Gabriel/Fripp - "Here Comes The Flood/Water Music"
Ministry - "Burning Inside"
The Blue Nile - "Easter Parade"
They Might Be Giants - "They'll Need A Crane"
Blind Lemon Jefferson - "Working On A Building"


Edit: mixture of hopeful yearning, aggressive disillusionment, silliness with an underlying deeper truth, and earthy spirituality.

Smokey Robinson - Who's Loving You (covering both pop and soul)
Iron Maiden - Runnin' Free (Todd likes to rock and this song is really equal parts metal and punk)
Shrimp Boat - Honeyside (kaleidoscopic with insinuations of foreign sounds)
Thelonious Monk - Four In One (adventerous and out-there, yet still melodic)
Hank Williams - I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You (the perfect, simple song)

I need a Dylan tune, a country tune and a country rocker like DBT or Skynyrd in there, upon further reflection, but I was going for:
Best Song Ever
Billy Punk Boohoo Coke freak out rock
Music to blow your brains out to
Uptempo, thinking man's indie
A soul song sung by drug addicts

all of which pretty well sums me up, but I might add "Longhaired Redneck" by D.A.C. or "Get on the Plane" by the DBT's or "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" by the Band or "It Ain't Me Babe" by Dylan.

Sorry, couldn't do it in 5:

New Model Army - Stupid Questions (just plain rock)
Yes - Heart of the Sunrise (prog)
Gary Numan - Cars (synthpop, nice instrumental break)
Stranglers - Too Precious (just plain good songwriting)
Talk Talk - Desire (captures the whole patient/Pink Floyd thing, and the powerful/majestic)
Skinny Puppy - Reload (kind of cheating, captures both alienware -- first half -- and ambient -- second half)

I need a Kylie Minogue song in there or something...
