Songs you think everyone should have on their MP3 players?

^ Topic

Doesn't mater if it's Rap, Country, Jpop, Game OST's or even Polka.
I'll start it off;

R. Kelly - I Believe I Can Fly

[seba_boi]

Hmm.... You like that song?...


"Don't Dream It's Over" - Crowded House (or the Sixpence Non The Richer version)

[ryushe]

"Incomplete" - Sisqo

[Rain]

"Lemon Tree" - Fool's Garden

R. Kelly - I Believe I Can Fly

I have that.

"Don't Dream It's Over" - Crowded House (or the Sixpence Non The Richer version)

I have the better version, the Sixpence None the Richer version.

[seba_boi]

I have the better version, the Sixpence None the Richer version.I love both versions equally...

I like the fading act of the Sixpence version, but I also like the lasting "don't let them win" lines from the Crowded House version...



"Canon In D Major" - Pachelbel (preferrably the Evangelion Strings Orchestra version)...

[Delta-Pheonix]

Livin on a prayer - Bon Jovi

[Soluzar]

"Don't Dream It's Over" - Crowded House (or the Sixpence Non The Richer version)
I heard that song on the radio while I was on my way home last night. Just as I was passing by some place. I've not heard it in years, then you mention it the day after I hear it. Bizarre.

Nobody's MP3 collection is complete without some Hawkwind. Personally I think you need a whole album to get the full effect, so I'll nominate The Warrior on the Edge of Time.

[ryushe]

"Free Bird" - Lynyrd Skynyrd

I can thank Guitar Hero II for this gem.

[Woooh]

Fury of the Storm - DragonForce

Ultimate song to rock out to in a car with friends.

I heard that song on the radio while I was on my way home last night. Just as I was passing by some place. I've not heard it in years, then you mention it the day after I hear it. Bizarre.

I'm glad this song is getting a little more attention that I'd think... ;)

I'm a karaoke fan, you see... Whenever we get to one, I sing these little forgotten favourites now and again that's guaranteed to garner attention... The ones where the tune is in the back of your head but you got no clue what the title was then when people hear goes, "Ah! So that's what that song is"....

"Don't Dream It's Over," "Eternal Flame" (Bangles), "Two Princes" (Spin Doctors), Sukiyaki (4 PM), "Someday" (Sugar Ray, yup it's a sing-along), "We Didn't Start The Fire" (Billy Joel--surefire attention grabber in my case), "September" (Earth, Wind, And Fire), "Light And Shade" (Fra Lippo Lippi)...
