The Greatest Songs to Download

[Idaho]

Ok Blender just came out with their 1000 greatest songs to download and I think it's crap. 50% of the stuff on here is stuff you should BUY. Like U2 "One". If you're going to dl that song, go buy the whole album. To me downloading songs is about getting stuff that you would NEVER buy the entire cd. I use MP3s to make party mixes and for tunes to drive to. So list your best songs on MP3 that you have.

[KhanadaRhodes]

you didn't alphabetize the last few!

i wouldn't even know what to add, as i don't download that much. or can we include our legal mp3s, meaning the ones we ripped ourselves from legit cds we bought from real music stores?

 

[Idaho]

Yeah I added the last few as an after thought. I think you can include whatever you want. I posted this on another board and everyone there just kept listing off stuff that was like entire cds. I was like I think you kinda missed the point of MP3s....

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

oh okay. i think i'll list some tomorrow otherwise i may misread some of them. who knows, given my mental condition today.

Lemonheads - Big gay heart
Lulu - To Sir, with love

knowing nothing in life but to be legit,
don't quote me boy, I ain't said shit.
