"What came first, the music or the misery?"


In the High Fidelity, Rob Gordon (or Fleming in the excellent Nick Hornby book) owns a record store and spends a lot of time making Top Five lists. After watching the movie recently, we here at PoYB have decided to implement Top Five Tuesday (OK, so I decided. What whatevs, I rule). I (or another up-standing PoYBer) will post a topic, and a list, and then in the comments you, our loyal readers, will post yours. Sounds fun right? Right.

In High Fidelity (the novel), Rob cites Marvin Gaye's "Lets Get It On" as his favorite single of all time. In dedication to the lovely Mr. Gaye and Rob's passion, the first list will include the Top Five songs you'd dream of, erm, getting it on to. So, with further ado, here goes nothing:

Top 5 "Lets Get It On" Songs

1) "Femme Fatale" by the Velvet Underground.
2) "Animal in Your Care" by Wolf Parade.
3) "Shampoo Suicide" by Broken Social Scene.
4) "Born the Run" by Bruce Springsteen.
5) "Rock Me" by Liz Phair.

This list is subject to change, and was mostly triggered by new found obsession with song #2. But anyway...

...now it's your turn.

You'd want to get it on while Nico is telling you that you're nothing but a name on a list? That's a big turn off for a love, methinks.
