c'est cool, on n'a pas à expliquer pourquoi mais les suivantes me plantent souvent :
"Wonderful life" de Black
"Paradise" de Bruce Springsteen
"Street spirit" de Radiohead
"Lucky" de Radiohead

Wonderful life a un charme énorme pour moi, de Springsteen j'aime beaucoup "my hometown", nostalgique, sur la décadence d'une ville depuis son enfance:






lyrics (malgré son apparence Rambo, Bruce écrit des textes excellents):

I was eight years old
And running with a dime in my hand
To the bus stop to pick
Up a paper for my old man
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick
And steer as we drove through town
He'd tousle my hair
And say, "son, take a good look around"
This is your hometown
 
In '65 tension was running high
At my high school
There was a lot of fights
Between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night
In the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come
To my hometown
 
Now Main Street's whitewashed windows
And vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody
Wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill
Across the railroad tracks
Foreman says, "these jobs are going, boys
And they ain't coming back
To your hometown
 
Last night me and Kate we laid in bed
Talking about getting out
Packing up our bags, maybe heading south
I'm thirty-five, we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel
And said, "son, take a good look around
This is your hometown"
