On A MissionFollow

Im on a mission to get all those old songs i never think about but wish i had. Good, Bad, Mediocre i want them.

Any ways whenever i goto get music i can never remember so im open to suggestions. Of course the first 15 year old that says Slipknot Rules!!1!1! will be slapped (i saw em live they put on a great show but not what im looking for).

I dunno so far this week i have fleshed out my collection of 60's and 70's music with a little 80's. Grateful Dead, Beatles, The Who, The Clash, Janis Joplin, Black Flag, CCR, Nugent, Waylon Jennings, Nazareth.

Not really "classics" but you know music you can sing ever word to even though you have never owned the CD. For example Tear for Fears - Head over Heels off the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Not a great band but definitely reminds me of the 80's.

Basically i dont want bands or cd's listed. I want the individual songs and nothing that has come out in the last 5 years. If you have a song or something to contribute that would be great. Maybe its just one or two songs, maybe you would be as kinds as to post your entire playlist. I dunno, sorry to bother y'all and thanks for any help offered!

Cake - Never There

There's a few.

Does that comes with a smokin' sax solo?

Dave plays the same solo, but on his guitar.

I actually like the cover a lot better than the original. My college roommate and I played it at a dorm open mic night once.

Me neither, just throwing crap out there, I read your post as "give me songs from the past" so I pulled a bunch out of my ***.

On second look, I see what you're saying. I bet you do know all the words to Hangin' Tough though.

I'm surprised anyone knows all of their full names. I know the Wahlbergs since they are actors. Actually, Donnie did a really good job in the "Band of Brothers" series. Most people do well in Spielberg stuff though.
