Ugh, I hate doing this. There are so many albums and songs that I have to leave off. It feels next to impossible to actually pick top 5's, especially since my choices always seem to reflect what I'm listening to at the moment, not what my true favorites are. I'm always changing my mind. Oh well. There's an average list of what I like right now.

 

hmm....here goes(in no real order, just the ones i can think of):

albums
1)Everybody Deserves Music - Michael Franti
2)The Piper At The Gates of Dawn - Pink Floyd
3)The Doors - The Doors, duh!
4)Live At Berkeley(forgot which show) - Jimi Hendrix

songs
1)Gloria!! by the Doors...the live version is the greatest song ever.
2)Sunshine of Your Love by Jimi hendrix....i believe this is the name of the song, its all guitar/drums, no lyrics at all, just 6 and a half minutes of pure musical orgasms
3)Two Little Girls by ani difranco
4)Not A Pretty Girl by ani d
5)All The Freaky People by michael franti

Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan
Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan
Tommy - The Who
Velvet Underground & Nico




Songs-

Baba O'Reilly - The Who
And...
Damn, a lot of other ones! That lists goes on forever...

 

oh yeah, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles is one of my favorites too.

 

"The Story" by Ani Difranco is arguably the greatest song ever made, I just realized

 

Top 5 Albums
1. American Beauty - Grateful Dead
2. Are you experienced? - Jimi Hendrix
3. Die Hards - The Casualties
4. Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles

5. The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil - Jefferson Airplane

gah, this is so frustrating trying to pick just 5 song and 5 albums....

 

oh yeah, china cat sunflower, cream puff war, caution, and cant come down all by the grateful dead

i will prolly prolly keep posting as my favorite songs come into my head if ya dont like it, bite me ...please

 

I thought you hated the Grateful Dead. You told me you thought they sucked ass.

 

They don't suck, but there is much better music. Most people only listen to them becaue they are "hippie music". I only like their 60s jam music.

Also on my favorite songs list, "Tones Of Home", "No Rain", "All That I Need", and a few other Blind Melon songs.

 

CSNY, Neil Young, The Dead... it's so hard to decide. CSN(Y) still exists... and Neil does too... the dead don't... their concerts are awesome... you people really need to go to one. Stephen Stills plays a lot more slide nowadays due to arthritis...

 

I love Almost Cut My Hair. I have the album on my phonograph right this very minute and it is BEAUTIFUL. I rented a Neil Youngs Greatest Hits CD (I think it was called Decade) from the library, and it had Needle and the Damage Done. I should probably put that on the my favourite songs list because it is arguably one of the best songs I've listened to in a LONG time.

Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me. I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm goin' to...

I know it's hard, but it entitles you to think and thinking is good.

Heehee...I don't have to go to school today...I'm "sick".

 

Almost Cut My Hair is one of the most awesome songs ever written. David Crosby is the man/woman (politically correctness).

 

Albums
The Wall-Pink Floyd
Back in Black-AC/DC
Songs from the Wood-Jethro Tull
Led Zeppelin IV- Zeppelin
Close to the Edge-Yes

Songs
Plunger-Umphreys Mcgee
War Pigs-Black Sabbath
Ziggy Stardust-David Bowie
Sunday Bloody Sunday-U2
Godzilla- Blue Oyster Cult

 

I remembered another that fits into the top category of insane/passionate love for a song.

Queen Jane Approximately - Bob Dylan

How could I let myself forget that one, when it has kept my sanity contained more times than I'd like to admit. I'd have the song sewn onto my heart, if only that weren't so physically impossible. Oooh, how I love that song. It's so, well, perfect!

 

The Byrds did such a kickass version of that song. The origanal Dylan one is good too, though. It's gloomier, almost...

 

I'm not as big of a fan of albums as I am individual songs. So, here's a couple of my favorites.

Songs
Hurricane- Bob Dylan
Devil's Advocate (Heaven vs Hell)- DJ Shadow
High- Stabbing Westward
Cannon in D- Pachelbel
Just Like Heaven- The Cure
Organ Donor- DJ Shadow
Salsa de noche- Gipsy Kings
Thrown Away- VAST
Comfortably Numb- Pink Floyd

And I'm sure this is the same for all of you: this doesn't even scratch the surface of my musical tastes.

 

Fucking awesome song, dude
you should download Ani D's cover of that song, its one of my favorites also

 

when will they all see Blackie ?!?
