iPod thanks

I have downloaded many of your music recommendations.  Most of all, I am surprised how many "hipsters" read MR.  In the spirit of reciprocation, I offer the following download suggestions:

These are not all my favorite songs, or the best songs ever, but rather great songs you won't otherwise hear enough of:

96 Teardrops - ? and the Mysterians

Honey Honey - Abba

Murder She Wrote - Chaka Demus

Havana Moon - Chuck Berry

Blue Moon Revisited - Cowboy Junkies

Licking Stick - Desmond Dekker

I Want You Back - Jackson Five

Belshazzar - Johnny Cash

Roast Fish and Cornbread - Lee Perry

I'm a Ding Dong Daddy - Louis Armstrong

Suddenly Blue - Roger McGuinn

Amy - Ryan Adams

Seu Jorge - His five David Bowie songs, from The Life Aquatic

Jenny and the Ess-Dog - Stephen Malkmus

Strollin' with Bone - T-Bone Walker

Bewildered - James Brown

Jive at Five - Count Basie

Split Enz - I Hope I Never (for the badly hurt and lovesick)

*Malakado (Be My Baby) - Tarika (the song is sung in English, French, and then Malagasy; a special favorite of mine)

Hey, maybe these are the best songs ever!
