My Favorite Songs Here's my list. It's not rated, just alphabetical. I didn't include anything from the past year or so because I may get sick of them eventually. These are songs that have stood the test of time for me. Some bands (Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips, Tricky) or genres (stoner rock, math-rock, psychedelia) are more album-oriented, so I might have different choices for best albums. Conversely, genres such as power pop and 60s garage rock are more suited to singles. I think a band can have one great song while the rest of their work is mediocre. Obviously, I don't think there is such a thing as music "everyone" must like or musical "essentials" Academy Fight Song--Mission Of Burma The Ace Of Spades--Motorhead And Then Again--Arcwelder Another Girl, Another Planet--The Only Ones Baby Baby--The Vibrators Baby Come Back--The Equals Boombastic--Shaggy Both Ends Burning--Roxy Music C’est Si Bon--Eartha Kitt Complicated Fun--The Suicide Commandos Craz
