Favorite Songs: 129-125

129. "Wave Of Mutilation" by Pixies. (Doolittle)
I'm including both versions of this song, although I actually prefer the slow version. The fast version is the original, the slow version was on the soundtrack of the movie Pump Up the Volume. (Bad ass movie, by the way.) Can't really miss with either version, though.
Line: "You'll think I'm dead, but I'll sail away on a wave of mutilation."

Fast version:


128. "Three Days" by Jane's Addiction (Ritual de lo Habitual)
Probably the longest song on here, right around 11 minutes. 11 minutes of absolute rock. The awesomeness of this song is just insane. Around the 5 minute mark Dave Navarro plays probably the best guitar part of his life. Just starts rippin shit apart. Good times.
Line: "True hunting's over. No herds to follow. Without game men prey on each other."



127. "Oh Boy!" by Buddy Holly and the Crickets (The Chirpin' Crickets)
Buddy Holly is probably my favorite singer from the '50s and '60s, even though he's only on this list this one time. This is my favorite song to sing at kareoke.
Line: "Stars appear and the shadows are fallin', and you can hear my heart a-callin'."



126. "Glycerine" by Bush (Sixteen Stone)
Total chick song, I know. But I still like it. No real reason, just do.
Line: "I'm never alone. I'm alone all the time."



125. "Underneath the Stars" by The Cure (4:13 Dream)
The last two Cure albums have been kinda crappy, in my opinion. This is the only song from either of them that made this list. This song sounds like it could have been written during the same time as the songs for Disintegration or Bloodflowers. Just a sweeping majestic song on the order of "Plainsong" "Pictures Of You" "Out Of This World" or "39." This is the type of song I think of right away when someone asks me to describe The Cure. The tour they did for this album last year was phenomenal. Saw them in Cleveland, and they were on stage for over three hours, playing over 30 songs from throughout the history of the band. The only break in the set was when they went off stage for about 3 minutes between each of the three encores. You have to love a band that actually comes out to play, as opposed to some bands that come out, burn through 20 songs in an hour and a half, and get the fuck out of Dodge.
Line: "Whisper in my ear a wish: we could float away."
