What songs do you have on your IPod that you think nobody else has?

[Liberty Belle]

Wow. Too many to list.

Umm...I have School House Rock's "Figure Eight," lots of Billy Bragg, Leonard
Cohen's "Hallelujah," Jesus and Mary Chain's "Happy When it Rains," Flesh for Lulu's "Postcards from Paradise"...

 

[Liberty Belle]

I was reading the "ringtone" thread and figured that nobody else would have my ringtones. So that made me wonder... what songs do you have on your IPod that you think aren't very popular?

Some unique songs by popular artists:
1. Midnight in Chelsea by Jon Bon Jovi
2. Out in the Street by Bruce Springsteen (reminds me of Lujack from Guiding Light... *sigh*)
3. Can'tcha Say You Believe In Me by Boston

Some songs that I would think might not be very popular:
1. I Wish I Had a Girl by Henry Lee Summer
2. All I Need by Jack Wagner
3. I've Been Thinking About You by Londonbeat
4. Run Runaway by Slade

I've got that one!

 

[Liberty Belle]

DH has the Slade song on his Ipod. (so no, not that very rare)


Some unique songs by popular bands:

Romeo and Juliet Dire Straits
Hot Patootie - Meatloaf (Rocky Horror)
Russians - Sting

Unpopular songs:

I love that song. I have it on CD.

I not only have the Slade version, but the remake by Great Big Sea (Canadian Celtic Rock band)


Six was having problems adjusting to his clone status - best line of that song. Got it too.
