Best $0.99 spent

[coasts]

iTunes offers an exhaustive selection of songs, videos, and all, but what if you had just $0.99 to spend. How would you do it? I'm somewhat of a completist so i don't buy many single tracks (unless an artist i like has one song on a compilation/soundtrack).

So, if you had just $0.99 to spend, what would you buy?

Me:
Kurt Vonnegut's "Tock Tick" - If you dont know, find out.

or

Devendra Banhart's "Little Boxes" cover.

Oh, interesting take on the song recommendations. I actually just downloaded massive amounts of music from iTunes but if I had to recommend just one download it would have to be "How Far We've Come" by Matchbox 20. I really like that song for some reason.

I like that one too. I recently bought 'Ring Ring' by Mika, and I reccomend it.

I've probably spent $40 on iTunes since Christmas, I got so many gift cards.

I would reccomend, "Go DJ by Lil wayne" to teenagers, the song never gets old. And Livin' on a prayer by Bon Jovi to those above 30.

I love the iTMS, I would prefer it over any p2p program, any day, and i have absolutely no problem paying 2$ for vids or 1$ for a song.

Hard question - whatever I choose, I'd probably be wanting to trade it out after a couple weeks - but for right now Macy Gray 'The Letter' or Counting Crows 'Hangingaround' ...

No, why? They're just the two tracks that sprung to mind - almost chose 'Friend of the Devil' as second one (even though second one is not really allowed) ...

OK, got it now - never saw that thread. Plus, Black Crowes and Counting Crows are not the same band at all - like both of 'em, but Counting Crows better ...

my bad. I was never any good at reading comprehension.

I believe that the Black Crowes are back in the studio finishing up a new album... I heard that they are supposed to be touring late this year.
It's kinda funny/sad. I went to middle school with Richie Robinson. He used to beat me up back when he was a "jock". Years later, the band played our class Graduation party under the original band name, Mr Crow's Garden.
Then late one night I see them debuting on Letterman. About 4 months later, I ran into them at a movie theater by my old house.
It's funny how life plays out...
Yeah, it's a little bit extraneous info, but thought I would share anyway.

What I've done - Linkin Park.

Anyone hear like Rosemary Clooney?

Even heard of her?:gasp:

[Eragon]

The Penn State fight song - to balance out my wife's Rocky Top :2cool:

[iamtko]

i usually get all of my music through CD's because i like to support the artists etcetc.

i WAS going to download "alchemy sounded good at the time" by Alesana so i could make a ringtone(i already own it from a CD, but you know how awesome ringtone making is..-.-) but of COURSE it wasn't a "ringtone" song.

it's things like these that make me want to mod -_-

[iStealth]

Thats easy! American Pie by Don McLean

[KeKe]

I would suggest a lupe fiasco song such as superstar or Paris, Tokyo. I love his music.

so, i'm curious if anyone actually checked out any of these tracks through iTunes. it's far to say i wont be looking at some of them, but there are a few names i hadnt heard of. regardless, i was hoping to find some real oddities, not just "cool" songs. i guess i should have been more specific.

let me pose this question. are there any real gems to be found for $0.99?

me - Kurt Vonnegut's "Tock Tick"
and - Jerry Garcia's "Love Scene" from Zabriski Point soundtrack
and maybe Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain" - unfortunately only the remixed version is available as a single track.

any of the above are a real bang for your buck.

I am just playin ya young guys like a banjo. That is George Clooney's Aunt, yes she was great.:2cool:

[robhon]

Without a doubt....

Tom Waits - "Sixteen shells from a thirty-ought six."

[acosmichippo]

some good recommendations here...

if i were to purchase one song it would be the Flaming Lips' tune on the soundtrack for Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium called "Love the World you Find"... i was going to do that today on the wifi at school, but it slipped my mind.

and, yes, the new Crowes (black, that is) album should be out this fall. woo hoo.

Nice choice, classic actually being the concept is the best or last $.99. Has a very haunting quality.

[kokogirl]

My kids would say "Bet on It" from High School Musical 2. :smile:

[Ag-Ryan]

"from paris to berlin" by infernal

loooove it

[kokogirl]

My pick is "Uninvited" Alanis Morrissette.

[The Apple]

haha.....Jerry Reed-Amos Moses
