BB: Music you recommend

[katster]

Amazon and Pepsi have been running a promotion in which you can use codes off Pepsi products to get mp3s on Amazon. Now, I've banked about 100 of these points, so it's time I started looking at putting some of them to use. MP3s are five points each. So my question to y'all is the following: Is there any song that you think I need to hear? Obviously, I have veto power over this, and it would help if the song is in Amazon's mp3 collection (although I admit I'm impressed just how *broad* that category is), but I'm just looking for general recommendations.

Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

Wish I would've used this for our wedding song, but both of us forgot all about it:

"Forever" by Dropkick Murphys.

or for coolness...

"Just" by Mark Ronson

Just off the top of my head...

I'd recommend an Elton John song but I think you know most of his better-known tunes. Still, if you might be interested in him, he's got some great lesser-known tracks. I really need to put up links to youtube videos of the song names I used in the Battlefield group bot name file.

Anyway, Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy and Tumbleweed Connection are two good classic albums.

You should check out the Real Group and Swingle Singers. The Real Group is Swedish jazz, and the Swingle Singers are... well, the Swingle Singers.

Second vote here for the Swingle Singers

I'm drawing a blank at the sort of music you like, so I'll just toss out one I like that you are more likely to not have heard already: TV On The Radio - Wolf Like Me.

I'm a big Modest Mouse fan.

EDIT: and...wtf...blanking out...OH Rufus Wainwright. "Vibrate." Totally worth it.
