[Troy Spiral (13)]

I care about so many different types of music for so many different reasons its almost painful to click on the add reply button on these kinds of topics.

I'll try not to wuss out and give a blanket non-comittial , "safe" list. God damn talk about a hard question. Would be litterally impossible i think to really list off specificly my "top 10 favorite songs" as it dosn't exist. What my "favorites" are change constantly.

Often many "favorites" get pushed to the back burner due to being played so often and thus ones that might not have , as long of "shelflife" might get listed over ones that , despite being active favorites for a long time, are currently in disuse.

Currently fairly high on the troy-rotation list:

The Sparrow And The Nightingales - Wolfshiem

I'll Fall With Your Knife - Peter Murphy

My Beloved - VNV Nation

Wreath of Barbs - Wumpscut

Only Time - Enya

American Music - Violent Femmes

The Night Hank Williams Came to Town - Johnny Cash

Where Is My Mind? - The Pixies

Seven Spanish Angels - Ray Charles (with w. nelson)

We Are One - Project Pitchfork

[LuluVox]

my top ten are all Smiths songs.

And just for the hell of it, because I'm obsessed like that...

Top 10 Favorite Smiths Songs (in no order, that would be cruel):

I Know It's Over

Handsome Devil

These Things Take Time

Panic

London

Unloveable

Stretch Out And Wait (Louder Than Bombs version)

Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

Well I Wonder

I could do ten solo-Morrissey songs, too, but I guess I've been self-indulgent enough already. At least for now.

[Fierce Critter]

Siouxsie and the Banshees: Israel

I almost put that on my list, but I'm not listening to it in heavy rotation right now.

That song may very well be responsible for my step into the world of Goth. It was playing the first time I worked up the courage to go into Penny Pincher the first time. I still remember how it felt, walking around, hearing that song, smelling the incense they had brewing...

Gads, I miss that place.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yet another perfectly good reason to love Troy Spiral.

[Paper Hearts]

This morning I rediscovered 'Burn like a Fire in Cairo' (Cure) for the first time since about 28th, April. Actually, Boys Don't Cry (speaking in terms of the album) holds vast integrity as a piece for me-I find the songs seem much better if you listen to it straight through-the way it is arranged is fine art in itself...maybe there should be a new topic for everyone's "top 10" albums...

[Fierce Critter]

I like to listen to that one straight through, too.

I have an anecdote about that album, which I'll spare you from unless you wanna hear it. It's mildly amusing, and shows what a dumbshit I could be in my day.

[gothicmom]

WE WANNA HEAR!!!

WE WANNA HEAR!!!

WE WANNA HEAR!!!

[Fierce Critter]

Far be it from me to disappoint you...

In my senior year (1986), the most I'd heard of The Cure were the songs Let's Go To Bed, and Close To Me. I had probably also heard "Boy's Don't Cry" but didn't know who it was or hadn't heard it very often.

It was one of those things that I THOUGHT I'd really like them a lot, but didn't have $$ for buying records at the time. So I only knew what I heard on the radio.

Anyway, there was this kid in some of my classes who was originally from England. He was quite the new waver, and being a fledgeling NW'er myself, we hit it off good. Being a bit low on self-esteem, one thing I used to do that makes me roll my eyes now was to exaggerate my knowledge of certain things, and with him, I did so with The Cure - acting like I'd been a fan for YEARS.

Well, I was in a band for a while, and he said he was, too. (I was actually telling the truth on that one.) He gave me a tape of what he said was his band playing, and I took it home and really enjoyed it. I remember telling him how I especially liked that "F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O" song, and remember him getting a big smile on his face. I thought I'd really flattered him.

Then, in 1990, I got into The Cure VERY heavily, starting with Disintegration, which had just come out, and slowly accumulating more of their back catalog over the next year. Eventually, I picked up the "Boys Don't Cry" album. Upon first listen, I realized that the tape of this guy's "band" was actually a poorly dubbed tape of the Cure album. He knew I was BS'ing on the extent of my knowledge, and TOTALLY burned me - and I didn't realize it until 4 years later.

I actually ran into him on the streets of Detroit within that year or so, and told him I'd finally picked up a copy of "Boys Don't Cry". He immediately smiled and laughed, remembering how good he'd tricked me.
