    except, of course, that brown eyed girl is by van morrison, not dylan. still not a bad list, though. [​IMG]

    Let's see, off the top of my head:
    It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding - Bob Dylan
    Visions of Johanna - Bob Dylan
    Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
    Rock and Roll - The Velvet Underground
    Paint it Black - The Stones
    Cigarettes and Coffee - Otis Redding
    Road Trip to Berlin - They Might Be Giants
    Brass Monkey - The Beastie Boys
    Formula Guy - Size Fourteen
    The Battle of Evermoor - Led Zeppelin

    Of course this doesn't include any jazz favorites, which should really be in their own list.

    YMCA - Village People
    Who Let the Dogs Out - Baha Men
    The Right Stuff - New Kids on the Block
    Rico Suave - Gerardo
    Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus
    Do You Really Want to Hurt Me - Culture Club
    Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice
    All That She Wants - Ace of Bass
    I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston

    I don't think I will be able to come up with a top 10 list for a while, but I think that "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix will be on it. You don't hear songe like that. From the intro to fade out, its unbelievable.

    Man, I'd have to think for days to answer this one for sure. But, if I just think about it like making a mix tape that I could listen to over and over and never get tired of, here's a list I'd be satisfied with...

    Hey You -- Pink Floyd
    Kashmir -- Led Zepplin
    The Last Resort -- Eagles
    Imagine -- Lennon
    The Boxer -- Simon and Garfunkel
    Like a Rolling Stone -- Jimi Hendrix version
    Hook -- Blues Traveler
    Rag Doll -- Aerosmith
    Going to California -- Led Zepplin
    Tears in Heaven -- Eric Clapton

    If I had a long enough tape, I'd put a lot more Floyd and Zepplin on there.

    A-Train, please tell me you're joking about vanilla ice.

    I'll have to think about this for a little while.
