Recommend One Song to Download

***matty_f*** · 22-12-2010 09:22 PM

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

Or Back in Black by AC/DC

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** · 22-12-2010 10:39 PM

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.

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.

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

in my opinion. Probably my favorutie ever song - will be played at my funeral.

Found here

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

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

Very good choice

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

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

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.

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

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.
