All FIRE Songs, All the Time

Part of the office is on fire right now. I have been challenged by the interns to make a playlist before we’re allowed to go back in the office. I won!

Nobody was hurt and the fire is small,

Kate

1. Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy “You Will Miss Me When I Burn”
2. Alasdair Roberts “Firewater (Library Of Aethers)”
3. Ben Harper “Not Fire, Not Ice”
4. Mindy Smith “Down in Flames”

Jimi Hendrix “Fire”

Bruce Springsteen “I’m On Fire”

"Light My Fire” by the Doors.

Again? Sounds like that building is the target of a firebug. I suspect Tim, only because he seems least likely to start a fire. He’s tricky that way.

9. T Bone Burnett - Seven Times Hotter Than Fire
10. Charlie Sexton - Burn
11. Southern Culture On The Skids - Fight Fire
12. Christopher Denny - All Burned Up
13. Ani DiFranco - Fire Door
14. Sebadoh - On Fire
15. The Roots - Set Em On Fire
16. Portishead - It’s a Fire

AND....!!!!

17. REO Speedwagon - Keep The Fire Burnin’

Mine would look more like this…

1. U2 - The Unforgettable Fire
2. Frank Black - I Burn Today
3. Aceyalone - Fire
4. Talking Heads - Love -> Building On Fire
5. Andy Partridge - My Land Is Burning
6. Brindly Brothers - Slow Burn
7. Speech - Catch The Fire
8. Chad Vangaalen - Burn To Ash

I would’ve chosen Ben Harper’s “Burn One Down.” Otherwise, this is awesome…

you forgot “Fire on the Mountain” by the Marshall Tucker Band (also notable because writer G. McCorkle recently died).

Thus, though you win at fire playlists.
interns win at referencing southern rock icons recently in the national news?
