But, yes, I have many, many fond concert memories, including The Cure, Depeche Mode (one with OMD opening, who actually were cheered back to an encore, unheard of for opening bands..), Morrissey and others. I especially remember the Joshua Tree tour by U2 where if memory serves your folks gave us a ride to it. What a crowd.<br /><br /><br />Karen: schucks. I'l try harder next time in the pyschological scarring category. ;)<br /><br />Also, 'Asleep' was genuinely romantic in our books, also it was kinda our inside joke, because of course, no one pays attention to the lyrics. HEY, I would love (lurve) to tell you a story relating to that some time if you are interested....Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-63951321525206190492010-11-24T10:50:24.947-05:002010-11-24T10:50:24.947-05:00yeah, yeah, you know I'll be talking to you on...yeah, yeah, you know I'll be talking to you on the phone later, nerdo.karensomethingorotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476544335741075497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-1739884584338016532010-11-23T22:31:53.357-05:002010-11-23T22:31:53.357-05:00Hmmm.

That percy faith one almost killed me--I'm already WAY, WAY too crippled by that feeling of nostalgia, and this song is saturated with it. I'm sorry to say though, that "Brandi" is a song that could be on my next 20 ralphers. Still, it was a very eclectic list, and I like that.karensomethingorotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476544335741075497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-10065574741411428122010-11-23T14:54:53.611-05:002010-11-23T14:54:53.611-05:00I LOVE that Skydiggers song.

List must include Clapton<br /><br />Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers. Simple perfection in 2 minutes <br /><br />The Barber of Seville opera - as familiar as a Bugs Bunny cartoon and always makes me think of Elmer Fudd sprouting flowers instead of hair.<br /><br />Theme from a Summer Place - Percy Faith. <br /><br />Eyes of a Stranger - Payolas <br /><br />Boys of Summer - Don Henley. Mmmm Don Henley. ; )<br /><br />Brandy - Looking Glass. <br /><br />Peace Frog - The Doors<br /><br />I can't pick just 1 or 2 or 5 by other bands like the Cure, The Tragically Hip, Dierks Bentley (yes.. it's country Karen).<br /><br />We need to do a "who have you seen in concert?" I might need to go hang with Matt, I've seen Morrisey, Depeche Mode and the Cure (3 or 4 times!).Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-2527616139990614442010-11-23T13:36:09.227-05:002010-11-23T13:36:09.227-05:00steph, I love Patsy Cline too.

What I do have to say is this though: I love you and Paula, but "Asleep" as your wedding song choice?!? You kids are crazy!

No? Glad you recovered. Great band though. I think I also ruined the song Creep by Radiohead for Becky using the same twisting of lyrics technique. Guilty of many crimes, I am...<br /><br />So very agonizing it is to pick songs loved.<br /><br />When you mentioned songs that built up as they went on, I immediately thought of 'Troy' by Sinead O'Connor. Not one of my favourites, but a powerful song nonetheless.<br /><br />Hmm, I seem to be stalling. Okay, I will attempt to pick those cherished 'lurv' songs...<br /><br />Friday I'm In Love, by The Cure, also Fascination Street, Love Cats... hey I better quit it listing songs by this band; Somebody, by Depeche Mode, also But Not Tonight, Violator, I Feel You...okay, I've got these two out of the way! Deep breath.<br /><br />I won't repeat the songs you mentioned, Karen, but OMD and Simple Minds both still time warp me back. Remember, Secret and Book of Brilliant Things, respectively?<br /><br />The Wonder Stuff's Thirty Years In The Bathroom, Give Give Give Me More More More, Welcome To The Cheap Seats, etc.<br /><br />Everyday Is Like Sunday still can make me cry with heartache, as can November Spawned A Monster by Morrissey. The Smiths' Asleep happens to be our wedding song!<br /><br />More recently, Switchfoot's The Setting Sun and others.<br /><br />The Classic Crime's Four Chords.<br /><br />Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart (yes, one of Karen's hated tracks).<br /><br />And I still have a soft spot for hard bands like Skinny Puppy's Assimilate and Sister of Mercy's This Corrosion. I think I'll look them up on Youtube right now...<br /><br />Yet I'll still turn up lighter fare, such as A-ha's The Sun Always Shines on TV and Erasure's Addicted To Love.<br /><br />Canadianna such as Econoline Crush's Home and Treble Charger's Hundred Million.<br /><br />I guess I have narrow tastes, but the depths are endless. Many would disagree, I'll bet. Many more would rather I just stopped typing. So I will.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-43577266243843238962010-11-22T22:38:09.326-05:002010-11-22T22:38:09.326-05:00Stephy! You're right.
