Glad some Radiohead finally showed up. This band is great.

I don't actually know if those are catchy or not. They did all got stuck into my head for at least a whole day though. I've got time to spend so, I'll write them down as they come. Hopefully it will be useful to someone.

First, Tool and A Perfect Circle. I suppose it's kind of a hit-or-miss, but I like these bands quite much. The catchy tunes I can remember are:

Tool - Sober
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hglVqACd1C8
Tool - Stinkfist
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07pLGIgyfjw
A Perfect Circle - Annihilation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj7HKwqNYmQ
A Perfect Circle - Passive
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTdJowGi0UI

Then, some powermetallish songs from various european bands.

Stratovarius - Black Diamond
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNLdTfwx5ZQ
Blind Guardian - Mirror Mirror
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AfNOKQdY-U
Nightwish - The Phantom of the Opera
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoSIuaczGN0

Some rap because I feel like it. Flobots have already been mentioned somewhere not long ago, but what the hell.

Flobots - Handlebars
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQPxL4B41Ok
Atmosphere - Always Coming Back Home to You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvugcOOUdJc
Sage Francis - Sea Lion
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BffumeEaYOI

The Beatles are great too but everybody knows them so I won't bother. Someone mentioned Flogging Molly already so I'll go on from there.

Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcEEAjGtAkY
Dropkick Murphys - Time to Go
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxnawQZZBSM
Dropkick Murphys- Walk Away
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lCO1WQdVFY

Ska is quite good too. Especially Streetlight Manifesto. I'll try to go for the catchier ones.

Streetlight Manifesto - The Big Sleep
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rLXnvkOadY
Streetlight Manifesto - Would you be Impressed ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GTICPoh3aQ
Streetlight Manifesto - Somewhere in the Between
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlWFbDpJgyw
Reel Big Fish - Beer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOka58PEm-0

Some simple rock (or things that sound like it) because I like rock.

Muse - Uno
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbPA58xJI24
Cold War Kids - We Used to Vacation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfDvpfC2bw
The Coral - Dreaming of You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRy8N1P1EUI
Foo Fighters - Stranger Things Have Happened
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEIeb85DkCs
Archive - Fuck U
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAOnu2oscF0

And finally, old things.

Marillion - Chelsea Monday
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbr9F_asKeQ
Marillion - Jigsaw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDO_O1CS6d0
Blue Öyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnlNyT8jPtQ
Blue Öyster Cult - Veteran of the Psychic Wars
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrd2xf5DIlU
Canned Heat - Goin' Up the Country
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5W2ZcoUEwA

That's all I can think of right now. A good chunk of it is pretty specific so not everyone would appreciate it, let alone find it catchy. Feel free to say if you liked it or not.

Oh, and ;

Revival, for greater justice, and because I thought this topic was absolutely awesome when it was still active.

Better yet, the song Lynard Skynard ripped off, which is also good.  Another by the same artist.

And I'll betray my redneck roots some more with one of my favorites.

If that's not to your taste, how about something sublime?  And for kicks, Hotel California in Ska form, which I'm listening to now.

Came across this just recently, and it stuck in my head like...   Uh...

Something very sticky, apparently.

Kasabian - Shoot the Runner


And, also, arguably the most awesome bass riff of all time:

Pink Floyd - Money

First ten minutes of play I ate my loincloth and then got some limbs torn off by a super friendly rat. Thumbs up from me.

Common People by William Shatner

This is more horrifying than catchy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMg8V3nGNuY. The original is much more catchy. And much better.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.
