive their music videos,
they no not what they do, but marry this song. MARRY IT.
20. K's Choice: Not An Addict
Lyric sample: "We're so creative, so much more
We're high above but on the floor"
I remember the first time I heard this song, and how it took me over
a month to find out who it was. And I remember hanging around with a chick
who ingested every drug imaginable on a regular basis and how she screamed
that this was HER SONG. Ahhh, amusement. But still, I adored the song.
And the girl and I would sing it at the tops of our lungs and lay out in the
parking lot outside of work and just talk and be happy. I could listen to
it a thousand more times.
21. Stabbing Westward: Shame
Lyric sample: "I pray for someone to ache for me the way I ache for you
If you ignore that I'm alive I have nothing to cling to"
First off, it was hard to narrow down a particular Stabbing Westward
song that I could never get sick of hearing, because usually I'd just grab a
CD and listen to it nonstop until I got sick of it. But then I realized, I
was always super happy to hear "Shame." And the video kicked so much ass,
and there's quiet and ANGST and depression and elation and loud and soft and
guitar and techno. It's got it all.
22. Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here
Lyric sample: "How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year"
Oooh, this is one of my all-time favorite songs. It brings back many
memories all over the place. It's the trademark Pink Floyd airy lofty
trippiness combined with a harsh realism that takes the Floydian staple to a
new level. Actually, the whole album played straight through could be
defined as something I would never get sick of hearing, but that's mostly so
that I can hear this song.
23. Drivin N Cryin: Fly Me Courageous
Lyric sample: "Murder America is brandishing her weapons
She keeps me safe and warm by threats and misconceptions"
Hmmm. This song just rocks. It has a driving, kickass beat. I
don't know, I very rarely get to hear this song, since I seem to keep losing
it on eBay all the time. I don't remember how I first fell in love with
this song, I was a freshman in high school and all, but this Hot Guy named
Mark really liked Drivin N Cryin, so it only made me more interested in the
band. I have no idea where Mark is today, but if he's out there, maybe
he'll send me his DNC disc. Yeah, sure.
24. INXS: Need You Tonight
Lyric sample: "So slide over here and give me a moment
Your moves are so raw, I've got to let you know"
Drool, man, Michael Hutchence was such a mad hottie before he died.
Wow, this list certainly is overtaken by the dead, so it seems. But all
corpses aside, I don't think it's humanly possible for me to listen to this
song any lower than eardrum rupture level. It's so damn sexy without
getting trashy (okay, it gets trashy, I don't care). Hutchence purrs like a
kitten. The music is unlike anything else, and everyone knows the song.
Rock.
25. Eurythmics: Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
Lyric sample: "Some of them want to use you,
Some of them want to get used by you,
Some of them want to abuse you,
Some of them want to be abused."
You know, there aren't many lyrics to this song at all, and Marilyn
Manson ruined the song entirely. But the original song is downright
frightening and wonderful and kept me transfixed when I was a kid. What,
maybe twelve people in this world don't think this song kicks ass. It's
badass.
26. Gary Numan: Cars
Lyric sample: "Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars"
I've mentioned several times that I would give up everything from the
1980s as long as I could have this song playing constantly for the rest of
eternity. Gary Numan was like the wussiest and scariest guy on MTV back in
the day. The melody is so damn haunting and beautiful and synthed to the
max. This song would be in the top 5 if I put these in some kind of order.
Long live cars.
27. Siouxsie and the Banshees: Peek-A-Boo
Lyric sample: "Strobe lights pump and flicker
Dry lips crack out for more
`Come bite on this rag doll, baby!
That's right, now hit the floor'"
Holy crap, Siouxsie Sioux scared the living CRAP out of me as a kid,
but for some reason, I felt the need to keep listening to this song and
singing it nonstop and driving myself insane. So years later, when
stumbling aimlessly around a record store and finding their singles
collection, I had to pick it up. What resulted was forcing everyone I know
to listen to this song at extremely high levels in extremely large doses.
Jeepers creepers!
28. Foo Fighters: Everlong
Lyric sample: "And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever be this real forever
If everything will ever be this good again"
There is a superfantastic driving beat in this song that makes it
feel like it's a lot shorter than it really is. I honestly cannot say how
many times I've listened to this song, the count is insane (it's even better
to just play the song before it, "February Stars," and "Everlong"
continuously on loop for hours on end, try it!) and just talking about it
makes me want to hear it RIGHT NOW.
29. Lita Ford and Ozzy Osbourne: Close My Eyes Forever
Lyric sample: "I know I've been so hard on you
I know I've told you lies
If I could have just one more wish
I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes"
What is it about people from the 80s that always scared me so much?
I think it was the drugs. Definitely, it HAD to be. I loved this song SO
MUCH, but Ozzy scared the crap out of me. Granted, Ozzy's pretty good at
being intentionally scary as hell, but paired up with Lita Ford, he just
seemed all the scarier. But wow, this song is still fabulous for so many
reasons and proves that no matter how drunk and stoned you are, you can
still make an incredible song.
30. Nine Inch Nails: Physical
Lyric sample: "I want you hard in my arms
So soft on my bed
You get the keys to my heart
When you wear that sweet dress"
Before I get too detailed, I'll mention that I love Adam and the
Ants, and yes I know this is a cover song. But honestly, it's probably one
of my favorite cover songs of all time, because Trent Reznor brings that
evil S&M element into it and turns it upside down. I would also venture to
say it's my favorite NIN song, which is funny, being that it's a cover tune,
and track 98 at that. Ahhh well. It rules!
31. Garbage: #1 Crush
Lyric sample: "I would die for you
I would die for you
I would sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you"
This song can not be truly appreciated until played in a heavily
macked-out automobile with a million and one speakers in it, at least two of
those being HARD DRIVEN SUBS. Wow. Shirley Manson sounds like such a
whore, I envy her. She's one of the three girls that I would want to have
sex with if I was a lesbian. This song is amazing. Why couldn't their
second album be this cool?
32. Liz Phair: Stratford-On-Guy
Lyric sample: "There's an ad on my headphones
And along with those eyes
That you get when your circumstance is movie-size"
This song is such a cacophany of beauty and magic and observance of
life in what is going on around you, only comparable to Suzanne Vega's
"Tom's Diner" in terms of scope and introspection. It's eerie and
uncomfortable to listen to and to comprehend until it clicks, and once it
clicks, you can't get enough of it.
33. Van Halen: Dreams
Lyric sample: "So baby dry your eyes, save all the tears you've cried
Ohh that's what dreams are made of"
Maybe I'm just a sucker for a catchy tune, I don't know. All I do
know is that I've loved this song for years and even with all of its sappy
silliness, it's a great listen. I remember when a live version was re-
released, and once again this song crept back into my brain and hasn't left
since.
34. Sophie B. Hawkins: Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover
Lyric sample: "Give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through heaven's door,
I'm sure we don't need no doctor to feel much better"
This song is sooo incredibly sexy and beautiful and fun. Once, long
ago, a friend of mine went into rather graphic details interpreting the
lyrics, and I think it scarred me for life. Nonetheless, listening to this
song is like knocking back three shooters and heading for the dance floor.
Nothing like a song that makes you want to get all sweaty.
35. Heart: Barracuda
Lyric sample: "If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn it out to the wick
Aren't you, Barracuda?"
Badass chicks from the '70s. Really, how can you not appreciate
that? Heart rocked HARD, dude. And this song is like crack, especially
when you're feeling particularly angsty and vindictive. Oh, and need I
mention twice, the Wilson sisters ROCK HARD?
36. Joan Jett: I Love Rock N Roll
Lyric sample: "He smiled so I got up and asked for his name
That don't matter he said 'Cause it's all the same"
This was my very very first favorite song, back when I wasn't even
old enough for school. I suppose it predicted my future, as I now own
enough CDs to build a small house out of jewel cases. Joan Jett is a
MILLION times cooler than Courtney Love will ever hope to be. Rock 'n'
roll, baby yeah!
37. Kansas: Dust in the Wind
Lyric sample: "Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see"
Okay, so it's REALLY cliche to say "Oh, Kansas is rad! I really like
"Dust in the Wind!" I once roomed with a girl like that, the kind that only
liked Pink Floyd for _The Wall_. But besides all of that, the song is
pretty and intricate, and my brother certainly finds it easy to turn on and
listen to on REPEAT when he's sleeping at night. A lesson to insomniacs
everywhere.
38. Jethro Tull: Hymn 43
Lyric sample: "And the unsung Western hero killed an Indian or three
and made his name in Hollywood to set the white man free.
Oh Jesus save me!"
Jethro Tull was one of those bands that I thought I hated, but then
one day I realized that all these cool songs that I knew but didn't know the
artists were all made by... Jethro Tull. I took a severe liking to this
song and I'm not sure why, maybe just because I don't hear it as much as I
hear Locomotive Breath.
39. Electric Light Orchestra: Don't Bring Me Down
Lyric sample: "You're looking good, just like a snake in the grass
One of these days you're gonna break your glass"
I remember the DJ who swore I was on crack when I spent every night
for a week requesting this song. People at school thought I was on crack
when I would punctuate my statements with RRROOOUUSSSSSS. All in all, ELO
turned me into a crack addict. Thanks, ELO!
40. The Black Crowes: Sometimes Salvation
Lyric sample: "To lessen my troubles
I stopped hanging out with relatives
And empty saviours like you"
Every time I hear this song, I wish I was a sixty-year-old bluesman
in the depths of Chicago wailing my eyes out and feeling the pain that I'd
been done wrong. It's not just that of course, but I can't help looking
like a dork when I get really into this song and get all waving my arms
around Mariah Carey-style. Frightning, but a-okay.
41. James Gang: Funk #49
Lyric sample: "Uh, sleep all day, out all night,
I know where you're going.
I don't that's a-acting right,
You don't think it's showing."
This spot was battled between James Gang and that song "Black Betty"
by Ram Jam. I managed to get them both on one of the soundtracks to _That
'70s Show_. The best part about this song is, however, that it has the
ability to rarely piss off stoned people. And in my world, that's
essential.
42. Nazareth: Hair of the Dog
Lyric sample: "Heart breaker, soul shaker
I've been told about you"
Oooooh, a song that says "SON OF A BITCH!" This was by far one of my
favorite albums of my dad's when I was growing up. Plus, the song just
plain rocks out. It irritates me that Grand Funk's "We're an American Band"
has the exact same intro. And I don't care WHICH came first, chickens and
eggs be damned.
43. Elton John: Rocket Man
Lyric sample: "And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again
to find I'm not the man they think I am at home"
I wish that Elton John was, like, an outcasted family member of mine
or something. His music is very pretty, and this song in particular is
super-relaxing and poignant. There's not much out there these days that
match it. And I think it's gonna be a long long time before something does.
44. Tears for Fears: Shout
Lyric sample: "In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul"
Honestly, can ANYONE get sick of this song? I think it's illegal in
many countries to say, "Dude, turn off that damn 'Shout' song, it's just too
addictive and fun to sing along with!" Here's a commerical I made up when I
was little: Shout, shout, get your stains out. These are the spots I can do
without.
45. Anthrax: Black Lodge
Lyric sample: "I am a witness to your demise
I am the one who saw through the lies
My love has always been blind"
I have previously declared this song to have the Raddest Video of All
Time. It's spooky as hell. Anyway, I once met the rad editor of Infernal
Combustion e'zine by purchasing the CD single of this song from him on eBay.
So this of course means that this song rocks beyond that of any other mere
mortal. Oh, and did I mention it's PRETTY?
46. Tiffany: Promises Made
Lyric sample: "Your words of steel
Still echo in my memory
Promises made, promises broken"
Since I first made the list for this file, this song in particular
has had me incensed. I'm very PERTURBED that it's not on Tiffany's Greatest
Hits CD. I don't know, what can I say, I value that time in my life when I
could seriously value Tiffany as a viable singer (although her recent
collaboration with Front Line Assembly proves she IS viable). My goal is to
record a version of me singing this song and playing it on guitar. I just
need to learn guitar first.
47. L7: Everglade
Lyric sample: "He kept it up, his fists started flying
They dodged each punch, as he kept trying
Tripped on his own feet and hit the floor
Glade got to pushing and rolled him out the door"
A song about girls beating the fuck out of stupid rednecks. Oh come
on, that spells GOLD, baby. I spent so long trying to find an mp3 of this
song after years of suffering without it that I finally bought the CD. See,
Metallica, that's what mp3s are all about, to piss you off and make you buy
stuff.
48. The Greg Kihn Band: Jeopardy
Lyric sample: "It's the lightning, not the thunder
You never know where it's gonna strike
Our love's in jeopardy, baby, ooh"
Yet another song I adored when I was little... although that was
mostly because I liked the show "Jeopardy." But still, it inspired a Weird
Al parody, so there has to be something there worth recognizing. It's got
that funky breakdown. And not only do/did I adore it, Weird Al did too.
However, I will not mention how Billy Idol ripped of the video when he did
"White Wedding."
49. KLF: 3am Eternal
Lyric sample: "KLF, UH HUH, UH HUH"
During the search for lyrics to this song, I found out way more about
the KLF than I wanted to know. Anyway, I hated everything else they did.
Still, I can't get enough of this song, I have no idea why. So much out
there is better. I think they laced this song in particular with crack.
50. John Lennon: Instant Karma
Lyric sample: "Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone you meet"
A super happy hippie song! But it's not just that. It's one of
those songs that makes everyone sing along and feel happy and want to fight
for love and peace. And although I now hate everyone and everything, this
song keeps the silly dumb hippie in me alive. Bed-in for peace! We all
shine on, like the moon and the stars and the sun!
51. Deee-Lite: Groove Is In The Heart
Lyric sample: "DJ Soul is on a roll
I've been told he can't be sold
He's not vicious or malicious
Just Deee-lovely and Deee-licious"
Okay. There is a part in this song where they make that kickass
"BLBLBLBLBL" sound. Normally, this would not be accepted outside of a
children's album. NOT WITH DEEE-LITE! Plus, Lady Miss Kier had rad hair
and wore that sexy body suit. Oh, and let's not forget the dude from
PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC, BOOTSY COLLINS. Anyone from George Clinton's crew is
welcome in ANY song EVER MADE. Please take advantage of this!
52. Living Colour: Cult of Personality
Lyric sample: "I exploit you still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three
I'm the Cult of Personality"
Lookie! More black people! Actually, this song rocks out hard. I
still feel the need to damage my ears when I hear it. Plus, remember those
cool multicolored hair extensions that Corey Glover had? I bet they could
kick Rage Against the Machine's ass. Maybe Zach de la Rocha will get a
Jheri Curl, and they can battle.
53. M/A/R/R/S: Pump Up the Volume
Lyric sample: "Put the needle on the record
When the drumbeats go like this"
This was most certainly my first ever experience with real techno and
sampling and mixing and PHAT BEATS. And I quite obviously wasn't the only
one who loved it, since it was pretty damn popular. Oh, remember the freaky
lady that shrieks in some Bizarro-world chant? I miss M/A/R/R/S. I would
give them women.
54. Cheap Trick: The Flame
Lyric sample: "I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you.
I can't believe you're gone.
You were the first, you'll be the last."
I still remember how this was Cheap Trick's first ever #1 hit, which
is pretty sad for a shitty band that's been around since the Big Bang.
Nonetheless, this song deserved its #1. It was the first (and only)
LISTENABLE Cheap Trick song. And NO, I don't care WHAT you say, "I Want You
To Want Me" is NOT LISTENABLE. Kudos for at least one good song.
55. Chemical Brothers: Setting Sun
Lyric sample: "You're coming on strong and I like the way
The visions we had have faded away
You're part of a life I've never had
I'll tell you that it's just too bad"
The Chemical Brothers need more songs with coherent lyrics. I mean,
they do some nice mixing and what not, but still, not much can top this
song. It's so full of electricity, and it's not half as annoying as hearing
the phrase "BLOCK ROCKIN BEATS" 800 times in a song. However, I wish to
never see the video to this song again, as my sister spent a good year
trying to be the stupid blond raver chick's evil twin. Ugh.
56. Mike + The Mechanics: Silent Running
Lyric sample: "Don't believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I'm with the high command"
I think this song goes in the Scariest Videos of the '80s bucket. It
was just a scary song in general, it had a creepiness about it only rivaled
by Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." It still has that appeal for me,
however many years later it is now. Oh, and nevermind that it's a big anti-
establishment song. Who knew what could be hiding in the depths of Mike +
the Mechanics?
57. Motley Crue: Dr. Feelgood
Lyric sample: "Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand
Some people call him an evil man
Let him introduce himself real good
He's the only one they call Feelgood"
Rock out, bad boys. Up until this point in my life, I was listening
primarily to Bon Jovi. Motley Crue shocked my system, woke me up, and
taught me to be MORE METAL (as much as Motley Crue can). And, much like
"Ice Ice Baby," I still know all the words by heart. I wonder if I should
send them a medal or something to celebrate that fantastic achievement.
58. Alannah Myles: Black Velvet
Lyric sample: "A new religion that will bring ya to your knees
Black Velvet, if you please"
Not only was this song the very first song I ever did karaoke solo,
it was also one of the first tapes that I bought with my babysitting money.
However, I was saddened to note that this is the only good song Alannah
Myles ever sang. Ahh well. Either way, I want her voice. I know! We can
do a broadway production of Disney's "The Little Mermaid," and when I have
her voice, I can run away and NEVER COME BACK. HAHAHAHHA!
59. Limahl: Theme to The Neverending Story
Lyric sample: "Make believe I'm everywhere,
Given In The Lines,
Written on the pages,
Is the answer to a neverending story"
I suppose it's fair to note that I've seen this movie a gizillion
times, and would not hesitate to see it a gizillion more. I have yet to
read the book, but it's on my list. However, I did manage to acquire the
mp3 one day, so until I get the DVD, I can listen to this song in perpetual
bliss. And people will run away scared. Hooray!
60. Sinead O'Connor: Nothing Compares 2 U
Lyric sample: "It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away"
Ask Tanya sometime how much this song rules. Actually, it's quite
amusing, considering it's another one of those songs that I know completely
by heart and can't help but sing along with LOUDLY whenever it comes on the
radio. This is my next karaoke venture when I have the chance.
61. Morcheeba: Trigger Hippie
Lyric sample: "Tune in, drop out of love,
Pull the trigger, I'm a hippie,
So said a truth, in blood,
Alive and well,
You push the buttons"
Ohhhhh... I completely hated this song the first time I heard it. It
just bored the crap out of me. But a few years later, upon hearing it when
partially incoherent, I was all like, YEEEEAH! So now I'm totally hooked on
Morcheeba. This song is very laid back and full of trippiness without
venturing into the whole lounge-sound like Portishead does. It's smooth,
and not in a Santana kind of way.
62. David Bowie: Space Oddity
Lyric sample: "This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm feeling very scared
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way"
I would almost start crying when I heard this song when I was little!
I wonder how many other people were traumatized by this song as a child.
Anyway, tragedy is a fantastic element, and capitalizing on scary outer
space is fun and exciting, not to mention painting the government as callous
and only out for its own advancements. It works on so many levels.
63. Pearl Jam: Alive
Lyric sample: "While you were sitting home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin'
Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked"
Wow, Pearl Jam helped break music back in the early '90s by taking
all of the balls out of it. But they're forgiven just because they ruled.
This song is just plain tragic. It makes you want to bury your head in a
vat of Emily Dickinson poetry and sip mocha lattes all day. I'm not sure if
that's a good thing, but that doesn't make the song suck.
64. Chevelle: Mia
Lyric sample: "So - Why, I made the face that bugs you
I won't design conversation around you
I made the face that bugs you"
I was tricked upon first listen by thinking this was Tool, not just
because of the song itself but also because of the video. And then I felt
tricked again when I found out Chevelle was a CHRISTIAN band. But I decided
to let my prejudices subside, and lo and behold, CHEVELLE KICKS ASS. They
don't get SuperBible on your asses, and they make fantastic music. Plus,
this song is the name of one of my cats!
65. Pink Floyd: Comfortably Numb
Lyric sample: "Hello, is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?"
Wow. When you watch _The Wall_, the scene where this song plays is
quite possibly one of the saddest, most heart-wrenching scenes ever filmed.
And if nothing else, this song fits the film more than any of the others on
the soundtrack. But movies aside, there's that cool screaming part and a
venture into the void of a black human soul. Wheeee! What could be better?
66. Chroma Key: Colorblind
Lyric sample: "it's all white lines to me
but things are getting clearer
i can almost read the writing in the mirror"
I'm absolutely positive that this song contains some kind of hypnotic
subliminal something-or-another that sucks people in and never lets them
escape. It's entrancing and haunting, and it's free for the download at
chromakey.com--feel free to let it eat you alive. Anyway, this was my first
taste of what Kevin Moore has been doing since he left Dream Theater, and I
was surprised and astounded and instantly in love. Someday, I'm going to
stalk that man.
67. Ozzy Osbourne: No More Tears
Lyric sample: "I never wanted it to end this way my love my darling
Believe me when I say to you in love
I think I'm falling here"
Yet another song that I hated upon first listen. BUt that didn't
last long. Who could reject that asskickin bass groove, and the radass
guitar stylings of Zakk Wylde? Plus, Ozzy was sporting a new cleaned-up,
merchant of death look, and his hair improved much. Anyway, the song itself
has that hauntingly good thing going on. I seem to really get addicted to
the gloomy stuff.
68. Tesla: Song And Emotion
Lyric sample: "Then he starts to play.
Suddenly the pain slowly fades away.
Tattered, torn and frayed,
There's a place within his heart
He'll always save for the song and emotion."
Originally written about the death of Steve Clark of Def Leppard,
this song is sad and wonderful. The bonus is that this song actually proved
that Tesla had ability and talent, no matter how they were decried
otherwise. I really miss that whole "talent" thing in the music business.
It certainly isn't overrated.
69. Prince: When Doves Cry
Lyric sample: "You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase u
Even doves have pride"
By far and wide, this is Prince's best song. Even though in the past
few years he's gone completely insane and changed his name to Tafkap and
made some severely shitty music, he certainly had his day. This song is all
slutty and sexy and introspective and a million other things all rolled into
a fantastic loop and accompanied by a cheesy video. Is it politically
incorrect for me to say this song makes me want to FUCK LIKE A WILD RABBIT?
70. Queensryche: Anybody Listening?
Lyric sample: "Long ago there was a dream
Had to make a choice or two
Leaving all I loved behind
For what nobody knew"
Lately, every time I get in my car, one of the local rock stations
plays this song. It's also on the FIRST CD I EVER BOUGHT. I like the whole
existential vein of the lyrics and the laid-back, moody melody, and I like
the loud guitars that kick in. I believe that mix is what makes fantastic
songs. Britney Spears could learn a lot from older Queensryche stuff.
71. Depeche Mode: I Feel You
Lyric sample: "This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love"
Oh, wow. I know i've mentioned sexy sexy songs before, but I don't
think much outdoes THIS song. It's such a pimp whorehouse super-slut beat,
and oh my god, David Gahan on heroin in the video! He's pasty white with
long hair and an Evil Boy goatee! DROOL! But all of that aside, man, this
song pounds. It's a fuckfest waiting to happen.
72. Ratt: Round And Round
Lyric sample: "I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winning
I knew right from the start
You shot an arrow in my heart"
...Or something like that, you have no idea how hard it is to find
Ratt lyrics, and I'm too lazy to find the CD and listen to the song right
now.
I remember when I was quite young and would sneak to watch MTV since
my mom wouldn't let us. This song entered me into the realm of metal. In
fact, Ratt scared me, which is really funny looking back at what they wore.
But anyway, I don't quite get the allure of this song, or why I end up
singing it all the time, either. But I also don't get the special guests
in the video, so what do I know?
73. Bananarama: Venus
Lyric sample: "Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name"
More cover tunes! However, no self-respecting little girl in the
'80s would ever hate this song. My friend Kelly and I were obsessed with
it, and it was the VERY FIRST TAPE I EVER BOUGHT! If only the rest of the
songs were cooler. Ahhh well, that's what I get. Anyway, to this day, this
song incites riots in girls my age, unless they're dumb.
74. Aerosmith: Dream On
Lyric sample: "Half my life is books written pages
live and love from fools and from sages
You know it's true,
All these things come back to you"
Piano and sadness and everything that nobody would ever expect from
Aerosmith of all bands. I think I once read some tidbit about this being
their biggest hit ever at the point that it was released, which is as
amusing as a similar feat by Cheap Trick. However, another neat feature of
this song would be its incomprehensible lyrics. I've heard the song a
million times, but when I looked up the lyrics, I realized I'm a moron. You
gotta love that feeling.
75. Self: So Low
Lyric sample: "I'm so low that I wish I was dead
With a knife in my chest
And a bullet through my head"
WHO? Well, this song got somewhat popular at one point many years
ago. I think nowadays only me and Mogel still rave about how much this disc
rules, but that's okay. I heard they went rap/R&B, which is both sad and
scary. Nevertheless, this song rocks on many levels, even with white boy
pseudo-rapping. It's Beck and Weezer's bastard child! And it rules!
76. Cake: The Distance
Lyric sample: "Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines pumping and thumping in time
The green light flashes, the flags go up
Churning and burning they yearn for the cup"
Ahhh, the song that likes to make cheap subwoofers explode in a blaze
of glory. It's good to get you pulled over, good for drag racing, good for
parties, good for chilling and bouncing and wishing your car had
hydraulics. The amusing part, of course, is that most of this CD is songs
about cars. But does it matter? NO! I want to do this song in karaoke. I
got the phat beats in me.
77. Babes in Toyland: Handsome and Gretel
Lyric sample: "I vacuumed out my head jumping from bed to bed
My name is Gretel, a soul of metal
My name is Gretel yeah, I've got a sloppy slot"
Ohhhhhh man... this was most assuredly my very first venture into the
magical land of super badass chicks. And seriously, there are very few girl
songs that are as vicious and and obnoxious as this one. I remember
revelling in delight with all the FUCK words and SUPERANGST that turned me
into more than just a hair band chick. Praise the Babes.
78. Shudder To Think: So Into You
Lyric sample: "I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
Thinking how it's going to be
Whenever I get you next to me"
Cover tunes, ahoy! Anyone I know who has been force to listen to
Shudder knows that they're, uh, a little bit weird. And this was most
certainly their last good album as well. But this song in particular took
a horrifically catchy song and bastardized it into something evil and good
and just plain ROCKIN. Death to pop!
79. Folk Implosion: Natural One
Lyric sample: I can't figure out what the fuck he's saying, and neither can
anyone else, apparently.
Even though the movie _Kids_ annoyed the hell out of me on many
levels, I couldn't help but fall in love with this song from its soundtrack.
In fact, I have a midi of it on my homepage for no reason other than that I
know I'll never tire of it. It's definitely a song that improves in mass
quantity.
80. Winger: Hungry
Lyric sample: "I hear the tickin on the clock
Countin every day I've been alone
How long before you're coming back
If I don't see your face, I'll turn to stone"
And this is where people REALLY laugh at me. I don't care. The song
begins with elegant strings (in the video, a car goes over a cliff). See,
it's a sad thing, but Winger actually had talent hidden underneath all the
bare-chested-Kipness. Don't believe me? Find something by the Rudess
Morgenstein Project (the drummer, dude, he ruled), and listen to some of
Kip's solo stuff. But all that aside, this song wasn't all cock, and it
showed some lyrical and musical variety. It's good, really it is!
81. Dream Theater: Home
Lyric sample: "Shine- lake of fire
Lines take me higher
My mind drips desire
Confined and overtired"
Just a bit ago, I was driving home with this song cranked in my car
for the ten millionth time. I find it impossible to even get remotely tired
of this song. I think it's mostly after the long, long quiet and intricate
intro, when all the sudden, the song just POUNDS and gives me the urge to
hit someone or kick something over or just plain get violent. I would like
to form a mosh pit at a DT concert for this song... hahaha, I am so silly.
82. Skid Row: I Remember You
Lyric sample: "Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, they called my name"
Drooooool. That's precisely what I did for most of 1989 and 1990,
drool all over Sebastian Bach. And this song! Oh, how can such BAD BOYS be
such SENSITIVE SOULS? Why, for the money, of course. But money
notwithstanding, this song is tender and sweet and full of beautiful vocals
(especially the scream at the end), and I once sang it in front of people
with only an acoustic guitar accompaniment. If you know me, then you know
that it will never happen again.
83. Bonham: Wait for You
Lyric sample: "Come tomorrow
One day closer to your heart
Lost around me
It's time and I'm sad when you're near"
I saw this video the very first time I ever stayed up to watch
Headbanger's Ball. I instantly fell in love with it, and then I never saw
the video again. So I settled for the CD, which is okay, but I'm such a
sucker for oddball syncopation and time signatures that I had a hard time
listening to anything other than this song, even with it's silly, super-
cheesy lyrics.
84. Sneaker Pimps: Spin Spin Sugar
Lyric sample: "I want perfection- I'm real need,
I'veseenattention- see throughme"
I am saddened and amused that the lead singer chick left Sneaker
Pimps because the guys that started the group wouldn't let her write. But
really, why mess with a good thing? This song RIPS THE LIFE OUT OF YOU, and
makes your subwoofers happy as well. I would like nothing other than to
cuddle up with this song and kill myself. Or something like that.
81. T'Pau: Heart and Soul
Lyric sample: "I used to have a lover with the Midas touch
I turned to gold when I turned to dust
Left me for another, I turned to stone
Now give me love, heart and soul"
So many people mysteriously forgot about this song, but when they
hear it, they're all like, "YEAH!" and the '80s live once more. I mean,
it's much better than that damn similar-sounding song that ripped off
"Freebird" and "Baby I Love Your Way" and stuck them together in one song.
But people confuse them, and that makes me cry. T'Pau is essential to life.
Believe it or die.
86. The Statler Brothers: Flowers on the Wall
Lyric sample: "Playin solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do"
Like most people my age, I didn't know this song until it was
featured in Pulp Fiction. But for some reason, it instantly stuck with me,
and I formed a loving attachment to it. It's the perfect happy driving
song, or the perfect chilling brooding song. It fits every situation. Oh,
and Kurt Vonnegut quoted it in _Palm Sunday_. Instant radification.
87. Stereo MCs: Elevate My Mind
Lyric sample: "If I ever get down in the dumps,
Short of a dollar, nothing changed for months,
It seems to rain about every day,
But all in all, seems kinda grey"
I sold my firstborn child just to get this song on a crappy 112kbps
encoded mp3. I don't care, I have a mad fascination with this song, and it
seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. On top of that, the
lyrics are NOWHERE online. Sure, everyone knows "CONNECTED" but not
"ELEVATE MY MIND." Dammit.
88. Aerosmith: Sweet Emotion
Lyric sample: "Tellin' you something you can sure understand
Cause a month on the road and i'll be eatin' from your hand"
Okay, this song is downright bawdy, and it was a difficult decision
for me whether to leave this song on the list or "Rag Doll." Anyway, I dig
the whole vibe of this song, all laid back and chilling with a kickin'
guitar riff. Oh, and that neat backwards clappy noise. And did I mention
how fabulous the video was? I don't think any male who's seen it could ever
forget it.
89. Supertramp: Take The Long Way Home
Lyric sample: "And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable,
unforgettable, how they adore you,
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity,
oh, calamity, is there no way out?
I pretty much hated Supertramp for years just because of the cover of
Breakfast in America. However, I started actually listening to their songs,
and now I find them to be such a wonderful part of the '70s. I don't know
how I let myself miss out for so long! And this song is simply the crux of
all the wonderful things they've done.
90. Elton John: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Lyric sample: "Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road"
This song is like floating around in a fairy tale. It's completely
surreal and flowery and pretty. It's a great contrast with the lyrics, but
I suppose that's the point. Anyway, this song encourages waving from side
to side with your arms in the air and other such cheesy things. Hmmm. Can
anyone actually sing along with this song by heart? Hooray for mumbling!
91. Police: Synchronicity II
Lyric sample: "And every single meeting with his so-called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch"
There is just SOMETHING about this song that refuses to let me just
forget about it. It glues itself to my brain for months after hearing it
just once. Well, that's much better than having "All For Love" by Color Me
Badd stuck in your head. Anyway, Sting's voice has a bizarre appeal to it.
Or, as my sister would remark, "If I were his age, I'd do him."
92. Dream Theater: Pull Me Under
Lyric sample: "Every day sends future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last"
And this is when people say, "Of COURSE she had to throw in another
DT song." That's damn right. And it's a KEVIN MOORE LYRIC DT song as well.
I spent a good year philosophizing over this song when I first really
started loving it. It's been almost 8 years and I'm still hung up. Too bad
the band is so sick of playing it live that they intentionally fuck it up
just to be smug.
93. Rob Base: It Takes Two
Lyric sample: "I wanna rock right now
I'm Rob Base and I came to get down
I'm not internationally known
But I'm known to rock the microphone"
This song got EVERYONE on the dance floor back in those glorious
junior high school days of mine. It blended rap with dance in a market that
wasn't saturated with that particular style yet (what, Salt-N-Pepa and that
"Cars that Go Boom" song were about all else there was at the time). How
many times has this song been sampled? A bizillion? See, that's proof of
greatness.
94. Radiohead: Karma Police
Lyric sample: "This is what you get when you mess with us
Phew for a minute I lost myself"
I'm not sure how to express my extreme love for Radiohead and
particularly for this song without coming off as a hypocrite. Radiohead are
wonderful whiners, er, writers, and some of their songs drag musically, but
not this one. "Karma Police" is another one of those songs that sounds like
what it's saying lyrically, as opposed to, oh, Kittie, who screams bloody
murder about how they wish a boy liked them. But then again, they have no
talent, and Radiohead does, and they know how to write a damn good whiney
song.
95. White Lion: Wait
Lyric sample: "So if you go away I know that I will follow
Cause there's a place inside my hear that tells me
hold out, hold out, hold out"
Mike Tramp, oh man, Swedish hotties. Hair bands were super rad,
especially when bathed in white lights with long curly blond hair while
wearing leather and ripped jeans. White Lion's whole first album completely
kicked ass, but this song was the one that sucked me in and made me an
addict. Nothing wrong with that!
96. Front Line Assembly and Tiffany: New Years Day
Lyric sample: "And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
I...I will begin again"
You can ask many people other than myself who have been polluted by
this song: it's another one of those CRACK SONGS. Another cover tune yes,
and by far superior to the original. FLA is one of my favorite underground
industrial/techno artists, and despite the malls, Tiffany is an incredible
singer. Put them together with an excellent melody and the always
intriguing lyrics of U2, and BAMMO, instant crack. If I could, I would
force you to listen to this song RIGHT NOW.
97. Whitesnake: Here I Go Again
Lyric sample: "I don't know where I'm goin
but I sure know where I've been
hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday."
Who can forget Tawny Kitaen flopping around all over the hood of
David Coverdale's flashy automobile wearing a semi-translucent white cloth
of a dress? The video was most likely the source of much masturbation back
in the '80s. But even after all this time, there are occasions where I find
myself popping my (stolen, it's a hilarious story) Whitesnake tape in my car
and cranking this tune up. It's memorable, and not just for the near-crotch
shots.
98. Deep Purple: Perfect Strangers
Lyric sample: "And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect Strangers"
Of course, the first time I actually heard this song was a cover of
it done by Dream Theater back in 1995. However, as I don't take live-only
covers to heart as actual songs to worship, I went back and found the
original. BAMMO. Yummy stuff. It's much more amazing than I expected, and
I spend much time running around and dun-dun-dun-ing the final oddball solo
and driving people insane.
99. Red Hot Chili Peppers: Higher Ground
Lyric sample: "Lovers keep on lovin'
Believers keep on believin'
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
Cause it won't be too long"
I just HAD to sneak in another cover tune before the end of my list.
And like the naive little twit I was back when I first heard this song, I
didn't KNOW it was a cover tune. But, now that I know that it is, it was a
tough decision whether I like the RHCP better than the Stevie Wonder version
or not. I decided with RHCP simply because it rocks harder and I've been
addicted to it for a long time.
100. Beatles: Helter Skelter
Lyric sample: "Do you, don't you want me to love you
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you"
Wow, look at me sneaking in one of those CLASSIC BANDS right at the
end. I'm a decently respectable Beatles fan, and I love so many of their
songs, but the only song that will cause me to jump around and tell people
that if they change the radio station or DIE would be this song. And no,
it's not just because of the morbid Charles Manson connection... I think it
has more to do with that this song just plain sounds like a bad acid trip.
It's Scary Beatles, and I love that. Smiles.
I suppose I should say something all introspective and summaratory
here, properly close my list with some wisdom or what not, but the music
speaks for itself. Buy the albums. Listen to the radio. Support music.
Kill your mother.
