Doug's 101 Favourite Songs [#101-51 Revealed!]
 

I have far too much time on my hands what with Uni timetable cut back and being off work for damaged nerves in my leg...

Anyway, I have really different tastes in music compared to the other members who have posted these so far. Overall, my music is mostly from recent times - just my preference. And I have tried to keep Girls Aloud to a minimum as appart from them I have lots of songs I love. :hugesmile: Opinions welcome!

#101
GUILLEMOTS - ANNIE LET'S NOT WAIT
Why?: Get's stuck in my head loads and love the line "i love you and that's all you need to know".


#100
MELANIE FIONA - GIVE IT TO ME RIGHT
Why?: It's sexy. And it uses a sample well.


#99
THE ROLLING STONES - ANYBODY SEEN MY BABY?
Why?: Reminds me of my Mum. We used to sing it on roadtrips! <3


#98
CELINE DION - TAKING CHANCES
Why?: The build up and final chorus are just immense. Gotta love the Dion!


#97
GIRLS ALOUD - LOVE IS THE KEY
Why?: It has a simple formula but it works so well. The harmonica reminds of the Rolling Stones and it's quirky.


#96
SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO - I BELIEVE
Why?: Not too sure why.


#95
JONAS BROTHERS - BURNING UP
Why?: It's fun, edgy, catchy and upbeat. Good video too.


#94
ROSS COPPERMAN - SHOUT
Why?: If you like big piano ballad numbers with a good build up. This is for you!


#93
SUGABABES - ACE REJECT
Why?: It's so refereshing. And Keisha's vocals are so, so good. Love it.


#92
TOKYO POLICE CLUB - NATURE OF THE EXPERIMENT
Why?: Because I have no idea what instruments are used. And because it's short and sweet - a lot like their other work.


#91
JACK PENATE - TONIGHT'S TODAY
Why?: One of my summer tunes. I love songs like this where you can just become lost in them. I adore this song.


#90
KLAXONS - GRAVITY'S RAINBOW
Why?: Groovy guitar solo's and a killer chanting chorus!


#89
MADONNA - SORRY

#88
BRITNEY SPEARS - BORN TO MAKE YOU HAPPY
Why?: Reminds of being a kid and playing Crash Team Racing on the PS1.


#87
HOT HOT HEAT - BANDAGES
Why?: I love the verses, they are insane. It's a weird indie song but it's quite uplifting.


#86
LA ROUX - I'M NOT YOUR TOY
Why?: I love it's quirkyness. It's one of those songs where when I first heard it, I knew it would be one of my favourite songs.

#81
DELTA GOODREM - BELIEVE AGAIN

#80
JANET JACKSON - WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY?
Why?: Janet old school. Simple formula - 80's beat + hooks + 'oooooh yeah' = winner.


#79
BRYN CHRISTOPHER - SMILIN'
Why?: Reminds me of an ex, is quite haunting.


#78
FREEMASONS - WHEN YOU TOUCH ME
Why?: Camptastic. Good dance song.


#77
VAMPIRE WEEKEND - HORCHATA
Why?: It's so bloody random but very American preppy type tune. Love the instrument sequences.

GIRLS ALOUD - MODELS
Why?: One of my favourite album tracks from them. It's so upbeat, quirky, uplifting and jampacked with so many hooks and unforgettable lyrics. Amazing!
