I'll start:
(In no particular order)
Suck My Kiss, the Red Hot Chili Peppers
I Should Have Known Better, The Beatles
Time, Pink Floyd
Laughter In the Rain, Neil Sedaka
Behind Blue Eyes, The Who
So Lonely, The Police
I Will Follow You Into the Dark, Death Cab for Cutie
Vera, Pink Floyd
Paint it Black, The Rolling Stones
Under the Bridge, the Red Hot Chili Peppers

Please post your list in the same format.

I think I might make a new list for this thread everyday..

You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, The Beatles
New Slang, The Shins
Car, Built to Spill
Rave On, Buddy Holly
Walk On The Wild Side, Lou Reed
Taxman, The Beatles
Paranoid Android, Radiohead
The New Pollution, Beck
Rain Dogs, Tom Waits
Gravity Rides Everything, Modest Mouse

I've got to agree somewhat with that statement. It's very hard to pick an all-time favorite top ten list if your interests are always shifting across a vast musical landscape. So I'll ignore the "all time" scenario and offer up my current top ten favorites:

"Hippo Stomp" by Steppenwolf
"20th Century Boy" by T. Rex
"Mindless Child of Motherhood" by the Kinks
"Red House" by Jimi Hendrix
"Ship of Fools" by the Grateful Dead
"Last Wall of the Castle" by Jefferson Airplane
"Sufferin' in the Land" by Jimmy Cliff
"Jimmy Newman" by John Denver
"Here Comes the Sun" by Richie Havens
"Twistin' the Night Away" by Sam Cooke

I don't know, i guess as of 6/10/07:

in no particular order.

Modest Mouse - "Here It Comes"
Tom Waits - "Clap Hands"
The Shins - "Caring Is Creepy"
Built To Spill - "Sidewalk"
The Mars Volta - "This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed"
Sparta - "Cut Your Ribbon"
Crime In Choir - "Hot Slant"
Broken Social Scene - "7/4 (Shoreline)"
Radiohead - "Electioneering"
Pixies - "Monkey Gone To Heaven"

Remember Tomorrow - Iron Maiden (original version with Paul Di'anno!)
English Civil War - The Clash
Halloween - Misfits
Baby let's play house - Elvis Presley
Elvis Fucking Christ - The Cramps
Stutterin cindy - Charlie Feathers
Blue Yodel - Jimmie Rodgers

Let me answer this question tomorrow, and you'll have ten different songs probably.

I am the Walrus - The Beatles
Frownland - Captain Beefheart
Solo Dancer - Charles Mingus
Hurricane Fighter Plane - Red Crayola
Alifib - Robert Wyatt
John Cope - Talk Talk
Playhouses - Tv On The Radio
Summertime - Ella Fitzgerald
Take Five - Dave Brubeck
Hey - Pixies

While it was recorded for the hack's record....Take Five is a composition by DA MAN aka Paul Desmond. The two fisted hack couldn't come up with anything like that on his own.


DA MAN ended up hating it so much he gave away all future royalties.

i might as well toss in my 2 cents.

you don't know what love is - eric dolphy (live)
better get hit in yo' soul - charles mingus
theme de yo-yo - the art ensemble of chicago
epistrophy - thelonius monk
voodoo chile - jimi hendrix
airborne - jaga jazzist
invitation - jaco pastorius
dark side of the moon (side 1) - pink floyd
three days - jane's addiction
i want you (she's so heavy) - the beatles

Could you have imagined 5-years or even 2-years ago that you put together a list which had more Jazz than Rock?

5 years ago... no. 2 years ago... maybe although it would have probably been closer to a 50/50 split.
