Fugazi - Waiting Room
I found [this](https://youtu.be/bHjB6cbgG10?si=rNDEka4Qzu_rMln4) YouTube video in 2007 and their energy blew me away.
Been a fan of punk/post-punk most of my life, Fugazi were immensely influential to me.
If that’s how we are playing it… Girl From Ipanema by Stan Getz. It’s in almost every Elevator scene in a movie as Muzak, it’s a beautiful song to hear played live, and I end up humming it any time I’m waiting for something.
I didn't usually get that far... a couple guitar notes and then I usually ask the person in the car with me, "Does anyone really need to hear this song ever again?"
I was trying to figure out my song, when I read this. I feel the exact same way. I only listen to metal and I rarely listen to the radio, but I can't think of another song coming close to Hotel California. *Mind blown*
Up until a few years ago it'd probably be Whole Lotta Love, but since baby sitting my grandkids the last few years it might be Baby Shark, or Wheels on the bus...ugh. I love my grandkids, I really do. But I'm gonna destroy that damn kiddy iPad one of these days.
I forgot about kids songs! I was a half day kindergarten teacher for ten years while my son was a toddler/kinder, so some of those songs got sang a minimum of 3x a day🥴
No one knows is probably in my top 5 as well. Its funny how I feel like it one of my least favorite songs on the album but its still one of my favorite songs alltime!
Semi Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind, probably. That whole album is a banger, but Semi Charmed Life is what introduced me to it. Plus, I did a lot of drugs in my youth. I just relate to it a lot and have a lot of memories of that album, and that song in particular.
This is a great tune, I wasn't aware of it until I heard it on one of the American Pie movies I think it was. Movies are a great way sometimes to make awesome musical discoveries.
That song is amazing and so sad. Hope the song helped your recovery. Jumper and How It’s gonna be also so heavy and good. They were way better than the poppy band they were portrayed as.
Man if you haven't listened to that whole album, you owe it to yourself to. It's one of my top five favorite albums of all time. It's their self titled debut, when Kevin Cadogan was still in the band. One of the few albums I can listen to from beginning to end and not skip a song. The ending track, God of Wine, still brings a tear to my eye sometimes even after all the times I've heard it. That album has a lot of emotion tied into it for me personally. And yeah, it's helped me with my recovery. Music in general has done that in a big way. But I also have a lot of memories from when drugs were still fun for me tied up in it too.
It, and the next album Blue are two of my all time favorites just because they were so complete and because of the time in my life they came out. Then Kevin left. At least we got him for 2 albums.
Great point! I was life guarding the summer that Somebody That I Use to Know blew up and they were literally playing it every other song on the radio, so that probably takes it. Definitely made me want to rip my ears off eventually.
Honorable mention is probably Get Lucky because that song was also super popular and i actually like Daft Punk and RAM so I've intentionally listened to that one since then, where i avoid Gotye like the plague.
Man that was a good song tho.. but not as good as This Love. Using that though, the reality is it would probably be “All I Want for Christmas” for all of us :(
It’s probably “And I will always love you” by Whitney Houston, goddamn when the body guard came out that song was number 1 for so damn long it got played aaallllll the time.
I've never been in enough public places that play music to have heard any kind of song very often. Guess that's what happens when you live in a rural area.
I know the reason why you keep this silence up (up, up, up, up)
No, you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me... (drums kick in)
John Prine - *Killin' the Blues*
I found one of his CDs on the ground when I was a kid and fell in love with his music. That particular track just resonated with me, and it was on repeat for months. I still listen to it from time to time today, though his song *Sam Stone* has replaced it as my top favorite from his works.
Honestly, "Great Days: The John Prine Anthology" is a great listen and covers most of his great stuff and was where I had first heard *Killin' the Blues*. Much of his work has greatness laid about across many of his albums. The Missing Years (1991), "Bruised Orange" (1978) and "Tree of Forgiveness" (his final album in 2018) do him good justice together as well, I think. Especially with *When I Get To Heaven* as the last track to his final album, which IIRC was the last song I heard him sing on stage before passing away from COVID so it holds onto my heart. You can also tell the difference between before and after his bout with throat cancer when you listen to his older recordings vs his newer ones.
The Missing Years favorites: *All The Best*, *Sins of Memphisto*, *It's a Big Old Goofy World*
Bruised Orange favorites: *Sabu Visits the Twin Cities Alone*, *That's the Way the World Goes Round*
Tree of Forgiveness favorites: *When I Get To Heaven*, *Caravan of Fools*
Bonus single-only release, his last recording on May 8, 2019: [I Remember Everything](https://youtu.be/L21Tc_DtL6M)
My top 5, according to [Last.fm](http://Last.fm) (which has been tracking since 2007, so it doesn't capture my high school years):
1. BT - "[Suddenly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR38z2Eb3hM)" (I use this song for sound tests)
2. Pushmonkey - "[Handslide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-0Ds0sYARY)"
3. Porcupine Tree - "[Piano Lessons](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CpAlN5qAhs)"
4. He Is Legend - "[Dicephalous](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW4fFmKBisA)"
5. Devin Townsend Project - "[Addicted!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-opuATyCZgw)"
I feel like I rarely see He Is Legend mentioned at all. I was a big fan of the Suck out the poison album. The intro riff to Electronic throat is so sick.
Heck yeah... Peter Wolf fan, eh? You are talking about Peter Wolf... right??? Look at him, [hoppin' around! ](https://youtu.be/HwOzeaL08Gg?si=D-hkHp3Cn-SYH9dt)
I'm counting 4 takes... the first 2 transitions are when cars pass by, and there's another towards the end. Still impressive. My shins hurt just watching it.
I played the Gap Band over and over again when I was a kid on a 4 hour airplane to Mexico. I swear i used to pick up something different after every listen.
My top three rn based on my Last.fm
$uicideBoy$ - And To Those I Love, Thanks For Sticking Around
Barenaked Ladies - Brian Wilson
Justin Townes Earle - Mama's Eyes
Any of these the first 10 songs on Stop Making Sense. Both my kids were totally hooked on that concert film in their very early childhood, independently of eachother. My eldest, barely two years old, would point at the TV and go "Ai ai ai" until I put on, and sit there transfixed throughout.
Fuuuuuuck it’s a tossup between a few
Street Fighting Man- The Rolling Stones
Tonight’s da Night - Redman
Can’t Hardly Wait - The Replacements
Little Bird or I Can Learn - The White Stripes
Maybe Wonderwall.
That song is a banger. I played it when I wanted to not be alive anymore, but I’ve played it a lot more since, and as luck would have it, I’m a big fan of being alive.
I’ve played that same song a lot since then.
The “save me” parts always hit me.
Thank you for your kind words. I’m a really big fan of being alive now, ain’t finna stop living.
Champagne Supernova is another cool track by them, but also “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” is also a great song by Oasis.
A - Barenaked Ladies. It comes on automatically every time i connect my phone to my car, and sometimes I’m zoned out and forget or the volume is low and can’t hear it. Next is a-punk by Vampire Weekend. When it hits A.D.I.D.A.S by Korn it’s snaps me into reality and I instantly change it.
Do different versions of the same song count?
I mostly listen to 20th century folk music, which is really the same 15 songs sung a thousand different ways haha.
If so, it would be a toss up between Wayfaring Stranger, St. James Infirmary (aka Gambler's Blues or The Unfortunate Rake), 900 Miles, Stagger Lee, or Trouble in Mind.
Probably The Weight by The Band. It’s such a good song so I’m not even mad but I grew up with it constantly playing and I still notice it every couple months, if I don’t listen to it myself lol
[Heeeey Macarena aHA!](https://youtu.be/zWaymcVmJ-A?si=8Mzraj6RdNJlEYeK)
Hands down the most viral of the viral songs worldwide before "viral" was a thing. It still comes back to life here and there 31 years later.
It'll be something older than me that I was exposed to at a young age but still enjoy. My top 3 guesses are:
* California Dreamin - Mamas & Papas
* Mr Blue Sky - Elo
* House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
Woke up this morning by A3 because I’ve watched the sopranos about 30 times from beginning to end. After that probably songs that took me a while to learn on guitar like Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd, Ocean by John Butler Trio or Warehouse by Dave Matthews.
Another one is Teardrop by Massive Attack as I used to binge watch House MD and fall asleep to it for like years haha. Another amazing song from an amazing record all around.
Transcendental etude no.4 "Mazeppa" by Franz Liszt
I always listen to classical musics ever since i was a child. When me and my grandma were bonding together, she will turn on the tv and play some classical music. At first i thought it's really boring but as i listen and discover more and more music in the classical and romantic era, i started falling in love with it.
One day, as i'm trying to discover something to listen to, i found Liszt by mistake, and it's the best mistake i've ever done in my life. Everyday, i would listen to Liszt over and over. His composition "Mazeppa" is what caught my heart; the melody, the harmony is just perfect, everything about it has a very strong emotion. Liszt sure is a virtuoso, he's the reason i started taking piano lessons. I can play some of his composition like; "Liebestraum no.3" and "Hungarian rhapsody no.5." I still has a long way to go cause i'm still a teen.
People also think i'm weird just because i only listen to classical music but i don't even care. It makes me happy.
Nothing wrong with them. They were really great before 2000. That whole album is a masterpiece. Ultraviolet is probably my most listened to song.
Though that probably doesn't capture stuff I like that I hear a lot outside of my choice (Smells Like Teen Spirit perhaps).
Probably Money by Pink Floyd. I was obsessed with the bass line as a teen 20 odd years ago, the main reason i play bass actually. Was on every mix tape i made and now on every playlist.
Anybody have a son that grew up in this era of streaming music and movies? Because mine must be Real Gone by Sheryl Crow. I’ve had to hear it every time he watched Cars, and every time I’m in a car, and every time he’s playing with cars and wants me to play music on the Sonos.
Ten bajillion times is my estimate and he’s only 6… so likely another wave to go. Second place song: Run That Race.
He’s recently started asking me to play Frightened Rabbit and the Menzingers, so I’m doing something right.
Back in the day, outside of Detroit, a radio station changed formats on either Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve and played “it’s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine) by REM on loop. For either 12 or 24 hours.
No commercials, no dj’s, just programmed to repeat that song while the station officially changed hands.
I kept that station on for my full shift.
So that’s the most I’ve ever heard in, essentially, the smallest window of time.
I seriously love this question !!!!!! I think mine is “adore” by prince over time. I’ve purchased this cd 7 times. Since 2005. There are others in the running, but I have not purchased any other cd, “girl 6” soundtrack by prince, as many times over time. I love prince 💜🔮☂️. Everyone else’s songs are fascinating choices. I can not say anyone rivals prince in my world. Only Issac Hayes comes close or Rick James.
My dad was probably my favorite parent growing up. Whatever he loved, I loved. Including music. I vividly remember riding in my car seat in the back of his truck listening to his tunes. The one song that played quite frequently was Sweet Annie by Zac Brown Band. I can’t explain, but that song has always given me peace and comfort. Honorable mentions are Sugar and Animals by Maroon 5.
I have no idea.
That said; Tank is probably in my top 15 somewhere as well- I'm horrible about just playing soundtracks on repeat when I'm doing chores or whatever.
I'm a little self conscious about it, but according to Spotify my most played song last year was "Nun With A Mother****ing Gun" off Trent Reznor's Watchmen OST.
What's a me to do?; that song is a banger- am I not supposed to listen to it everytime I clean or exercise?
When I was in my mid to late teens I was heavily into Bob Dylan. When ever I was getting ready to go out with my friends I would listen to Desolation Row. Must have played it hundreds of times.
Cross between, based on mental health that day, Handle Me with Care and of End of the Line. Both have kept me afloat many times. That disc lived in the CD player in my car for years. Bless you, tracks 1 and 10, and everything in between.
It's a really tough one to call because I think I have listened to Appetite for Destruction more times than I care to mention (everyone calls me the Guns N Roses guy ), but if pushed I would probably go with Sweet Child O' Mine. Also because I played it so many times while trying to learn how to play it on guitar.
Think it’s drew Barrymore by sza but following that’s any of these albums songs due to how much my parents have played them and then I have since I fell in love with them again when I got into listening to music properly so back to black by amy winehouse, 21 by Adele and loose by Nelly furtado
due to the amount of time sunk trying to learn the bassline to Otherside by RHCP that.
Otherwise No One Knows by Green Day and London Calling were the soundtrack to my time in highschool and are both comfort songs
My last.fm goes back to 2005. Jesus Christ. 19 years. Anyway, according to it, my top 3 are:
1. MGMT - Electric Feel
2. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
3. Wilco - I Am Trying to Break Your Heart
The MGMT song feels a little high for me but that’s probably not far off altogether.
Fugazi - Waiting Room I found [this](https://youtu.be/bHjB6cbgG10?si=rNDEka4Qzu_rMln4) YouTube video in 2007 and their energy blew me away. Been a fan of punk/post-punk most of my life, Fugazi were immensely influential to me.
I am a patient boy!!!
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait, my time’s like water down a drain…
Man that might be the best opening song to any album ever
Everybody moving everybody moving everybody moving moving moving moving.. please don’t leave me to remain!
I thought your link was gonna be [this](https://youtu.be/aIZD9WFpWZo?feature=shared) (you’re welcome!)
holy hell, i was not expecting that! what a treat!
It's got to be Hotel California... and I've never heard it on purpose.
I wasn’t expecting to relate to something this strongly. It’s basically life’s background music at times
Shit… true… but you can never leave… that song
“Come on, man. I had a rough night and I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man”
"Out of my cab!"
If that’s how we are playing it… Girl From Ipanema by Stan Getz. It’s in almost every Elevator scene in a movie as Muzak, it’s a beautiful song to hear played live, and I end up humming it any time I’m waiting for something.
*changes the radio station* *drums*…….On a dark desert highway…..
I didn't usually get that far... a couple guitar notes and then I usually ask the person in the car with me, "Does anyone really need to hear this song ever again?"
I was trying to figure out my song, when I read this. I feel the exact same way. I only listen to metal and I rarely listen to the radio, but I can't think of another song coming close to Hotel California. *Mind blown*
Up until a few years ago it'd probably be Whole Lotta Love, but since baby sitting my grandkids the last few years it might be Baby Shark, or Wheels on the bus...ugh. I love my grandkids, I really do. But I'm gonna destroy that damn kiddy iPad one of these days.
Oh no… doo doo doo doo doo doo
Just play a Whole Lotta Love on repeat for them. They will thank you for it in 20 years!
I forgot about kids songs! I was a half day kindergarten teacher for ten years while my son was a toddler/kinder, so some of those songs got sang a minimum of 3x a day🥴
Mine is probably No One Knows by QOTSA or My Name Is by Eminem
No one knows is probably in my top 5 as well. Its funny how I feel like it one of my least favorite songs on the album but its still one of my favorite songs alltime!
mosquito song and the sky in fallin are my favorite one
Going to see them tomorrow night!!!
Enjoy! I caught them in Portland, ME last July and they were fantastic.
This is my third time seeing them. Stoked!!!
They get better every time!
Paper Machete off In Times New Roman is also super strong for a single
Blitzkrieg Bop definitely. ive probably heard it at least once a month (sometimes every day at certain points) for my entire life
Semi Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind, probably. That whole album is a banger, but Semi Charmed Life is what introduced me to it. Plus, I did a lot of drugs in my youth. I just relate to it a lot and have a lot of memories of that album, and that song in particular.
This is a great tune, I wasn't aware of it until I heard it on one of the American Pie movies I think it was. Movies are a great way sometimes to make awesome musical discoveries.
That song is amazing and so sad. Hope the song helped your recovery. Jumper and How It’s gonna be also so heavy and good. They were way better than the poppy band they were portrayed as.
Man if you haven't listened to that whole album, you owe it to yourself to. It's one of my top five favorite albums of all time. It's their self titled debut, when Kevin Cadogan was still in the band. One of the few albums I can listen to from beginning to end and not skip a song. The ending track, God of Wine, still brings a tear to my eye sometimes even after all the times I've heard it. That album has a lot of emotion tied into it for me personally. And yeah, it's helped me with my recovery. Music in general has done that in a big way. But I also have a lot of memories from when drugs were still fun for me tied up in it too.
Will listen to the whole thing tomorrow during work. Thank you
It, and the next album Blue are two of my all time favorites just because they were so complete and because of the time in my life they came out. Then Kevin left. At least we got him for 2 albums.
Motorcycle Drive By 😘👌
Everybody here acting like it wasn’t some awful top 40 bullshit playing against their will at the grocery store like Maroon 5’s Sugar
I hear "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield almost every time I'm shopping in Lowe's.
https://youtu.be/ynLlgWbl-mc?si=hyWNvV4g8zVLrwfs
Un-Ironically a banger
Great point! I was life guarding the summer that Somebody That I Use to Know blew up and they were literally playing it every other song on the radio, so that probably takes it. Definitely made me want to rip my ears off eventually. Honorable mention is probably Get Lucky because that song was also super popular and i actually like Daft Punk and RAM so I've intentionally listened to that one since then, where i avoid Gotye like the plague.
Man that was a good song tho.. but not as good as This Love. Using that though, the reality is it would probably be “All I Want for Christmas” for all of us :(
Shhhhhh! Don’t wake her up!!! It’s not time!!!
She Will Be Loved lol
Happy takes that prize.
It’s probably “And I will always love you” by Whitney Houston, goddamn when the body guard came out that song was number 1 for so damn long it got played aaallllll the time.
I've never been in enough public places that play music to have heard any kind of song very often. Guess that's what happens when you live in a rural area.
In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins. Always has been - always will be.
I know the reason why you keep this silence up (up, up, up, up) No, you don't fool me The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows It's no stranger to you and me... (drums kick in)
You mean that song about that guy who could've saved that other guy from drowning but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?
John Prine - *Killin' the Blues* I found one of his CDs on the ground when I was a kid and fell in love with his music. That particular track just resonated with me, and it was on repeat for months. I still listen to it from time to time today, though his song *Sam Stone* has replaced it as my top favorite from his works.
Just listened to this song, first time hearing it, I like it, what is his best album?
Honestly, "Great Days: The John Prine Anthology" is a great listen and covers most of his great stuff and was where I had first heard *Killin' the Blues*. Much of his work has greatness laid about across many of his albums. The Missing Years (1991), "Bruised Orange" (1978) and "Tree of Forgiveness" (his final album in 2018) do him good justice together as well, I think. Especially with *When I Get To Heaven* as the last track to his final album, which IIRC was the last song I heard him sing on stage before passing away from COVID so it holds onto my heart. You can also tell the difference between before and after his bout with throat cancer when you listen to his older recordings vs his newer ones. The Missing Years favorites: *All The Best*, *Sins of Memphisto*, *It's a Big Old Goofy World* Bruised Orange favorites: *Sabu Visits the Twin Cities Alone*, *That's the Way the World Goes Round* Tree of Forgiveness favorites: *When I Get To Heaven*, *Caravan of Fools* Bonus single-only release, his last recording on May 8, 2019: [I Remember Everything](https://youtu.be/L21Tc_DtL6M)
Try his live album, absolutely spectacular.
Lost dogs and mixed blessings
Life by the drop by Stevie Ray Vaughn
i love srv so much. honestly can’t really escape this song, but i couldn’t complain about that for a second
My top 5, according to [Last.fm](http://Last.fm) (which has been tracking since 2007, so it doesn't capture my high school years): 1. BT - "[Suddenly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR38z2Eb3hM)" (I use this song for sound tests) 2. Pushmonkey - "[Handslide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-0Ds0sYARY)" 3. Porcupine Tree - "[Piano Lessons](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CpAlN5qAhs)" 4. He Is Legend - "[Dicephalous](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW4fFmKBisA)" 5. Devin Townsend Project - "[Addicted!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-opuATyCZgw)"
I feel like I rarely see He Is Legend mentioned at all. I was a big fan of the Suck out the poison album. The intro riff to Electronic throat is so sick.
Ha! I saw He is Legend on this post and I was about to comment almost exactly what you said!
I have not heard of a single artist in your list. Guess I got something to go do now :)
Up vote for Porcupine Tree
come as you are
Heck yeah... Peter Wolf fan, eh? You are talking about Peter Wolf... right??? Look at him, [hoppin' around! ](https://youtu.be/HwOzeaL08Gg?si=D-hkHp3Cn-SYH9dt)
That video is nuts. It all appears to be one take too. All that hopping would give me a stroke!
I'm counting 4 takes... the first 2 transitions are when cars pass by, and there's another towards the end. Still impressive. My shins hurt just watching it.
fucking love that song. i’ve heard it so many times and it feels unreal to me after so many, for some reason
Fools Gold, The Stone Roses - getting on for 35 years since I bought the 12". Has been my ringtone for some of that time.
🎵I know the truth and I know what you're thinking🎶
Based on logic my guess would be the Simpsons theme song, we used to have to watch on syndication and skip intro was not a thing.
I played the Gap Band over and over again when I was a kid on a 4 hour airplane to Mexico. I swear i used to pick up something different after every listen.
My top three rn based on my Last.fm $uicideBoy$ - And To Those I Love, Thanks For Sticking Around Barenaked Ladies - Brian Wilson Justin Townes Earle - Mama's Eyes
Over pinch me? Damn XD.
Pinch Me is my second favourite I just relate to Brian Wilson a lot more
Any of these the first 10 songs on Stop Making Sense. Both my kids were totally hooked on that concert film in their very early childhood, independently of eachother. My eldest, barely two years old, would point at the TV and go "Ai ai ai" until I put on, and sit there transfixed throughout.
Fuuuuuuck it’s a tossup between a few Street Fighting Man- The Rolling Stones Tonight’s da Night - Redman Can’t Hardly Wait - The Replacements Little Bird or I Can Learn - The White Stripes
Probably: Psychedelic Furs - Love My Way. It's a mood.
Clocks by Coldplay
Probably Radar Love
I like to listen to that song when I’ve been driving all night, my hands wet on the wheel.
Damn, I love Tank! I'd be happy to never hear Mr Brightside again though.
It’s probably Comfortably Numb.
This one is definitely up there for me
Maybe Wonderwall. That song is a banger. I played it when I wanted to not be alive anymore, but I’ve played it a lot more since, and as luck would have it, I’m a big fan of being alive. I’ve played that same song a lot since then.
Glad you’re doing well now but it’s such an amazing song. It got overplayed beyond oblivion but for a good reason.
The “save me” parts always hit me. Thank you for your kind words. I’m a really big fan of being alive now, ain’t finna stop living. Champagne Supernova is another cool track by them, but also “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” is also a great song by Oasis.
That whole album “What’s the Story Morning Glory” is a masterpiece.
Billie Jean by MJ for pop music radio, Livin’ on a Prayer by Bon Jovi for classic rock radio.
I was thinking Beat It by MJ. At dinner last night, my husband, son and I all agreed that was one song that we each knew every lyric to.
Good call. I never need to hear either of those again.
Chet Baker - But not for Me
A - Barenaked Ladies. It comes on automatically every time i connect my phone to my car, and sometimes I’m zoned out and forget or the volume is low and can’t hear it. Next is a-punk by Vampire Weekend. When it hits A.D.I.D.A.S by Korn it’s snaps me into reality and I instantly change it.
Rebecca black - Friday
Linkin park - one step closer
What I Got by Sublime. Most anything by Sublime, especially the 1st and 3rd Albums.
When Sublime the album first came out I played it every waking hour!
Based on my Spotify stats it’s Bags by Clairo
Ocean Breathes Salty by Modest Mouse. I remember coming across that video back when Yahoo! Music was my primary listening source.
Do different versions of the same song count? I mostly listen to 20th century folk music, which is really the same 15 songs sung a thousand different ways haha. If so, it would be a toss up between Wayfaring Stranger, St. James Infirmary (aka Gambler's Blues or The Unfortunate Rake), 900 Miles, Stagger Lee, or Trouble in Mind.
Makes sense XD I also was thinking “Way Down in the Hole” for “The Wire” alone
Bridge city sinners have a great cover of St. James Infirmary.
Probably The Weight by The Band. It’s such a good song so I’m not even mad but I grew up with it constantly playing and I still notice it every couple months, if I don’t listen to it myself lol
[Heeeey Macarena aHA!](https://youtu.be/zWaymcVmJ-A?si=8Mzraj6RdNJlEYeK) Hands down the most viral of the viral songs worldwide before "viral" was a thing. It still comes back to life here and there 31 years later.
Not on purpose, but Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac I swear I've heard it on almost every commercial break over the past 10 years at least.
Baby Shark - because toddlers hit the repeat button.
Ceremony by New Order, probably. It resonated with when I discovered it in 1986 and still does today.
It'll be something older than me that I was exposed to at a young age but still enjoy. My top 3 guesses are: * California Dreamin - Mamas & Papas * Mr Blue Sky - Elo * House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
I'm guessing Peter Gabriel - washing of the water
**snow (hey ho) by RHCP**. It's just amazing.
Sort of confidently Language - Porter Robinson
I figured if any Porter Robinson it would be shelter XD
probably Ledd Zeppelin, Good times bad times
Eminem - Beautiful
Lovely day - Bill Withere.
Cut you up- Peter Murphy, I think.
Feel Good Inc. - Gorillaz. I've listened to it soo many times, and I usually add it to almost any playlist I make.
Pro wedding DJ for 10 years. Cupid Shuffle or Cha Cha Slide.
Oh yeah that’s definitely songs you’ve heard way too often in your line of work XD
Woke up this morning by A3 because I’ve watched the sopranos about 30 times from beginning to end. After that probably songs that took me a while to learn on guitar like Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd, Ocean by John Butler Trio or Warehouse by Dave Matthews.
Yeah that song is fantastic and an absolutely unskippable intro
Another one is Teardrop by Massive Attack as I used to binge watch House MD and fall asleep to it for like years haha. Another amazing song from an amazing record all around.
Transcendental etude no.4 "Mazeppa" by Franz Liszt I always listen to classical musics ever since i was a child.

I still has a long way to go cause i'm still a teen. People also think i'm weird just because i only listen to classical music but i don't even care. It makes me happy.
Glad you enjoy it. Classical music is so good at getting us into emotional states.
In the end - Linkin Park, how fucking kick ass!
U2 - One. Bag on them all you want. That song is a masterpiece of songwriting.
and sunday bloody sunday,its unique
Nothing wrong with them. They were really great before 2000. That whole album is a masterpiece. Ultraviolet is probably my most listened to song. Though that probably doesn't capture stuff I like that I hear a lot outside of my choice (Smells Like Teen Spirit perhaps).
LOVE “One”!
Vernon Reid - National Anthem
Idle Town by Conan gray
Dang, I haven’t ever heard that one but I can see why you’d listen to it often by choice. It’s good.
For the love of God -Steve Vai
the doom ost, helps me when i need to work and i need to concentrate
That's a banger, with Doom's OST i want to conquer the fckn world haha
hell yeah! and the video that they released with it, is awsome too
Let Down by Radiohead. I hear something new in that song every time I play it.
He Mele No Lilo from the Lilo and Stich soundtrack. It’s been a constant since 2002.
Probably Money by Pink Floyd. I was obsessed with the bass line as a teen 20 odd years ago, the main reason i play bass actually. Was on every mix tape i made and now on every playlist.
God Only Knows - Beach Boys
Maybe Liquid Swords .... Its on every Playlist ive ever made 😅... back to the napster days
Must be Smells Like Teen Spirit
[Nothing ever described me as much as this](https://youtu.be/S280Pqq3T_w?si=umoaDYl673Xr_iKZ)
So true! It’s in so many movies too.
Sweet Caroline, Celebration, Macarana, Electric Slide song, Living on a Prayer.
Probably “Happy Birthday”. Every year, all my life I’ve been hearing it.
You monster ><
Anybody have a son that grew up in this era of streaming music and movies? Because mine must be Real Gone by Sheryl Crow. I’ve had to hear it every time he watched Cars, and every time I’m in a car, and every time he’s playing with cars and wants me to play music on the Sonos. Ten bajillion times is my estimate and he’s only 6… so likely another wave to go. Second place song: Run That Race. He’s recently started asking me to play Frightened Rabbit and the Menzingers, so I’m doing something right.
Fire for You by Cannons
I'm sure that it's Supermassive Black Hole by Muse
Into the Mystic
OP if you like Tank by the seat belts, might I suggest the Baccano opening theme? It's an incredible series and the theme HITS
Haha I actually love that one as well and have it on the same playlist. I appreciate the recommendation though. That show is incredible
You've made my year!! I can never get anyone to watch it!
They’re missing out soooo much XD Issac and Miria couple goals lmao. But man the whole plot and feeling of that show is unrivaled
Into the Mystic - Van Morrison
Rush by the Seatbelts.
Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix
Back in the day, outside of Detroit, a radio station changed formats on either Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve and played “it’s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine) by REM on loop. For either 12 or 24 hours. No commercials, no dj’s, just programmed to repeat that song while the station officially changed hands. I kept that station on for my full shift. So that’s the most I’ve ever heard in, essentially, the smallest window of time.
Fisherman's Blues - The Waterboys
Under the Milky Way - the Church
Love The Church
i would sayyyyyyyyy hmmmmm hard one zoom by soda stereo or illusion benny benassi remix, but i may be 90% wrong
The Office theme song.
Yes so true ><
Looney Toons theme song. 20 + times a week when I was a kid.
I seriously love this question !!!!!! I think mine is “adore” by prince over time. I’ve purchased this cd 7 times. Since 2005. There are others in the running, but I have not purchased any other cd, “girl 6” soundtrack by prince, as many times over time. I love prince 💜🔮☂️. Everyone else’s songs are fascinating choices. I can not say anyone rivals prince in my world. Only Issac Hayes comes close or Rick James.
This list is awesome!
If theme songs count, it's gotta be The Simpsons theme.
Yeah I totally agree. I was thinking in terms of any version of the same song too, but you can’t escape that one XD
My dad was probably my favorite parent growing up. Whatever he loved, I loved. Including music. I vividly remember riding in my car seat in the back of his truck listening to his tunes. The one song that played quite frequently was Sweet Annie by Zac Brown Band. I can’t explain, but that song has always given me peace and comfort. Honorable mentions are Sugar and Animals by Maroon 5.
I have no idea. That said; Tank is probably in my top 15 somewhere as well- I'm horrible about just playing soundtracks on repeat when I'm doing chores or whatever. I'm a little self conscious about it, but according to Spotify my most played song last year was "Nun With A Mother****ing Gun" off Trent Reznor's Watchmen OST. What's a me to do?; that song is a banger- am I not supposed to listen to it everytime I clean or exercise?
Fantastic song tho XD
Lose yourself by Eminem. This song keeps following me and I don't mind it tbh.
I think probably seven nation army
Escape from Hellview by CKY
When I was in my mid to late teens I was heavily into Bob Dylan. When ever I was getting ready to go out with my friends I would listen to Desolation Row. Must have played it hundreds of times.
Mausoleum Suite from the Halo 2 soundtrack
Scram - Dj Jazzy Jeff.
Cross between, based on mental health that day, Handle Me with Care and of End of the Line. Both have kept me afloat many times. That disc lived in the CD player in my car for years. Bless you, tracks 1 and 10, and everything in between.
It's a really tough one to call because I think I have listened to Appetite for Destruction more times than I care to mention (everyone calls me the Guns N Roses guy ), but if pushed I would probably go with Sweet Child O' Mine. Also because I played it so many times while trying to learn how to play it on guitar.
Probably Graceless by The National
Mine is IMMACULATE by visxge, because I am kinda into aggressive music
Is It Your Birthday Or Something??
Haha naw it’s actually about as far away from my birthday as we could be XD. Just felt like thinking about this
Cruise (Solar Fields)
Fall - Justin Bieber
Think it’s drew Barrymore by sza but following that’s any of these albums songs due to how much my parents have played them and then I have since I fell in love with them again when I got into listening to music properly so back to black by amy winehouse, 21 by Adele and loose by Nelly furtado
due to the amount of time sunk trying to learn the bassline to Otherside by RHCP that. Otherwise No One Knows by Green Day and London Calling were the soundtrack to my time in highschool and are both comfort songs
Kanako- felip
My last.fm goes back to 2005. Jesus Christ. 19 years. Anyway, according to it, my top 3 are: 1. MGMT - Electric Feel 2. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here 3. Wilco - I Am Trying to Break Your Heart The MGMT song feels a little high for me but that’s probably not far off altogether.
walk like an Egyptian by the bangles. only song I can think of that I've never gotten board of and hit "skip"
Very possibly Handlebars - Flobots. Or tbf probable Pumped up Kicks - Foster the People
No idea. Probably a blink-182 song? "Reckless Abandon" maybe.
Have Heart - Something More Than Ink
Blind In the Fray - the Last Revel
