Songs you have to hear more than once..... When you play them..
Lone Justice Shelter...... Cause it's so fucking romantic....
Nanci Griffith Trouble in the Fields.... Cause it's so fucking sad....
Sunday's Here's Where the Story Ends... Cause it's so Etherial...
Suzanne Vega Luka.... Just because I grew up with a kid who was beaten...
10,000 Maniacs Hey Jack Kerouac.. Cause it's a song about Fucking Jack Kerouac....
Lucinda Williams Lonely Girls ... Cause it's such a heart wrenching song....
Neko Case Blame it on the Moon.... Cause who the Else are you gonna blame it on....


You get the idea.... Women write and perform the best songs.....

3. I found a video
I'll try to locate it again and post the link for you. I bought the cd.
But the song really is much better if you listen without the video. I
thought the video took away from the emotion I got with just the music.

7. One that comes to mind
"If We Only Have Love" by Dion Dimucci. You know...The Wonderer guy. In the 70s he put out a few great folk albums and I listen to them all the time. His voice is friggin' great. he just released a new blues album which I have yet to get.

This song is on one of his "folk records" and it is just so powerful that whenever I hear it once, I walk over to the cd player and repeat it.

If we only have love
Then tomorrow will dawn
And the days of our years will rise on that morn
If we only have love
To embrace without fears
We will kiss with our eyes
We will sleep without tears

If we only have love
We can reach those in pain
We can heal all our wounds
We can use our own name
If we only have love
We can melt all the guns
And then give the new word
To our daughters and our sons

Oh, if we only have love
With our arms open wide
Then the young and the old will stand at our side
If we only have love
We will never bow down
We'll be tall as the pines
Neither heroes nor clowns

If we only have love
To be shared by all men
We will drink from a dram
To be born once again
If we only have love
If we only have love

15. Of that whole list...
"The Only Way Is The Wrong Way" by Filter is the best.

The bastards at Hummer couldn't get the rights to the song for their stupid H2 commercial because the band told them to go fuck themselves, so they played their "own" version of the song to hawk their gasboxes.

Pisses me off to this day.

19. "Whitewater" by Kyuss.
Especially the end of the song. One of Josh Homme's best guitar solos.

24. Shattered Faith - Bad Religion
Rarity...B-side...would have been by far the best song on the album if they'd included it...profound lyrics...just great.

There are many, many others, too.

26. Gimme Shelter
The intro is the greatest thing ever heard in Rock and Roll.

And I'm not a Stones fan.

30. Their very best. Great intro.Merry Clayton's solo is as good a 30 second
vocal as I've ever heard.Just scorching.

Steve Earle's "Guitar Town" is one I have a hard time listening to only once also.It's just so infectious,starting out with the vigorous acoustic guitar strumming and it's only a shade over two minutes long so giving it a relisten diesn't use up much time.

34. Just turned fifty-one.

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
