and Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah and Toto's Africa, because they are just saw awesome.
Africa: The most masterful use of the word "Serengeti" EVAR.
ReplyDeleteI love #4! And #9 is infectiously catchy. Nice transition from "top of the world" everything's great to corrupt/broken down bleak stuff. And who doesn't love the Sunday's "Wild Horses"? Cheesy, but oh so good!
ReplyDeleteNo, *this* is cheesey: Even though I've had "Blind" since it came out ("I Feel" and "Love" win forever and ever, btw), I will always associate "Wild Horses" with Buffy and Angel slow dancing at her prom. Heh.
