i was eating a fruit by the foot, and the paper had a game on it called 'Top 5' and you had to name your top five favorites of everything, if you and your friend had the same thing in any categories you got to give eachother a high five! haha.
one of the categories was songs
so, whats the best song ever written?
Prince-when doves cry
Billy Joel-captain jack
Bright Eyes-something vague
REM-losing my religion
Wu Tang Clan-protect ya neck
do i get to give anyone a high five?

*edit* I didnt read "best song ever written part, so this is just a top 5 song list, oops!*
As far as song lyrics go, I'd have to say Brand New - Sowing Season, or Millstone, atm.
My list probably changes constantly
Set Your Goals - Echoes
Jurassic 5 - Quality Control
The Devil Wears Prada - HTML Rulez D00d
Explosions in the Sky - Memorial
Chiodos - The Undertaker's Thirst For Revenge Is Unquenchable. (The Final Battle)

I agree to disagree. I'm not sure if it's even possible to have one favorite explosions song. Each album is like one awesome song in itself.

So good! I recently pulled out "Apathy and Exhaustion" and it's made me remember how amazing The Larry Arms truly are. So underrated.

i don't think i could ever pick just five, but the first one that comes off the top of my head is "nothing better" by the postal service. that's been one of my all-time favorites since i was like eleven.
+10
andrE w. said 6 months ago
you have to pick five, the name of the game is top 5
hideouscarwreck said 6 months ago
this game frustrated me so much.
the postal service - nothing better
yeah yeah yeahs - maps
the faint - agenda suicide
the blood brothers - cecilia and the silhouette salloon
matt & kim - lightspeed
THE ONLY REASON I DIDN'T INCLUDE BRIGHT EYES IS BECAUSE I COULDN'T PICK MY FAVORITE BRIGHT EYES SONG.
BUT if i had been able to pick, it would have ended up being either first day of my life, neely o'hara, or a new arrangment.

a wilhelm scream - william blake overdrive

sittingduck said 6 months ago
I dunno how i forgot to post oingo boingo, I love them.
which of their songs goes:
"It's a party, there's a full moon in the sky, there's a wolf in the night, and I don't wanna die"
it has the single note bassline through the entire song, that's prolly my fav oingo boingo song, but I can't remember the name of it.
