Levis Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 As person-in-charge of these Personal Top Ten thingies, you'd think I'd remain perfectly objective till the very end. Yeah....... no. Please give it up for Farin who is putting up a list I order you all to enjoy. I give you his much-awaited: NOMINATIONS 108 Battles (Of The Mind) ~ Kula Shaker Link After the Gold Rush ~ Neil Young Link It's kinda sad that he can still play this song as a current issue... "look at Mother Nature on the run in the 21st century" All is Full of Love ~ Björk Link Another Love Song ~ Queens of the Stone Age Link The ultimate break up line has to be "You're just another Love Song" Birdhouse in Your Soul ~ They Might Be Giants Link Any band that makes a song from the viewpoint of a nightlight deserves my uttermost respect. Black Gold ~ Soul Asylum Link Black Math ~ The White Stripes Link This song speaks from my soul during those long math lectures... "I can't tell you how proud I am - I'm writing down things that I don't understand". Blister in the Sun ~ Violent Femmes Link Blue Monday ~ New Order Link Of course it's the 1983 original, which is far superior to the 88 remix version, imho. Cannonball ~ The Breeders Link ahoooooooh, ahoooooooh Connected ~ Stereo MC's Link aahaaaahaaaa, aahaaaahaaaa Deadweight ~ Beck Link Don't let the Sun catch you crying... from A Life Less Ordinary OST Disco 2000 ~ Pulp Link Let's all meet up in the year 2000, won't it be strange when we're all fully grown? Disillusion ~ Badly Drawn Boy Link My favourite singer-songwriter Driftwood ~ Travis Link El Mañana ~ Gorillaz Link = "The Tomorrow" and don't worry, the lyrics are in English Electrolite ~ R.E.M. Link "New Adventures in Hi-Fi" is really an underrated album Enjoy the Silence ~ Depeche Mode Link Everybody must have felt like this once or twice... or more often. "Words, like violence, break the silence" Fluorescent Adolescent ~ Arctic Monkeys Link For Tomorrow ~ Blur Link If you think about it, it's actually a bit strange that I like both Grunge AND Britpop quite a lot. Funky Monks ~ Red Hot Chili Peppers Link Exactly what the title suggests: here's a song about Monks... umm, well kinda Glory Box ~ Portishead Link The song that introduced me to Portishead and with that to Trip-Hop... PS Zwobot was the best music TV show (from the best music channel) I've ever saw God Shuffled His Feet ~ Crash Test Dummies Link a parable or a very subtle joke? Ich Bin Müde ~ Fettes Brot Link Since I knew this was coming, I prepared for this event here Ichisichisichisich ~ Die Fantastischen Vier Link Lyrics aren't that important here, the title is a pun that's hard to translate, just think of it as "I is I is I is I" In Silence ~ Low Link How can such a low-fi song have so much energy? Or is that just me? Jamming ~ Bob Marley Link Karma Police ~ Radiohead Link Besides the obviously great song, this could also be my most favourite music video Kopfüber in die Hölle / Revolution ~ Die Ärzte Link see post for what it's about... maybe my favourite Ärzte track. Lazy Sunday ~ Small Faces Link The accents and the video alone made me want to include this Love Will Tear Us Apart ~ Joy Division Link Mala Vida ~ Mano Negra Link Manu Chao's band before he began his solo carreer Mr. E's Beautiful Blues ~ Eels Link I was quite surprised when I finally got the album and noticed that this is a hidden track! No More Heroes ~ The Stranglers Link Olsen Olsen ~ Sigur Rós Link Very nice build up, GREAT Climax! in one word: beautiful. Our House ~ Madness Link Playground Love ~ Air Link from "The Virgin Suicides" OST Pumping on Your Stereo ~ Supergrass Link This one used to have a different title, I don't remember why they had to change it though... Rearviewmirror ~ Pearl Jam Link Just as with 'Black', PJ felt this song was much too personal to 'exploit' it with a single release, let alone a official video Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat) ~ Digable Planets Link Hip-Hop + Jazz... or Jazz + Hip-Hop? Road to Nowhere ~ Talking Heads Link Would you like to come along, you can help me sing this song Rose Rouge ~ St. Germain Link Even if you don't like the music (hard to imagine, I know) you can look at some paintings by van Gogh Sabotage ~ Beastie Boys Link I'm singing to this every time I hear it. From the "AAAAAAAAAHHH" at least until the first "SABOTAGE" Sappy ~ Nirvana Link Sleep Now in the Fire ~ Rage Against the Machine Link Headbanging Teardrop ~ Massive Attack Link I don't think I'm exaggerating when I call this THE Chillout Song. The Guns of Brixton ~ The Clash Link Not only Strummer/Jones could write great songs, but also Mr Simonon The Passenger ~ Iggy Pop Link Written on a train ride in Berlin, backing vocals by one "David Bowie", don't know if you ever heard of him Was hat Dich bloß so Ruiniert? ~ Die Sterne Link Becoming famous changes people... "Just what has ruined you so?" Weather With You ~ Crowded House Link Listen to each song individually, or make use of this consolidated Playlist VotevotevotevotevoteVOTE!

edna Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 that´s a real challenge... OK, I´m spending two or three hours in my weekend to listen to your list, Martin... ...it´s very good!! There are some oldies of mine that, of course, will be in the first places, but I also like some of the new or unknown (for me) suggestions...

Farin Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 you know, I'd be happy if everyone would discover a new song or maybe rediscover one they'd heared before... it doesn't really matter if they'll vote for it highly... I like every song on the list so every outcome has to be great (from my view) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hee Hee, I've been waiting for this one!!
