Okay, I don't care what genre - rock, pop, country, jazz, electronic - what is your favorite all-time song(s)? For me, there are so many, but off the top of my head and limiting to one song per artist and to CDs that I own, I would say definitely these: Mother - Danzig Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins (You're So) Physical - Nine Inch Nails I Don't Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me) - Marilyn Manson Silence - Delerium Cloudbusting - Kate Bush Alive Alone - Chemical Brothers 1963 - New Order Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division Train in Vain - The Clash Little Fluffy Clouds - The Orb Halcyon and On and On - Orbital Icct Hedral - Aphex Twin How to Disappear Completely - Radiohead My Hero - Foo Fighters Creep - Stone Temple Pilots Jeremy - Pearl Jam Outshined - Soundgarden Hunger Strike - Temple of the Dog Ace of Spades - Motorhead Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne Teardrop - Massive Attack Black Steel - Tricky In Bloom - Nirvana Master of Puppets - Metallica Gravity of Love - Enigma Sober - Tool Fire Woman - The Cult Bodyrock - Moby Elsewhere - Sarah McLachlan I guess that is enough for now. I just couldn't limit myself to 10, and probably 30 is too few for as much music as I like to listen to. However, these came to me pretty easily off the top of my head, so it seemed like the right amount.
You do realize that this is a cover (however warped) of a Public Enemy song? My choices: Ballad of El Goodo - Big Star Lucky - Radiohead Protection - Massive Attack Femme Fatale - Velvet Underground and Nico I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2 Driver 8 - R.E.M What's Going On - Marvin Gaye Single - Deconstruction Wrapped Around Your Finger - The Police Yesterday - The Beatles I tend to view less-structured music as compositions rather than songs, especially when there is a good amount of improvisation (i.e. jazz). Edit - you may notice new songs popping up on this and that is because I tend to think of additions as time progresses.
1. Don Maclean - American Pie 2. Madonna - Material Girl 3. Wilson Pickett - Land of a 1000 Dances 4. Dire Straits - Walk of LIfe 5. Gogos - Vacation 6. Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire 7. Madonna - Like a Prayer 8. Van Halen - Jump 9. Katrina and the Waves - Walking on Sunshine 10. Bob Seger - Hollywood Nights
Wow...what a misleading title.. It changes from time to time, but I'll go with just one... Kashmir-Led Zepplen
sub: Yea, I knew that the Tricky song was a cover but I didn't know who originally did it first. Question for you or anyone else that can answer: The NIN song that I listed is also a cover. Who did the original version of (You're So) Physical?
My favorite song is: "Manny needs to stop starting these stupid threds" by The Low Self-Esteemed Losers. It kicks ass.
hehe. i've been here five years, and rimbaud's superiority complex gets bigger and bigger. hehe. primitive radio gods - standing outside a telephone booth dave matthews - bartender "another drink"
Nice choice. Pig-DMB Where the Streets Have No Name-U2 In Your Eyes-Peter Gabriel I've Been Delivered-The Wallflowers #41-DMB Ultraviolet-U2 Climb to Safety-Widespread Panic Drops of Jupiter-Train The Bends-Radiohead
'But I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds...' I *love* 'The Ballad of El Goodo', Subtomic. And 'Thirteen' too. The Tricky version of 'Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos' would be up there for me as well. 'I'm a black man, so I could never be a veteran...' Manny, this is way too difficult! Do you realise that Elvis and I have a combination album count of, like, thousands and thousands? There's no *possible* way I could make a short list of songs. Sheeeeit, I had trouble making a 'top 100 albums' list once... OK, I just tried thinking about it for ten minutes and I couldn't even limit myself to a top thirty list of a combination of three small things: soul songs, Beatles songs and Costello songs. My brain is about to explode. Curse you, Ramirez!
Ok...My Top 5...an eclectic bunch... 1. Mariah Carey - Always Be My Baby (very pop...but i love it) 2. Sting - Fields of Gold (my favorite artist...and his best song hands down) 3. The Cranberries - Dreams (this song just makes me happy...) 4. Ace of Base - Don't Turn Around (dude! Don't HATE on ace of base..."The Sign" is one of the best albums ever) 5. a-ha - Take On Me (No explanation needed.)
My thoughts are that people hate in others what they hate about themselves. Maybe you are scared people will find out that behind that front of a big-ego guy behind a computer is a low-esteemed loser that's trying to convince everyone he's not.
Sub - you are correct about Adam Ant doing the original (You're So Physical). Yea, I know dimise. It was hard for me because I left out so many good ones by groups like Utah Saints, AC/DC, Everclear, Peter Gabriel, and Pantera just to name a few. I thought that there might have been a song or track (for those of you who like music without words) that just jumped out at you. BTW - gee, rimmy, tell me how you really feel about me. I would try to come up with something clever and pretentious as you, oh intellectually superior one, but I'll just say that you suck and be done with it.
What does this have to do with reality? I have been here ten years and learned that this is not reality. I just try to fill roles.
Well, duh...tell me something I don't know. Every thread here has nothing to do with *reality*. Well, why do you bother yourself with reading this thread or that matter this BBS if you really feel this way?? Why not do something more constructive with your time and "realistic" like reading or whatever & let the ones who like to indulge in "fantasy" do it...in other words, humor us. What..that of an *******?? Seriously, I think you are okay, rimmy, but you do have this annoying habit of saying really condescending and insufferable things to posters that really don't know you like chievous minniefield or barely know you like me. Then you always say some bullsh!t excuse like, "Oh I didn't know that you would get mad at my subtle bit of humor." When you are always having to explain your actions like that, that should be a sign that is telling you that you need to either change that little schtick of yours completely or stick to doing it to posters like Crisco or Smeg who really "get" rimbaud's humor.
