Your Top 5 Songs

DirtRider500R · 11-20-2013, 09:32 PM

As the title says, what are your guys' top 5 favorite songs? You could even do your top 10 if you can't decide

1) Beer With Jesus - Thomas Rhett
2) A Soldiers Memoir - Mitch Rossell (A fairly new song. Music video is fantastic)
3) Semper Fi - Trace Adkins
4) Better Than I Used To Be - Tim McGraw
5) Second Chance - Shinedown

Some more good ones that didn't make my list are:
'Till the Last Shots' Fired - Trace Adkins
Arlington - Trace Adkins
Space Bound - Eminem (I don't usually listen to rap, but I'll admit this is a good one)
All songs that are by Here Come the Mummies
The Jody Grind - Horace Silver (Gotta have that one Jazz tune)

MUNKY · 11-20-2013, 09:59 PM

Got the Life - Korn
Civilian - wye oak
Sail - awol nation
Serpents - Sharon etten

Which decade?

Okay, here is a list. It's what's currently on my earworm list, for the most part.

25 or 6 to 4, Chicago

Dust in the Wind, Kansas

Bridge Over Troubled Water, Simon and Garfunkel

Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole

Seven Bridges Road, Eagles

and as a bonus

Hurt, Johnny Cash

Tomorrow the list will probably be different.

mahtofire14 · 11-20-2013, 10:29 PM

1. House of the Rising Sun, Animals
2. Bridge Over Troubled Water, S&G
3. Holy Diver, Dio
4. Nanook Rubs It, Zappa
5. Tom Sawyer, Rush

Remo · 11-20-2013, 10:08 PM

In no order...

Sail.. Awolnation
Walk...Foo Fighters
Yellow Ledbetter...Pearl Jam
Whiskey in the Jar...Metallica
Cowboys from Hell...Pantera

But in reality, way to many than 5,10,50,100 to list!

icehog3 · 11-20-2013, 11:33 PM

Maybe Top 500.....50 if I really spent some time. But Top 5? Don't think I can do it. Love music way too much.

MajorCaptSilly · 11-21-2013, 07:06 AM

5. "Into The Mystic" Van Morrison
4. "Ball & Chain" Social Distortion
3. "Bridge Of Sighs" Robin Trower
2. "Every Night About This Time" Dave Alvin
1. "Love Reign O'er Me" The Who

2-5 change on a daily basis. #1 has been number one since I first listened to Quadrophenia as a teen.

Off the top of my head, five songs that rate "up there" for me:

All along the watchtower - Jimi's version

Colors/Dance - George Winston

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

Acadian Driftwood- the Band

Stairway to Heaven (I can't NOT include this one)

Honorable mention: And Kris Kristofferson song, sung by Kristofferson.

There's too many great musicians to give a top five. Narrowing it down to songs is impossible. I already don't have any Eagles, Jimi Hendrix originals, SRV, buddy Guy, no classical music, no grateful Dead, no Joplin, no Black Sabbath, etc.

I also don't have any Beatles tunes up there. Or Johnny Cash. Or Merle, or Hank, or Willie. Or any pearl Jam. No Nirvana up there either.

kelmac07 · 11-21-2013, 06:20 AM

Top 5?? Got to be Top 20 for me...can't do just 5 (hell, 20 was hard to nail down). In no particular order...

Air Tap! - Eric Mongrain
Gold Dust Woman - Fleetwood Mac
Nights on Broadway - The Bee Gees
Better Be Good To Me - Tina Turner
Al Green - So Tired of Being Alone
Dessert Moon - Dennis DeYoung
Get To Know Ya - Maxwell
Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen
Between The Raindrops - Lifehouse
Forever - Vertical Horizon
Big Yellow Taxi - Counting Crows
Springsteen - Eric Church
Maggie May - Rod Stewart
Your Body Is A Wonderland - John Mayer
Drink, Drank, Drunk - Hellyeah
Fight Music - D12
Find Your Way Back - Jefferson Starship
Hotel California - The Eagles
I'll Play For You - Seals & Croft
Kiss You All Over - Exile

Porch Dweller · 11-21-2013, 07:08 AM

Narrowing it to top 5 is nigh impossible:

The "Medley" from the White Album - Beatles
"Bleak" - Opeth
"La Villa Strangiato" - Rush
"How Many More Times" - Led Zeppelin
"Bridge of Sighs" - Robin Trower
"Raining Blood" - Slayer
"Young Man Blues" - The Who
"Duchess" (live version from 3 Sides Live) - Genesis
"Pushit" - Tool
"Close to the Edge" - Yes
Second Movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony
"Slaves and Bulldozers" - Soundgarden
"Starless" - King Crimson
"Highway Star" - Deep Purple

I could go on for the rest of the day...

DirtRider500R · 11-21-2013, 07:32 AM

I can definitely see how hard it is to narrow them down, I could easily add another 40+ songs to my original list. (Johnny Cash, Eagles, Foo Fighters, Pink Floyd, etc) I'm constantly listening to those original five, which is why I put those.

Somewhat related; Is anybody else some form of a musician?

mahtofire14 · 11-21-2013, 07:38 AM

Drummer, played in the Minneapolis rock scene for 6 years in college and after.

DirtRider500R · 11-21-2013, 07:42 AM

Nice

Right now I'm playing the Baritone Sax in a professional Jazz Combo, and I do both Tenor and Alto for the school Jazz Band. I've been playing for about 7 years now.

Porch Dweller · 11-21-2013, 09:11 AM

I'm a guitar player that's been playing for 30 years. Everything I know is from sheer stubbornness; I have utterly no musical talent at all.

14holestogie · 11-21-2013, 09:22 AM

Drummer as well. Been gigging since the late 60's but learned early on it wasn't going to be a lucrative career, so kept it to a part-time gig.
Took about 25 years off from the 80's until about 4 years ago when I got wrangled into it again.

As far as my favorite 5 songs go, it's always evolving, depending on my mood.

pektel · 11-21-2013, 10:14 AM

I've played piano for 30 years, guitar for 16, and bought a tenor ukulele a few months ago. I'm getting pretty darn good at it, if I do say so myself.

Started learning this one yesterday. It's gonna take quite a while to get all of the patterns down:

Smoqman · 11-21-2013, 01:09 PM

"Bleed" - Meshuggah
"The Pot" - Tool
"Raining Blood" - Slayer / "We are" Karnivool (tied)
"Lawyers, Guns and Money" - Warren Zevon
"Detroit Rock City" - Kiss

(but this'll all change tomorrow
