ETA: Aside from my default, apparently. Bwah?
ETA2: Apparently, it was just my Firefox having a minor nervous breakdown. Everyone's icons disappeared. Spooky! But they're back now. Ignore me.
Er, or better yet: tell me (or send me) your favorite Rodney (gen) song. Or Rodney/John, but from Rodney's POV. I find these are few and far between.

Date: 2006-04-22 03:58 pm (UTC)your computer is stupidyou can't play the format I have them in. But for the record, one of them will be Carbon Leaf - Life Less Ordinary, which is a John/Rodney song, but IMO definitely Rodney PoV. The link's to the lyrics - see what you think.I might give you this one, too - still Carbon Leaf, What About Everything. I'm not entirely sure who I think has PoV here, but it's definitely John/Rodney again.
Actually, if you still have those songs I sent you aaaages ago, these might have been included. I have some other SGA gen songs, but they're not Rodney PoV...
Anyway, must now run away, so amusez-vous with other people's songs until I return to rip them :)

Date: 2006-04-22 04:11 pm (UTC)It's weird--I've got a John/aircraft song, but few Rodney.
Oh, and hi! I've been lurking but figured I may as well just friend you already. Hope that's all right. :)

Date: 2006-04-22 05:02 pm (UTC)I've Always Been Crazy (http://download.yousendit.com/B559453B4ED65EAA) by Waylon Jennings. For some reason this song screams John to me.
It Hurts to Love You (http://download.yousendit.com/FFD3E33C290700F9) Philosopher Kings, John/Rodney
My Best Friend (http://download.yousendit.com/15D1DEEA2CC365A5) Weezer, John/Rodney
Where Are You Going (http://download.yousendit.com/82F72C485546718C) Dave Matthews, Rodney all the way
Under Pressure (http://download.yousendit.com/EA534B616D5165EF) The Used and My Chemical Romance, this should be Rodney's theme song as far as I'm concerned
A Case of You (http://download.yousendit.com/887C2A3055145D71) kd lang version, Rodney/John, but from John's POV...I have this whole post-Atlantis story in my head about this song.

and speaking of the Barenaked Ladies, One Week (http://download.yousendit.com/3D52F0E474A12CBA) seems like the perfect description of how a John/Rodney relationship would work. *g*

Date: 2006-04-22 09:08 pm (UTC)For gen Rodney songs:
Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright. For this one, I have been highly influenced by the 2 excellent SGA vids done to this song. But it really reminds me of Rodney and his faith in science and his own abilities, as well as relationship issues. And I love this song. I really like the Wainwright version, but I also like the ones by Jeff Buckley and kd lang.
Another Train by the Poozies (http://beta.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=761A7F402B19FE7A). One of my current favorite songs, since I ran across it via a Daniel SG-1 vid (by barkley I think). I think this song reminds me of Rodney after he was sent to Siberia & before the Atlantis expedition. I think it actually works just as well, if not even better, for Sheppard right before the Atlantis expedition, so I can't help but think of both of them when I hear it. I'd love to see an SGA vid made to this one day.
Butterflies and Hurricanes by Muse (http://beta.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=B7F507580BE5461A). I find it a bit odd that I think about Rodney with this one, but Rodney changed alot from SG-1 to S2 of SGA, and this reminds me of those changes.
As far as McKay/Sheppard songs, there are two that really remind me of them:
The Scientist by Coldplay. Kind of obvious, I know, but it reminds me of Rodney, especially post-Trinity.
Running Up That Hill (http://beta.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=EC545ED42041455D). This vid by Danvers was one of the first SGA vids I ever saw. It addicted me to Placebo, and it really cemented this song as a John/Rodney and SGA song in my head. I always think of this song from Rodney's POV, but I guess it could go either way. I also have multiple versions of this song, and since you've probably heard the one by Placebo already, this cover is by Icon and the Black Roses.
What are *your* favorite Rodney songs?
Hmm. I'm also curious to see what songs people associate with Sheppard as well.

Date: 2006-04-23 11:04 pm (UTC)I like the others, too. "Another Train" is beautiful. Thank you!
As for my favorite Rodney songs...hmm. I don't really have any? I mean, I have a ton of Sheppard songs (I've been trying to make a mix for ages, actually), and so, so many McKay/Sheppard songs. But they're almost always from Sheppard's POV. His angst brings the music to the yard. Or something.
I'm going to think more about this, and maybe eventually I'll do a post. But I want to give you something, so here's a song that almost works, if you change the gender pronouns:
The Ground Beneath Her Feet - U2 (http://s44.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0MOU4VIZ4RK5V3BN1N6FS7RJE8)
Rodney playing Orpheus for John, something I never tire of. *g*

Date: 2006-04-24 12:12 am (UTC)Also, did you see the vid Stress (http://wickedwords.livejournal.com/384374.html) by Rache and Sandy? I had never heard that song either before I saw the vid, but now it will always be a Rodney song to me. It's a funny and brilliant vid.

When I was perfect on my own
I feel that just so sums up Rodney before the expedition.
Glad you liked it

Date: 2006-04-23 03:23 am (UTC)And there's this other song that always gets into my head when I read those john/rodney fics set during their shore leave on earth - it's the plot to a fic somewhere in my brain: Martina Sorbara - Bonnie and Clyde (http://download.yousendit.com/F5DBC13B69763EBD).
