THESE FORUMS NOW CLOSED (read only)
Fun Stuff => BAND => Topic started by: just-another-andy on 30 Jan 2008, 03:34
-
I could listen to Dosed by Red Hot Chilli Peppers forever and not mind.
-
"Cherry Colored Funk" by the Cocteau Twins, or "Peaches en Regalia" by Frank Zappa.
-
For the past two days I have been listening to the Nouvelle Vague cover of Billie Idol's Dancing with Myself rather frequently. It is just so bloody catchy that I can't help myself. Good news is that I will eventually get tired of it.
-
Hallowed be Thy Name - Iron maiden. I can't even describe how epic it is.
-
Gripped By The Lips-Joan of Arc
Holy Fucking Ghost-Owls
The Lament of Pretty Baby-Cursive
North To Nothing-Wrens
Fucking With The Altimeter-Brainiac
Come Into-Enon
Sea Foam Green-Jawbreaker
More Than Ever-Bedhead
The entirety of Gentlemen on repeat
Lowest Part Is Free-Archers of Loaf
Equus-Blonde Redhead
Shitty Yacht-Silkworm
Anthems for a 17 year-old girl-Broken Social Scene
Oh man, I should stop now. This list could go on forever. None of these songs are even the best on the albums they appear. They're all just songs I've listened to on repeat for hours at a time, enjoying each subsequent play through more than the last. If I made a playlist of songs like this, I bet I could listen to it forever.
-
Robot Rock - Daft Punk
Bikes and Bridges - Defiance, Ohio
Any song fucking ever by Explosions in the Sky
Minute-Hour-Day-Week-Year(The Faiths in my Chest) - City of Caterpillar
These were the first ones to pop into my head, anyways.
-
E.S.T. - From Gagarins Point of View
Bonnie "Prince" Billy - No Bad News
Brand New - Sowing Season
Graf Orlock - Skynet
Pig Destroyer - Loathsome
Envy - A Chain Wandering Deeply
Haram - Plastic Hearts
and this one I just got tired of a couple of days ago, but it's back in the fold again:
Band of Horses - No One's Gonna Love You.
-
I was listening to the album Silent Shout by The Knife on repeat a week ago.
-
Sometimes this happens to me for a few days. Last week I became momentarily obssessed with the Archers of Loaf song 'Dead Red Eyes' (http://www.box.net/shared/0dyk4tvk0k).
Such a strange and oddly beautiful song.
I've been on such a huge Archers of Loaf binge lately. It seems like they are all I listen to anymore.
But when I am not listening to them, I am listening to the song Autoclave from the new Mountain Goats album. It is such a sad song.
-
Autoclave is a great song, I've actually listened to it over and over again a few times since I first heard it.
-
1/1 of Music for Airports.
Anyone who says that they couldn't is either lying or a dirty communist.
I know because Brian Eno told me that he hates communists.
-
Pig Destroyer is a dirty communist killing machiiiiine
-
'You suffer' by Napalm death. I could listen that track at least 500 times without stopping.
-
"Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space".
-
Jimi Hendrix - Red House
-
So far this has happened to me with
"The Face of Oblivion" by High on Fire
"The Passenger" by Iggy Pop"
"Spem in Alium" by Thomas Tallis
"Rainbow Bridge" by Curtis Birch and the New Grass Revival
"East Hastings" by Godspeed You Black Emperor! (yeah, I know their second album was better, but that song's really catchy)
Oh, and "Sicut Cervus" by Palestrina, but that's practically mandatory where I go to school.
-
'More Than Ever' - Bedhead
[Fake Italian Accent]
This song, she is the molto bello. Biznono, he is writing the many songs that are mia preferita. Oh so many of these the songs! Biznono, you are there and here you are. You are mia zio fantasma. This song, she is the best of all maybe? Is so lovely, so very lovely to be hearing. Is maybe song about the girl and the boy? They have been in together for so long, so many years. Then there is having the problem. The problem, she is so strange. No-one can say why there is this problem but soon there will be no boy and girl. It is there on she horizon, we can see. There it is! Many songs about this momento, perhaps, but for me they are maybe the lies? They say the problem but it is hidden in silly poems and the screams and her shouts. Maybe in these other songs, we see the problem in a wink of an eye. Why the wink? If you are to tell me this here now let me know it for sure! Sapristi!
Biznono, you do not wink at me with her song. Graci Biznono! Graci for not winking at me.
[/Fake Italian Accent]
Oooh, Ned, you sounded just like a Pitchfork writer just then!
Anyway, here are some recent fixations of mine -
Enon - Law of Johnny Dolittle
Battles - Race:In
Pantha du Prince - Saturn Strobe
u-Ziq - Glink
PIL - Public Image
-
Am I a bad person for preferring the Siouxie and the Banshees cover of "The Passenger"?
-
Not at all, i prefer it as well.
-
"Electric" by Boris.
It's sub-two minutes, so I usually do play it two or three times anyway when it comes up.
-
TV on the Radio - Young Liars
(the song off the album of same name)
-
ObPedantic: Young Liars is an EP, not an album.
That said, I could listen to that whole thing nonstop for a very long time. Every song on it is pure gold. I picked up the EP on a whim just because of the label it was on, not having heard a single word about the band or what they sounded like, and the first 30 seconds of "Satellite" seriously blew me the fuck away.
-
Am I a bad person for preferring the Siouxie and the Banshees cover of "The Passenger"?
No, that's how I first heard the song, actually, and it is fantastic.
Also, it is my goal to put "Electric" on a dance mix with Britney Spears. If only my personal computer wasn't dead.
-
I almost put it on a dance mix I'm making for someone on here, but I ended up going with a Mando Diao track.
(man I've been at it for like 6 months, now)
-
'How To Disappear Completely' (Radiohead)
I go on and off the rest of the songs but I could listen to that one ad infinitum no problem.
-
"Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space".
-
Si, the music words, they are poignant.
Matt Kadane says everything I ever wanted to but lacked the eloquence to say!
-
"Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space".
And albums by the Brian Jonestown Massacre.
-
Lately, I've been listening to "The Billiard Player Song" by Shellac almost constantly. I've been going on a math/noise/post rock binge.
-
Am I a bad person for preferring the Siouxie and the Banshees cover of "The Passenger"?
Not at all, it is a great cover!
I have yet to get sick of listening to Voxtrot's Firecracker. It just makes me want to dance around like a maniac.
-
'Hedda Gabler' by John Cale. I think I've probably left side 2 of Animal Justice on one of my turntables for at least a week, if not longer.
Probably also 'Let's Be Still' and 'Night Falls On Hoboken' by YLT.
And any side of Metal Machine Music, of course.
-
The Celts by Enya.
I actually have recorded this song ten times in a row on a CD, and I listen to it frequently.
-
Once I made a looped tape of Little Spanish Flea by Tijiuana Brass for an artwork. I accidentally left it a friend's house. They rang me up the next day to tell me that they had taken copious amounts of acid and listened to nothing but Little Spanish Flea all night.
-
"I Want You" - Bob Dylan
"Old Man" - Neil Young
"We Share Our Mothers Health" - The Knife
"Rocks Off" - Stones
"Sympathy for the Devil" - Stones
"Plateau" - Meat Puppets, as performed by Nirvana
"Suffragette City" - David Bowie
"Entertain" - Sleater-Kinney
"Our Life Is Not A Movie Or Maybe" - Okkervil River
"Gone Gone Gone" - Robert Plant & Alison Kraus
"All My Friends" - LCD Soundsystem
"Jimmy" - M.I.A.
"Alison" - Elvis Costello
-
I have got a ton of songs that do that for me so a list would be pretty pointless. Though I'm listening to one of them right now: Hummingbird by Wilco. Goddamn amazing song.
-
Right now I'm hooked on You are There by Mono. I could listen to that one album for the rest of time and be content with existence.
-
You Make Me Like Charity by The Knife was probably my worst case of this. I played it over and over for a couple of months before I got just a bit sick of it.
More recently, it's been M.I.A's Paper Planes, and Maserati's Show Me the Season.
-
I'm not sure about this question, because I think the longest I've ever listened to a single song is a bit less than an hour.
I think I could live with Radiohead's "A Reminder", though.
Also: Wolf Parade - "Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts" and "I'll Believe in Anything", back-to-back for FOREVER would work.
-
My Bloody Valentine -- Sometimes.
I don't know why, I just LOVE that freakin song.
-
I forgot "Not Unlike the Waves" by Agalloch.
"Me and Giuliani Down by the Schoolyard" by !!! would only present problems insofar as a mere mortal would die if he tried to shake his ass for a long enough period of time. It's like a curse or something.
-
"Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space".
And albums by the Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Add everything The Dandy Warhols and Spacemen 3 have ever done and the rest of my iTunes library is irrelevant.
-
I forgot "Not Unlike the Waves" by Agalloch.
Excellent song, but I don't know about infinite repeat. I was listening to Ashes Against the Grain and The Mantle for about two or three days straight this summer though.
-
On Earth As It Is In Heaven - Ennio Morricone (from the Mission soundtrack).
An epic in under 4 minutes.
-
'Gronlandic Edit' by Of Montreal
'No Pussy Blues' by Grinderman
'A Girl Like You' by The Smithereens
'The Ghost of Genova Heights' by Stars
'Dry the Rain' by The Beta Band
'If Love is a Red Dress' by Maria McKee
'Chicago' by Sufjan Stevens (honestly one of his few songs I actually like)
...and almost any Belle and Sebastian song.
That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. But back in high school, five-hour marathons of NIN's 'Something I can Never Have' and/or 'Love You to Death' by Type O Negative were a weekly ritual for me... I wore a lot more eyeliner back then. :-D
-
Sole- Finally, from Learning to Walk
-
I realized a while ago that no matter how many times I listen to Elephant Gun by Beirut, I'll never grow tired of it.
-
I was playing the first Le Tigre album last night, and I once again found that at the end of Eau D'Bedroom Dancing I needed to hit repeat a couple times. Happens every time I listen to the album. It takes supreme willpower for me to move on from that song.
-
I realized a while ago that no matter how many times I listen to Elephant Gun by Beirut, I'll never grow tired of it.
Sheesh, I can't believe this song has slipped back so far back in my mind that I'm this happy that someone mentioned it. I probably like the video that goes with it just as much as the song. If you haven't seen it, it's for the yays.
-
In answer to the title, i could listen to any song from Trouble in Dreams continuously.
-
Wolf Parade - "Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts" and "I'll Believe in Anything", back-to-back for FOREVER would work.
Holy crap you are right.
I would also take:
several LCD Soundsystem songs: previously mentioned "All My Friends" (and/or either Franz Ferdinand's or John Cale's version), "New York I Love You," and maybe "Tribulations" and/or "Disco Infiltrator."
either "Pieces of the People We Love" or "Whoo! Alright Yeah... Uh Huh" by The Rapture, or a combination of the two.
any of "Loud Pipes," "Wildcat" and "Seventeen Years" by Ratatat.
pretty much any post-Series of Sneaks song by Spoon. Seriously. But mostly "Don't You Evah."
Stars' "In Our Bedroom After the War," tracks 2-10, on shuffle repeat. But that's another topic altogether.
previously mentioned "Equus" by Blonde Redhead.
"Harder Better Faster Stronger" by Daft Punk and any incarnation thereof (e.g., the mashup on "Around the World" from Alive 2007).
"Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand.
"D.A.N.C.E." by Justice.
"Anyone" by Moving Units.
"Portions for Foxes" by Rilo Kiley.
"I Was Born (A Unicorn)" by The Unicorns.
"Raised by Wolves" by Voxtrot.
-
Could you really listen to Fade Into You on repeat?
It's a gorgeous song, but in anything more than small doses it starts having messed up effects on my mood.
-
Oh man, Mazzy Star.
I could listen to the first three tracks on Among My Swan forever. ("Disappear", "Flowers In December", "Rhymes of an Hour")
-
I was drunk last night and too lazy to fix my then-freezing iTunes, so I listened to "Blister in the Sun" over and over again for like an hour. It rocked.
-
I definitely forgot The Stone Roses on my list. But for me, it'd be 'I am the Resurrection' playing from here until Doomsday. :)
-
I was drunk last night and too lazy to fix my then-freezing iTunes, so I listened to "Blister in the Sun" over and over again for like an hour. It rocked.
Are you serious?
I mean, its a fun song, but for an hour? Most people I know, myself included, would go completely fucking bat-shit insane if they did that.
-
"Conceptual Separation of Self" by Faraquet is a pretty awesome song. I don't think I'd get sick of it for quite some time.
-
I'm also adding Fools Gold by the Stone Roses. I could dance to that forever.
I would alternate that song with My Bloody Valentine's "Soon".
On a couple good pills of Ecstasy, those two songs could last all night and into the morning.
-
Guys, Thriller.
-
The chorus of Dead or Alive- You Spin Me 'Round.
:meatspinsmiley:
-
Excellent song, but I don't know about infinite repeat. I was listening to Ashes Against the Grain and The Mantle for about two or three days straight this summer though.
I agree with that. Ashes Against the Grain in particular didn't leave my playlist for about a week straight. I could probably listen to them for a very long time; I dunno about a particular song.
-
1/1 of Music for Airports.
qft
Also: "My Little Corner of the World" by Yo La Tengo, only instead of listening continuously, you'd listen to it, then sit in silence for a few hours, then listen to it again, etc.
"Tender" - Blur
"Brown Skin Lady" - Black Star
"Romeo Is Bleeding" - Tom Waits
"Manchasm" - Future of the Left
"Dreams" - TVOTR
"Die, Die My Darling" - Misfits
"Return the Gift" - Gag of Four
"Sense of Doubt," "Moss Garden," and "Neuköln" - David Bowie looped in sequence
"Age of Consent" - New Order
"Reprovisional" - Fugazi
"Ceremony" - Joy Division or New Order
"Fascination Street" - The Cure
-

Some of their songs, listening to them once would count as a long time :-D

My friend Kelly and I listened to Buster Poindexter's "Feelin Hot Hot Hot" at full volume for three hours straight. It was hilarious! (To us.) (At the time.)
-
something by Boards of Canada
-
Buster Poindexter's "Feelin Hot Hot Hot"
Can we all agree to never mention Buster Poindexter on these boards again?
It just makes me so damn sad, you know?
-
something by Boards of Canada
You're thinking of "Everything You Do is a Balloon" and yes, it's the best song ever made.
-
^What album is that from?
Also: De La Soul - Eye Know
-
Both Boc Maxima and the Hi Scores EP.
-
Oh I've got another one: I could probably live with listening to When Your Heartstrings Break by Beulah on repeat.
-
YOU SPIN ME ROUND ROUND, LIKE A RECORD BABY
-
Buster Poindexter's "Feelin Hot Hot Hot"
Can we all agree to never mention Buster Poindexter on these boards again?
It just makes me so damn sad, you know?
Hey, if a REALLY LAME but successful career for David Johansen means that a bastardized version of the New York Dollls can reform, look really old on stage, and put out stupid shit simply for the money what was I saying again?
-
Death is the Road to Awe- Clint Mansell
Close to the Edge- Yes
-
King of the Rodeo - Kings of Leon
Just such a chaotic, melodic song. INSANELY CATCHY, too.
Also, Radio, Radio, by Elvis Costello. No explanation necessary.
-
Otis Redding's Otis Blue album is perfect for repeated plays.
-
The latest is Sails Of Charon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5r16oIOfXY), by the Scorpions. I just fucking love it.
Prior to that would have been Floods (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59ECtfLlZcQ) by Pantera. I chopped the outro out and put it on repeat once, and listened to it for an hour.
-
Last summer I had an obsession with these songs:
Equus - Blonde Redhead
Strength of Strings - This Mortal Coil
From Darkest Skies - My Dying Bride
I and I Survive - Bad Brains
in that order. Now all I want to listen to is the album Wings of Joy, by The Cranes.
-
For my pick I'm going to go with Arabesque by Salyu, not because it's that awesome a song (even though I do love that song) but because it has this hypnotic quality that kind of puts me in a Zen state of passive lucidity.
-
Sea Anemone - Jets to Brazil
It is my healing song, I guess.
-
The Arabian Dance Suite from the Nutcracker, by Tchaikovsky of course. I also listen to Six Gnossiennes No 1: Lent on loop quite often. For more modern music, "Wolf Like Me" and "Staring at the Sun" by TV on the Radio often get played on repeat.
-
The Arabian Dance Suite from the Nutcracker, by Tchaikovsky of course. I also listen to Six Gnossiennes No 1: Lent on loop quite often. For more modern music, "Wolf Like Me" and "Staring at the Sun" by TV on the Radio often get played on repeat.
I feel like a lot of Satie's earlier piano stuff is catchy and unobtrusive enough to work really, really well on loop, though none perhaps as well as the Gnossiennes.
-
My most recent obsession has been "Sinews" by Drive Like Jehu.
-
Def. love that Staring at the sun!
Radiohead "True Love Waits"
Pavement "Silent Kid"
Neutral Milk Hotel "Aeroplane Over the Sea"
Flaming Lips "The Tale of the Horny Frog"
Lightspeed Champion "Lost Galaxy"
There are many more.
-
Garth Brooks - The Dance
Blue Rodeo - Dark Angel
Gary Jules - Mad World
Andy McKee - Drifting
Godsmack - Voodoo
-
I've been listening to It's Never Been Like That by Phoenix way too often lately, especially Long Distance Call. So...Damn...Catchy.....
-
The answer might be "Fight The Power," I think.
-
I just had elephant Gun by beirut on my moodbox in myspace.
-
4'33" is the only song I wouldn't be absolutely sick of by the end of a single day of said loop.
-
Reconstruction Site - The Weakerthans. Basically the whole album, but the song of the same name is, according to iTunes, the song I have listened to the most.
Actually, mostly anything by The Weakerthans.
The Pokemon Theme. Gets me every damn time. I wanna be the very best like no one ever was.
-
Btw.
Le Tigre - Deceptacon
It. Never. Gets. Old.
-
Anything by The Weakerthans.
That. The song "Heretics" by Andrew Bird never seems to get old, AND IT'S SO DAMN CATCHY.
-
Nearly any Daft Punk song. Seriously, I can loop Robot Rock or Technologic, and I have no idea if it's starting, stopping, whatever, it could go on forever, and I wouldn't even notice.
Other songs that I have left on repeat for ridiculous amounts of time:
-The Bill Nye the Science Guy theme song
-Banana Phone - Raffi
-Straight Ahead - Tube and Berger
-
I would alternate that song with My Bloody Valentine's "Soon".
On a couple good pills of Ecstasy, those two songs could last all night and into the morning.
OH YES. :-D
I just noticed that most of the songs that I can keep on repeat for long periods of time are also songs that I enjoy dancing (looking like an idiot) to.
-
http://studenthome.nku.edu/~russelljo/flash/dudefalling.swf
-
Do you you do the dance?
I think you do the dance.
Yes, yes I do.
-
I've been listening to mostly "The Mirror" by Dream Theater, for the past week. And could continue doing so for a long long time.
-
'Land has never seemed further' by This is a Process of a Still Life at the moment.
-
In circles by Sunny Day Real Estate. And it is not a pun. I really can listen to it over and over and over, in a loop.
-
i think Seven is better for that, the guitar tone in the verse is so breathtaking.
-
I Want To Conquer The World by Bad Religion
No song has given me more joy. I hope it continues into my 30s.
-
"Don't Panic" By Coldplay.
It's only 2:19, but it's a short song of goodity-goodness.
-
"Give Me One Reason" By Tracy Chapman. Classic amazing song, it's so soothing.
Also, "Fast Car" is a pretty awesome one too. I wouldn't mind listening to that one on repeat.
-
Who are you people?
-
I accidentally posted this in the wrong thread:
Young, Loud and Scotty - Lifetime
Do You Still Hate Me? - Jawbreaker
Chesterfield King - Jawbreaker
Anything by Latterman
Plea from a Cat Named Virtute - the Weakerthans
Another Nothing - Operation: Cliff Clavin
Brick Wall Views - the Lawrence Arms
Kind of Like Smitten - the Ergs
Oh Susquehanna! - Defiance, Ohio
-
The Logical Song.
-
"Give Me One Reason" By Tracy Chapman. Classic amazing song, it's so soothing.
I could go the rest of my life without ever hearing that one. I'm pretty sure it's because I'm forced to listen to stations that play the same 25 songs repeatedly at my job. My top 4 in terms of times played according to my itunes are...
Holland, 1945- nmh
Frontier Psychiatrist- The Avalanches
Ride into the Sun- VU
Spirit Ditties of No Tone- Deerhoof
However, White Light/White Heat hasn't left my turntable in nearly 1 month, so any track off there too. I'll say Sister Ray in a nailbiter.
-
For right now, they are:
Everyone Choose Sides - The Wrens
Dirtywhirl - TV On The Radio
Two-Headed Boy, Untitled - Neutral Milk Hotel
-
Recently: Could Well Be In by The Streets (thank you Jackie)
-
Newest song of the now: Calcutta by Hopewell. That is some great guitar tone right there, bright and jangly while still maintaining a sharp edge of crunch.
-
nowadays: eels - novocaine for the soul
and elliott smith - roman candle
-

and elliot smith - roman candle
Two 't's in Elliott, just so you know. :-D
I get nitpicky about my favorite artists.
-
damn, man, somebody else corrected me about that today and i still did it.
thanks.
-
No worries.
You appreciate Elliott, so I forgive you.
-
On the topic of the Eels- I remember I used to be able to listen to Trouble With Dreams on repeat for hours.
Guys, take it to PMs if you're not contributing something that applies to more than one person.
-
i think Seven is better for that, the guitar tone in the verse is so breathtaking.
Definitely on my list. Along with Pillars.
-
Brick Wall Views - the Lawrence Arms
I'm that way with "Disaster March".
-
i think Seven is better for that, the guitar tone in the verse is so breathtaking.
Definitely on my list. Along with Pillars.
Circles actually blew. Pillars was a good song, infact, I remember thinking that a lot of the third album was inspired. Nowadays, I think I spent far too much time listening to that band.
Edit: I say 'nowadays' because I'm not 15 anymore.
-
Also, "Fast Car" is a pretty awesome one too. I wouldn't mind listening to that one on repeat.
I like listening to that on repeat when doing origami. Also "Ragas in Minor Scale" by Ravi Shankar and Philip Glass, I find it quite beautiful.
-
Recently: Could Well Be In by The Streets (thank you Jackie)
:-)
-
Down to Rest (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtdmPN0WJM0) by O'Death. They did a performance on my campus last semester and I really enjoyed them. It's kinda hard to describe exactly why, but I just love their sound.
-

See, I spent far too little time listening to this band. I think I'll happily spend the rest of my life making up for it. I love these guys with all my musical heart. <3

I could go the rest of my life without ever hearing that one. I'm pretty sure it's because I'm forced to listen to stations that play the same 25 songs repeatedly at my job. My top 4 in terms of times played according to my itunes are...
I can totally understand that. My work plays a new country station ALL THE TIME and I have to refrain from flipping out when I hear "Jesus Take the Wheel" for the 4th time in my shift D:
-
Memory Leak by Nadja comes to mind straight away. So many layers, so long. SO AWESOME. Also their Thaumogenesis song/album, it's one hour long so It'd take a while to get bored of it.
Sigur Ros's Untitled #4, #6 and #8.
That's it, really. Too tired to provide any discussion on them or witty comments.
-
Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy (probably my favourite song ever), and Wildlife Analysis (all the really good BOC songs are less than a minute long)
My Bloody Valentine - Come in Alone
Les Savy Fav - Hello Halo, Goodbye Glands
Tricky - Suffocated Love
Wire - Dot Dash
-
The Knack - My Sharona
-
After listening to old Explosions In the Sky, I have to say I could listen to that for a long time and be very very happy.
Oceansize do the same job but with some catchy vocals.
Dream Theater's Octavarium Lap steel guitar build up is also very listenable :mrgreen:
-
I think there was a period of something like three or four weeks, where I did not take Built to Spill's Keep It Like a Secret out of the CD player in my car. I could listen to that album for forever.
-
oH! Yes. Enthusiasm for Keep It Like a Secret is self-replicating.
-
Klaus Flouride's Akiko. That song is the soundtrack to my late nights. No matter what I'm doing, it works. It's quiet and builds slowly, and is great for studying, reading, lying inert, having sex, anything.
-
My current fix is AmAnSet's "New Drifters II".
-
Funny how posts like this get people to actually sign up for the forum! :-o
Some songs I've been addicted to lately:
Big Wreck - That Song
Rush - Far Cry
Cake - The Distance
Faith no More - epic
Incubus - Just a Phase
Anberlin - Godspeed
Pearl jam - Even Flow
Ra - Sky
-
He's going the DISTANCE.. he's going for SPEEEEEED
-
Funny how posts like this get people to actually sign up for the forum! :-o
Yeah, I KNOW HUH
"Handpocket" by Best Friends Forever
Even before I ever heard it "Chores" by Animal Collective was the song repeating in my head. It just took some weird guys named Panda Bear and Avey Tare to make it real.
-

Mkay, first I would like to start off by saying that I do have a somewhat obsessive personality, so I do listen to songs on pretty endless loops a loooot. Also my boyfriend tells me I have horrible taste in music, so anyone who feels the same, it's cool, I just know what my brain thinks is amazing. I'm also pretty easily pleased.
Keane- Somewhere only we know (I have listened to this over 150 times in one day...), and almost anything off of Hopes and Fears, Untitled 1 did not make my ears happy
30 Seconds to mars - The Kill, Was it a Dream
Snow Patrol - Headlights
Relient K - Come Right Out and Say it
My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words
Motion City Soundtrack - Feel Like Rain
Maximo Park - Kiss You Better
The Killers - Jenny Was a Friend of Mine
Jeph Jacques - Homage Du Hum (I'm not a silly fangirl I swear, it's just really nice to listen to)
Hot Hot Heat - Goodnight Goodnight
Jason Mraz - Clockwatching
Fountains of Wayne - I-95
Five for Fighting - Superman
Fall Out Boy - I've Got All This Ringing in My Ears But None on My Fingers
Fair to Midland - The Wife the Kids and the White Picket Fence
Death Cab for Cutie - Passenger Seat
Coldplay - yeah I could listen to anything by coldplay forever and be happy... If I had to name one song it would be Trouble
BOYS LIKE GIRLS - Thunder
Auqualung - Easier to Lie
Anberlin - The Unwinding Cable Car
The All-American Rejects - Dance Inside
The Postal Service - Nothing Better
Panic! at the Disco - Build God, Then We'll Talk
Yeah I'm just a little emo kid inside. >.>

The current usage of the term "emo" will never stop bothering or ever seem funny to me.
See this (http://"http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,18721.0.html") thread. But don't post in it, because it's dead.

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas, Fifty-Fifty Clown, Otterley, Lazy Calm, The Thinner the Air etc.
Jesus, they could become my favorite band soon. Going to buy "Garlands", their debut, next.

That link isn't working for me sorry.
What is it supposed to lead me to?
Also, I don't think I'm emo, I use the term as that's what my family and friends all called me in highschool because of some of the music I listen to. Actually the term was really kind of bastardized from what it started as, it bothers me how the current meaning has become such a common place thing. I mean my Mom knows what it is...what the crap?

Somehow the link got corrupted in his post. We had a discussion on what emo is.
-
Ahh mkay, Yeah I know what emo was comparatively to what it is now.
I read the wiki on it one day when I was bored. Not saying that means I know it all but I get the general idea.
-
However, White Light/White Heat hasn't left my turntable in nearly 1 month, so any track off there too. I'll say Sister Ray in a nailbiter.
Isn't that a Social Distortion album?
-

Well the wiki page isn't exactly accurate at all. Their stuff about Jimmy Eat World and all that is horrendously inaccurate.
But as long as you know that what's going around nowadays isn't emo but probably pop-punk/pop-rock, you should be okay.
-
It was like 2 years ago when I read it so it might be different now because I don't remember reading anything about Jimmy Eat World at all.
I do grasp the concept of what it was at that point in time though.
-
Candlebox-10,000 Horses
The song is like, ten years old, but it's a classic. The album in general is just amazing.
The Starting Line- The Best of Me
The band itself isn't so much my cup of tea, but the acoustic version is quite addicting.
Oomph!-Träumst Du
Beautiful song, if you know the translations it makes it so much better. The harmony in the chorus is the icing on the chocolate covered strawberry cake.
-

Velvet. Underground.
-
Ow, hey! I figured that out, eventually, when I was reading about them on Wikipedia after downloading The Velvet Underground & Nico.
I could listen to "Tonight I Have to Leave It" and "Very Loud" by the Shout Out Louds on repeat, for hours and hours.
-

Yeah, I remember senior year I listened to WL/WH every single night, and usually during the day
-
Last fall, I did this with "Leave You Far Behind" by Lunatic calm for two or three weeks. I got pretty sick of it at the end, though.
Occasionally I'll do this with "Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse. I may never get tired of that song, as long as I don't overdose on it.
When I want to feel numb or if I'm vacuuming, I'll put some My Chemical Romance on infinite loop. The most recent song of theirs that I've done that with is "The Sharpest Lives". Before that was "Teenagers".
About a year ago I did that with "Ain't Nothing Wrong with That" by Robert Randolph and the Family Band.

Hi there. Just so you're aware, images in your signature are generally frowned upon. I made the same mistake when I started, and I pretty much got yelled at. Of course, it was a pretty huge image, but regardless, I'm told they waste bandwidth and therefor we don't like them.

Montt Mardie- Travelers
Short and catchy. That is pretty much what you need.
-
I could probably do this with most of the Apologies to the Queen Mary album by Wolf Parade, especially It's a Curse.
I also did this once with Spin Me Right Round (Like a Record) by Dead or Alive. I think it may have broken my brain somewhere inside.
-
I could definitely listen to Holland 1945 by Neutral Milk Hotel, or Lola by the Kinks.
Lola is just wayyyy to catchy for its own good.

Jaws of Life - Wintersleep
WHY IS IT SO SHORT???

Off the top of my head, songs I've recently played 3+ times in a row...

The Black Heart Procession - It's a Crime I Never Told You About the Diamonds in Your Eyes
Talking Heads - Crosseyed and Painless
Hot Chip - Over and Over (it's funny because it's true)
However, I will admit that any of those songs played on an infinite loop would probably render me insane.
-
I think this dosen't count as a song on infinite loop, but i can bounce this one over a few people.
People say they could lsiten to me playing guitar infinitely, just leave me with my guitar as I just invent continouslly.
Songs I can lsiten to are .... ambient pieces, things that will not go out of their way to grab my attention, they are jsut there as ... life to my.. life... closest I could get is probably the Total annihilation soundtrack.
I mean I can listen to game music but, only two g ames have ever got me that I have in fact lsitened to it for several hours and not notivced, I've not got bored of it, or sick.. its just there.. adding to my imagination.
Examples of this to get your own view.
Total annihilation - Orchaestral pieces, made for a game. Here is the link for the entire album! (Free!!!)

Silent Hill, oh dear me this ones more difficult, how can I find the songs I lsiten to...hmm, let me look...
right its difficult to find so im going to list several youtube videos featuring snippets of the music. (I do apologise)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvnoMPode6E&feature=related (Not so bad nice calm piece)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vC2dKg4Kh4&feature=related (Brilliant, when you hear the steel hitting, thats one of my more favorite pieces, its actually "Mangled Corpses" .. or is it "Invisible monster"... its one or the other. Brilliant when your alone and dark, freaks me the hell out and takes me ages to figure out its what im lsitening to. I mean you sit lreading forums and suddenly you get chills down your back and your like ..wtf man? then you remember your listening to horror music, classic.
-
DAMN
Right now it's "Carolina Drama" by the Raconteurs. Can't get enough of it.
-
It would have to be a very long song. I'd nominate Jesu's Sun Down, Nadja's Thaumogenesis and definitely Sleep's Dopesmoker as songs that I could keep on listening too ( and I guess the entire The Angelic process discography).
-
Lately I am listening to Akira Yamaoka's "Waiting for you", "Room of Angel" and Skinny Puppy's "Shore Lined Poision" and "Grave Wisdom" without end.
-
I have listened to Pharoah's Dance by Miles Davis multiple times back to back so many times I can't even guess.
-
i can listen to interpol's "obstacle 1" in an infinite loop till the end of time
call me crazy
-
I believe all bands should have twin lead guitars
Well, duh.
-
I usually find myself listening to Dracula's Cigarette by Spoon on repeat.
-
the last couple minutes of "on every street" by dire straits always make me feel like i am floating away to somewhere peaceful. if i could somedays i would just listen to that until my batteries were dead
heres the song skip forward to the 3:15 mark
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYBHKNiqxXE
-
At the moment, it's
Of Montreal - The Past Is A Grotesque Animal
and
MGMT - Time to Pretend
and
I Was A Cub Scout - Pink Squares.
-
This here list is very likely INCOMPLETE.
Like Spinning Plates - Radiohead (If you have audio-editing software, make a reversed copy of the song and play them endlessly together, it's worth it)
Purple Toupee - TMBG
Re: Stacks - Bon Iver
Alcohol - Beck (I should probably create a second list for all the Beck songs I could listen to endlessly)
Red Rabbits or The Past And Pending - The Shins
Mutiny, I Promise You - The New Pornographers
You Was It - Spoon (This selection does in fact make me a freaking freakity freak-freak)
See These Bones - Nada Surf
When The Water Comes To Life - Cloud Cult (Actually, any cloud cult song)
Chicago (Multiple Personality Disorder Version) - Sufjan Stevens
All The Dirt - Mike Doughty (This selection does in fact make me MORE of a freaking freakity freak-freak)
There's No Home For You Here - The White Stripes
Fly Trapped In A Jar - Modest Mouse
-
the entirety of yankee hotel foxtrot. tweedy, you made a perfect album. you must be given due props. and i could probably listen to the demos all day too if there wasn't some notable stinkers. not for the season, i'm looking at you.
um, i tend to listen to music on an infinite loop anyway, but here's some that are in my current "constant" rotation:
"you're so pretty ... " - field music
"abracadabra" - steve miller band (fuck you all)
"my oldest memory" - bowerbirds
"at dawn" - my morning jacket (and has been for the past five years)
"the other side" - dismemberment plan
"the black ice cream song" - mountain goats
"every artist needs a tragedy" - no age (didn't get them till i saw it live. now i'm hooked.)
"whispers into the other" - why?
"island's gone bad" - shapes and sizes
"wild mountain nation" - blitzen trapper
"cruel minor change" - beulah
-
So do I
I was listening to today Aereogramme - My heart has a wish that you would not go!
I could happily listen to that for a very long time
-
"My Kimono" by Polvo
Oh jesus
-
Nightwish - The islander. It's totally awesome. I love the tune in it.
-
The one and only "Paper Tiger" by Helios.
I don't even need to live, just listen to that and I'm pure being.
-
'How To Disappear Completely' (Radiohead)
I go on and off the rest of the songs but I could listen to that one ad infinitum no problem.
I have to agree, but Idioteque and Street Spirit (Fade Out) both fit into this category.
-
Circa Survive - Suspending Disbelief
Daitro - Laisser Vivre Les Squalettes
Slum Village - Call Me
Binary Star - Reality Check
Black Milk - Popular Demand
Mobb Deep - The Start Of Your Ending
Prodigy of Mobb Deep - The Life or Genesis
-
"All Around My Hat" by Steeleye Span. Man I love that song.
I still remember sit there playing my dad's vinyl copy over and over again.
-
poet and the Pendulum- by nightwish :-(
Robot/Sympathy- by the flaming lips :-)
Brainville- flaming lips :roll:
Do you realize?- Flaming Lips :angel:
(currently listening to that last)
-
'You suffer' by Napalm death. I could listen that track at least 500 times without stopping.
What would you do for the rest of your lunch hour, though?
Nice to see shouts for Steeleye Span and especially the Butthole Surfers. I first heard "Pepper" about three months ago. Four days later it was on the top of my Last.FM list.
Other songs I listen to far too much or not enough:
Neko Case - most of Fox Confessor Brings The Flood and Blacklisted, but Hold On, Hold On in particular
Laika - Prairie Dog
Porcupine Tree - Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape (both the 10m instrumental and the 22m vocal versions)
VNV Nation - Perpetual
Cowboy Junkies - Blue-Eyed Saviour
-
Falling Snow - Agalloch
Mortal Share - Insomnium
Captain Morgan's Revenge - Alestorm
Never Far Away - Aces High
Edge of Sanity's cover of Black Tears
Wolf Parade - California Dreamer
Jethro Tull - Hunting Girl (probably)
Bloc Party - Uniform (sue me)
Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies
Fragmenta - Pandemonium
Eeeh there're probably a few more. And I'm one of those "Gotta have tons of music so I don't have to hear anything twice" people.
-
"You! Me! Dancing!" by Los Campesinos!
SO FUCKING AWESOME.
