Recommend One Song to Download

[matty_f]

Got a great app for Android called Gtunes which is a search engine for mp3's and allows you to download the tracks you find.

So, if you had a restriction of only being able to recommend one song to someone to download, what would it be?

I'll go for The Boy With The Arab Strap, by Belle and Sebastian.

How about The boy with the leather strap (and red arse) by The Mackems

:slipper:

Or Back in Black by AC/DC

[degenerated]

i'll plump for D.O.A and Jello Biafra - Full Metal Jackoff (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7346670626263173458#)

at 14 minutes long you get your moneys worth :greengrin

Arab Strap - The Shy Retirer.

Not only is it one of my favourite songs, it also continues the sex toy theme on this thread. Winner!

[BroxburnHibee]

Pretty difficult to pick one song but I was blown away by Glasvegas first time I heard them and still love listening to them.

Any track would do but I'll go for this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgKZR6SGF7I&feature=relate) :thumbsup:

New album out soon as well - fingers crossed.

I absolutely love Glasvegas... Seen them several times, including at T in the Park in 08 when they played in the Future's Tent which has a very very small capacity. Ended up with the place packed, the tent closed and no room to really move. Was fantastic. Next year they played King Tut's tent, and covered Sunshine on Leith, unreal. Flowers and football tops is my personal favourite.

I do have one criticism of them though. Their first album was half class, half garbage. Hopefully their new one won't be like that.

Anyway, with threat of hijacking the thread, my tune to download would be Stay Lucky - The Gaslight Anthem.

[greenlex]

Last Summer in New York. The Saw Doctors.

The search on that one didn't bring up any results.

Couldn't find that one.

Possibly my favourite version of any song is Rufus Wainwright's version of Hallelujah. Predictable song but this version is :top marks in my opinion. Probably my favorutie ever song - will be played at my funeral.

Found here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR0DKOGco_o)

Funnily enough, I downloaded the leonard cohen version the night before last.

[matty_f]

Really liked the songs recommended so far, hadn't heard them before other than bits of the glasvegas song.

Very good choice :aok:

I'll go for The Dark Is Rising by Mercury Rev.

[stevie-bee]

I cant think of 1 song of the top of my head,

but have you tried Music Downloader pro for Andriod lots of results for your Search.

[MountcastleHibs]

I would recommend the whole American Slang album by the Gaslight Anthem. One of the best albums i've heard, and imo they're the best band around at the minute. Not a bad song on any of their three albums.

Sproston Green by The Charlatans......what a tune,especially live!

[Marabou Stork]

Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead

[Dunbar Hibee]

The Undertones - Family Entertainment

[.Sean.]

A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran

[sleeping giant]

L.A. Woman - The Doors :dj:

[JE89]

A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran

Great choice. Reminds me of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City

[H18SScottW]

A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran

Would find it difficult to choose between that and "Wishing (If I Had A Photograph of You)" ... two Eighties classics.

The one song I'd recommend to anyone though would be "Does This Train Stop On Merseyside" by Amsterdam. Love it.

[Dashing Bob S]

Vietnamistan - Alabama 3

[Speedy]

Not my favourite but I was just enjoying listening to this in the car:

Tracy Chapman - Talkin bout a revolution

Love this song.

[Houchy]

Heard a song on Telly a few weeks ago and "shazam'd" it. It was "as tears go by" by the Rolling Stones.:agree: Nice tune.

[stevie-bee]

what about this 1 great tune

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf5gGwGVaTk

[NOLA]

the temper trap - sweet disposition, great song, currently being heard on the centreparcs advert on the telly:thumbsup:

[Carheenlea]

Fujiya and Miyagi "ankle injuries"

pegboy - strong reaction (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7frMA6BuUEI)

[Bayern Bru]

I really liked the track recommended so will look up the rest off their stuff now.

Go for it - some fantastic tunes, echoes of the hold steady and springsteen.

59 sound, and high lonesome are the standouts for me on "the '59 sound" album. Also recommend Teddy Thompson, son of Richard Thompson and Linda Ronstadt. Try songs like "I should get up" and "jonathan's book."

[dHFCe]

Been listening to some old Mike Patton stuff. Didn't realise he was such a good singer.

Squares - The Beta Band

The Beta Band are ace!:thumbsup:

[AllyF]

Adele - Someone Like You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_Zs7XS3XUo)

Track from her new album, 21.

The best voice and song-writer of my generation, IMO.

[Groathillgrump]

Anna Calvi - Blackout

Be patient with the French guy's introduction, it's worth the wait.

Had my iPod on shuffle today, and i've no idea how I forgot about:

Warrant - Cherry Pie

Theory of a Deadman - I Hate My Life. The perfect tune to listen to when you're pissed off big time.

[The_Exile]

Possibly my favourite version of any song is Rufus Wainwright's version of Hallelujah. Predictable song but this version is :top marks in my opinion. Probably my favorutie ever song - will be played at my funeral.

Dunno why anyone bothered covering it after Jeff Buckley but Rufus Wainwright done a decent job, still not as good as Buckley though :greengrin

I'll plump for Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News, every time I hear it, I can't help but nod my head in approval al la the churchill dog "oh yes Huey, this is good"

[Sick Boy]

Really digging this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YboETF6ZHQ&feature=relmfu) at the moment. Great Aussie band.:thumbsup:

[Ryan91]

Simply for the sheer greatness and cheesiness and it's ability to make me smile no matter how many times I hear it, it has to be

You Make My Dream Come True by Hall & Oates (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_I4wtNPv5w)

[GhostofBolivar]

It's supposed to be listened to as a single track, so I'm gonna say this.

http://illegal-art.net/allday/

It's not family friendly, mind.

[YehButNoBut]

My favourite when pissed off is Break Stuff - Limp Bizkit

[Hiber-nation]

Capturing Moods by Rilo Kiley. Found it by accident - not my usual sort of stuff but can't stop playing it. Great album too (their best by far) - The Execution Of All Things.
