Me too. Well, not ambient/chillout, but a lot of good Irish stuff, mellow stuff from movie soundtracks (Elliot Goldenthal is the best), a cool album that's Christopher O'Reilly playing piano versions of Radiohead, a lot of Enya and Maríe Brennan, and my favorite Irish group: Anúna. Most my songs, since I have iTunes moderate them and I reset the playcounts a few months back and I have a lot of music, are approaching playcounts of 8 or 9. All my mellow songs, since I sleep to them and they play all night, are approaching 19 and 20. I don't like them twice as much, they just play all night.

Free Bird
Dec 15, 2007 Professor Chaos link
Tonight, Tonight by the Smashing Pumpkins,
Butterflies and Hurricanes by Muse,
Or maybe
To Be Free by Emilíana Torrini, mostly for the chorus:
"It shouldn't hurt me to be free
It's what I really need
To pull myself together
But if it's so good being free
Would you mind telling me
Why I don't know what to do with myself"

For Vendetta: "Magic Carpet Ride" - Steppenwolf (go check out "Grouchymedia.com" and their "Magic F-18 Ride" to figure out the why.

In General:
Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
Honkytonk Badonkadonk - Trace Adkins (yes I listen to country, so shoot me)
& all of AC/DC, Metallica and Aerosmith

You Know You're Right - Nirvana
Repulsion - Dinosaur Jr.
Dead Womb - Death From Above 1979
Once/Yellow Leadbetter/Porch - Pearl Jam

It was hard narrowing it down to those six, any farther than that is almost impossible.

I can't believe I didn't weigh in on this post before.

Favorite song ever? Like, as in I can listen to it over and over and over and over and still not hate it and never ever ever get tired of it?

Creeping Death, Ride the Lightning Album, Metallica.

Yeah, even as a 36-year old fat white guy you can still catch me at the Metallica concerts, waiting until the last song of the night (almost inevitably Creeping Death), and screaming "Die By My Hand" with the entire stadium. If they're still touring 5, 10, 25 years from now I'll still be there screaming with 'em.

If I let iTunes decide, "Vaudeville Villain" by Viktor Vaughn aka MF Doom comes first.

"Schism" (Tool), "The Speed of Pain" (Marylin Manson) and "Astronomy" (Metallica version) are not far behind.

"Haunted" is stuck in my head.

Hurt is pretty cool, I actually prefer the Johnny Cash version. I wasn't interested when I heard he covered it, since I can't stand his music (though I admire his talent), but once I heard it, I couldn't stop playing it. I like how he replaced "crown of shit" with "crown of thorns." It's much more meaningful, and doesn't offend my friends.

More good ones. I'm not the most emotional person, but if there was a song that would make me tear up, half of Selmasongs by Björk would do the trick (even though the movie sucked):

Overture
I've Seen It All (with Thom Yorke)
Scatterheart
New World

Incredibly powerful, emotional soundtrack, deep meaningful lyrics, sad yet hopeful. So good I watched the movie, then I was mad and had to listen to the soundtrack again to be sure I wasn't crazy.

I have been listening to Mars the bringer of war its been on loop and playing 24 hours a day now when I close my eyes all I can see is my kestrel in EVN shooting its two Capacitor Pulse Laser beams burning through carriers that have just lifted of Earths surface, as my polaron multi torpedoes hunt down any fed vipers that got out of the bay before it became a large ball of expanding gas.

Fell the wrath of Ory Hara you federate scum.
