Top 5 of the week

For this blog I will try to make a list of my favorite 5 songs of the week, these do not have to be new or popular in any way. It usually are songs I discovered, rediscovered or just was in the mood for the song in the last week, I will try to write a small part about why these songs. 

1: Rebel Rebel, David Bowie. After I heard somebody talk about this song, the title didn't sound familiar but that made me curious. I listened to it and immediately it rang a bell, off course I knew this song but never knew the title, giving it the number one spot of the week.

2: Always the sun, The Stranglers. Listening on shuffle to my rather large music collection always gives me some new songs I didn't know I had, this is one of them. It sounded strangely familiar but I wasn't able to link it to the stranglers before looking at what was playing. This is one to remember from now on. 

3: Do You Know Where Your Children Are, Michael Jackson. A new Michael Jackson album? My first thought was: I sure hope they didn't ruin Michael's sound. luckily they didn't, they made it a bit more modern but still full on Michael Jackson and this song is the perfect example of that, modern but still Michael. 

4: Nightcall, Kavinsky and Lovefoxxx. After seeing the movie Drive I had to get the soundtrack, just for this song. For me, the mix of the synthesizers and the nice vocals is a winning combination. 

5: Rubberneckin' (Paul Oakenfield remix), Elvis Presley. The second most famous remix of one of Elvis' songs. It sounds fresh but still holding on to the original, just how I like it.
