To see if there is a pattern with me, these are a list of songs that I currently like:
- That's When I Reach For My Revolver - Mission of Burma
- She Floated Away - Husker Du
- Good Grief - Foo Fighters
- We Go Down Slowly Rising - Primal Scream
- Driver 8 - R.E.M.
- Waterfall - The Stone Roses
- Come Home - Placebo
The list goes on and on... These are just the sort of song that I like. Would you say there is a pattern in terms of how they sound (you can look up any that you haven't heard), and do they meet the "predictable" standard or the "suprise" standard?
