Bad Boyfriend vs. 50 Songs

A song from the first album you ever bought

I can't remember what the first album I bought was, because I've been buying records since I was a kid. However, I think the first CD I ever bought was We Can't Dance by Genesis, so... Let's go with "No Son Of Mine."

Your favourite single 

If by "single" you mean a song that was never released on an artist's album, I'd have to go with "Mull Of Kintyre" by Wings. Honorable mentions: "Holy Joe" by U2 and "Acquiesce" by Oasis. They weren't singles, but they were b-sides to singles. (This is complicated.)

Your favourite album track 

Confusing question. I'd go with "Live Forever" by Oasis (from Definitely Maybe), "Until The End Of The World" by U2 (from Achtung Baby) and "Why Do You Love Me" by Garbage (from Bleed Like Me).

A song by the first band/artist you saw live 

"Acelerar" by Timbiriche. So sue me. I was a kid growing up in Mexico in the 1980s.

A song from your childhood 

"Sing" by Carpenters. It took me many years to find out it was originally a song from Sesame Street.

A song by your favourite band/artist 

Besides the ones I've mentioned already... "Don't Look Back In Anger" by Oasis. One of the greatest live songs of all time, which he dedicated to "anyone of Mexican origin" when I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl.

A song that reminds you of a TV series

"Superhero" by Jane's Addiction, which is the theme song to Entourage and would also be a great theme song for my TV show.

Your most played song on iTunes 

"Hounds of Love" by The Futureheads, but this literally changes every week.
 
Favourite new release (has to be less than 2 months old)
