I am Shiva

Yes, I's are deep...lots of I, If, In, It's, etc...this will be interesting. Man, I'm leaving off some heavy hitters...Zero 7, PM Dawn, one of my favorite Oasis songs, two DCFC songs, Tribe, etc. I think only three of these songs would stick on the list every iteration (In My Life, It's a Motherfkr, and Isabella of Castille). May post vids later, but encourage you to Youtube these if you haven't heard them before.


I Want You Back - Jackson 5 - Hot damn, this is a good song.


I Would Die 4 U - Prince - One of the rockingest songs about the Holy Trinity you'll ever hear.

I'm not a human
I am a dove
I'm your conscience
I am love
All I really need is to know that
You believe

I'm Cold - The Cure - Narrowly edged out "Icing Sugar" for the Cure spot. God, I love Cure bass and angry Cure, and this is the best of both worlds.

But it was you who wanted love
Not romance
You have to pay the price
My body may be made of fire
But my soul is made of ice

In My Life - The Beatles - OK, I think this is the last of my must have Beatles songs. If you don't like this song, you are a nazi serial killer.

Isabella of Castille - Strfkr - Man, those tear drops are sick. Gotta love a song named after one of the most awesome monarchs of all time.

It's a Motherfkr - Eels - One of the most beautiful songs I've heard. Edged out "I Like Birds" for the Eels spot.

It's Different for Girls - Joe Jackson - Already linked to this one before, but its that good. Takes last slot.

  1. In My Life was on my list too. I eeny mo mineyd it out. Isabella of Castille was a bit too Spanish Inquisitiony, don't ya think. I haven't heard the song though. Will give it a listen. You have more Cure than anyone alive. Angry cure is the best.

  2. Truthfully, I only know a couple of these ones. Isabella properly represents everything great about StrFkr. It's a Motherfkr is one of those songs you want to learn on the piano, but never sing out loud.
