Homage/Rip Off

This was a post on the most humourous site that leads anyone here.

Now I cannot remember the first single or even the first album I bought. To be honest I stole a lot of music from my brother and that sent me off in all kinds of crazy tangents.

My best friends in the world opened my ears to many other wonderous things......such as D-Rock!

But seriously I wish I could remember the first album I bought.

I recall getting Pearl Jam Ten for £10 which I thought was funny. Heard they were good, and it was a funny price. They are my favourite band. EVER. I will one day get a Pearl Jam tattoo I love them so much.

So, because I can't recall my first album/single I am going to tell you all my favourite 13 songs.
Music should do one of 2 things. Move you emotionally or remind you of something. Dance music is good, if you want to get up and dance, and goth music works if you wanna feel shit, thats what I mean about music affecting you emotionally.

Hopefully, unlike the above linkage, this will lead to opening doors for you and not moking for me.

In no order, APART FROM THE FIRST TRACK.

1, Pearl Jam, Coudroy. This song in a nutshell makes me feel alive. I have played it to people and they have said that it speaks about me. Some parts do, some don't. I love it so much it hurts sometimes.

2, Al Green, Lets Stay Together, Reminds me of 2 years when I was truely happy.

3, Chairmen Of The Board, Give Me Just A Little More Time. The emotion that the guy sings with......its incredible. This is a real song. Its outstanding.

4, National Express, Divine Comedy. Reminds me of someone very special.

5, Lullaby, The Cure. Its the creepiest song ever written and it gives me chills just thinking about it.

6, Dumb, Nirvana. I don't care either the original or the acoustic. More the acoustic. Such an amazing song.

7, Into the Void, Nine Inch Nails. All differnet sounds that shouldn't work together...........but do. Love it.

8, I Just Don't Think I'll Ever get Over You, Colin Hay. Helped me through some real bad times.

9, Lady Elanor, Lindesfarne. Again another creepy song that grabs you by the magic sack and demands your attention. Props to my mum for this one. Made one of my friends cry when he first heard it.

10, Float On, Modest Mouse. Go on....listen to it and tell me it doesn't cheer you up.

11, Bullet In Your Head, Rage Against The Machine. I have injured myself for days rocking out to this.

12, Please, Ray Lamontagne. Again a very heart felt song that hits me and I can agree with.

13, Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart, Stone Temple Pilots. If Modest Mouse didn't do it for ya, this will. You will have a smile on your face and feel better after listening to this.


I am so tempted to name many other tracks, but I won't.

Without these 13 tracks I probably wouldn't be the sarcastic bastard that everyone hates.

I would be someone better............maybe.
