| No Sufjan Stevens? Even ignoring the Christian aspects of his music, "Vito's Ordination Song" always makes me feel a little guilty about not being closer to my family (but guilty in the "I wish I could be this optimistic" way). |
|
| whiteboysushi: Is it really surprising to you that someone who appreciates Christina Aguilera and Lenny Kravitz doesn't include Sufjan Stevens on a list like this one? |
|
| Sorry, for a second I thought I was at Pitchfork/CMG/any other music site on the internet. |
|
| Mandy Moore - "Have a Little Faith in Me" |
|
| You really like Moore's version better than Hiatt's? That's sad. Clem - I love your lists (especially the explanations), keep 'em coming. |
|
| Zarklephaser: is it that inconceivable that I might also like S.S. (I don't, for the record)? |
|
| Very nicely done, Clem. After reading this it seems we're more alike than I would have previously guessed. |
|
| So... Z-Phizzle got it right then. Yes? Yes.
And that Sinead song is truly awesome. Truly. |
|
| Am I missing something on the Zarkle front? |
|
| Jesus, etc or Theologians? "Isn't She Lovely?" gets me every time. Also, it fucking pisses me off that your honesty was met with such snide posing. |
|
| Oh, I'm just saying that Zarkle predicted you wouldn't like Sufjan, and you then said as much. Not that he's got anything on your taste or inspired Top Tens, just that he got this one right for once. |
|
| Ahh... Well, he's not *entirely* correct - the reason I don't like Sufjan is not because I like Xtina and Lenny Kravitz, it's because I think he's dull.
Hyde, apparently "Isn't She Lovely" was playing in the maternity ward when I was born.

| I want to add "Eye Know" off of Prince's Lovesexy album. As a matter of fact, Prince has quite a few of them. |
|
| embarrassing enough, i cried watching the Jesus Walks video the day after a hard night of binge drinking and drugs. six months later i reaffirmed my faith in Christ.
the r. kelly song You Saved Me kinda gets to me. |
|
| I think you gotta mention "Shine a Light" off Exile on Main Street here... Some more reggae too, Dr. Alimantado's "Born for a Purpose", Bob Marley "Jah Live"... Otis Redding "Amen"... Kanye "Never Let Me Down... Even VU's "Jesus"... Fuck, Van Morrison "Full Force Gale" would've been a good answer... Lenny Kravitz doesn't make me wish for anything besides a better radio station. |
|
| Actually, I realised after I sent it that I left out Culture's 'I'm Alone In The Wilderness'; that's a corker, too. |
