Default 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. 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

Why?: I love the beat that sounds like it's beneath you.


#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.


#85
SHANIA TWAIN - DON'T BE STUPID (YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU)

Why?: Violins galore! Uplifting much.


#84
JC CHASEZ - ALL DAY LONG I DREAM ABOUT SEX

Why?: I love singing along to this one. JC is hot stuff.


#83
LEIGHTON MEESTER - BODY CONTROL

Why?: I love her voice sfm. It's so catchy.


#82
BLONDIE - MARIA

Why?: It's so charismatic.


#81
DELTA GOODREM - BELIEVE AGAIN

Why?: Build ups are my thing. This doesn't disappoint.


#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.


#76
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!


#75-50 coming soooooon!......

Why?: Girl power. I want old Lindsay back!


#63
ROGUE TRADERS - WE'RE COMING HOME

Why?: Natalie Basingthwaite at her best imo.


#62
JOSS STONE - TELL ME 'BOUT IT

#60
JOY DIVISION - LOVE WILL TEAR US APPART

#58
GOOD CHARLOTTE - GIRLS & BOYS

Why?: Reminds me of high school and good times. Will never ever get boring this song.


#57
BECK - GAMMA RAY

Why?: I adore the 70's influences and the bassline. Played this to death!

AVRIL LAVIGNE - EVERYTHING BACK BUT YOU

Why?: Might bleed some people's ears but I love it. It's so fun and energetic with don't-give-a-****-lyrics.


#55
CIARA - WORK FEAT. MISSY ELLIOTT

Why?: Sick beat.


#54
QUEENS OF THE STONEAGE - SICK SICK SICK

Why?: Loved it when it first came out a few years ago. Then heard it out recently and was like 'ahhhhhhh yassss!'. Good times.


#53
S CLUB 8 - FOOL NO MORE

Why?: Being like 12 at the time, I was obsessed with this song. I thought it was the greatest thing evurr. And I still have a huge soft spot for it!


#52
REVEREND AND THE MAKERS - NO SOAP (IN A DIRTY WAR)

Why?: I like the echoed vocals - sorry I'm not sure the correct term for this.


#51
STEPHANIE MCINTOSH - SO DO I SAY SORRY FIRST

Why?: This song isn't particularly 'amazing' to most but it's so addictive. I'm sure I played this and sung it about 100 times in a weekend.
