Download Limewire and get to downloading.

Limewire only gets you individual songs. Torrents are easier for download albums, the way most good music should be enjoyed, plus you get more music in one download. Personal preference though.

virus? not on a mac

blogs are alright but its still hard to find interesting music. ive downloaded songs and tried internet radio stations, wasting most of my download limit on stuff i dont actually like. and i don't mind the music that i listen too, just admitting that it might be a bit blase.

Yeah I was on a internet radio kick at one point, just downloading anything that sounded half way decent. It's a good way to keep up on stuff, just not very practical for me to do all the time.

1. The Clash - "Clampdown"
This song just plays on all of my favorite things about my favorite band. Mick and Joe both sing, Topper busts out a great beat, and the lyrics speak of class division. The Clash's activism is what sets this song apart among their greatest.

2. Weezer - "In The Garage"
Besides the fact that it accurately describes my teenage experience thus far, there has always been something about the ridiculously high sustained guitar notes in the pop-era Weezer songs that lures me in.

3. The Beatles - "Yesterday"
This song was there for me in my saddest of times, through break-ups or deaths. The string arrangement also kicks major ass.

4. Beck - "Devil's Haircut"
I crank this up in my car and blast it out my windows anytime I just need some refreshment. It makes no difference whether or not I completely comprehend the lyrics, honestly.

5. Modest Mussorgsky, arr. Elgar Howarth - "The Great Gate of Kiev"
This is the most powerful song I've ever heard and when I played in the Indianapolis Brass Choir with it, I instantly got goosebumps. That French Horn part soars and impresses in good recordings.

6. The Temptations - "Ain't Too Proud To Beg"
The epitome of the Motown sound for me. The passion in the vocals gets me every time.

7. Queen - "Don't Stop Me Now
Every time I hear this song, I imagine Freddy standing alone on a stage and performing what amounts to a Broadway show. It's an amazingly dynamic song with all the Queen attitude.

8. Oasis - "Don't Look Back In Anger"
Each song on this list makes me sing along, but this song takes me to a different place. I always feel like I am at a live show and I just start shouting when this song.

9. The Strokes - "Reptilia"
In my belief, this is the best song in the current wave of indie rock. It's so raw and energetic and I pound the steering wheel to death to the catchy-ass drum beat.

10. Sufjan Stevens - "Chicago"
The song that made me want to get in front of a keyboard and just lightly tap the keys as I pour my soul out. Sufjan is a vastly underrated singer-songwriter.
