ReplyDeleteI SHOULD have done an addendum of credit for them, at least!
ReplyDeleteBehind--the Ocean Blue
ReplyDeleteOooooo. I had to go relisten. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteIt... uh...Ummmm... never mind.
ReplyDeleteWait. Crap. Am I missing something obvious? Am I not understanding something with the lyrics I should? I hate feeling obtuse.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad The Cranberries got an honorable mention. I listened to them on the way to and from breaking up with one of my boyfriends in college. It probably wasn't the best idea because now I can't listen to them without thinking about that experience, but I still like them.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE The Cranberries. LOVE, love, love. And I hate when my favorites get marred by bad memories!
ReplyDelete#1 is #1 and you find Lady Antebellum undesirable? The screeching! yikes!
ReplyDeleteLOL
I do LOVE #2. Do I get points for that?
Trish...I'm with you. I'm not a Frames fan. Sorry T!
ReplyDelete#2 is one of the single best songs ever. EVER. Love that song.
You see screeching, I see heart felt emotion! :) And I LOVE that song. Turn up loud and belt it love.
ReplyDeleteAnd absolutely you get points. Because, as Sharon said, it's (one of the) best songs EVER.
Number 2 is a classic.
ReplyDeleteHow about Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart?
I've never loved Joy Division. I know that would be on a lot of people's list (my ex's included...) but eh. I think they're overrated (I feel a little dirty for saying that!).
ReplyDeleteI don't know enough about Joy Division to be a big fan (other than that New Order came from them), but I do like that song.
ReplyDeletePlus, it was worth the comment for me, just to get you to say something back that made you feel a little dirty.
2 more comments, because I'm home sick and bored like that...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you found a Shout Out Louds video. there were none to be found last time I looked. Man I love that band. I've had their discography in my car on shuffle for months.
I'm struggling with the positive mention of ATE on your blog. Evidence #42 that we do, in fact, have VERY different tastes in music. :)
Just for you, lbs.
ReplyDeleteSharon - there are very few SOL videos and to find ANY that are decent was tough. I'm wondering why? It seems weird now days. I made a SOL / Kooks playlist that sees a lot of daylight in our house.
And, well, I couldn't tell you another ATE (in fact, had to scroll up to figure out who ATE WAS) song, but I do love that one.
That video of Missing You is awesome. 80-licious.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite break-up song:

This is the first song that popped into my head when I saw this post!

I had never heard that. I like it. Thanks!
