A song that you particularly like today or that was stuck in your head.

For me it's ''Look Good In Blue'' by Blondie. I was unfamiliar with this great track. It really shows how the group could be really rocking and pop at the same time. It also has one of my favorite lyric ever : ''I could give you some head ... and shoulders to lie on''

"It's All Good", from Bob Dylan's new album. I'm not as enthusiastic about this album as I am about his previous two efforts, but this particular number is a tremendously effective and bitter conclusion. It's been running through my head this morning.

Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl." It's okay, but annoying as hell to have in my head.

I was thinking that myself just yesterday. It's definitely the catchiest, most lyrically compelling on what's admittedly a minor (comparatively speaking) but still quite good album.

My own song of the day would probably be Springsteen's "Girls in Their Summer Clothes." I seem to come back to it quite a bit these last several months.

A this moment: "Holy Wars: The Punishment Due" by Megadeth - which i haven't heard in months.

by **BrettCullum** » Mon May 18, 2009 8:02 am

Thanks to that commercial I have "TUESDAY AFTERNOON" by The Moody Blues stuck in my head all the time! That is one of my favorite albums, and seems "KNIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN" remains at the top of my mind no matter what.

Embarassingly enough I also have Switchfoot's "THIS IS YOUR LIFE" stuck in there too.

My nightmare is now fully realized... I used to be all edgy and tough... but now I am a sentimental softy who likes uplifting music.

I've had "Bus Stop" by the Hollies running through my head for the last few days, an oldies duo was playing it at our local Farmer's Market last weekend. They did a pretty good rendition of it, although it really needed Graham Nash doing backup vocals!

by **Steve T Power** » Tue May 19, 2009 11:13 am

Today it's "Keep the Dream Alive" by Oasis.

Had Don't Believe the Truth spinning in the car last night.

by **TemporalWisdom** » Tue May 19, 2009 11:26 am

Aside from some pop fluff (I'm a singer and like vocal-heavy music), I'm on Aerosmith's Dude (Looks Like a Lady) today.

by **Dunnyman** » Tue May 19, 2009 11:31 am

For some reason James Iha's "Be Strong Now" off of his excellent Let It Come Down solo album has been stuck in the ol' noggin. Who knew the guy was the reincarnation of Alan O'Day? A tremendous slice of 70's pop.

by **AddisonDewitt** » Fri May 22, 2009 11:18 am

Fairytale... the Eurovision 2009 winner by Alxander Ryback of course!

by **stevetamis** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 4:32 am

Hello,
For me its "Boom Boom Pow" From black eyed peas.

by **HGervais** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 5:19 am

"Ideas As Opiates" by Tears For Fears. It's used as the closing sone for episode 7 of the latest series of Ashes To Ashes and I can't get it out of my head.

I was speaking to a co-worker about this the other day and my point was two-fold, 1) I sometimes think we expect too much out of Dylan. Yeah the past two albums have been classic but there is nothing wrong with the new one and I would argue that while it isn't as strong lyically, it is still one of the best sounding albums he has produced in quite some time and vocally he sounds really loose. I will admit "It's All Good" is in a different class though. 2) It seems to me that after the most recent "Bootleg" set the true test of how good a Dylan album is is what kind of collection it produces of alternative takes & cut songs. So the final determining factor is still out there as far as I'm concerned.

Recently picked up Matthew Sweet and Susannah Hoff's Under the Covers Vol. 2 and their incredible version of Sugar Magnolia has been stuck in my head since. Superb versions of all sorts of 70's classics. The only miss is their take on Tom Petty's Here Comes My Girl. Sweet does not have the right voice to cover Petty songs.

by **tucco** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 12:45 pm

My song of the month actually has been "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys.
Learned it on guitar and piano and the difficult vocal.
A perfect song to rival the Beatles best.
Haunting, melodic, virtuosic .....and voted number one song of the sixties by some list I can't recall at the moment

I love how it's a love song that starts with "I may not always love you."

"Music For Chameleons" by Gary Numan. It's amazing to me just how much music from the 1980s passed me by.

Gary Numan was a pioneer...no doubt....before there was Thomas Dolby, there was Gary Numan

And Ben I agree about the opening lyric to "God Only Knows"...I

And the flak Brian got over the second verse..."what good would living do me?"
I'm not sure if he was playing with his listeners a little bit or not.
Everyone has felt the way those lyrics express, i guess he was bold enough to say it....

I've had Nina Hagen's African Reggae stuck in my head since a long while - it's hypnotic! Ich mag die toll Frau.

by **Dark Knight** » Sat Jul 25, 2009 8:43 am

I got Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah in there today.
Went to an open mic/stage last night at the local coffee shop.
There was this 8 year old girl who not only sang but played guitar that was awesome!
When she began to sing it the said "I think this was from the movie "ShreK", but I'm not good at movies and things.".
She also did Sarah Mclachlan's "Angel" and a Joni Mitchell tune.
If she pursues music, she has a promising career.

by **barnaclelapse** » Sun Jul 26, 2009 7:23 am

Lou Reed-This Magic Moment has been stuck in my head all damn morning.

by **TuK** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 5:00 am

The Chinese national anthem. Shoot me please.

Is it someone singing it running through your head, or someone lipsinging it?

"I Stole Your Love" by KISS ...catchy Paul Stanley number......he said he coped the riff from Deep Purple's song "Burn", and changed it a little

by **Steve T Power** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 4:40 am

"Never gonna give up your teen spirit" by Rick Astley AND Nirvana - man it's scary

Nor does he have the right voice to do Jagger's part from "You're So Vain." And their version of "Bell Bottom Blues" is beyond awful.

Tom Waits-Hold On is probably my favorite Waits song at this moment in time.

by **BrettCullum** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 11:35 am

Thanks to all the WATCHMEN discussions and BATMAN news...

"The End is the Beginning is the End" and "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning" by Smashing Pumpkins are BOTH stuck to the roof of my brain. I love either version, so no real worries. Lord, how I miss the music from the '90s. Never thought I would be saying that, but I do.

by **Steve T Power** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 12:26 pm

Non mainstream pop radio from the 90's at any rate.

I can do without Lou Bega, The Backstreet Boys, Eagle Eye Cherry, and Ricky Martin.

by **BrettCullum** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 2:22 pm

I never listened to anything else but alternative rock in the '90s. I didn't even know the Backstreet Boys exsisted...

Diane Birch-Fire Escape. Can't get the damned thing out of my head. The rest of the album is pretty good as well.

I think they do fine on "You're So Vain", but I must admit I hate "Bell Bottom Blues" in general, but I find their take on it less irritating than the original. Rumour has it that there's a special EP with several other cuts, so I'm looking for that. The Pillowcase EP from the last record had an amazing version of Village Green Preservation Society....
Currently digging deep into the Grateful Dead catalog.....truly some interesting music.

by **HGervais** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 8:46 am

Warren Zevon's "Dirty Life and Times."

by **Dimwitted** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 4:00 am

Sitting on the Dock of the Bay by Otis.

One of the happiest depressing songs ever written.

by **Steve T Power** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 4:25 am

'The Fixer' by Pearl Jam - it is awesome.

by **Dark Knight** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 4:40 pm

Thanks to the Gieco Cavemen, that Third Eye Blind song "let Me Be Myself" or whatever it's called.
Never heard the full version so I have that one part going over and over and over.............Ugh!

Volcano Girls by Veruca Salt came on the satellite radio tonight. Such great bottom-end and guitars that stay crunchy, even in milk.

"Barbarism Begins at Home" by The Smiths - awesome bass line!

Bob Dylan's "The Man In Me."

Sinister Minister by Bela Fleck. *That's* a bassline!

I have not thought of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones in years! Thanks.

I was listening to Nick Cave's Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus over the weekend, and "Hiding All Away" has been stuck in my head this morning.

Two Gunslingers-Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers actually kind of cheered me up yesterday. Odd, as that's not one of my favorite Tom Petty songs.
