Isn't it great? I think I could listen to it all day, it makes me really happy, especially Jump and Sorry!
I am always listening to Gordon Lightfoot (the golden oldies), Alison Krauss and Bruce Springsteen. Lately I have been listening to:
Snow Patrol (Run and Chasing cars)
The Fray (How to save a life)
Anna Nalick (Breathe)
Jann Arden (Hangin' by a thread)

--- Quote from: ednbarby on January 15, 2007, 05:43:20 pm --- I was absolutely consumed by Green Day's "American Idiot" CD. I could not stop listening to it. From start to finish.

I did this for a while, too! And my son made me an all-Green Day mix that I listened to in between. I like a lot of those songs, but "American Idiot" is definitely their masterpiece.
Then it was on to Soul Asylum. I've been a big Soul Asylum fan for years -- they're from Minneapolis, as I am -- but they just put out their first album in about a decade, "The Silver Lining," and it's great. So this summer, I did a lot of driving alternating between that and the BBM soundtrack. For some reason, they complemented each other perfectly. In between, I alternated old Soul Asylum CDs, the Lords of Dogtown soundtrack, Garden State soundtrack, Keane, White Stripes, Coldplay, Johnny Cash mixes by my sons and other odds and ends...
And around Christmastime, I bought Lady Sovereign's album, and I've been listening to that pretty constantly since then.

I *love* Soul Asylum! Haven't listened to them in a long time, but "Runaway Train" is my favorite song of theirs - I think I posted its lyrics once on the "Songs that make me think of Brokeback Mountain" thread. Gotta do it again, just for old time's sake.

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
CHORUS
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it
CHORUS
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

God. I adore that song. Thanks for reminding me of it, Katherine.
And I agree - "American Idiot" is Green Day's masterpiece. What still slays me to this day when I listen to it is how "Jesus of Suburbia" and "St. Jimmy" are each five great songs all rolled up in one. Some bands work for decades trying to make just one song as good as any of those 10. And those 10 comprise only about 1/5 of the entire album!
I'm particularly partial these days to "Novacaine" and "Whats-Her-Name," but it's all brilliant.
