Easily my least favorite QofSA single...

in my view one's ipod is crap if it doesn't contain at least these

Amon Tobin - 4 ton mantis
^proof that downbeat electro jazz (or whatever people want to call it) can be heavy as hell

QOTSA - go with the flow
^current live versions obliterate the studio version but it's still a modern classic.

Jimi Hendrix - House Burning Down
^because if you have this one you likely have more and there's never enough Jimi.

Smashing Pumpkins - disarm
^for retrospective introspection

Radiohead - Exit (music for a film)
^for the outro

I can get down with this list, nice job sir. I'd pick another SP track though as I tired of Disarm almost as soon as it became a single. Too bad because I initially loved it. I hate when that happens.

Nick Drake - At The Chime Of A City Clock
Scott Walker - The War Is Over (Sleepers-Epilogue)
Dionne Warwick - Promises, Promises
Belle & Sebastian - Fox In The Snow
The Band - Whispering Pines

[Rickenbacker]

Agreed. I'd probably pick something from Gish. I Am One or Rhinoceros.

Really? I think the Ganging Up is easily their best album.

I don't have any single songs from those lists on my ipod but do have two in my general library. Does that mean I suck? I hope so...

Nope, I have probably 6 songs on my mp3 player, but more in my library
in my mp3 player it's like
Gaga - Fashion
La Roux - Bulletproof
Medium Medium - the Glitterhouse
Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit
Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight
& some Albert Hammond Jr song

this list is ****ing ridiculous I realise, I only use my mp3 player when I go out to smoke

I think I'm going to take this too literally but I'll give it a shot anyhow.

These songs better be on your iPod because you're probably on public transit, and you're going to need to do what it takes to get you out of your funk...

1. Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons (only because I'm assuming you don't speak German, and you'll want to sing along)

2. Grand Funk Railroad - American Band (strictly because this song has more Cowbell than Wisconsin)

3. Sam & Dave - Hold On! I'm coming! (because you can sing this one even if you don't speak English, and you can't not dance)

4. James Brown - My Thang (because there are barely words, and it will teach you how to pick up women on the bus in the first 15 seconds of the song)

5. My Morning Jacket - Highly Suspicious (because at this point you might as well have a soundtrack to the weird stares you're getting while you continue your funky ass dance party.)
