We are so E! Anyway, going through music folders right now. what is everyone's top five songs of all time.
In no particular order 1. Radiohead - Karma Polica - I saw them live and this brought people to tears (also played Creep, which they refuse to play usually - BEST CONCERT EVER!!!) 2. HY - White Beach - Japanese group I grew addicted to. 3. Nick Cave - the ship song - i love love love love the live version 4. Aretha - Natural woman - i always thought this was cheesy, until i listened properly and grew up. 5. tempted to put Massive Attack or Portsihead, but am feeling desert island discs so need more of a range - NERD - Rockstar -the jason nevins remix 6. (he, i made the rules this time, i can break them) Salmonella Dub - for the love of it Most embareesing songs I like and seem to own 1. naughty by nature OPP - (yeah you know me) 2. Britney - toxic - embaressing yes, but actually a good song. 3. we seem to own anawful lot of venga boys 4. i have asecret love of SClub 5. we also have TWO 50 cent cds |

Oh my gosh... I don't know if I could think of 5 off the top of my head. There are so many. I love 100 Years by Five for Fighting. I love the words. I guess I like songs that tell stories!
Embarassing? I just copied my sister's Pussycat Dolls album and I can't WAIT to listen to it in the car hehehe

chasing cars is the one that they played at the end of greys anatomy when denny died, soooo sad but lovely song. Chorus goes something like 'if i lay here, if i just lay here will you lay with me and just forget the world.....' i love it.
Have to add Kryptonite to my fav songs, that song alwasy reminds me of clubbing with my mates in my younger carefree, childfree days! |

I love chasing cars, I never seem to hear it on the radio and wish i did.
I hate that ummm is it panick on the dance floor? something like that anyway but one of my latest favs is 'lips of an angel' or words of an angel whatever its called. I love Live, went to see thier concert a few years back it was fantastic. Hey i heard the chilli peppers might be coming back to NZ, has anyone else heard that? I love Zephr song and By the Way |

| We must have the same radio statino! Our radio in the car is japanese and the frequencies are really low. conssequently we pick up morefm and talkback. Unless i wanna hear 80 year old men who are "first time callers but long time listeners" complaining about the all blacks, it's forever young, chasing cars, ben lee and about two other songs. |
