Really good list. This is a pretty tough question because it’s just like what mood you’re in, I guess, but I don’t know any particular order…except number one which is:

1. The Meters- Cissy Strut (give it a listen if you want) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v….._iC0MyIykM

2. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings- How Do I Let a Good Man Down?

3. Gladys Knight and the Pips- Midnight Train To Georgia

4. Steely Dan- Your Gold Teeth

5. Chuck Berry- Brown Eyed Handsome Man

6. Bob Marley and the Wailers- Waiting In Vain

7. Marvin Gaye- Pride and Joy

8. Bob Dylan- 4th Time Around

9. Sam the Sham and the Pharaoas- Wooly Bully

10. Ella Fitzgerald- In A Mellow Tone

11. Billie Holiday- Am I Blue?

12. The Archies- Sugar, Sugar

13. Aretha Franklin- Chain Of Fools
14. Chicago- Travel Suite: Happy ‘Cause I’m Coming Home

15. Dave Brubeck Quartet- Take Five

16. George Harrison Apple Scruffs

17. Nat King Cole- Walkin’ My Baby Back Home

18. Sly and the Family Stone- Everyday People

19. The Temptations- Ain’t Too Proud To Beg

20. The Jackson Five- I Want You Back

That was just a quick look at my iPod, I’m sure I’ve forgotten many.

Wonderful choice! One of my favourite Dylan songs as well.

In no order:

4th Time Around, Subterranean Homesick Blues, Spanish Harlem Incident- Bob Dylan

April Come She Will, El Condor Pasa (If I Could)- Simon & Garfunkel

Gentle on My Mind- Glen Campbell

42- Coldplay

Nothing in My Way, Is it Any Wonder?- Keane

Probably more… but in all honesty, most of my favourite songs are Beatle’s songs. About 20 of them! a-hard-days-night-john-6

 

Tongue, lose thy light. Moon, take thy flight… see ya, George!

Wow! Fantastic lists!! I'm on my way to expand my musical tastes so I'm adding this to my need-to-check list..

 

U2 – With or without you, Where the streets have no name, Bullet the blue sky, Stay (Far away so close), Miracle Drug, Beautiful Day.

Janis Joplin – Get it while you can, A woman left lonely, and Me and Bobby McGee.

 

Ok, this is from a folder named 70s-80s-90s romantic songs.

 

Procul Harum – A whiter shade of pale.

Earth Wind and Fire – Reasons.
Journey – Open Arms. 

Roxette – Spending my time.

Madonna – Crazy for you. Take a bow.

Neil Diamond – Love on the Rocks, September Morn.

Jimmi Hendrix – Little Wing.

The Police – I love them. My favorites : Every breath you take, Roxanne and King of Pain.

Sting – Shape of my heart. Englishman in New York.

Kansas – Dust in the Wind. 

Christ de Bourgh – Lady in Red.

Ten Sharp – You.  

Sinead O'Connor – Nothing compares 2u.

Roberta Flack – Killing me softly with this song.

Duran Duran – Ordinary World.

October Project – Return to me  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..ausca4XFIE)

Glen Hansard and Marketa Irgolova – Falling Slowly (it's the most recent song. I love it)

Michel Fugain – A Belle histoire (I don't know why, but I LOVE THIS SONG)

Mandy Moore – Umbrella (I don't like Mandy Moore and I hated this song with Rihanna, but this combo worked for me)

Elton John – I want love 

Boy George – The Crying Game. (Awesome singer + Awesome version = awesome song for an awesome movie)

No Doubt – Don't Speak (the only song I like from them)

Annie Lennox – Why

John Waite – Missing you (the ultimate 80s heart break song)

Spandau Ballet – True.

Bad English – When I see your smile.

 

And I have another folder named Elisa's favorite 70s-80s-90s but I guess with these is more than enough a-hard-days-night-ringo-6

Here comes the sun….. Scoobie-doobie……

Something in the way she moves…..attracts me like a cauliflower…

Bop. Bop, cat bop. Go, Johnny, Go.

Beware of Darkness…

This is kind of tough. But here they are in no particular order.

Most U2 songs

Time of the Season/She's Not There/ Tell Her No-The Zombies

Haven't Met You Yet/ It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Sastera)-Michel Buble

London Calling- The Clash

Dancing With Myself/Rebel Yell/ White Wedding-Billy Idol

Incense and Peppermints-Strawberry Alarm Clock

A lot of Beach Boys songs

And that's all I can think of. I'll probably add more in the near future.

Is it just me or does this song sound like a modernized mix of Your Mother Should Know /All You Need Is Love /Peny Lane?

Crying – I love Roy Orbison(:
American Pie – I listened to this song practically the whole time while me and my mom were driving to a Paul concert, so for me, it’s a happy song
Here Today – Pet Sounds is a great album!
Puff the Magic Dragon – This songs so cute, but it’s real sad at the end and it kinda reminds me of Toy Story 3, which is one Of my favorite movies ever!!!!
The Sound of Silence – I’m on a Simin and Garfunkel kick right now..
