So wingblossom mentioned wanting to check out Mr.Children and of course I couldn't resist, since they are the best band ever (except maybe The Killers, though it's definitely a close one). I just...I love these guys so, so much.

These are all in folders rather than zip/rar files, so as to make it easier for those who just want a few songs. But I know that can be a pain if you do want everything (or want a bunch), so for that I suggest the Firefox extension DownThemAll, which lets you grabs a bunch of files at once without having to click on them individually.

Everything
Their first (and shortest) album. Favorites: Lord I Miss You, Kimi ga Ita Natsu, Kaze~The Wind Knows How I Feel.

Kind of Love
Their sound was very different on this album, but I love it. Favorites: Niji no Kanata e, Dakishimetai, Distance, Kuruma no Naka de Kakurete Kiss wo Shiyou, Hoshi ni Naretara, Teenage Dream (I~II).

Versus
Kind of a let-down after the awesomeness of Kind of Love. Favorites: Main Street in Ikou, Love.

Atomic Heart
I have so much love for this album. I don't know why. It's not the album with the most favorite songs or anything, but there's just something about it that I really love. Favorites: Innocent World, Cross Road, Jealousy, Asia, Ame Nochi Hare, Over.

Shinkai
Although this isn't my top favorite album, it's one of my favorites and the one that I think most should be listened to as an album rather than just picking individual songs. Favorites: Tegami, Arifureta Love Story~Danjo Mondai wa Itsumo Mendou Da~, Na mo Naki Uta, Machingune wo Buppanase, Yurikago no Aru Oka Kara, Hana -Memento Mori-.

Bolero
Until Shifuku no Oto came out, this was my favorite album. It's sooooooo good. Favorites: Everything (It's You), Time Machine ni Notte, Brandnew My Lover, [es]~Theme of Es~, Seesaw Game~Yuukan na Koi no Uta~, Kasa no Shita no Kimi ni Tsugu, Alive, Shiawase no Category, Everybody Goes -Chitsujo no Nai Gendai no Drop Kick-, Bolero, Tomorrow Never Knows.

Discovery
This has a couple of my top favorite songs, but as a whole it's just an okay album. Favorites: Prism, Lalala, Owarinai Tabi.

Q
Another okay album, but not a favorite. Favorites: Not Found, Tsuyogari, Kuchibue, Hallelujah.

It's a Wonderful World
Not an album I've listened to a whole lot, but it's got some good songs. Favorites: Youthful Days, Bird Cage, Love Hajimarimashita, Kimi ga Suki.

Shifuku no Oto
This is my favorite album of theirs, hands-down (though Bolero comes very close). Favorites: Iwasete Mitee Mon Da, Paddle, Tenohira, Kurumi, Hanakotoba, Pink~Kimyou na Yume, Karakaze no Kaerimichi, Any, Tagatame, Hero.

I Love U
I can't get into this album that much. :-/ I have only one song marked as a favorite (Running High), though it's not a bad album.

Home
I liked this a lot more than I Love U, though still not as much as some of their earlier albums. Favorites: Irodori, Houkiboshi, Fake, Shirushi, Anmari Oboetenai ya.

Supermarket Fantasy
This is their most recent album and I haven't really listened to it all that much. On a quick listen right now, only one stood out enough to favorite, and that's Hanabi.

B-Side
This is, as the title indicates, an album of B-sides. Favorites: Tabibito, Derumo, I'm Sorry

other random songs
Random stuff that is not on any album. Favorites: Boku ga Boku de Aru Tame ni (Ozaki Yutaka cover), Kiseki no Hoshi (with Kuwata Keisuke of Southern All Stars), Fanfare


And if you want just my top favorites, I managed to narrow them down to a top 50 (really couldn't go lower than that!) and those can all be found here.
