@verhp11 did a post listing songs he liked for every letter of the alphabet. Here's my attempt. I've basically opened my music app (Rhythmbox) and sorted all 11000+ songs in order. I'm picking out some that have special memories or that just stood out to me.
How is it 15 years since we lost Robert Palmer? This video with emotionless models pretending to play the instruments had a big impact on teenage boys at the time.
I had to have some bj枚rk on this list. This may have been one of her first songs I was really aware of. That voice!
This was a song I played with a band I was in (originally Unforgiven and later The Barking Spiders). We never did any proper gigs, but it was fun times.
I saw a friend mention this on Twitter the other day. Terence is an amazing singer. He's now called Sananda Maitreya.
One of the first tunes I heard by this composer. I was once part of a group improvisation and someone compared what I played to this. That's an honour.
Yes, it's a cover, but a good one. I've played this myself, but I can't hit the highs that Matt Bellamy can.
Another songs I've played many times. The best may be when my daughter did the violin part.
One of their best rockers. Great riff and the solo is a classic. Cool bassline too.
A lesser known song from A Night at the Opera with Roger Taylor on vocals.
Swordfishtrombones is a great album. He sounds very vulnerable as he sings this.
I didn't get into Radiohead until OK Computer. It's another amazing album.
Had to have some of this band in here. It's yet another song I've covered. Seen Steven Wilson do this live.
This is a prog epic, but an amazing piece of work. Another band I've seen live and they do play this.
Why not have some demented country music?
I picked up this album on a whim and it has some great songs.
Mr Wilson always does something interesting. This has a spoken piece working through it.
A slightly geeky title by this cool band who were recommended to me. Definitely quirky. Love those vocals.
I love Eels. Just found this cool version done as a tribute to a fan.
More quirkiness from a band I love.
Got some happy memories of this song. A friend does a great cover of it.
"We can be happy underground"
That band I saw just last week. Check out the guy hanging onto the monitor speaker.
I know some people think the Foos are too mainstream, but I think they do some great rock songs.
I was interested to see if I had anything for this letter in my colleciton. There were a very few to choose from. I love the energy of this band.
I love the Sheik Yerbouti album.
Bowie had to be in this list and he fills the Z very well.
This has been a fun trip through my collection. I could do this tomorrow and find totally different songs. I love music in all its variety.
I'm not nominating people to do this. Just do it if you want to.
Rock on!
I'm Steve, the geeky guitarist.
