Sadchild's top 333 fav songs of all ever

#115 Indigo Girls "Galileo"

An upbeat, almost "hippie jam" way of pondering "what is the meaning of life?", "what is the mind-body-spirit connection?", "does karma exist?" and other imponderables.

 
#114 Lamb "Gorecki"

I don't remember how I was exposed to this trance/trip-hop gem. But I'm sure glad I was. I'm told it's in Moulin Rouge. I'll take their word for it...

 
#113 Eddie Grant "Electric Avenue"

#1983

 
Wistfully playful is a good description. Thats a good song.
I was literally just watching a video of Reeves Gabrels demonstrating his guitar with a sustaniac pickup. (YouTube forced me to a remix of Wish that started with that kind of sound.)
 
#111 Paul Young "Every Time You Go Away"

I'm a sap.
Yep.....


I hated that song when it came out. ....Sappy, sure, but those were the Van Halen days, and it was ALWAYS on when they should have been playing rockers instead.
Eventually I heard I'm going to Tear Your Playhouse Down and Come back and Stay and decided he wasn't all sappy stuff and could sing. Eventually (when I didn't hear it 5 times a day) I realized it wasn't that bad to start with.
 
#110 Indigo Girls "Least Complicated"

Another great story song about young love, skipping school, buying something for your crush -- then getting an awkward response, and wondering why things don't 'just work out' for you.

 
#109 Strapping Young Lad "SYL"

I’ve never heard a cuter intro for a metal song. I’ve never heard a more unexpected ending for a metal song. And I’ve never heard a more pissed off singer. Quote from frontman Devin: "Songs didn't really matter; it was just the intensity and the vibe."

 
#147 Only Living Witness "Nineveh"

Just three days ago, someone did one of those "reaction" videos to this song. Just watching him react to the different parts of the song made me chuckle because I had those same reactions back in 1993. "This was a fuckin' jam!"

#107 Red Hot Chili Peppers "Knock Me Down"

I told my Peppers story back at #200 ("Higher Ground") so I won't repeat it all here. This song showed how the band could let their music mature and talk about something serious, while still being upbeat, hard-rockin' and funky as hell.

 
#106 Marc Cohn "True Companion"

Went to the grocery store one night. On my way, the radio station was playing an interview with this new artist Marc Cohn. He talked about how he wrote a song as a proposal to his girlfriend, as a way to ask her to marry him. I was so intrigued by the story I sat in the parking lot for several minutes listening to him talk, then listening to the song. Fast forward about seven years, this song was my first dance at my wedding.
