There are a few artists I want to hear a lot of right now, but I'd also like to find some new music and possibly rediscover some music I haven't heard in a while. This list looked good, so I'm going to work on hearing these songs. I've listened to some of these on Last.fm or my Winamp already, and I know I like many of these artists, so I might like the songs and artists I don't already know. I'll just have to try to find them on Imeem or Youtube, then add the ones I like on Last.fm.
Update(2/4/09): I have listened to all the songs, except a few that I had already scrobbled and I few I remembered well enough to know I don't like them. If Last.fm is right about when I scrobbled the first song, I have been doing this for nine hours. I guess I just got caught up in doing it, and at a certain point I had gone to far to stop. Now, if you're looking for a detailed critique of each song, you will be disappointed. I'm not good at that. I've split them into four groups: songs I already liked, songs I already dislike, songs I liked, and songs I didn't like. The first two are for songs with which I was already very familiar. There are some songs that I had heard before but did not put in one of the first two groups because I couldn't really remember them well enough and I felt I needed to listen to them again to decide whether or not I liked them. I also commented on each song. Some comments are just one or two words. Not even particularly descriptive words. It's 2:29 AM. I'm glad I did it, but I am so glad to be done with it.
Songs I already liked(23):
My Generation :
The Who (Score = 43.81)
This is an example of why this list looked good to me.
For Your Love :
The Yardbirds (Score = 36.36)
I had forgotten about this song, but I do like it.
Somebody To Love :
Jefferson Airplane (Score = 33.27)
I already like it It's the only song by them that I have on my computer. I'd love to be able to rip my records into mp3s.
Ruby Tuesday :
The Rolling Stones (Score = 28.62)
I mostly don't like the Rolling Stones, but this is one of the two songs of theirs that I do like. I also like Melanie's version.
Break Stuff :
Limp Bizkit (Score = 28.53)
Hey, I remember this one! Not bad.
Je Dis Aime :
M (Score = 27.4)
I love this song.
Wild Thing :
The Troggs (Score = 26.09)
I like it, I know it, I've just never had it on a cd. There are a lot of songs that I listed to on the oldies station in middle school or on records that I just haven't managed to get in my library here yet.
Life Goes By :
The Special Goodness (Score = 25.46)
This is the third or fourth song on this list from Punk-O-Rama 9, which I already have, but the first I recognized when I started playing it. I need to get my Punk-O-Rama cds on my computer.
Buddy Holly :
Weezer (Score = 25.38)
I remember this one. I don't know if I like the band, but I like the song.
The Dirty Glass :
Dropkick Murphys (Score = 25.3)
Oh, I forgot about this song! Wait, this is on Punk-O-Rama 9. Where'd I put that cd?
Creep :
Radiohead (Score = 23.47)
I remember this song, too. Pre-middle school oldies obsession. Never got around to buying it. I like it enough to listen to it when it's on, but maybe not quite enough that I want it on my computer and PSP.
A Day in the Life :
The Beatles (Score = 22.55)
I was obsessed with the Beatles in middle school.
Mama Sam :
M (Score = 22.5)
I'm getting slightly obsessed with -M- in a middle school way.
Miss Take (radio edit) :
HorrorPops (Score = 22.43)
I dont know about the radio edit, but isn't this one on a Punk-O-Rama, too? I know it. I like it. I have it. Somewhere.
My Own Summer (Shove It) :
Deftones (Score = 22.28)
I have a live version of this one.
Struck By a Wrecking Ball :
Nekromantix (Score = 22.06)
I have a drawer full of cds and dvds. It's in there somewhere. I think I've got most of the Punk-O-Rama cds, and I've got that Unsound cd. I wonder if they'll make another.
Bad Moon Rising :
Creedence Clearwater Revival (Score = 21.87)
It's already in my library. I don't have it on cd, but I think I might have it on a record.
1979 :
The Smashing Pumpkins (Score = 21.79)
I need to find and rip some of my Smashing Pumpkins cds, and I need to buy Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness again. I loaned it to a friend in middle school and it was all scratched up and a little cracked when she gave it back.
My Sharona :
The Knack (Score = 20.79)
Yeah, I know this one.
Fortunate Son :
Creedence Clearwater Revival (Score = 20.49)

Matmatah (Score = 33.56)

Good.

Radiohead (Score = 21.76)

Seeing Red :
Minor Threat (Score = 21.52)
Good.
Depuis Toujours :
Louise Attaque (Score = 21.5)

Minor Threat (Score = 20.79)

Mano Negra (Score = 20.52)
Nice.

Not bad.
International :

Songs I didn't like(17):
When Jesus Christ Was Here on Earth :
Charming Hostess (Score = 54.18)
Not at all.
I Want More :
Can (Score = 50.95)
Eh, I gave it a try, and it sounds like I might like other songs by this band, but I don't really care for this song.
Vermilion :
Slipknot (Score = 39.95)
Didn't like this one quite as much as the last Slipknot song.
Stairway to Heaven :
Led Zeppelin (Score = 35.2)
I thought I would like it, but I didn't. I'm not really a Led Zeppelin fan, though I don't dislike them at all. I generally think they're fine. This song, though, no. I was just waiting for it to end the whole time.
Mon coeur mon amour :
Anaïs (Score = 34.79)
Good in bits, but I don't like it enough to want it to come up on my Library station. Might be another case of possibly liking the artist but not the song.
Mistral Gagnant :
Renaud (Score = 31.15)
Not all bad, but I don't really like it.
Forget to Remember :
Mudvayne (Score = 30.75)
Kind of dull.
One Step Closer :
Linkin Park (Score = 29)
Again, dull. I used to like Linkin Park. Maybe it's just the song.
Last Resort :
Papa Roach (Score = 27.64)
I kind of remember this one, but I had to listen to it again to decide whether I like it or not. I thought I did, but I don't.
Seein' Diamonds :
Hot Water Music (Score = 27.27)
I like other songs by this band, but this one is a little dull.
I Stand Alone :
Godsmack (Score = 26.89)
A bit dull. Not as much as the others I've described as dull, but there's nothing that makes me want to hear it again.
How Can I Live :
Ill Niño (Score = 25.31)
I kind of sort of liked it, but I don't really care if I hear it again. I think I'd like the band, though.
Les mots d'amour :
Bénabar (Score = 21.92)
Eh, not bad, but not for me.
Poupine Et Thierry :
Les Wriggles (Score = 20.86)
Funny, but once is enough.
L'amour En Cage :
Patricia Carli (Score = 20.52)
I can't seem to find more than the 30 second preview on Last.fm. Based on what little I've heard, I don't think I like this one. I looked on Imeem and Youtube, too. Those are the only other places I know to look.
Money For Nothing :
Dire Straits (Score = 20.43)
I've heard this one a few times, but I forgot it, so I had to listen to it again. I don't think I've ever liked it.
Love and War :
Drowning Pool (Score = 19.62)
Dull.
Mano Negra
2. Nirvana - Nevermind (189)
