I don't think I can do this, so I think after enough people post, I'll just do a top 40 songs from people's top 40 songs list.

Haha, I was already compiling songs from others lists. I just recently killed a hard drive and lost everything. So I can't just look through my ichunes and pick.

I feel like the only intellectually honest way to do this is to make a list of the first forty songs that pop into my head that I would designate as 'favorites'. It may not be entirely accurate, but it'll come from a real place, and anyway at least half that many songs I have thought of as my 'all-time' favorite at one point or another in my life. Anyway, here goes.

1. Sting - 'We Work the Black Seam Together'
2. Del Shannon - 'Runaway'
3. The Philistines Jr. - 'The Bus Stop Song'
4. Pink Floyd - 'Brain Damage/Eclipse'
5. Animal Collective - 'Winter's Love'
6. The Residents - 'The Shoe Salesman'
7. Aimee Mann - 'Wise Up'
8. Barenaked Ladies - 'What a Good Boy'
9. Brian Eno - 'Golden Hours'
10. They Might Be Giants - 'Spiraling Shape'
11. The Beatles - 'Fool on the Hill'
12. Frank Zappa - 'Uncle Remus'
13. The Residents - 'Ship of Fools'
14. The Decemberists - 'Red Right Ankle'
15. Chumbawamba - 'Celebration, FL'
16. Clem Snide - 'The Sound of German Hip-Hop'
17. cLOUDDEAD - 'The Velvet Ant'
18. Dan Deacon - 'Snookered'
19. Dead Can Dance - 'The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove'
20. The Gerbils - 'Lucky Girl'
21. Harry Connick, Jr. - 'Booker'
22. Neutral Milk Hotel - 'Ghost'
23. King Crimson - 'Matte Kudasai'
24. LCD Soundsystem - 'Dance Yrself Clean'
25. eels - 'Climbing to the Moon'
26. Midlake - 'Kingfish Pies'
27. The Monkees - 'Papa Gene's Blues'
28. Polaris - 'Hey Sandy'
29. Nice - 'Christiana Amore'
30. Elvis Perkins - 'While You Were Sleeping'
31. Optiganally Yours - 'Geppetto'
32. Paul Simon - 'Think Too Much (b)'
33. R.E.M. - 'Nightswimming'
34. Simon & Garfunkel - 'The Boxer'
35. Tom Waits - 'Soldier's Things'
36. Why? - 'These Few Presidents'
37. Ween - 'Sorry Charlie'
38. The Residents - 'Two Lips/Mr. Bee's Bumble'
39. Talking Heads - 'Don't Worry About the Government'
40. Silver Jews - 'Tennessee'

Even as I finish typing that, I realize that I could do the same exercise again and come up with a list that is entirely different, but all of the really important ones are there. I have no doubt.

I propose posting links to Grooveshark playlists for anyone who's interested. I'll have to cobble one together... if not tomorrow afternoon then Thursday. Fuckin' finals week goin' on. But it'd be neat to be able to peruse a really concentrated list of the songs that are most important to us.

If only I knew. I covered this with one of my bands a few years ago. I could've dedicated it to you. Then everyone would wonder what the fuck what I was talking about when I dedicated a song to "Horned Gramma," but then it'd be okay because I'd seem all cryptic and cool.

1 Foo Dr. Garbanzohters - Everlong (Acoustic)
2 Foo Dr. Garbanzohters - Monkey Wrench
3 Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows
4 Nirvana - Smells like Teen Spirit
5 Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box

7 Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike
8 Soundgarden - Like Suicide
9 Nine Inch Nails - Only
10 Nine Inch Nails - Closer
11 Tool - Aenima
12 Tool - Hooker with a Penis
13 Tool - Vicarious
14 Tool - The Pot
15 Tool - Lateralus
16 Tool - Opiate
17 Tool - Schism
18 A Perfect Circle - Judith
19 Rage Against the Machine - Killing In The Name Of
20 Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You Into The Dark
21 Stars - Take Me to the Riot
22 Green Day - Longview
23 MGMT - Kids
24 Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Stripes - Home
25 Tegan & Sarah - Dancing in the Dark (Cover)
26 Young the Giant - My Body
27 Tenacious D - Fuck Her Gently
28 White Stripes - 7 Nation Army
29 Goodie Mob - Thought Process
30 Outkast - Rosa Parks
31 Hugo - 99 Problems (Cover)
32 Current Swell - Brad's Song

35 Mumford & Sons - The Cave
36 Gogol Bordello - Alcohol
37 Matthew Good - Giant
38 Blind Melon - No Rain
39 Pearl Jam - Better Man
40 Pixies - Where is My Mind?

Also, I'd like to add Dan Mangan - Rows of Houses and The Naked and Famous - Punching In A Dream as honourable mentions. I didn't feel I could add them since they haven't had to stand the test of time yet, but I think they probably will.

And yes, there is at least one song on my list that I would be a little embarassed of.. but I'm assuming this is a "safe place" lol

I got to 19 songs last night when Microsoft Word crashed and I nearly flung my laptop on the ground. I was super stoked I remembered to add The Four Seasons' "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" to the list, though.

Also, HG, I really thought James' "Sit Down" would have been in your list somewhere.

9. Epiphany - Bad Religion
10. Heroes - David Bowie
