I really, really like these ones (and I normally don't like slow songs, so these are probably the only ones):
America - Razorlight It Ends Tonight - The All-American Rejects Mona Lisa (When the World Comes Down) - The All-American Rejects Writing To Reach You - Travis Half the World Away - Oasis Sam's Town [Abbey Road Version] - The Killers Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol Just Say Yes - Nicole Scherzinger The Drugs Don't Work - The Verve Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day Hey There Delilah - Plain White T's France - The Libertines These are my 3 absolute favourites. All beautiful songs. And Northern Downpour is an absolute masterpiece: NORTHERN DOWNPOUR - PANIC! AT THE DISCO UNINTENDED - MUSE BIRDS - KATE NASH |
