Songs that I should consider for download

Wacker

Hi folks.

The last thing I want to do is stir up some massive debate that almost invariably results in a slagging match and the post being dis-continued. So lets try to keep this simple, eh?

I'm totally out of ideas for songs to download. I'm sure this has happened to most people who download songs regularly, so could anyone help me out? Anything at all; I am open to experimentation. Also, I use Kazaa, so nothing too obscure as it won't be there.

Cheers!

ok you NEED to have:

Bright Eyes - lover i don't have to love
Belle and Sebastian - get me away from here i'm dying
Belle and Sebastian - the lonelyness of a middle distance runner
Snow Patrol - Star Fighter Pilot
dEUS - Little Arithmatics

...... i could go on with a few more belle and Sebastian songs... but i think you should get off your ass, get a job, make some money and buy some albums... espcialy if the band is a low key artist.

Tom McRae -- Stronger Than Dirt

Although i agree with the above list it just stinks of pretentious indie record collector.

and i wa'snt impressed with hot snakes and low are just incredibly dull.
