So, in this thread, I'm going to make a list of my favorite kind of X songs about once a week or so. When I'm done, I want to see what yours are.

Starting off, best "week day" songs. Pick seven songs, each with a day of the week in the title.

Monday: Monday by The Jam
Tuesday: Tuesday Morning by The Pogues
Wednesday: Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. by Simon and Garfunkel
Thursday: Thursday by Morphine
Friday: Friday I'm in Love by The Cure
Saturday: Another Saturday Night by Sam Cooke
Sunday: Sunday Kind of Love by Etta James

So what are your favorite weekday songs?

It was hard to find a few songs for certain days of the week. But whee!

Monday: "Blue Monday" by New Order
Tuesday: (couldn't find a song in my library)
Wednesday: "My Favorite Wet Wednesday Afternoon" by the Siddeleys
Thursday: "Thursday" by Asobi Seksu
Friday: "Friday I'm in Love" by the Cure
Saturday: "Come Saturday" by The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Sunday: "Sunday" by the Cranberries (probably my favorite song on this whole list)

Mine are:

Monday: Monday, Monday by The Mamas and the Papas. (Couldn't think of anything else and had nothing in my library.)
Tuesday: Tuesday's Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd (Also the Metallica cover is pretty good)
Wednesday: A Wednesday Car by Johnny Cash (Again no songs in my library but this song was the best I could find on youtube)
Thursday: Couldn't find a single thing on youtube that sounded like something I'd ever listen to
Friday: Friday by Ice Cube
Saturday: Saturday Night Special by Skynyrd (Not really about a weekday but it has Saturday in the title)
Sunday: Sunday Morning by Maroon5

I would have said King of Carrot Flowers, but I just naturally assumed that every song on that album is pretty long.

It's such a good album. Obviously I'm kind of a fan. My favorite song off of it is Holland, 1945, but obviously that doesn't fit the list theme.

The only song on my iTunes under 2:00 (and not an intro or outro) that I listen to is Blitzkrieg Bop by the Ramones.

Mine would be Oh Comely, because I am such an emo dick. Seriously, it's probably the only song I've listened to that's drawn tears out of me.

I know I'm blanking on a few sub-two minutes songs I really like, but this will do.

Guided by Voices - Gold Star for Robot Boy
Husker Du - Never Talking to You Again
Janis Joplin - Mercedes Benz

Making this list was really, really hard at first (as I generally don't pay attention to track lengths), but once I used my media player to put every song in my library in order of track length, it became much easier. I hope that isn't considered cheating. Razz

These are in no particular order.

HEALTH - "Pills"
Wire - "Another the Letter"
Pearl Jam - "Lukin"
Young Marble Giants - "Eating Noddemix"
The Smiths - "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want"
Grimes - "Eight"
Nick Drake- "Road"
Daft Punk - "Derezzed"
The Raveonettes - "Untamed Girls"
Anamanaguchi - "Cheap Shop"

I want ot mix the music and the games this time. Give me your five favorite Sega Genesis tunes. Or more, if you want. I don't really care. The SNES had endless good music on it, but I don't feel quite the same way about Sega. Which is disappointing, since the Genesis probably had the better soundcard of the two.
