Favorite Songs: 110 - 106

I changed the comments settings. Didn't realize you had to have an account to leave one before. Now anyone can leave one, so please do so if you feel so inclined.

110. "Wind It Up" by Barenaked Ladies (Barenaked Ladies Are Me)
More of a silly break up song, the type of song BNL are more known for. The guitar part in this song is one of the better ones in their catalogue, and overall it's just a nice steady rock song. The video is also one of my favorites. BNL had an air guitar contest for this song, and the winners got clips of their videos in the official video. My personal favorite is the little kid doing the "Addicted To Love" type video.
Line: "I was a baby when I learned to suck, but you have raised it to an art form."



109. "Hollow Hills" by Bauhaus (Mask)
Definitely one of the more somber and morose songs on my little list. For only being around for about four years or so, Bauhaus had an amazing impact on the "Goth" music scene, yet you rarely ever hear them being named as an influence for anybody, even when they are blatantly ripping them off. At any rate, this is one of the most haunting songs I've ever heard, even if you can't really understand half of what's being sung.
Line: "Love lies there still... So sad."



108. "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" by My Chemical Romance (Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge)
Probably the best pure rock song My Chemical Romance have recorded. And yes, it's another break up song. Love the guitars in this song, too.
Line: "Forget about the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took."



107. "High Hopes" by Pink Floyd (The Division Bell)
This is one of only two Pink Floyd songs on here, surprising with how much I like them. Then again, I like The Who even more, and they aren't on here at all. Go figure. A lot of people didn't really like this album, but I thought it was pretty good. Since it ended up being their last studio album, this song, the final one on the album, seems like a fitting finale for one of the best bands ever.
Line: "Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon, though down this road we've been so many times."



106. "A Few Hours After This" by The Cure (B-side of "Inbetween Days" single)
One of the very few B-sides on this list, but one of the many by The Cure that could have been album tracks, or even singles in some cases. I personally think this song would have fit better on The Head On the Door (the album "Inbetween Days" is from) better than at least 3 songs that actually made it on to the album. The orchestration is some of the best they did in the earlier years, and the drum part is one of my favorite of any song they've done, even with as simple as it is.
Line: "Put your hands around my heart and squeeze me til I'm dry."

(Video note -- There's no video of any versions that are actually by The Cure, so this is from a Cure cover band called The Curse. The live strings don't sound as impressive as the synthesized strings on the original recording, but it's not too bad of a version.)
