the good song thread
If you post in here to show everybody how cool you are I will hunt you down and kill you.
This thread is to tag songs that you think are great -WHEN YOU HEAR THEM. DO NOT SIT THERE AND THINK OF YOUR FAVORITE SONGS or I will kill you.
KILL.
Proceed.
I've heard a few tonight, actually:
Blackird: Beatles
Vamos: Pixies
One Time One Night: Los Lobos
Juke: Little Walter
People always just pile shit on in threads like this to show how cool they are, but if you could just mention songs that you think are OUTSTANDING then this thread might have a purpose.

Well I don't think there's a bad steely dan song.
Right now I'm rocking to Dona The Buffalo, god I love this band.

To be honest the first song that came to mind was What's On My Mind by Kansas.
OK I know, now I'll get my ass kicked for being unbelievably cool, but in my defense, it's not an act.I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. -אלוהים אדירים

Technically two songs, but they're both great songs. (Is linking vids against the rules? I'm confused)
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

Whistling Songs for me in the summer.
Foster The People-Pumped Up Kicks. Catchy tune, wacky lyrics.
Edward Sharpe-Home
One other one popped on my iPod last night while riding that made me ride like the wind, Janes Addiction-Summertime.
I've been listening to a bunch of alt country lately.
Son Volt-Tear Stained Letter is such a great damn tune
Gear Daddies-Sometimes I Need a Drink
Wilco
Drive by Truckers-Annette
Drivin Cryin-Straight to Hell.
Must be that it is wheat whackin time and I'm thinking home.
Dang the first few posts reveal some olde tyme demo...

In the "songs from a movie soundtrack" division...
Beck - Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime
Gary Jules - Mad World
Whenever I build playlists on my ipod, I usually include both of these.
Not sure if I've broken iceman's rules. I did pull up both of these videos and listen to the songs first, before posting."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ
"She was tossing her bean salad with the vigor of a Drunken Pop princess so I walked out of the corner and said.... "need a hand?"" - Odin
"everybody's got their hooks into you, fuck em....forge on motherfuckers, drag all those bitches across the goal line with you." - (not so) ill-advised strategy

Jump into the fire. Harry Nilsson. The version by LCD Soundsystem is a spot on remake.
ALWAYS makes me think of the drug bust scene in Goddfellas where Ray Lioatta is fraking out.Move upside and let the man go through...

Fuck, so hard to pick just a good song. I keep thinking of bands that produced a shit pile of great songs. Most of the ones I've heard recently (my play list so....) don't belong in the good song thread because they are great songs, heard these on the way in to work today London Calling, Que Onda Guero, Short Shirt Long Jacket, Psycho Killer, .....

ditto. I really like the song but whenever I hear it I get that tweaker frantic thing he had going on in that portion of the movie. I'll be riding my bike and visualize him bombing around in the big 2dr Caddie, sweating, cutting, watching the heli. Why is my nose itching right now?
