Hello everyone,

I am looking for new influences in music. I would like you to post up to 5 songs that you think are GREAT that maybe not everyone has heard before or have been lost in the past. I have songs on my computer from Frank Sinatra to DMX, Godsmack to Sade so I am open to most types of music except country and Tejano.

I think most music genres are like beautiful women. It doesn't matter where they are from, you can still pick them out. So although genres may be unfamiliar to me, I can still appreciate the beauty in the music.

I have 3 playlists:

general- self explanatory
chillin' -for drinking beer
abs of steel- to motivate me to exercise, to instill me with energy (see chillin' for why I need to exercise)

So post away!

Currently I need more high energy songs (I'm not talking heavy metal, just songs as simple as Jump! by Van Halen that get your head a bobbin' and feet a tappin'.

I will start by giving you my recommendations:

Mack the Knife- Sinatra with Jimmy Buffet- general or abs of steel
Party up- DMX- abs of steel
I aint mad at cha- Tupac- chillin
Mazzy Star- Fade into you- chillin
Last Train to Trancentral- KLF- abs of steel

You do not need to put your songs in a category. I will download recommendations to "the screening room" and transfer them as appropriate.

Please post JUST 5 of your absolute favorites, thanks.

PS: By post, I just mean list, I will search the kazaa-lite data base for the actual songs.

Consequence Free - Great Big Sea

Ultimate feel-good music.


My mum swears by Queen's 'Breakthru' for jogging to. Might work with other kinds of exercise...

[hobbes]

Great songs, both of them are now in "abs of steel"

I won't respond to all, but this is exactly what I wanted. Never had heard either of these 2 great songs.

glad you liked them
If you like Great Big Sea's sound, try:

Someday Soon
Feel It Turn
The Chemical Worker's Song
Sea Of No Cares
Clearest Indication

I know that makes 6 GBS songs now but hey...

Moxy Fruvous - The Drinking Song
Spirit of the West - Home for a Rest (it's too hard to pick a best song... so here's one good one)
Barenaked Ladies - Off the Hook (same comment as above )
Lorenna McKennit - The Highwayman
Mozart - Requiem (It's over an hour long though. And it's Mozart, so I'm not sure how it'd fit with the rest of your songs. )

Edited to add: Oh, hell. Barenaked Ladies - Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel.

I can't limit myself to five.
