Awesome Songs are worth sharing.

Which is why I'm going to share a couple on my playlist.

1. Radiohead - 'Paranoid Android'

This song is made of Win and Awesome. You will listen to it if you haven't and you will like. The lyrics are supreme and it is intelligent; something I admire in music.

2. De La Soul- 'Stakes is High'

Very different musically, but just as important and worthwhile in my opinion. Compare this to the majority of r&b and Rap made in the 21st century and I know which will win.

Also a good indication of how much society (and culture) changes VERY slowly. The subject matter doesn't sound very far-off to today, is it?

3. Split Enz - 'My Mistake'

This tune is so well-made, it has been a perennial ear-worm for me. Good luck if you don't suddenly have this pop into your head all the time.

4. Led Zeppelin - 'Dazed and Confused'

And people think Emo is new? Pull the other one, buddy. Again, it seems people don't change as much as we think we do.

5. Compay Segundo - 'Chan Chan'

How about this for a change of pace? This song cheers me up for some reason; but it's just as horrible an earworm as many - relaxing as it is.

6. Deltron 3030 - 'Memory Loss'

Mostly due to the collaboration between producer 'Dan the Automator' and turntablist 'Kid Koala', this track is awesome. Del's rapping fuses with it incredbly well. Two other songs from their album are also worth listening; '3030' and 'Mastermind'.

7. ELO - 'Mr. Blue Sky'

Another catchy pick-up song. In case you've noticed, a lot of these songs are from the UK. I dunno why, but they oftem seem batter than their American counterparts.

8. Stevie Wonder - 'Too High'

I could have selected a lsit entirely off this artist alone. That said, I find his works in the '70s are better than his more recent activity. The album ('Innervisions') is a true classic that deserves a purchase.

9. Richard Clapton - 'Deep Water'

The first 'Australian' song (Split Enz don't count!), but there are others on my full list. Another classic from a high-quality songwriter.

Honourable Mentions:
The Kinks - 'Sunny Afternoon'
Gorillaz - 'O Green World'
Jethro Tull - 'Aqualung'
Deep Purple - Anything from the album 'Machine Head
The Dissassociatives - 'Aaängry Megaphone Man'



...and a whole host of '70s Australian songs
