"Take Five" Dave Brubek - One of my favorite songs just for the structure of it.
"When You're Good to Mama", Queen Latifah (from the "Chicago" soundtrack) - I listened to this on the way and back from Dayton yesterday. This song always got repeated. I loved this scene, and she is in wonderful voice in it.
"Canon" Pachelbel - Special place in my heart - it was the processional at my and
no subject
:-) (And I'm still looking for a recording of a pipe organ version played as well as our organist played it that evening...)
12 songs
I Cried for You - Billie Holiday - blues. if you don't know billie, i can't help you.
*I Want Candy - Bouncing Souls - i downloaded this looking for the original. it's better. sort of punk/ska cover with a guy singing, which makes it even better. this would be good for an APC dance.
*Head Like a Hole - Devo - the song i think is originally Nine Inch Nails. DEVO is that crazy '80's pop band that was all sciencefictioned out.
Without Me - Eminem - rap. Eminem rules.
*Tainted Love - Marilyn Manson - ah, Marilyn Manson. Industrial Goth Metal. if you don't know them, or Eminem, i will assume that you have been living under a rock. there is something deliciously *right* about MM covering this tune. *scary*. the original was by... Golden Earring? gosh, i can't remember. from the '80's. yes, i was in 8th grade at the time.
Do You Realize? - The Flaming Lips - This band is amazing. see them in concert if you can. they've been together since about '82 or so. but they never hit *big*. a lot of musicians like them. you can tell that Radiohead must have been listening to them years ago. :)
In the Aeroplane, Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel - emo rock. i finally found out who made this song waaaaay after they broke up (1998 - alas!). this is the song i wish to have played at my funeral.
Asleep - Mazzy Star & The Chemical Brothers - Mazzy Star does what i call sleepy rock. she always sounds really sleepy. Chemical Brothers usually do techno rave-type-stuff. great song.
*You Don't Own Me - Rasputina - ah! Rasputina! i just discovered them for myself thanks to a dear friend. they're a goth cover band. they play cello. they rule.
Love to Love - Donna Summer - the queen of Disco. her voice is stellar. even if you don't like disco, you have to at least admit *that*. besides, her moans in this tune put prince to shame.
*I Will Survive - Cake - the original was by Gloria Gaynor and is the ultimate i'm-so-happy-now-that-you're-gone-song. Cake is what i call ironic slacker rock.
Luck Be a Lady - Frank Sinatra & Count Basie - if you don't know who Frank or the Count are, i can't help you.
bonus track:
*Hungry Like the Woolf - Reel Big Fish - yes, Duran Duran, covered by a Ska Band. absolutely brilliant.
"n"

Re: 12 songs

1. Kid Rock - "American Badass" ; I can't help it, I love Kid Rock.
2. Guess Who - "No Sugar Tonight"; classic rock stuff, almost as good to sing along to as "Black Water"
3. The Orb - "A Huge Evergrowing Pulsating Brain That Rules From the Centre of the Ultra World" ; techno
4. Letters to Cleo - "I Want You to Want Me"; Cheap Trick covered by a ska band
5. Public Enemy - "Welcome to the Terrordome"; Public Enemy, 'nuff said.
6. Coal Chamber (w/Ozzy) - "Shock the Monkey"; Peter Gabriel cover by a cheesy metal band. Rest of the album sucked, but this track kicks ass.
7. Joy Division - "Love Will Tear Us Apart"; a classic, so much better than most of the subsequent covers.
8. Malice Mizer - "Le ciel"; pretty J-Pop boys.
9. Mediaeval Baebes - "Quan vey la lauzeta"; female vocal group doing traditional tunes in an updated style.
10. Def Leppard - "Photograph"; I am all about the 80s hair bands.
11. Aimee Mann - "4th of July"; smart, literate and just a teensy bit bitter; my kinda woman.
12. Dhol Foundation - "Colours of Punjab"; drummers. Lots and lots of drummers.

And I would love to hear the Dolly Parton cover of Stairway to Heaven. I never cared much for the original (although I like a number of other Zep tunes) but I bet her voice sounds wonderful on it.
