Can you name three songs that you love?1. One song that is well known and loved by millions and yes you love it too.2. One song tragically little known that many could easily love but, for now, loved only by you.3. And at last one song that you know is hard to love: (too strange or corney to share) but deep in your heart, that song lives there. Like a worm it lives there. eg1. popular2. should be popular 3. shouldn’t be popular but got damn it you still like it’

@futurebird 1. We Built This City - Starship. Yes I know it's loved and also loathed by many but I don't care. It's there and hit me when I was *the* age for it to embed itself. It's popular for a reason that works for me.2. Luxury Cruiser - T-Ride. Should be a classic like the best of Led Zep, Bowie, Stones, etc.3. Hubba Hubba Zoot Zoot - Caramba. I love this with more adoration than all other loathing for it combined.

@futurebird To do this properly, I would have to spreadsheet this out, but in the interest of keeping from becoming a six-month project.1) Great Gig in the Sky, Pink Floyd. https://music.apple.com/ca/album/the-great-gig-in-the-sky/1665303755?i=16653037632) I'm in love by The PepTides. https://music.apple.com/ca/album/im-in-love/541686000?i=5416860023) I have no idea how to answer this.

@futurebird Ooh for me 1 & 3 are easy, but 2 requires research.1. Killing me Softly (With His Song) –particularly the Shirley Bassey version2. Song of the United Front – fairly obscure in English, if not in its original German (Das Einheitsfrontlied), my favourite English cover is Kaiser Cat Cinema's. 3. Bad Squire – by Chumbawamba, a song version of the Kingsley poem about the Inclosure Acts.

@futurebird here are my 3:1. "Season of the Witch" by Donovan (I liked it before it was cool to be "witchy" [again])2.

Dang, this kind of stuff should be on the radio.https://carolinekeating.bandcamp.com/track/billy-joel3. Gangnam Style still makes me laugh my ass off every time I hear it.

@futurebird 1. Hammer to Fall, by Queen2. You'll Never Be Famous, by Hussalonia. Actually a lot of Nightvale fans will be aware of this song, but I don't know how generally liked it is.3. Somebody Else, by Kubb. The premise of the song is kind of whiny but I think the guy's voice sells it.

@futurebird Ohh my gosh where to begin!?I will limit myself to Christmas carols and songs for the winter season 😹(which unfortunately if I’m not careful will be a VERY long list 😹) Okay no.1On Christmas Night or the Sussex carol, arranged by Ralph Von Williams (if you have ever watched the Tailor of Gloucester by Beatrix Potter there are multiple variations of the tune in it🩷)No. 2Carol of the BellsI will have to give a group mention of all the wassails , because there are quite a few 😹

@futurebird 1. "I Wanna Be Sedated" by the Ramones. Probably hated by a ton of people, too, but they're no fun.2. "Hymn To The Local Gods" by Shriekback. All of Shriekback should be better known and loved, but this one is often overlooked even by people who do know them. ( Which seems to be a kind of neurodivergency test IME, though I've never figured out why.) Definitely deeply resonates with me as a pagan who loves the Small Gods, though.3. "Harry Houdini" by Kon Kan. It's entirely tacky crap but it's just a blast to dance to. :)

@futurebird "Istanbul Not Constantinople" b y They Might Be Giants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XlO39kCQ-8 It deserves its popularity."On the Painted Desert" by Boom Boom Satellites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNSzdmO-eAg It shows what a good composer can do with alternating between two chords. "Time to Be Awesome" from MLP: The Movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rgBWhNIDOE This song is PURE corny. It's from a movie about multicolored ponies. But... every time I hear it, I smile.

@futurebird This is an interesting challenge, especially for 2 and 3:1. Solsbury Hill, Peter Gabriel. This lives rent-free in my heart, just because.2. '39, Queen. Such music, such lyrics, but. Even I didn't get it until I paid attention.3. "My Neighborhood Totoro" opening theme (Japanese original). The entire movie and its music live rent-free in my heart but there's a whole collection of reasons it'll never be popular (at least outside of Japan).

@futurebird So many choices for each that I just have to go with the first one that pops into my head:1. I legit love "Fairytale of New York."2. I feel like Boston local stalwarts Hallelujah the Hills could be HUGE but somehow aren't, 20 years into their time as a band, so I'll name "Rebuilding Year" from their 2025 quadruple album Deck.3. Tristan da Cunha were a hard sell and "Strong Candidate/New Regime" is a sprawling math rock epic that I adore but get why it's not more widely known.

@futurebird I'm making a lot of assumptions about what you define as popular to hit the lowest common denominator.Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. As far as I can tell, it's one of the last songs of its kind to gain enough popularity that I could sing the first line and be pretty confident the other person will know the song.Fuck, this is a hard one to decide on since the most popular band I listen to barely breaks into the million views/listens/etc category. Animal's As Leader's The Problem of Other Minds. I regret part of it is a desperate wish to see more diversity in my favourite genre but also because I think they're pushing the genre is ways that are highly technical while still sounding beautiful to people who aren't trained musicians in a way we rarely see outside of Classical music.You wouldn't think it if you listened to some of his newer music (his sound got a lot more accessible as time went on IMO) but in an effort to not spend too long on this one, I'm going with Igorrr's Melting Nails. I'm a sucker for someone taking something batshit, seemingly just throwing shit at the wall, and making it into something that works. And that's like 75% of his sound. Aside from Savage Sinusoid, his music is usually too weird for me to recommend.

@futurebird 1. "Hallelujah" - Jeff Buckley (possibly the greatest cover version of any song ever)2. "Sugarcube" - Yo La Tengo (a perfect pop song)3. "Sons of 3rd Bass" - 3rd Bass (Serch is a bastard and the idea of 3rd Bass dissing the Beastie Boys is ludicrous, but...sigh...I wore out the Cactus Album)

As I understand it, it's a 'bootleg video' and was never released as a song. But corny and living rent free in my head? You betcha!)

@futurebird1. why so many people love Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel so much to put it here? I was protesting a motorway being built literally cutting into Solsbury Hill in the 90s, Peter Gabriel did nothing to speak out in support and I have hated him and the song ever since.But an option for this for me is New Order - Blue Monday2. Tim Minchin - If I Didn't Have You. One of my favourite songs ever and not widely known ime.3. Cool Patrol - Ninja Sex Party. This was on rotation on a portable speaker I had, and a friend literally looked at me like I was insane when he listened to it. It's kindof awful but I sortof still love it.

@futurebird 1. "Bohemian Rhapsody," Queen. It just rules. 2. "Another Holiday," The Other Ones. They were maybe a little late to ride the new wave, being from the later '80s, but I really love the female vocalist's voice, and this is a real bop. (I almost went with "Down for Whatever," by Ice Cube, because it never was a single?!?, but I think he and the song are too popular to fit the spirit of the question.)3. "Woman Sing to Me," REO Speedwagon. One of my favorite Gary Richrath songs from a band that I still call my favorite. I know most people won't follow me down, but dammit, they rock. https://youtu.be/RX8dCQRq61g

@futurebird 1. Jamiroquai: “Virtual Insanity”An absolute banger, almost 30 years later, with a video that aged beautifully as well.2. Moloko: “Over & Over”Róisín could sing the 1956 phone book of Oldenburg (IN) and it’d still be enchanting. But to me, this song really is the culmination of the band‘s discography. Too long to be a single, but it’s spacious and dense at the same time. And the sound!3. Vulfpeck: “Christmas in LA”Lighthearted, whimsical Christmas funk song. What’s not to love?

@futurebird 1. Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here This is an absolute classic and a very accessible song from them but it's perfect 2. Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas, CygnusIt might be a 3 because of the growl parts but there are so many people listening to metal it has a potential to be popular. The way the song is built and the last third of the song with its riff intertwined with the layers of Julie's voice is really something 3. HangedUp, No More Bad FutureThere's no singing, so is this even a song? Anyway, it starts with 3' of noise and breaks in the middle with more noise. It's just drums and a violin. I've been obsessed with this for 15 years

@futurebird 1. Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye. Was on both Guitar Hero and Rock Band and won a Grammy, and deservedly so.2. Cutouts - Paw of the Monkey. My song of the year, even if it was actually released as a single in 2024.3. Boyzone - Gave It All Away. It was never cool to like Boyzone. It's even less cool to like reunited Boyzone, as you don't have the excuse of being very young. But I like the effects/distortion on the keys, and one of the last songs with Stephen Gately, so poignant.

@futurebird 1. Under pressure - Bowie & Mercury2. Lazarus Drug - Meg Washington (not tragically little known, I’ve just never heard anyone else loving it, as much as I do)3. I choose you - Haven Paschall (sounds innocuous, until someone looks up the source. It’s from a Pokémon movie)

@futurebird Picking just one of any of these categories is not realistic. But I'll play along. 1. So as not to pick Bohemian Rhapsody, I'll say "I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band" by The Moody Blues. 2. "Music for Boys" by The Suburbs. It's a tragedy if it's not one of your favorites, too. 3. "Inner Universe" by Origa. And I don't even know ten words in Russian.

@futurebird1. “Let’s Dance” by Bowie.2. “Tinseltown in the Rain” by The Blue Nile 3. “You Bet Your Love” by Herbie HancockThat last one is from the absolutely worst disco album made at the nadir of Herbie’s career. I loathe disco. And yet I harbor a secret and shameful love for most of that album.

@futurebird 1) ELO, "Mr. Blue Sky" - Someone said ELO was the band the Beatles would've been had they lasted into the '70s. I can't really wear them out.2) The Weakerthans, "Plea From a Cat Named Virtute" - The Weakerthans had the sound of the band I would've wanted, and this song is both catchy and kind of poignant.3) 80's hair metal. It's all kinds of awful and problematic and should mostly go in the dumpster, but it still has a nostalgic pull for me.

@futurebird 1. "Cheek to cheek" (Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong). Who doesn't like it?2. "Musical fanzine" (Team Dresch). A song within a song, with a powerful message and heartfelt delivery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTVGUyb4kqw3. Hmmm. This is more difficult... Ok, got one. "That's Gangsta" (Shyne). I hate the performer, the producer, the lyrics and the general vibe, but damn, there's something I like and can't help bouncing with it. For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWpqMHEkWDQ

@futurebirdReally hard to narrow it down to just 3 favorite songs. Here's mine:1 Nina Simone: Sinnerman2 Happy Rhodes: When the Rain Came Down(should be more popular for the impressive vocal range)3 Herbert Grönemeyer: Currywurst(great lyrics illustrating drunken cravings for fast food)
