[Urban Rubble]

How can you only have 5 best songs ? I could name 100.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I don't know if I can do this either.

Think about like this if it helps: Try to find your single favourite song, and choose 5 contenders for that spot.

Layla - Clapton
When the Levee Breaks - Zeppelin
The Changeling - Doors
Hey You - Pink Floyd
All Along the Watchtower - Hendrix

[mentalbunny]

Hmm, depends on what mood I am. Right now I'd say:

New Noise - Refused
Where is my mind - the pixies
epic problem (i think) - fugazi
shy - ani difranco
negative creep - nirvana (i'm actually only heard the original once)

But it'll probably change as soon as I buy a new CD.

[JonP]

At the moment:

The Doors - The End
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - As Sure As The Sun
Radiohead - The Bends
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child
Symposium - Standing Honoured

[dark fairy]

:unsure: :unsure: the doors-strange days
hendrix-hey joe
tool-hooker with a penis
led zeppelin-stairway to heaven
rolling stones-miss you


this was so ooooo hard


but i guess if i change my mind i can get back at you

[Purple]

pink floyd - hey you
marilyn manson - dope hat
nine inch nails - head like a hole
prince - the other side of the pillow
prince - musicology(this will change soon probably)

[DaCuBaN]

hmmm this is a difficult question...

I think it's gotta be King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King

that's a 5 track album isn't it :D

I've never been much for lyrical content... the music always speaks so much more than words ever could.

[SittingBull47]

right now (in no order) it'd be:

This Cold = John Frusciante
One-armed Scissor = At the Drive In
Opticon = Orgy
Show me your soul = Red Hot Chili Peppers
Whatever = Iggy Pop

[Hate Is Art]

Hey Harriet, Epic Problem is in my top 5 as well :D

Fugazi - Epic Problem
The Doors - Touch Me
Pink Floyd - See Emily Play
The Beatles - Happiness is a Warm Gun
The Cure - In Between Days

[toastedmonkey]

mine changes week to week but ever i suppose

Oasis - Supersonic
Dylan - Subteraenean Homesick Blue
Vines - Homesick
My Vitriol - Always: Your way
My Vitriol - Deadlines

theres a few more but they stand above the rest... maybe not the vines though...

Good choice!
Right now I'm listening to "I Talk to the Wind"

[Kurai Tsuki]

(not in any particular order)

Know Your Enemy
Rage against the Machine
The ultimate tell-it-like-it-is song.

Bulls on Parade
Rage Against the Machine
Outlining America's social structure.

Fear of the Dark
Iron Maiden
I can relate to that song :unsure:

Purple Rain
Prince and the Revolution
Guitars, a piano, and extremely apologetic lyrics; this makes a great atonement song. I have trouble thinking of this song outside the context of the namesake movie.

Baby, I'm a Star
Prince and the Revolution
Prince's song of gratification and pride.

[Pawn Power]

these
are soem good ones

long live revolution rock-morning glory
crack city rockers-leftover crack
redemption song-bob marley
spyders-system of a down
knowledge is power-no ca$h

but they will probally all change in a day, depends what mood i'm in

[Dirty Commie]

Redemption Song-Bob Marley

Carrer Opportunities-the Clash

Life'll Kill Ya-Warren Zevon

Bohemian Rhapsody-Queen

Testify-Rage Against the Machine


it was painful to pick only five

[Take the Power back]

I really want to just start listing songs, but I know I need to narrow it down. I will name 5 GOOD songs. I can't say favorite

"Bullet with Butterfly Wings" - Smashing Pumpkins. Shows angst and the feeling of not winning, despite trying "...despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage..."

"Born in the USA" - Springsteen. This song is very anti-war, and actually criticizes the Vietnam war, and how we (the government and business) treated soldiers when they came back.

"Testify" - RATM. Brings up how the media shows events in a warm light, often taking the bloodshed out of an otherwise bloody event.

"Chop Suey!" - System of a Down. About addiction, and suicide. It brings up Christ's death, and shows how we see his death today, in society.

Optional, open to anything - "Boom!", "Bombtrack", "Killing in the Name", "Ghost of Tom Joad", "ADD", "Marijuana"(by Phish), anything goes in my 5th spot.

wait, somebody who quotes Edward Abbey and admits publically to listening to Principal Leonard Skinner?

I must be dreaming, that's fucking awesome.
I would suggest a more diddley-fied avatar, that one just creeps me out.

are you serious holy shit

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

LOL!
That's pretty good, Rasta. Most lefties won't admit to listening to ol' southern rock, that's true. But for good reason too, because most people who listen to that stufgf are fucking crazy.

a perfect circle - the noose

Good choises, I like them both, however I find it hard to choose between those songs and Gravity and Pet.

[Ortega]

Hmm..

Toots and the Maytals ft. Bootsy Collins and the Roots - Funky Kingston
Lee Scratch Perry - Dreadlocks in Moonlight
Peter Tosh (not the Bob Marley version) - Get Up Stand Up
Nirvana - You Know You're Right
Bob Marley - Is This Love

..I like them all for different reasons.

[New Direction]

How soon is now? - The Smiths

Indifference - Pearl Jam

Freedom - R.A.T.M.

Epic - Faith No More

Runaway Train - Soul Asylum

[Hampton]

Bright Eyes- Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh
Tupac- Me Against the World
Marvin Gaye- Mercy Mercy Me
Jimi- Bold As Love
Tom Waits- Tom Traubert's Blues

John Lee Hooker- Boom Boom

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I like Hampton's and Ortega's choices!
Especially Peter Tosh, Toots and the Maytals, John lee Hooker, Tom Waits, Jimi, and Bob Marley.

Great choices

Nirvana - You Know You're Right
how can you say that. its not right, its a good song but how can you favour it over come as you are and smells like teen spirit, this song shouldn't of been released it is an insult to Kurt to say that this song is your favourite

[Timon of Athens]

This is harder than the guitarists question... well, here goes:

1. All Along the Watchtower- Jimi Hendrix
It's tough enough to do a good Dylan cover. Hendrix just went above and beyond
2. Like a Rolling Stone- Bob Dylan
The anthem of a generation. It's one of those songs that will just endure forever because its message is timeless
3. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds- The Beatles
It's just so out there...
4. With God on Our Side- Bob Dylan
Bob did find religion for awhile, but that's not what this is about. It's actually a heavily sarcastic attack on the blindness of the government.
5. The Times, They are A-Changin'- Bob Dylan
Sorry for all the Dylan songs... There are so many other songs I'd love to put on here, but these are all really good.. Albums would be easier.
