I don't have a single one. But listing them all would kill the thread.
So here's five that I always turn up loud when it comes up on shuffle or on the radio.
Shanghai Honey - Orange Range
I wish I could explain what it is about this bit of early Aughts Japanese bro-rock that has me cranking up the headphones and hitting the repeat button. Maybe it's the idea that I could do this at karaoke if I practiced for a few weeks?
Thunderstruck - AC/DC
I mean, c'mon? Does the joy of Thunderstruck need explaining? Do you need me to tell you how good oxygen is too? TBH I'd probably fill up a huge list of faves with AC/DC alone...
Buggin' Out - ATCQ
If you're not down with the Tribe then we can't be internet buddies. Sorry, I didn't make the rules. Listen to that bass. Listen to that opening verse, which... hot hip-hop take... is better than Inspectah Deck's opening to Triumph
Step Into a World - KRS-One
The Blast Master was at the top of his game when he dropped this. The flow is amazing. The lyrical skills are as heavy as the kick drum in the song. There's a reason KRS-One is always in the running for the GOAT conversations.
We Need to Talk - The Jadu
Because it dropped when I was young and in love and I'm really just a big old softy.
