Tainted Love.

Can't even hate it after that commercial a few years ago. The one set in a hospital? What was that an ad for, anyway?

Oh yeah. Levi's Jeans.

Usually, commercials make songs worse. Not in this case - it speaks to the universal awesomeness of the song.

Like about a million other people, I would have never heard Nick Drake's Pink Moon if it weren't for this VW commercial.  It's a lovely tune, and I'm glad to have found this song, regardless of context.

Hmm, this is always tough for me because I tend to find music I like and then listen to it until I'm completely sick of it. Then I can never remember the music that I used to love so dearly.

But a few songs that I can't seem to play out:

The Fall - Eat Y'self Fitter : Said to be John Peel's favorite song, and probably mine as well. Well, maybe a tie between this and Spoilt Victorian Child.

David Bowie - The Jean Genie : I always have to put this song on the jukebox at a bar I frequent in Baltimore.

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart : This song always brings a tear to my eye. It is also a fantastic song to drink whiskey to.

Me too! And all three of his albums are pretty much perfect (though Bryter Layter maybe a bit more perfect than the others). They are also great albums for road trips up the coast.

Darn right.  It's like "Sexual Healing" and "For What It's Worth", classics that MUST be sung along with.

Sexual Healing, if played loudly enough in the car, tends to trick me into thinking I have an amazing singing voice when I sing along and makes me wonder why I haven't recorded anything yet. Then I just turn down the volume.

There are few things on earth more gorgeous than Marvin Gaye's voice.

One of you guys in the '04 CD exchange included a Neko Case version of Deep Red Bells. Good job on that one.

I too was exposed to Neko Case by that same CD.  It was Carlos I do believe.

(raises hand)  Yes I will take credit for that.

Yep!

A live version of Deep Red Bells.

Here is another live version recorded by yours truly in Park City Utah a few years ago.  I attended that show btw with none other than Miles from this board.

Yeah, that's an amazing song.

Hey, I remember that. Didn't you grab the setlist?

She also has a tremendous voice. I can't decide whether I like it best when she sings Neko Case type songs or The New Pornographers type songs.

If there was a church that based its entire liturgy and theology around What's Going On, I would totally join that church.  "God Is Love" says more good things about Christianity than everything all TV preachers have ever said put together.

That commercial was the first place I ever heard that song. I remember in high school we all decided that was basically the coolest commercial ever.
