I don't care about popularity, so I'll list songs that I listen to:

quote:

4- wuthering


Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights

quote:

5- plasticene


It's "plasticine" and:

Porcupine Tree - Footprints

Reading Porcupine Tree lyrics made me look into plasticine and learn that we got jobbed with Playdough as kids. Salty bullshite.

Jamiroquai - Smoke and Mirrors

Rx Bandits - Dinna-dawg (and the Inevitible Onset of Lunacy)

quote:

8- pompatus


The Joker - Steve Miller Band

quote:

9- vegemite


Well, not all stuff that I "listen to," but I do know Down Under - Men at Work

quote:

10- impermanence


Changes & Space Oddity - David Bowie

Love me some Kate. The last picture I saw of her indicates she's wuthering a bit, though.
