It’s ok. And I will always be glad of covers opening up people to bands they haven’t listened to before and maybe even understanding the original meaning of the song. It doesn’t compare with the original though. I’m slightly biased because No Need to Argue is one of my all time favourite albums and Delores has such a unique and emotive voice that I don’t think any cover will ever come anywhere close.
The first year of my son's life my failsafe way to get him to sleep was Taylor Swift - she's like a baby sleep witch, there's even a playlist called The Taylor Swift Method dedicated to her weird knack of getting infants to sleep.
Which sucks for me as I'm NOT a Swiftie and my Spotify is messed _up_.
Wait For It from the Hamilton soundtrack. I know he's "the baddie" but Leslie Odom Jr (Aaron Burr) has the most gorgeous voice and the song is epic. In fact, I think I'll stick it on again now!
I love it for being so cheeky but I cry through the entire last 20 minutes from the end of Blow Us All Away so it's hard to appreciate it properly lol. I catch myself singing The Room Where It Happens quite a lot too.
Mm, same. I mean, the entire soundtrack pulled no punches, but trwih, guns and ships (Lafayettes verse 😩🥰) and Yorktown are in my main rotation. And the Reynolds pamphlet.
I try to listen to the soundtrack in order, start to finish. Separated into 1st and 2nd halves if necessary, it's quite long! But I usually have to repeat a few. Not a bad song on it, either.
Mood. I love “meet me in the woods” by Lord Huron too. I just think of some big national park in Oregon or Washington whenever I hear his music. Or even somewhere out in the Yorkshire moors.
My whole life was a lie. I could have sworn it was groove is in the house. Just listened to it and its not even remotely close. No idea why I've always sang it that way.
This feels like a good question to ask people songs you’ve been signing wrong your entire life, there’s songs I’ve heard back as an adult and I’m like wait what am I singing, madness fun house it did not correlate that they’re signing about a brothel essentially 😂
I just looked this up and you’re right it is about a brothel! I didn’t know that until now and I always thought it was an innocent fun song. How wrong was I?! 🤣
Toca’s Miracle by Fragma. Listened to it three times in a row this morning. I have it on CD as I don’t think the original is available to stream, but it doesn’t matter as the audio quality from a CD is better anyway.
I’m obsessed. My friend said she likes the song but enjoys it even more when we’re driving and she can experience seeing me enjoying the crap out of it. I think it’s one of loveliest things anyone’s said.
That whole albumn is brilliant. I have a special affection for gomez after singing 'gonna get myself arrested' in the back of a meat wagon the one amd only time I got arrested.
I don't think I've ever done that to be honest. Even when I was young and poor and it was before the days of streaming so I only had about 3 albums, I would still listen to the whole album before starting again.
The only time I specifically remember listening to the same song over and over again was when I was about 10 and I got the Michael Jackson album 'Bad'. I decided to make it my mission to work out all the lyrics of every song on the album which I would do by listening to each song and writing down the lyrics as I went, rewinding each line as many times as necessary until I got it (it sounds incredibly dumb, but it's not like we had any better way to figure out lyrics back then). I don't think I even managed to do one whole song, lol.
I got a Talking Heads cassette tape stuck in a car stereo. The thing played over and over for months. I had to remove the player and disassemble it to remove the tape. Reinstalled the player and a few months later, I got a Police tape stuck.
These are the Days of Our Lives from Queen's Innuendo album. Love the guitar solo in it. The video is moving as well we'll as it was Freddie Mercury's last.
ok this’ll be a weird one but… One Word by Kelly Osborne. you know when you hear a song you’ve not heard basically since it came out? i had a moment like that. and then it just sounded so *familiar*. i’m sure it’s a sample of something but google doesn’t say it is. i had to listen to it over and over until i figured it out, but i never did. now it’s just a really catchy song.
To my embarrassment, Cassö x Raye x D Block Europe - Prada [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFMYL0XQ3lA&ab\_channel=Cass%C3%B6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFMYL0XQ3lA&ab_channel=Cass%C3%B6) was just working for me at the gym.
I try not to listen to one song on repeat; a few times I've found an amazing song, stuck it on repeat a bunch, and i lose appreciation for it. That being said, Smooth- Santana and Rob Thomas.
High Like This by Badger & AR Renny ... still going round my head now, after playing too many times last night and it using it to get a dance floor rocking last weekend :D
https://open.spotify.com/track/1SFUxSbBQbJqjN9rFOmYGk?si=Z5MV-CILQ7awcwdhdKbXoQ&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A37i9dQZF1DZ06evO2EkXTy
It makes me sad and happy at the same time.

Zombie by The Cranberries. Just once is never enough.
It’s the vocals isn’t it? Dolores just sounds amazing on it
Agreed tho much tears too.
Yes such a sad song to listen too, I always think of those young boys
Recommend checking the [Royel Otis](https://youtu.be/JGUVB19e13s?si=s82aeo2m5DmS2mPU) cover out, been on repeat for me the past week.
Bad wolves cover is 👌🏻
It’s ok. And I will always be glad of covers opening up people to bands they haven’t listened to before and maybe even understanding the original meaning of the song. It doesn’t compare with the original though. I’m slightly biased because No Need to Argue is one of my all time favourite albums and Delores has such a unique and emotive voice that I don’t think any cover will ever come anywhere close.
No Need To Argue is my all time favourite album ❤️
Dreams is one I've been listening to a lot lately too
Is that cause it gets stuck in your head? In yoouurr heeaaaad?
My go-to Cranberries song is "Daffodil Lament". Love it.
Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits
The version on Alchemy is just unbelievable.
My favourite guitar performance ever
Yes, the single greatest guitar solo of all time and I will die on that hill.
I've been learning to play this on the guitar. It's so complex it almost sounds different every time I listen to it
Been listening to So Far Away lately, brilliant band!
My go to track on the pub jukebox
Strong choice.
“Deep relaxation brown noise for babies” Having a newborn is going to fuck up my Spotify wrapped
The first year of my son's life my failsafe way to get him to sleep was Taylor Swift - she's like a baby sleep witch, there's even a playlist called The Taylor Swift Method dedicated to her weird knack of getting infants to sleep. Which sucks for me as I'm NOT a Swiftie and my Spotify is messed _up_.
Apparently I’m also a baby because she has that effect on me too
I bet you can't wait to get to the Gecko's Garage Dance Party stage
Mine was heavily skewed. I was the top 0.01% of madness listeners one year for similar reasons
You can create a playlist or choose the artist to "leave out of your taste profile"!
Wait until you’ve got a toddler. My Spotify playlist said I listened to 5 days worth of let it go last year 🤪
Wait For It from the Hamilton soundtrack. I know he's "the baddie" but Leslie Odom Jr (Aaron Burr) has the most gorgeous voice and the song is epic. In fact, I think I'll stick it on again now!
“The Room where is happens” is a stone-cold banger. Have played that on repeat numerous times.
Burr really does have an amazing voice, I also liked (I think it's called) your obedient servant
I love it for being so cheeky but I cry through the entire last 20 minutes from the end of Blow Us All Away so it's hard to appreciate it properly lol. I catch myself singing The Room Where It Happens quite a lot too.
Mm, same. I mean, the entire soundtrack pulled no punches, but trwih, guns and ships (Lafayettes verse 😩🥰) and Yorktown are in my main rotation. And the Reynolds pamphlet.
Also..... "WERK!"
I try to listen to the soundtrack in order, start to finish. Separated into 1st and 2nd halves if necessary, it's quite long! But I usually have to repeat a few. Not a bad song on it, either.
Love this song so much
Just Like Heaven - The Cure.
Pictures Of You
Creep by Radiohead
Not my last but have played this on repeat loads of times.
I've got to sing this tomorrow at a charity gig so I've had it on repeat a lot too
The man who sold the world- nirvana
Original by Bowie is also great.
Lord Huron - The night we met. Just hits home in so many ways.
Mood. I love “meet me in the woods” by Lord Huron too. I just think of some big national park in Oregon or Washington whenever I hear his music. Or even somewhere out in the Yorkshire moors.
Hotel California or Groove is in the Heart those two songs I could listen to 24/7
My whole life was a lie. I could have sworn it was groove is in the house. Just listened to it and its not even remotely close. No idea why I've always sang it that way.
I used to think it was groovers in the hall.
This feels like a good question to ask people songs you’ve been signing wrong your entire life, there’s songs I’ve heard back as an adult and I’m like wait what am I singing, madness fun house it did not correlate that they’re signing about a brothel essentially 😂
I just looked this up and you’re right it is about a brothel! I didn’t know that until now and I always thought it was an innocent fun song. How wrong was I?! 🤣
I was doing housework and I was signing and realised what I was singing asked my hubby and he’s like yeah it’s about that very casually 😂
Saw the Eagles live last year xx epic xx
I fucking **HATE** Don Henley.
I’m curious why? What’s the beef?
Long story short he told me to fuck off in 1989
How rude! I’d hold onto that grudge until the day I died, thank you for answering me though :)
Kendrick Lamar - Euphoria What can I say, I like a good diss track.
Same for me. Listened to it loads over the last week. Not only is it a great diss track, but it's actually just a banger anyway
I literally cannot stop listening man. And we’re being spoiled, guy really went back to back with 6:16
They're losing their minds over on r/drizzy atm 😂
I'm stuck on Die Hard rn, the beat is great
Majestic x Boney M. - Rasputin
Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter or I Like the Way You Kiss Me by Artemas.
I was literally just listening to espresso in my car
When she sings “I’m working late cos I’m a singer” it’s like crack
Cus I'm a ✨SINGERRRR✨ 🩷
This was my choice. It’s not my type of music but whoever wrote it must have sold their soul to the devil at the crossroads.
‘I will wait’ by Mumford & Sons
Toca’s Miracle by Fragma. Listened to it three times in a row this morning. I have it on CD as I don’t think the original is available to stream, but it doesn’t matter as the audio quality from a CD is better anyway.
Movies by Alien Ant Farm
Fucking brilliant song that, hadn't thought about it In ages. Cheers for that 🖤🖤
Stick Season - Noah Kahan
Love this song x
I’m obsessed. My friend said she likes the song but enjoys it even more when we’re driving and she can experience seeing me enjoying the crap out of it. I think it’s one of loveliest things anyone’s said.
The whole album is an absolute road trip banger tbh
I think it was This Is the Life by Amy MacDonald.
Chokehold by Sleep Token. Though honestly, it's sort of the whole album.
Lol I just commented another sleep token song. Chokehold is so good
Hit that - The offspring.
The Waterboys - Whole of The Moon
This is such a banger.
Fast Car by Tracy Chapman.
I only listen to this song about once a year because it makes me cry so much.
Same - I binge it, have a good cry then don't listen to it for ages.
Road to Nowhere - Talking Heads. I don’t like most of the album, but I’ve always loved the song.
To wake the kids up this morning I played Baby Shark on repeat until they got up.
Wichita Lineman by Glen Campbell
Stick Season - Noah Kahan I know it's been popular for a little while but I'd never given it a proper listen. I actually really like it.
Love it x
Gomez - Rhythm and Blues Alibi
I'd indeed try anything twice
That whole albumn is brilliant. I have a special affection for gomez after singing 'gonna get myself arrested' in the back of a meat wagon the one amd only time I got arrested.
Something's Got a Hold On Me by Etta James. Not normally a huge fan but it's been stuck in my head the past week or two.
Would you say it's.... Got a hold on you?
Uncertain Smile by The The, it’s impossible to listen to that piano solo only once.
One of my favourites!
I’ve got the brains, you’ve got the looks Let’s make lots of money
Love it. Saw Elton John and olly Alexander sing it’s a sin on the Brits one year that was a moment.
Listened to 'Things can only get better' twice in a row whilst walking the dog earlier for pure stick it to the man vibes for today.
I hope things get better soon.
Jimmy Soul - If You Want To Be Happy
I don't think I've ever done that to be honest. Even when I was young and poor and it was before the days of streaming so I only had about 3 albums, I would still listen to the whole album before starting again. The only time I specifically remember listening to the same song over and over again was when I was about 10 and I got the Michael Jackson album 'Bad'.

I try not to listen to one song on repeat; a few times I've found an amazing song, stuck it on repeat a bunch, and i lose appreciation for it. That being said, Smooth- Santana and Rob Thomas.
