If you had to pick one song that defines you, or how you currently feel, or in whatever regard you want, really, what would it be?

For me I would definitely pick "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" by the Beach Boys. Specifically, I apply the lyrics to my social life. It's just fairly unsuccessful, even though I've made some attempts to make it more interesting.

I don't know if I really have one, but if I do, it would be Magazine's A Song From Under the Floorboards. My wife bought me a t-shirt with lyrics from the song printed on the front. I have adopted as my motto and paste it on my Facebook page at regular intervals.

One song? I don't know, really.

What I know right now is that I'm feeling extremely happy and confused and angry. And it's all that Twin Infinitives album's fault. Gah!

Yeah, I say the whole of Twin Infinitives.

It's the musical substitute for drugs and drinks.

But really, I wouldn't know about that, I've never tried drugs or drinks.

Who cares, anyway?

DOOKIE FOREVER!

No wait, I mean, Twin Infinitives forever!

Dookie is a great album too, though.

Listening to Solid Gold Tooth again.

Boy, am I lovin' it.

I also think about that song myself, especially those days where I mostly hear music from the 60's and 70's.

If I had to choose a song that defined me, it would probably be Nowhere Man, especially the lyrics:

Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

When somebody asks me what I want to do after high school, I always answer: ¨What I want to do? Yes, that's the question!¨

So for now it can be: Everybody Hurts, R.E.M.
But you know I'm quite a manic-depressive, so you cannot really expect what I'd choose the next minute.

Remember The Name & Where'd You Go were great pop-rap songs. Along with Handlebars by the Flo Bots. I still think that those are great tracks, regardless of 'mainstream' status.
