Ok i just made a really long post describing why these 7 songs are not only very influential to many bands but also detailed description on their importance and what makes them so special ....so after pulling my hair out ive regained my composure and i'll just make it brief, but these are so good ...and their upbeat nature gives the a euphoric edge ..
motown
Chris Clark v Frank Wilson - Do I Love You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzC1OEKBH70
the most influential motown song ever recorded, it just builds and builds into something unworldy, it just makes you want to jump around the room.
Rock
Teenage Fanclub - Sparky's Dream
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iuALpEXNlE&NR=1
the ultimate festival Rock song ..this Irish band were more important in 1991 then Nirvana ..they have 2 lead singers and are one of the most transparent bands of the of the modern era, listen to the backing harmony at the end, untouchable musicianship.
punk
Blondie - X Offender
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ6fpSdQQKc
The most covered song in punk circles ever, this is just bonefide gold songwriting on show, listen to the bass, the vocals, the drums, forget the clash, piL, the buzzcocks, the ramones, its the real thing!
Rap/ R&B
NWA - Express Yourself
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAmPhbpK6y8
its lyrical poetic ryhmes remain unmatched.. this is why dr dre is so respected, listen carefully to the words, the sample and bassline is sublime
Pop
The Pippettes - Your Kisses are Wasted on Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrCK2dbcJ0o
Forget the Spice Girls, this is what pop groups should be doing, innovative exciting harmony and oozing coolness ...
Dance
Underworld - King of Snake
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hR6KfuanI4
Influential, Taken from the Everything Everything tour, king of snake is everything thats important about the early house scene of the 80's and the modern era wrapped into one package, amazing vocal ability, this band have actually been around since the early 80's ...still going strong
MEtal, Hard Rock
Queens of the Stone Age - Lost Art of Keeping a Secret!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeAOCVexPjw
Back in 2000 the Queens released Rated R one of the albums of this decade so far ...Lost art was the lead single ,,it has mystique, its rich in textures of rythm guitar, finally a hard rock band that dont come across as a gimmick ...this is inspiring and Josh Homme is one of the strongest vocalists in music today.
