obsessions throughout history

Perhaps due to my lack of time to listen to much of anything, I can't get these Fleet Foxes songs out of my head. I find myself whistling them, thinking about them. They jumble together into 1 glorious song.

Thinking about this current fascination led me to listing all of my favorite-obsession-songs, that I can remember at least, the ones that get stuck in my head at least every day for a month. Memory may fail me, or I'll end up writing all my favorite songs ever, but here goes. And really, I don't know what I expect to get out of this. Nothing, really, but sometimes I just want to reminisce.

In vaguely chronological order:
David Bowie - Starman (my first favorite song)
Quo - Quo Funk (one-song wonders, and not even a good one)
Pharcyde - Passin' me By
Ice Cube - Today Was a good day
Salt n Pepa - Shoop (once upon a time knew all the words)
Cracker - Low (1994?)
Morrisey - Big Mouth Strikes Again
Mel Carter - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me
Tribe Called Quest - Award Tour
Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye (damn, I loved that one. a great song)
Radiohead - Paranoid Android
Blur - Sing (Trainspotting soundtrack!)
Belle & Sebastian - waiting for the moon to rise
The Divine Comedy - something for the weekend
Outkast/Big Boi - Ghetto Musick (w/ Patti Labelle!)
Of Montreal - The Party's Crashing Us Now

That's about all I can think of right now. There are some major gaps in that history, though....
