i'll have to confess-- i'im not 100% bitter-- not even 50% really.

im just quick to anger, but that's another story.

btw i did not mention cat power because it was hard to pick the few among the many.

Glice 01.12.2007 02:56 PM

In no order, except for no. 1 -

1. Carpenters - Goodbye to Love
Purple Trap - The Reassembling Place of Dispersed Holy Murderous Thought
The Fall - The Acute
Arvo Part - Sarah was 90 years old (or the whole of Miserere)
Beethoven's 3rd
Special D - Come with Me
Erasure - Hide Away
Datblygu - Blonegmeddliau
Morton Feldman - Coptic Light
Ground Zero - Die Kapple Von Kersplatz

Pejorative list, subject to my suddenly remembering something else.

noumenal 01.12.2007 03:28 PM

To me, the concept of a "song," is much more narrowly defined than it is for most of you guys, apparently. I guess I misunderstood the topic.

sun city girl 01.12.2007 03:58 PM

i can't think now so i just say what comes to my mind first:

nico - afraid
velvet underground - sunday morning
vashti bunyan - diamond day
jesus & mary chain - about you
morrissey - i know very well how i got my name
the fall - entitled
the mice - little rage
syd barrett - wined and dined
comus - the herald
beach boys - all i wanna do

porkmarras 01.12.2007 04:15 PM

I can't be bothered to make a whole list of songs that i love right now but my favourite song of all time is Glen Campbell's 'Witchita Lineman'.I'll never ever tire of that one.Never.
