I've had an iPod for a year or so, but my husband gave me one of those iPod docking stations so that I can play music in the kitchen or playroom for me and the kids. I'm ashamed at how long it's been since I've added new music to the iPod! So, here's your mission:
Recommend one (or ten!) Absolutely Essential Songs for an iPod.
I'm not picky, I just want to listen to something that ISN'T sung by Mickey Freakin' Mouse or the Wiggles for once. Maybe I shouldn't have let my kids have a playlist of their music on my iPod, eh?
I think Gwen Stefani's new CD is very good. iTunes also has good recommendations. Snow Patrol is good if you like Coldplay. I personally like TV on the Radio, New Order, Depeche Mode, and Asobi Seksu.
Oh, and get the soundtrack to Garden State. Everyone loves that.
