What song makes you turn the radio up every time?

[NicoleM]

Lately it's "Amsterdam" by Guster. Also, whenever "Self Esteem" by Offspring comes on, I crank it up and bellow along (I have a terrible voice). Love that song.

How's about you?

[rjbcar27]

1. Currently: Joss Stone - Fell in love with a boy.

Fucking awesome.

She's hot
She's from Devon
She's hot
She's got an amazing voice
She's really hot

Great album. Thoroughly recommended.

[Loonman]

2. "Sympathy For the Devil"

[NicoleM]

4. Do you drive a Gremlin?

[LuCifer]

58. HELL YES!

I'll take anything by QUEEN! Of course, sine my two local South FloriDUH clASSic rock station are owned by Cheap Channel, all you get is that, "Another One Bites The Dust", "We Will Rock You", "We Are The Champs", and if you be lucky "Killer Queen".

5. "Car Wash" Theme -- Rose Royce / Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen (ANY Abba tune)

[Demonaut]

79. Thats funny, got pulled over for peeling out my car 3 am NewYears eve

or New Years morning, got a road sobriety test and passed, asked why I peeled out..it was that Mamma Mia was on the radio and it reminded me of a my best friend when I was 8, cop was totally cool and let me go.........trust me I was shaking in my shoes, I had had 3 beers one shot and a swig of champange over about 4 hours and had stopped drinking about 2 hours before I was pulled over.

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. "I Want You to Want Me" Cheap Trick...

Love that song.

[Intelsucks]

9. I've always wondered why they play the live version

instead of the studio version from Cheap Trick - In Color.:shrug:

[SiouxJ]

42. Cuuuuuuz

it kicks ass over the studio version. CT is best live. They are a band you have to see live to really appreciate. You're not supposed to sit around listening to CT albums, you're supposed to go see them live. That's why they are still touring after all these years. That's why "Live at Budokan" was the album that made them a household name back in the 70's and not many people knew of them before that. I've probably seen them a dozen times but I can't say I sit down and listen to their studio albums much.

[Zomby Woof]

49. true

Though if forced to pick their most enjoyable studio album, the Tom Werman produced "Dream Police" did capture them in their prime, and it wasn't long after 'Budokan' came out. But yeah, live is preferable with them.

[SiouxJ]

54. Oh yeah?

What do you know?! :evilgrin: :-)


I agree, Dream Police is by far their best studio album. That tour was the first time I saw them live and it blew me away.

It is still relatively early and my coffee hasn't kicked in completely yet!

:hi:

[arwalden]

19. LOL... I Had To Google-It To Make Certain Myself

It sounded "right" but it sounded a bit "off" as well. Very typical of the mistakes that I make every day... ESPECIALLY with people's names.

85. "Sober" - by Tool

Awesome song.

[watercolors]

89. I'm an oldie here

Don;t know half the songs you are mentioning. Mine is "do you want to dance with me?" Don't hear on radio or Tv anymore, but play it on our CD , when I do I find hubby and we dance , up close and personal. I cry and hold on tight, he's my best friend and lover and it just means so much to me. We are approaching our 70's, but still very young at heart!

[arwalden]

90. I Know That Song!!

Or at the very least a song with that same title. Bette Midler sang it, but she was probably "covering" an old standard (as she does).

That's a great song!

-- Allen

P.S. I know what you mean about feeling out-of-touch when it comes to knowing the song titles and artists of recent years.

[Butterflies]

92. "You're no good" - Linda Ronstadt
