So, to quote Jay on this: "This is the best thing to happen to me musically since I discovered Bob Dylan."
Yes, it's a sickness, but I have felt the evolution of my music listening turn round and round.
So I want to make some good playlists and need some suggestions. The following playlist titles are in the works and I want recommendations for songs to put in each of them:
-Sad bastard songs - songs that basically are wallowy and just good for those broody days
-Screw you and your little dog too - revenge, breakup, angry, pissed, and kinda cranky
-Let's get it on - songs to knock boots to, but maybe more preferably to make out to. Kissage tunes are always a plus.
-Batmobile on a sunday afternoon - songs that are great for driving and all around fun, and this could morph into the dance mix as well... Batman and Robin Jungle Boogie maybe.... but never ever the Superman shuffle.
Please recommend. I love hearing what people have to say about music. Except you. Don't look behind you, you know who you are. Ah, ah, ah, no pouting. Just accept the truth.

Sad bastard song: "A Fond Farewell" Elliott Smith
Really any Elliott Smith song would fit this category
Screw you and your little dog too: "Styrofoam Plates" Death Cab For Cutie
A fantastic song about a death that couldn't come too soon. A sampling of the lyrics for you:
I won't join the procession that's speaking their peace,
using five dollar words while praising his integrity.
Just 'cause he's gone, it doesn't change that fact:
he was bastard in life, thus a bastard in death.
Let's get it on: "You Know You're Right" Nirvana
For whatever reason this song has always done it for me. Much like the missionary position, you stick with what's tried and true.
Batmobile on a sunday afternoon: "A Praise Chorus" Jimmy Eat World
Probably my favorite JEW song off what is hands-down their best album. Always fun to sing along with.
I have a few additions of my own to share...
Lazy, snowy afternoon song: "Valley Winter Song" Fountains Of Wayne
Anyone who knows what it's like to watch the snow fall through the window while in your pj's will enjoy this song.
Ashamed I listen to it in the car song: "Miss Independent" Kelly Clarkson
So I listen to Kelly Clarkson once in awhile, wanna fight about it? What can I say, if this song comes on the radio the channel surfing goes no further.
Re-make that's better than the original: "Against All Odds" The Postal Service
Ben Gibbard, Phil Collins ain't got nothin' on you.
