These are in no particular order. Just recommendations of 10 5 star songs in my iTunes playlist. They all have great memories attached to them. If you don't have these songs, get them. That is all. 1) Laurent Garnier - Acid Eiffel (I played the fuck out of this track while on tour in Paris. Gee, I wonder why? Deeper than Madonna, this is) 2) A Perfect Circle - The Noose (Look up beautiful in the dictionary. Here you will find a picture of this song. The progression is brilliant) 3) Radiohead - Everything In It's Right Place (No need to go into detail on this one)? 4) Tool - The Grudge (Fucking flawless) 5) Squarepusher - Tundra 4 (A programmer's hard on in a 12-minute session) 6) Red Snapper - They're Hangin Me Tonight (The title speaks volumes about the violin) 7) Plaid - Ralome (My wife and I used this song as our first dance at our wedding three weeks ago. That's gotta be a first. Plaid for your first dance. This song will always have a special place in my heart) 8) DJ Shadow - What Does Your Soul Look Like Pt. 1 (I first heard this track, while trying to sleep in my dorm room my freshman year of college; 1999. It was so beautiful that I could not sleep. I literally sat up, listened to it and my jaw dropped. So I listened to it a few more times. Then I kind of laid back in bed and took a while to finally get back to sleep. Top notch). 9) Underworld - Born Slippy (This song basically got me into electronic music. Enough said). 10) Tortoise - I Set My Face To The Hillside (One of the greatest blend of genres that I've ever heard in my life).
