Awe and Behold!

This is a very hard choice to make, but these are some of the songs i never grow tired of. ( And I often get tired of songs very fast...)

01. A Strange Day - The Cure
02. Time Machine - Ride
03. He Thought of Cars - Blur
04. Midnight Summer Dream - The Stranglers
05. Cherry Coloured Funk - Cocteau Twins
06. Shake The Disease - Depeche Mode
07. Crosseyed & Painless - Talking Heads
08. Burning Airlines Give You So Much More - Brian Eno
09. 1969 - Boards Of Canada
10. Nimrodel\The Procession\The White Rider - Camel
11. The Ghost In You - The Psychedelic Furs

Oopsie Daisy! Guess I made it 20 and ruined your whole concept... I'm sorry! But it was really hard emotionally to pick just 20 anyway. And by the way, I kept to one song per band, so I've been good, haven't I? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
