Godoggo jumps on the bandwagon and brings 50 great songs with her.

[Godoggo]

Why not? Everyone's dying to hear my musical tastes, right? :rolleyes::drevil:

My first song:

1. O Superman ~ Laurie Anderson (1981 Big Science)

O Superman (http://grooveshark.com/#!/queue/O+Superman/28ECfF)

[Swan]

Whoa, that's weird! I literally just listened to that song! What a coincidence!

[seanc]

I think my favorite part of these has been the name for the threads you guys come up with.

[Swan]

Hey Godoggo, do you like the band Xiu Xiu?

[Godoggo]

2. Persons Unknown ~ Poison Girls ( 1980)

I don't know if I have ever heard them.

Once I finish my Tecmo Super Bowl season I am going to go through this thread and judge you, Godoggo! :D


You will probably pass this test.

You might like Xiu Xiu. Some of the stuff is pretty intense, but I guess that's the point.

Cool thread, too.

[Godoggo]

Thanks.

I'm going to give them a listen tonight while I work on the tv list.

[Godoggo]

6. Just Like Honey ~ Jesus and Mary Chain (1985 Psychocandy)

Just Like Honey (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7EgB__YratE)

http://i62.tinypic.com/otgt94.jpg

I don't know what it is up with Scotland, but it produces some fantastic artists. I heard one song one time by Jesus and Mary Chain and went and bought the album. That's something truly rare for me to do.

[Godoggo]

7. This Woman's Work ~ Kate Bush (1989 Sensual World)

This Woman's Work (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7TupvVpxY_U)

http://i58.tinypic.com/2ekocue.jpg

The very first note gives me goose bumps. Every single time.

[jiraffejustin]

I haven't heard most of these, but I do love me some Kate Bush. I've been falling into love with her recently.

[Justin]

Jesus and Mary Chain's catalogue is endlessly listenable. "April Skies" is my favorite song.

[Godoggo]

How can you not? Arguably the best vocalist ever.

Jesus and Mary Chain's catalogue is endlessly listenable. "April Skies" is my favorite song.

I love that song too. I don't think I've ever heard a song by them that I didn't like.

[Godoggo]

8. Beatrix ~ Cocteau Twins (1984 Treasure)

Beatrix (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7aXpBuXuxPg)

http://i59.tinypic.com/2rehysm.jpg

Good grief, this is a good song. Another Scottish band and a band that I would have a hard time living without. Hot bath + candles + this song = everything bad melts away. Everything.

[Swan]

I haven't heard most of these, but I do love me some Kate Bush. I've been falling into love with her recently.

Me too, I've been listening to her a lot lately. She's fantastic. I think my favorite song by her is "The Dreaming".

[Nausicaä]

Nice to see another fan of the Zounds on here! :D

[R.P. McMurphy]

Good list so far! Especially that Jesus and Mary Chain song. One of my favorites.

[Godoggo]

Nice to see another fan of the Zounds on here! :D

Cool! I rarely run into people who know who they are. Even people who are into punk music.

[Godoggo]

9. Tube Disaster ~ Flux of Pink Indians (1997 Not So Brave)

Tube Disaster (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uwr9qWjdUS8)

http://i61.tinypic.com/16h1z51.jpg

Proving their was still good punk to be found after the 80s

[Swan]

Those punk kids!

[Justin]

Get off my lawn.

[Godoggo]

10. Groove Is In The Heart ~ Deee Lite Featuring Q-Tip (1990 Power of Love)

Groove is in the Heart (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gzoEK545j64)

http://i59.tinypic.com/2hi6wlk.jpg

Best dance song ever!

[honeykid]

Now that's a great song. :cool:

[Godoggo]

12. In a Big Country ~ Big Country (1983 The Crossing)

In a Big Country (http://grooveshark.com/#!/queue/In+A+Big+Country/2cW3Et)

http://i61.tinypic.com/2edzcqg.jpg

Going back to Scotland for this one. I love that punk/Celtic sound and I think this may have been my first introduction to it.

11. Only Love Can Break Your Heart ~ Saint Etienne ( 1990 Foxbase Alpha)

Only Love Can Break Your Heart (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vZAajrxvDs4)

http://i57.tinypic.com/29e1xqv.jpg

Someone covering a Neil Young song? Bah! But turns out I like this version even better.

[Miss Vicky]

I think I've heard of only three of these songs so far, including the last two. :laugh:

[Godoggo]

I have some more common songs coming up, but not many.

[Godoggo]

13. Happy Birthday~ The Sugarcubes (1987 Life's Too Good)

Happy Birthday (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BFQPNApwJGU)

http://i61.tinypic.com/25kird1.jpg

Bjork's voice is amazing and I fell in love with this song (and her) when I first heard it on 97X around the age of 15.

[Swan]

F*ck yeah Bjork!

[Godoggo]

14. Song to the Siren ~ This Mortal Coil (It'll End in Tears 1984)

Song to the Siren (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p1LeXdP9lcM)

http://i62.tinypic.com/so0lty.jpg

Absolutely hypnotic song with amazing lyrics. There are many many versions of this song, but I'm partial to this one.

[Godoggo]

15. Troy ~ Sinead O'Conner (1987 The Lion and the Cobra)

Troy (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hnjntu-JzsY)

http://i61.tinypic.com/11v1e0y.jpg

Sinead's debut album is her best work and the one where she lets that big huge lovely voice really stand out.
