Will the real H please stand up? Please stand up?

Yeah, so I'm totally cheating here.  As I was making out my short list and I had so many "Heys" I just had to cheat...heh heh heh!!!!  It is still going to be damn hard to whittle this down to 7...carving out the Smiths just because we all know them (but there's 5 or 6 MONSTER Smiths here).  And carving out Pumpkins (heh heh).  Going for eclecticity here...would most likely be a different list tomorrow.

In the non-"Hey" division:

1) Head On - Jesus & Mary Chain - One of the ultimate high school love songs for me

2) How Beautiful You Are - The Cure - Some of the best lyrics of any Cure song

3) Heart of Gold - Neil Young - My favorite singer-songwriter and a true titan in rock history.  This song always brings a tear to my eye.

4) Hypocrite - Lush - so speaking of hooking me up with a date, do you know any cute Japanese-Hungarian musicians that dye their hair red?  Great song with a great vid.

5) The Holiday Song - The Pixies - Really dark lyrics but really fun song

6) Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap - So unique

7) The High Road - Broken Bells - Mercer + Mouse = Magic

BONUS) How Stupid Mr. Bates - The Police - obviously not one of my favorites but must be the inspiration for the worst person in TV history since Punky Brewster.  Not a bad song though.

  2. I missed this post somehow. Great songs, but I must confess Neil Young annoys me. Such a frat guy singer songwriter. :) I love being opinionated.

  3. I know a cute half Japanese half American gal who is way into music and can shoot a gun like nobody's business. She is perfect for you. But married. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a divorce. Seriously. She needs one.
