Ok, When get a new CD we flip through the the tracks. What types of tracks make you stop and listen?
Is it the strong intro's, the lyrics, songs you already know?
What song stopped you in your tracks? For me it was the intro to franz ferdinand, do you want to!

I put on my radio a few years ago, realised it wasn't on the station I wanted, and walked towards it to change to the station I did want. The song playing made me freeze and I was totally entranced by it. I didn't recognise the voice so started writing down odd bits of lyric in case the DJ didn't announce who it was at the end - I could try googling them.
It was "My Confession" by Josh Groban. The most beautiful and haunting song I have ever heard, still sends shivers down my spine as much now as when I first heard it.

Jason Michael Carroll - Alyssa Lies
The chorus and ending are timeless
Michael Johnson - Give Me Wings
He can touch your soul to the bone if allowed
Dolly Parton - Jolene
No one can freeze you like Dolly on that chorus high note
*NOTE - Melissa Etheridge fans, check out the CMTV crossroads duet live version of this song with Dolly....mesmerizing
System Of A Down - BYOB, and Question
Has there ever been a more riveting hard rock harmony vocal?

I go silent listening to Jainy by Five For Fighting.It stopped me dead in my tracks.
Also You Won't Be Mine by Matchbox Twenty.The piano,Vocal,the darkened tone,and the musical score hidden track the follows after a long gap on the record is amazing as well

Forever Autumn by Justin Hayward. It didn't stop me in my tracks but I remember hearing when I was about 8 years old, we were driving in my dad's car in Wales and I liked the song so much, I wrote the title and artist in my note book. Many years later I heard it again as part of War of the Worlds and found my notebook which confirmed it was the same song. Many many years later my husband took me to see the Moody Blues and lo and behold, there was Justin Hayward - it was fab when he performed it.

Stomping Grounds by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones
and it was definitely the up beat tone of the intro that got me hooked

i do not flip through the tracks, i listen to the cd straight through.
the songs i really listen to are the songs that haven't been released as singles, but are still good songs. if anything, i skip the songs that I already know.

'local boy in the photograph' by stereophonics. its an uplifting summery song, but i had never really listened to the lyrics until someone pointed out how sad they were, but still a great tune
