Day 30: A song from your favorite band
This is not hard for me. Top 5 would be hard for me. But the top? The #1? My absolute favorite? There’s no contest. There’s no band I have listened to anywhere near as much as I have listened to Bright Eyes. It’s a personal love. I rarely recommend Bright Eyes to someone, unless they have a really similar taste in music to me. It’s not that I don’t want others to listen to them, I just don’t love them in the way that I think their music is so amazing that everyone needs to listen to it and love it. I love them in the way that their music has meant SO much to me over the years. I could post a song of theirs for every day of the month and still not get to all of my favorites. Here’s one:
Bright Eyes - Old Soul Song (for the New World Order)

They broke up in 2013 and have gotten back together...the prompt says no bands that have broken up by death, if we eliminate bands that have broken up and gotten back together the pool is fairly small. Didn't want to go with something as easy as the beatles or abba.

Almost a year! Congrats on making what is mine and many others I’m sure favorite thread!
Not sure I’d say I wish they were STILL together, it’s okay to retire at some point musicians. But I do wish they had made more than the two fantastic albums they did make before breaking up.

I know they technically keep getting back together but I’m going to assume they’ve broken up again after Perry Farrell just punched Dave Navarro on stage but their energy never was the same after their first break up in 1991.

I have mixed feelings about this but their music is so good. Morrissey is highly offensive more often than he's not and yet, The Smiths in concert would be incredible. Nostalgia is a helluva a drug
Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - The Smiths

Okay. @morelikeasong I'm a Gen Xer. Do you know HOW MANY of the bands of my youth have been touched by death? Nirvana, STP, Alice in Chains. Beastie Boys. Sublime. Soundgarden. Linkin Park.
Blink 182 got back together for the money last year. Oasis did it this year. Pearl Jam just keeps kicking out drummers. Something Corporate is even playing some shows this fall, for crying out loud! Eddie Van Halen is dead, so that's a no go. Jesus.
So fine. I'll go a little more punk, a little more underground. The Thermals - Now We Can See

Guillemots - Made Up Lovesong #43
not the band most (who know my music taste) would think... but, man, i miss the 'Mots. Always inventive, always amazing live, always pushing things, but always incredibly melodic. The first time i saw them, they handed out percussion instruments to the crowd for the last song. They even gave away egg shakers at one gig so everyone could play along. So many good times at their shows and not many bands have a typewrite and theremin on stage.

A year! That is impressive. This is an important place, not just for me, but for a lot of others as well.
The Challenge was the first place I posted on the "fun" side of the Lit Forums, outside of the Author hangouts. I don't remember the prompt, but the song was "Portland Rain," thus starting my obsession with posting local PNW bands. It is where I started, and always consider a home. When I left for a bit, it was also one of the reasons I came back, and the first place I posted again (so I guess it is to blame for me as well...) It is a special, important place.
And much of that is you, Princess. You make this what it is. Not just the care you take in choosing and curating the prompts --though that is part of it-- but mostly because your personality infuses this thread. Your intelligence, your sexiness, your sweetness, and mostly your warmth as a hostess, keeping things running smoothly with grace and charm. I have been in a lot of musical threads in several different places where there is a lot of "I'm cool because I know about this and you are not because you don't" vibe going on. Not here. I am old enough to remember hanging out in record stores, and the best were "I love this song, and I hope you will love this song too." That is what this place is -- sharing what we love and hoping others will enjoy it and add it to what they love. And that? Squarely because of you. You may not see it like that, but that doesn't make it less true.
Which is a long way around to say, "thank you for all you do, Princess. It is important." Thank you.

Day 1: A song by a band you wish was still together (not broken up by death)
I got sent a CD in the old days from some PR company who mistook me for someone else(?). But I fell in love with the album. I don't know what happened to the band, where they're from or what they're doing now but it seems like they evaporated, leaving me with this weird piece of round plastic in my house.
This is my favourite from the CD, it's about a road trip and falling just short of where you'd like to be. If the link doesn't work it's totally intentional to add mystique.
No-one called you a failure
