Had to reset my itunes two years ago....this wins easily since then...love this fuckin song

 

[Postman Dave]

I never would have thought your most played song would involve Lil Jon. Aoki and Luke, yes, Jon, no.

And that Everclear song is pure cringe, good shout.

Day 11 - a song from an album that has your favourite album art

My favourite album cover of all time is this one from Led Zeppelin...

Mainly because you can pull out the insert and different things will appear in all the windows of the building. Now THAT'S cool! Here's a tune from that album....

I don't use iTunes so yeah, I'm not really sure how to go about doing this one so here's a song that I'm sure I've listened to more than anything else in the past several months....

Day 15 (Nov 14th)- a song from your primary school days

Half way through!

I'm gonna choose this one as I have a distinct memory of a talent show where people (both boys and girls) mimed along to this song about seven times in total. To say I was sick of it come the end of the show would be an understatement

[Fuji Vice]

I'm sick of that song without even hitting play!

Day 13 - a song that you'd like to be able to play on guitar

If I could play like anyone, it would be John Fahey, possibly the most underrated guitarist who ever lived...

Day 14 - a song from your most recently bought album

Day 15 - a song from your primary school days

I'm struggling as to whether this is supposed to be a song we sang in school or a song that was on the radio during the time. I'm going with the second choice and here it is....

[Postman Dave]

Right, got some catching up to do.

Day 16 (Nov 15th)- a song that your parents introduced you to

My Mum is a huge fan of this band, so I got brought up on a healthy music diet of rock & roll royalty.

Day 17 (Nov 16th)- a song with someones name as the title

Would've gone "Sadie" by Alkaline Trio but I've already used them twice, so instead:

Day 18 (Nov 17th)- a song that describes how you are feeling right now

Because being positive is so much more fun:

Day 19 (Nov 18th)- a song that you told your friends to listen to, but they didn't understand why you thought it was so good

don't hate

 

[Fuji Vice]

Catch up time for me as well....

Day 16 - a song that your parents introduced you to

Both my parents were DJ's at their University radio station so I grew up listening to a lot of music. It would be really hard for me to pick only one song but the first one that came to mind was this little ditty...

[video=youtube;JBgaf5gXJcc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBgaf5gXJcc[/video]

Day 17 - a song with someones name as the title

As usual, I'm going with the first one that came to mind....

Day 18 - a song that describes how you are feeling right now

Not only is it how I'm feeling right now, its a way to work in this fucking Canadian classic into this whole thing too. Double bonus!

Day 19 - a song that you told your friends to listen to, but they didn't understand why you thought it was so good

Here's one that not only was I shocked by nobody else liking it but also at the total lack of success that the band achieved. They're at least as good as The Killers so why they never hit big remains a mystery to me.
