    I like this one 'cause it's simple and true: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebt0BR5wHYs

    I've always liked that song. 8.5/10

    When we got married, the Beloved and I compiled a CD* as a gift for all our wedding guests - one side (as if it were an LP) was her songs about romance, and the other mine. One of mine was this, which has a sort of charmless charm that's entirely representative of what I wanted love to be like when I was thirteen, and which I was delighted to find when I was forty. Also - come on - ex-skinhead Midlands band with a classically-trained violinist. It's an Evelyn Waugh story waiting to happen.


    *(The CD was entitled George Washington Kicked Your A**, which was the wording on a cardboard sign the Beloved's little sister held up in Arrivals at Newark airport when I first went to NJ to meet the family.)

    Not to bad, not that good. 5/10

    But I'm in the mood for somethin' a little more twangy and soulful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkx68...eature=related

    And that is the kind of country music song that makes me not like country music: 1/10.

    I kept waiting for something, anything, to happen, and it never did. 2/10.

    I've been listening to a lot of rock from the 90s lately. I miss the 90s, when a lot of popular music was good. Like this.

    It happened calmly, on its own,
    The way the night comes when day is done."

    Mark beat me to it.

    hoope -- It's a little too sappy and polished for my taste. I likin' this right now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omZ05EtVVTg

    Mark -- Love the Pretenders and that song is great. 8/10

    Sorry Comedian this song is not for my taste, so I give it only 4/10.

    Here is a what I'm listening to and loving it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGI-4laiYb0&ob=av2e

    It's better 6/10.

    I found something I used to be fond of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WcB7...eature=related
    There is no video, but we vote the music here don't we?

    I can imagine myself enjoying this song more at a bar at a seaside town on a summer night but at the moment I am in the UK on a rather chilly October night: 5/10
