Your "Coolest" Songs

[Angie]

Hey, nothing sucks in this list!

I agree, it doesn't, but most don't really fit the "cool" thing in the way the thread means. I don't mean, like, "Wow, this song makes me really cool by listening to it," I mean more that the song has an intrinsic "cool" sound to it. Here's a few more:

"Dry the Rain" - The Beta Band
"Moneymaker" - Rilo Kiley
"All The Young Dudes" - Mott the Hoople (this one less than the other two)

I'm not really sure how to put what I'm looking for into words, but I think there are definitely people who have understood where I was going with it.

How can you mention Rilo Kiley and not mention "Smokedetector" ;-)

Rocked out to "One More Time" by Daft Punk this morning. Surprisingly good song to start a 6am workday.

Posting just so I can come back and add a bunch of these to my spotify playlist.

Blurred Lines and Thrift Shop. Hate away but they make my day when I hear them.

How dare you.


You fools! The obvious answer is:

Angie-Rolling Stones

LOVE that song. I debated between the two, but I think I'd just heard "Moneymaker" on my iPod.

I was named after that song. A classic!

Kandi by One Eskimo.

I was just thinking of "Come Together" by the Beatles as maybe their "coolest." But I'm not sure.

I'd have to go with Helter Skelter.

Holy crap! I just realized as I was reading thru that this is an old thread -- when I ran across some of my own posts!

I believe that Sympathy for the Devil might be the greatest Rocknroll song of all time. Paint it Black is my ringtone for my phone.

Truth be told, I'm not a huge Stones fan, but I've learned to appreciate The Stones and Beatles more over time. They were pretty amazing.

I love the Stones, and really like the Beatles. They each do what they do, and it's fairly specific. Stones are straight-up rock, but they throw in orchestral stuff, or really sparse beautiful stuff like "Wild Horses." The Beatles really just sort of changed the face of music. IMO, "Revolver" was the pinnacle of their career, but I'm not one of those "I only like early Beatles" or "I only like late Beatles" people - it's all pretty amazing.

Love the thread.

I've always thought found some of Bruce Springsteens music from the 1970's-early 80's to be very "cool". Some of his best work IMO were songs over 5 minutes long (closer to 8+ minutes), so they wouldn't ever get radio play.

Not sure how I could forget "Stray Cat Strut." Only a little jimlad.
