Songs To Play Ad Infinitum

[LadyJaye]

Tell me about the music you play into the ground! I'm talking about a song that, if you were trapped in an elevator ( albeit a very cool elevator if it's playing tunes you love ), you wouldn't mind listening to repeatedly.


Lately, I've been playing " Pyramid" - Love of Diagrams a LOT, and "Black Betty" - Spiderbait. ( I just realised they were both Australian bands - hmmmm.) Anyway, let's here what you crank up until everyone around you wants to run from the room.

 

[Zergling]

"Tetsujin" on the matrix revolutions soundtrack

"Mona Lisa Overdrive" on the matrix reloaded soundtrack.

(Both of these are music for action scenes, so they might not work well on an elevator, but can be listened to over and over just fine.)

I guess it depends on what sort of mayhem you get into whilst trapped in an elevator, eh?

Trip Hop is good for endless repetitions.

I could listen to Evolva by Sort of Expression and The Garden by Silk Demise for quite a while before losing it.

As long as someone else is stuck with me in the elevator......something outdated yet embarrassingly catchy that I could dance stupidly to in order to annoy them. This would do.

 

[Domino]

I could forever-play "Bring on the Dancing Horses" by Echo and the Bunnymen or most anything David Bowie.

 

[Hitgirl]

Thunder Kiss '65 - White Zombie or White and Nerdy - Weird Al

Right now I'm crushing on "How" by Badly Drawn Boy and on "Holland" by Sufjan Stevens.

Also, I recently rediscovered an old gem while importing CDs to iTunes - Heart's "Little Queen" and "The Best of the Stylistics."

What can I say? I have eclectic tastes. However, if you listen closely you can sense a thread of *pretty melodies with meaningful lyrics* running throughout.

I recently discovered an old favorite. I Just Called to Say I Love You by Stevie Wonder. I wouldn't want to hear it ad infinitum, though.

I'd say IIO's Rapture is catchy enough to be played for a while. There really is no song I'd like to hear forever, as I'm sure is the case with most people. But Jessie's Girl is catchy. Very catchy. Oh! I really, really love Down On The Corner by Creedence Clearwater Revival. That song is so good. Short but good.

I'm always in the mood for good eighties songs. I burned all my favorite people a Christmas present CD with mostly great 80's songs.

Oh, and I can't forget Stand By Me by Ben E King! I could listen to that song for a long time.

 

[Nadir]

Cinematic Orchestra - Channel 1 Suite
Massive Attack - Dissolved Girl
DJ Shadow - Midnight in a Perfect World
The The - Kingdom of Rain
Haggard - Herr Mannelig
Perfume OST - Meeting Laura
Chicane - Saltwater (Original)
Dead Can Dance - The Spider's Stratagem
Afterlife - Blue Bar

And more that reside within the more swampy parts of the mind at this time.

 

[LadyJaye]

I have to ad the Run DMC song "Rock Box" to my list - I think I played it so much I'll be chased from the house by angry villagers any moment.


Great lists, everyone - there were so many good songs, I couldn't comment on just one!

 

[Athenian200]

I've probably listed these before, but these would be my choices.

1. Styx - Brave New World

2. Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (are made of this)

3. Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams

4. Survivor - Burning Heart

5. Genesis - Land of Confusion

Nice ones. I also like Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds.

Won't you come see about me. I'll be alone, dancing you know it, baby. Tell me your troubles and doubts, given everything inside and out...

Not a bad one either: I Saw The Sign by Ace of Base.

A couple more: "I Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon, "Ragdoll" by Aerosmith, "867-5309" by Tommy Tutone, "Maneater" by Hall and Oats, "Another Night Another Dream" by La Bouche, "You Make My Dreams Come True" by Hall and Oats, "Uptown Girl" by Billy Joel and "All I Want For Christmas" by Mariah Carey.

"867-5309" by Tommy Tutone


How many times have I had that song yelled at me from across the room....

Oh my goodness, that song would drive me BATTY after a little bit.

Can you imagine being stuck in a tiny box with numbers repeating endlessly to a catchy tune???

I often put music into repeat. Right now I'm stuck on Sarah Blasko "Perfect Now" and Milosh "You Make Me Feel". Groovy downtempo-ish tunes are very easy to listen to repeat ad infinitum.

And I have returned often to Jeff Buckley and Kate Bush. I bought their CDs "Grace" and "The Hounds of Love" at least 2x each respectively when I kept losing them and CDs were the only currency for music.

I used to wish I could've seen both in concert when they were still touring (or alive)

When you connect your iPod to iTunes, you have to name you iPod...I named mine "Rock Box"

An excellent choice, good sir! And how does "Rock Box" feel about his new name?

 

[digesthisickness]

yesterday, i repeat-played the 'alvin and the chipmunks' version of 'bad day' until my ears bled.

Having a self emollating moment, were you?
