5 Songs On My iPod Volume 18

I have been so busy doing posts for band or artist "Top 5" lists, I haven't done a regular "Songs On My Ipod" post in a few weeks. Well here is one.

My Top 5 Hall and Oates Songs

 Hall and Oates are one of my 3 favorite bands/artists of all time along with Neil Finn (Split Enz, Crowded House , Solo)  and Counting Crows. There was a stretch from the late 70's to the early 90's where everything they released was a hit. Voices is, in my opinion, their greatest album. I was always a bigger fan of their songs that had a new wave rock feel to them. Voices had that throughout.
They continue to tour and periodically, release new material.

Daryl has a hit web show called Live From Daryl's House that has him hosting modern artists as they jam to their hits along with his. Check it out. He has a new artist on the 15th of every month.

Here are my top 5. It was hard to narrow down to just 5.

My Top 5 Psychedelic Furs Songs

 The Psychedelic Furs are another one of my favorite bands. Formed in 1977 by lead singer Richard Butler and his brother Tim. They started out with a very punk garage sound and later moved towards a new wave sound. They had several hit songs in the early MTV days but really hit it big when their re-recorded version of "Pretty In Pink" was used in the John Hughes movie of the same name. Surprisingly they only had 1 US Top 40 hit and that was "Heart Break Beat". They broke up for about 10 years and Richard Butler scored a few hits with the band "Love Spit Love". They continue to tour but have yet to release a new studio album. Here is my top 5
