Are you kidding me?

 

[The Panther]

Top 10 songs to listen to on headphones.

Not really sure how to go about this one.... but, I'm gonna try:

'Little Wing' by Jimi Hendrix (cool, left/right panning on some versions)
'Nowhere Man' by The Beatles in its crap stereo version (all vocals on one side = gives you a headache)
Side 1 of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells
'Darling Nikki' by Prince (don't want Mom to hear that "masturbating" line)
'I Want Your Sex' by George Michael (see above)
'Because' by The Beatles (those harmonies sound so good in stereo)
'Helplessly Hoping' by Crosby, Stills, and Nash (see above)
The 1988 version of 'Blue Monday' by New Order
'Do You Feel Loved' by U2 (bass is so high in the mix it also induces headaches)
'Radio Free Europe' by R.E.M. (need headphones to decipher what the hell he's saying)

Whew! That was hard work...

Interesting aside:

my first post in here was on Australian artists, a little under one year ago.

I've since then become over-saturated with Australian bands. Furthermore, I don't know if I was a little bit intoxicated or not when I made that list but I'd say it's even off for me one year ago considering I neglected The Temper Trap and I've been a fan of theirs for quite some time.

[nielsgov]

1 - 8. ( ) (8-4-1-7-6-3-2-5)
9. Interpol

That"s actually pretty close to my real top 10 I think.

Top 10 great songs with horrible lyrics.
