Songs you can have on Repeat All Day

HangTime said:
I do this a lot, I've never really used playlists for music so just tend to pick songs manually and then listen to them for hours, days, or somethimes even weeks on end.

Here's some examples of tracks which have been left in Winamp / HiFi for a week or more:

Sarah Mclachlan - Sweet Surrender
Orbital - Halycon & On & On
Oasis - Slide Away
Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love
The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary
Stereophonics - Just Looking
Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
Foo Fighters - Everlong (acoustic)
Hurricane #1 - Step into my World
Joan Osbourne - One of Us
Jamelia - Superstar
Paul van Dyk - For an Angel
System F - Devotion

If I was list tracks I could listen to all day, it would probably rank in the hundreds. I tend to binge on single tracks for a few days and then leave them alone for months or even years.

That list reminds me of my ex-gf....you are a man aren't you? :P
 
I think about the only song that I never skip is Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird and could listen to it for a very long time without getting bored of it, however even then there are limits and I'd hate to put myself off it.

Honourable mentions go to:
Space - Female Of The Species
The Stranglers - Golden Brown
The Police - Englishman In New York
Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes

Yep. I wasn't aware that bingeing on a list of of tracks spanning trance, r'n'b, indie, rock and pop could only be done by females :)
At the last Oasis gig I went to there was probably at least as many men as women.

I just remembered another track:
Apocalyptica - Hope

A song about golden syrup.

Pure genius:p

There is a theory that the song is about heroin (or more generally drug taking) but it does at least seem to reference Odysseus and the Sirens with "Every time just like the last, On her ship tied to the mast" which has to put it a bit above most for linking with Greek mythology.

A few more songs that I can happily listen to on repeat:
Paul Young - Everywhere I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)
Wilco - Jesus, etc.
Journey - Don't Stop Believing
 
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Pink Floyd - Wish you were here
Pink Floyd - Brain Damage
U2 - Pride/In the name of love
U2 - With or without you
Sarah McLachlan - Possession (acoustic)
Delirium - Silence
White Town - Your Woman
The Futureheads - Hounds of Love
The Libertines - Can't stand me now
The Libertines - Don't look back into the sun
Babyshambles - **** forever
NIN - Closer
The Mamas and the Papas - California Dreaming
The Stone Roses - I wanna be adored
Radiohead - Street Spirit
Massive Attack - Aftersun
Massive attack - Unfinished symphony
Massive Attack - Teardrop

I reckon Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers would be a bit hacked off having a String solo track attributed to the group! Know I certainly would for some of String's girlier solo tosh.

Allegedly Copeland and Sting weren't exactly on good terms by the time The Police split anyway so I don't imagine they would but yep I made a mistake there, easyrider pointed it out less than 10 minutes after I posted and I acknowledged the error. :)
