Happy Mondays - Step On
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love

Turns out there are a lot of songs I could listen to over and over again without getting sick of them. And I do.

"Aikea-Guinea" by the Cocteau Twins could be on repeat for eternity. And you know it probably is in Heaven.

"She Sells Sanctuary" by The Cult
"Eighties" by Killing Joke
"(I'm) Stranded" by The Saints
"Nostalgia" by Buzzcocks
"In the Evening" by Led Zeppelin
"Sumerhead" by the Cocteau Twins
"Spellbound" by Siouxsie & the Banshees
"Public Image" by PiL
"To Hell with Poverty" by Gang of Four
"Down on the Street" by the Stooges
"Five Minutes" by the Stranglers
"Transmission" by Joy Division
"Computer World" by Kraftwerk
"Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" by Traffic
"Life's What You Make It" by Talk Talk
"Living Through Another Cuba" by XTC
"Uncontrollable Urge" by Devo
"Listening to the Higsons" by Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians
"Double Vegetation" by Julian Cope
"Over the Wall" by Echo & the Bunnymen
"The Prophet's Song" by Queen

... oh and a pile more.

My answers to this are completely different from my favorite songs.

Fr'instance, Adventures in Solitude by the New Pornographers I could and have listened to for hours on end, but it's not even close to one of my favorites.

Alternately, the climax of Marquee Moon is one of my favorite musical moments ever, but I can listen to that maybe twice a week at most.

This thread should be about favorites that are songs you can listen to forever. BTW, I just made a playlist of 30 or so songs I have never heard before. Great thread.

Antonio Carlos Jobim and Elis Regina - Aguas de Março

Can't remember who it was suggested summer breeze by Isley brothers should go on forever but it's very true

Semi-obsessed with this song the last few months. Surprised there aren't any covers.

I always wished Hum's "Stars" was a 20 minute song. I could listen to this song anytime, anywhere.
