Instructions:
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your Livejournal along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.

1) Tom Petty and the Heatbreakers (with Stevie Nicks) "Insider"
There was a time in the late 70s/early 80s when I believe it was a law that every album released had to have a duet with Stevie Nicks on it. This is probably the best one. If you only download one song, download this one.

2) Matthew Good Band "Prime Time Deliverance"
Damn. The more I listen to Matthew Good, the more I like him.

3) Green Day "No One Knows"
I'm in love with the last part where Billie sings a voice-over harmony of different lyrics on top of the refrain. Sigh. (I'm not uploading it because everyone on my flist certainly has it. So go listen to it. Now.)

4) AFI "This Time Imperfect"
Not a huge fan of Davey and the boys (it's kinda stunning how they just exploded after so long), but this song is lovely. Just before the final chorus (at 3:12) he emits this "Oh..." that's heart-wrenchingly perfect.

5) Elvis Costello "Alison"
I saw the little teaser clip of Elvis and Billie performing this together (thank you tasyfa), and I love it even more. (Uhh, not to mention Billie Joe, if that's possible.)

6) The Living End "Bloody Mary"
The Living End is Australia's biggest band, and their latest CD was released here in the US on Adeline Records last Tuesday. (_somniac_ and I will be going to see them in San Francisco in August. We're definitely not hoping their record label owner will be there. Oh no, not us.) This song is actually off their first album from several years ago. Not sure why I like it, I just do.

7) Taking Back Sunday "A Decade Under The Influence"
Too catchy not to sing along with!

I'm only gonna tag _somniac_, with one restriction: no more than 2 Green Day songs!

I'm in love with the last part where Billie sings a voice-over harmony of different lyrics on top of the refrain ME TOO. I actually delayed going into work because I was listening to the song and couldn't bear to turn it off before that part.

Hee...me too. I've also sat in my garage waiting for it to end.

So go listen to it. Now.

Alright, alright! Lord, I love it too - it's gorgeous ;)

Ohhh my dear - it's been established that I am going to explode/melt/die when I see the entire performance. Repeatedly. *loooooong sigh* /fangirly-ness

Great choices ;)

Thanks!

I almost can't stand the thought of seeing all of Alison...that little part almost slayed me dead!

The Billie/Elvis Alison clip makes me FLAIL. It is too mind-bendingly cute for me to deal with.

And I remember the first time I heard No One Knows. I didn't even realize I was listening to Green Day anymore. It's such a gorgeous song, and one I haven't heard in awhile now, so thanks for forcing me to pay attention to it again!

I'm also debating using my last $10 iTunes gift certificate on AFI, so I'll download that ditty and see if makes up my mind for me. ;)

It's a bit atypical for AFI. It's off an earlier album, not their newest release (which Tas reviewed in her journal a few weeks ago, BTW)

WOOT. Thank you, sweet pea! This is great! *Adores* *lurves* *snuggles*
