Brett’s recent top 25 songs

Brett’s recent top 25 songs list naturally prompted me to throw together a list of my own. This is what I came up with.
Top 25 Songs in the Entire Universe
(as of right now and in no particular order)

1) “I Really Should Have Gone Out Last Night” – Dirty Three

2) “A Shot in the Arm” – Wilco

3) “Sunflower” – Low

4) “Folsom Prison Blues” – Johnny Cash

5) “There is a Light That Never Goes Out” – The Smiths

6) “If You’re Feeling Sinister” – Belle & Sebastian

7) “Mutiny in Heaven” – The Birthday Party

8) “Who Are You” – Tom Waits

9) “Seven” – Sunny Day Real Estate

10) “Bled White – Elliott Smith

11) “Let Down” – Radiohead

12) “The Bells” – Pedro the Lion

13) “Letter From an Occupant” – The New Pornographers

14) “Savory” – Jawbox

15) “Kiss Off” – Violent Femmes

16) “The City” – The Dismemberment Plan

17) “Alison” – Elvis Costello

18) “I See a Darkness” – Bonnie Prince Billy

19) “Suedehead” – Morrissey

20) “The World Has Turned and Left Me Here” – Weezer

21) “I Drive a Lot” – Starflyer59

22) “Break” – Fugazi

23) “Lovesong” – The Cure

24) “Paranoid” – Black Sabbath

25) “Hyper-ballad” – Bjork

Of course, all standard disclaimers apply. At any given moment there are so many other songs that could have easily been on this list, but I suppose that’s always implicit in lists like these.
