About two months ago the song I was obsessed with was "Little Talks" by Of Monster and Men.
Lately it's the Lumineers "Hey Ho" and Naked and Famous "Young Blood".
I also was obssessed all summer with Rodrigio y Gabriella, especially "Tamacun".

Oh, and my throwback jam of the summer was "I Believe" by Blessed Union of Souls.
I don't care if anyone thinks that its cheesy. To me it still feels as powerful as it did when I was 12.

Bee Gees, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and the Foo Fighters. All greatest hits on my mp3.
Wow. Tired I am...Fave song lately has been Best of you by the Foo Fighters...followed by Nights on Broadway by the Bee Gees (which makes me smile because I think of the Barry Gibb Talk show when I hear it. The one bit of genius by Jimmy Fallon on SNL.)

And this was the summer of the Black Keys for sure. "Little Black Submarines" was epic.

I get obsessed with obscure rock/pop songs that I haven't heard in quite awhile, Most recently being Manfred Mann's version of "For You"

To think, this is a band famous for 'Blinded by the Light,' which is, ugh.
Did Manfred Mann ever actually do any original songs?
They got lucky 3 times with Bruce Springsteen songs, so they might at least owe him some money!

There's nothing wrong with recording songs written by other artists--it used to be the norm before The Beatles showed how artists could make a ton of money as songwriters!
And I'm sure Bruce makes a mint every time somebody records one of his songs. Another favorite of mine: Patti Smith's "Because the Night, co-written by Patti and Bruce.

Si!!!
I wouldn't say this is my favorite song or anything - but I heard the song, "Mercy" by the Welsh singer Duffy for the first time in a department store with my wife the other day:
and it made me start dancing right there in the store.
I never heard of her before, but I really thought it was an old Motown song or something. Sort of "Amy Winehouse"-y.

Yeah, its a few years old, and it's pretty fantastic. Duffy is pretty awesome all around. She has a lot of fast songs like Mercy and slow ballads, all in the style of early / mid 1960's motown yet with a very modern twist.
She was part of the 'movement' Amy Whinehouse started and now Adele is clearly leading.
