Five Songs To Buy. You Decided!

If you only had five songs you could listen to what would you choose?

Coca Cola are currently running a splendid offer where you get a free song from iTunes with every 500ml bottle of Diet Coke. I drink a lot of stuff and an hour into the day I've 5 vouchers already accumulated and am looking for the much loved I've never heard.

No agonized stressing needed, just reel off what's at the front of your mind. Lists will obviously be a reflection of where you head is currently at and the musical obsessions you're currently pursuing, this is more like a Rorschach test than an end of year exam.

For what it's worth my list for today would be:

ELO - Mr Blue Sky
Utopia - Jackson and His Computer Band
Fuck The Pain Away - Peaches
Black Night Crash - Ride
Juanita - Underworld

Which I won't be buying as I've already got them

Bought So Far
1. Proud Mary - Ike & Tina Turner
2. Start Wearing Purple - Gogol Bodello
3. Hunted by a Freak - Mogwai (Favourite out of the five)
4. One Thing After Another - David Devant & His Spiritual Wife
5. Stormy Weather - Nina Nastasia

ooo, this is an ace idea

Underworld - Rez/Cowgirl (live, although it's an album-only download from iTMS)
Mr Solo - All Will Be Revealed (title track from the album)
Bis - The End Starts Today
David Devant & His Spirit Wife - One Thing After Another
Coldcut - Man in a Garage

I don't drink any of that other filthy stuff they sell but apparently they're offering the same free song with fat Coke

I agree, it is a nice idea.

The obvious ones, innit:

Stairway to heaven.
Voodoo Chile (slight return) [which was the single version]
Dinah-Moe Humm.
Electricity [Beefheart, other songs of the same name are inferior]
Thick as a Brick [both sides of the album are the one song, but most of these are way over 3 minutes anyway]

Thank god for that. The last thing I want to do is lose anymore weight. I'm wafer thin as it is.

I actually like the similarly titled Suede song, last good thing (apart from splitting) they did IMHO

At that rate you are going to get 100 Gig of music by the end of the promotion

If someone would like to educate me on Suede I'd be prepared to try again with them. Saw them supporting Kingmaker at Nottingham Poly back in 1992 and it just put me off them.

Anyway, 5 songs - again stuff I've already got but if it was a case of these are your only five:

Iron Maiden - Phantom Of The Opera
Daevid Allen - Sitting In A Tea Shop
The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds
The Police - Voices Inside My Head
Blondie - Heart Of Glasss (extended version)

Right, here goes:

'Black Swan' by Thom Yorke (the track off A Scanner Darkly)
'Fools Work' by Inara George (or 'Mistress', or 'No Poem')
'The Workplace' by Jim O'Rourke
'Like Gold' by Erlend Oye
'Come On Feel The Illinoise' by Sufjan Stevens

A splendid bunch of tunes.

Top 5 Suede for me

- Pantomime Horse - Suede
- The Drowners - Suede
- The Wild Ones - Dog Man Star
- My Insatiable One - ?
- Picnic By The Motorway - Coming Up

I can understand why people hate them, fuck me after the excreable Head Music (excepting Electricity) I do to.

Bugger, this would have been a great offer last year. But when I started getting withdrawal symptoms if we had no diet coke in the house (was on about 2 litres a day) I figured it was time to do something about it.

Didn't touch a drop for the first 6 months this year and now only have the occasional when we go out. Replaced it with water in the house and my soft drink of choice now is lime and soda when out.

Wish I could say I felt healthier for it, but I don't. Perhaps not quite so poor and I can stop hunting for the best deals...
