I know this board is kind of pointless, but this could be lots of fun! You can post your favorite songs of all time, of the moment, or even list the songs on your playlist or mixtape. Whatever.

This is going to be horribly predictable since I've been listening to all the same shit for the past week, but I'll limit it to one per band this time for the sake of variety. Some of my recent faves:
The Birthday Party - Jennifer's Veil
Nina Simone - Ne Me Quitte Pas
Ella Fitzgerald - Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
The Pogues - Turkish Song of the Damned
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Saint Huck
Howlin' Wolf - Evil
XTC - Dear God
PJ Harvey - Pocket Knife
Diamanda Galas - Gloomy Sunday
The Adverts - Gary Gilmore's Eyes
Gang of Four - Return the Gift
Billie Holiday - Solitude
Swans - Beautiful Child
The Gun Club - Emily's Changed
Concrete Blonde - Tomorrow, Wendy
Q and Not U - Hooray for Humans
Wire - A Touching Display
The The - Out of the Blue (Into the Fire)
Basically, it's all about ladies singing the blues and post-punk.
Cheers,
M

This song has the ability to do something to me unexplainable, its just.... haunting and incredible. My most favourite song, ever.

16) The Killers--"Indie Rock and Roll"
Mate, what possessed you to voluntarily listen to that piece of crap more than once? I think it's possibly the most lamentable song ever written.

I think he was just trying to be cool and pick out the one Killers song that would make him look like he knew something.
Seriously, though, those are some damn fucking fine compilations. I wish I had the effort to make those exact mixes, because I certainly would.
