if you could only listen to 5 songs for the rest of your life, what would they be?

Joker - Steve Miller Band
When the Levee Breaks - Zeppelin
Katmandu - Bob Seeger
Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy
Imagine - John Lennon

 

Led Zeppelin - Achillies Last Stand
The Beatles - We All Shine On
CSNY - Carry On/Wooden Ships
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

 

"Neighborhood #4"- Arcade Fire

"Oh You pretty Things!"- David Bowie

 

dark star - GD
pharoes dance - miles davis
scarlet-->fire - GD
lively up yourself - bob marley
love song - the cure

 

hows about for the rest of today?

1) Champagne Supernova ~ Oasis
2) Wonderwall ~ Oasis
3) Drunk Girl ~ Something Corporate
4) Wonderwall ~ Ryan Adams
5) Between Days ~ Red House Painters

 

which wonderwall do you like more? I couldn't believe someone actually topped oasis on that song. I thought it was the greatest thing in the world and then here came ryan adams to make it better, in my opinion...

my list just for today:
the pusher-blind melon cover
rocketman by elton john
a whiter shade of pale by procol harum
the needle and the damage done by neil young
lsf by kasabian

 

haha, i've got much much more than just the album version and ryan adams' cover. i have almost 20 different Wonderwalls..

Ryan's cover is so great, but my favourite version of the song is from June 15, 2005 (Noel-sung)

 

Up the bracket (The Libertines)
Silent all these years (Tori Amos)
Voodoo Child (Jimi Hendrix)
Sunday Bloody Sunday (U2)
Hyper-ballad (Björk)

 

somehow it doesn't surprise me that you got 20 wonderwalls

 

awesome.

 

Something like;

Edwyn Collins - A girl like you
Bo Diddley - Who do you love
Can, the - Mary mary, so contrary
Black Sabbath - Into the void
Revels - Comanche

But, of course, I'm gonna hate these songs if these are the only 5 for the rest of my life. They're not my fav's now, I just choose 5 from all my favourites, that are many more.
Ah well, this is very logic.

 

Ballad In Urgency>Wisertime -The Black Crowes
Trouble - Jayhawks
Down By The River - Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Dreams - Allman Brothers
He's Simple,He's Dumb,He's The Pilot - Grandaddy

 

Monkey And The Engineer - Grateful Dead
Acoustic Melody - Bob Marley
