Day 9 - A Song that makes you want to fall asleep

Two ways of looking at this - a boring song or a song that puts you in that peaceful mood perfect for nodding off? I've gone for the latter...

I'm struggling with Day 10 - will get back on this one!

by **The Co=Ordinator** Mon Mar 21, 2011 3:42 am

And here it is. Day 10.

Easy.

Day 11 - A Song By Your Favourite Band

The greatest band ever doing their greatest ever song.

Day 11.

I could choose hundreds of tracks by XTC. Here's a "little-known" one from their 1982 masterpiece English Settlement.

Day 12

One of the few good songs from a very very overrated band...

by stanmore Tue Mar 22, 2011 4:18 pm

The Stones are overrated. They've been useless many, many years - and a lot longer than is commonly suggested - but over-rated to the point of hatred?

This video actually brings together two things I hate. Coma-inducing tedium-peddlers Travis and comedy food fights. "Haha look at people getting messy in the face." It's a level of humour just about Total Wipeout. Just.

Day 13

I've seen them three times. On the third occasion I tried to convince Chas I was a pianist in a funk band. He didn't believe me.

Day 15. With my tongue very firmly placed in my cheek. Razz

I wonder if anyone has given a serious answer to Day 15.

Day 16
I really liked this when I first heard it and then it got into the charts and became far too overplayed as a result.

by **The Co=Ordinator** Sun Mar 27, 2011 12:14 pm

Can't come up with one for Day 16. Brain dead!

Day 14

Surprising myself and others with my appreciation of this song. I have been vocally Anti-Coldplay for many years, you see, but I whilst I can't stand ernest Coldplay, the big and stupid Coldplay of the last couple of years has been quite good, and this song the best of the lot.

Day 15 - A Song That Sums You Up

by **Johnstone McGuckian** Mon Mar 28, 2011 5:31 pm

Day 17

Rock Radio's apparently favorite song...

Day 18.

Back in 1978 when I saw them at The Electric Ballroom, XTC had recently released their new single Are You Receving Me. In obvious annoyance as it hadn't got onto any playlists Andy Partridge said that he was giving it to us (the crowd) as no radio stations wanted it. And 33 years on I've still never heard it played on radio. Which is crazy as I think it's a brilliant, quirky 3 minutes of music!

Day 18

Some songs should simply have been bigger than they were, this is a prime example. Damn the current state of the music industry.
