Fugazzi Grand (460-441)

460. "Mama's Room" (Under the Influence of Giants, 2006)
This was the first ever free song I downloaded from iTunes. No free song that I've downloaded from iTunes since has been as good as this.

459. "Hungry Heart" (Bruce Springsteen, The River, 1980)
The River is a great double album, and this is one of the many highlights.

458. "Lord Only Knows" (Beck, Odelay, 1996)
"you only got one finger left, and it's pointing at the door"

457. "Crumblin' Down" (John Mellencamp, Words & Music, 1983)
Nobody did two guitars, bass and drums in the 80's like Johnny Cougar.

456. "Soul Meets Body" (Death Cab For Cutie, Plans, 2005)
A great band, great musicians, very good record.

455. "Still the One" (Orleans, Still the One, 1976)
When I want to make Gilly laugh, I replace "still the one" with "for the kids", which completely changes the dynamic of the lyric.

454. "Heartbreaker" (Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin II, 1969)
I think this is my favorite Zepp album. Nirvana used to cover this at their shows, too.

453. "Message in a Bottle" (The Police, Reggatta De Blanc, 1979)
Why did a lot of the Police albums have such funky titles? Great song...

452. "Hurt" (Johnny Cash, Legend, 2005)
A Nine Inch Nails cover. I had a brief NIN fascination about a year ago, which did not last long. This version is way better.

451. "Head Over Heels" (Go-Go's, Talk Show, 1984)
Which one did you want to bang?

450. "When a Man Loves a Woman" (Percy Sledge, 1966)
Simply a classic.

449. "Dilemma" (Kelly Rowland & Nelly, Simply Deep, 2001)
Has kind of an old school feel to it. I'll always dig this.

448. "Getting Better" (The Beatles, Sgt Peppers, 1967)
Critics and fans agree that this is one of the greatest albums of all time, definitely in my top 10.

447. "Sundown" (Gordon Lightfoot, Sundown, 1974)
A timeless song.

446. "No One Else" (Weezer, The Blue Album, 1994)
I'm going with the acoustic version that was included on the deluxe reissue a few year's back. This version was one of the first song's I ever downloaded on kaazaa (sp?)

445. "Sequestered in Memphis" (The Hold Steady, Stay Positive, 2008)
I look forward to seeing these guys play great shows for a long, long time. Might even have to pick up some Lifter Puller records soon.

444. "We Both Go Down Together" (The Decemberists, Picaresque, 2005)
I believe this is the only song to be used on the paste samplers twice. This version, and an acoustic version that Colin Meloy did alone.

443. "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" (Rupert Holmes, 1979)
What a dirty song ! Sounds innocent, but it's dirty!

442. "Rosanna" (Toto, Essential Toto, 1982)
Another staple of early 80's radio. Still sounds great today.

441. "Le Ruse" (Tapes n Tapes, Walk It Off, 2008)
One of my favorite records of the last few years. Cannot wait for the next album.
