This is a dangerous topic… I'd like to see how some people handle this… please limit it to only three. I'll start:<P>P.J. Harvey: this mess we're in<BR>Echo and the Bunneymen : Killing Moon<BR>Radiohead : anyone can play guitar<P>… I know a little T. Yorke here… but it's what came to mind. I'll probably post again when I'm in a different mood.
Your favorite songs
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (its a cover, so what)<BR>Beatles - A Day In The Life<BR>Pixies - Where is My Mind?<P>leaving a bunch off
This is way too tough!!!!!
Yeah, I know. I started this thread and already I have other songs in mind… depending on mood, what side of the bed I get out of and so on…. in fact I think sometimes my favs on one day are horrible the next. Heck I just listened to Ties that bind by springsteen and at times I would put that high up there.
Hmm…these three are among my favorites: <P>1.) Howlin Wolf- "Evil"<BR>Next to Sam Cooke, Howlin Wolf is my favorite male singer, and "Evil" is my favorite Howlin Wolf track. <P>2.) Joy Division- "Twenty Four Hours"<BR>Very bleak and intense. I dunno… maybe it's because of the weather today…<P>3.) Funkadelic- "Alice In My Fantasies" <BR>Excellent guitar riff and the vocals are over-the-top. I always have a copy of this with me at all times.
this is too tough for me to pick… so instead of naming them, i'll just say that it's too tough to choose
"Crystal" – New Order
here's 3…<P>Catherine Wheel " Black Metallic" ( or "Show Me Mary")<P>Funkadelic " Standing on the Verge of Getting It on" ( or "Cosmic Slop")<P>Warren Zevon "Lawyers, Guns and Money"( or "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner")<P>….although I could name 3 more right now….<P>tough choices…
The Waterboys - And a bang on the ear<P>Pixies - The Happening<P>Pavement - Range life<P>And I had to leave the Pogues out, that was tough.
Jane's Addiction - ted, just admit it<BR>Tom Petty - American Girl<BR>Pixies - Debaser

<P>I've been listening to this "Black Metallic" single I got at the Black Cat rock and shop sale. Can't get enough of it. I wouldn't personally pick "Show me Mary" in addition but perhaps "Crank" or "The Nude" from "Chrome."

All of my favorite songs at this moment are too new to see if they'll stand the test of time so I'll stick to guaranteed things.<P>If I have to pick three right now, they are:<BR>Verve ~ Rolling People<BR>Stone Roses ~ I am the Resurrection<BR>Spoon ~ Anything You Want<P>I also considered:<BR>Cure ~ Pictures of You<BR>Rolling Stones ~ Sway<BR>Pavement ~ Summer Babe<BR>Guns N Roses ~ Rocket Queen<BR>Smashing Pumpkins ~ I Am One<P>
don't start me talking
I could talk all night
my mind goes sleepwalking
while I'm putting the world to right
called careers information
have you got yourself an occupation
CHORUS:
oliver's army is here to stay
oliver's army are on their way
and I would rather be anywhere else
but here today
there was a checkpoint charlie
he didn't crack a smile
but it's no laughing party
when you've been on the murder mile
only takes one itchy trigger
one more widow, one less white nigger
chorus
hong kong is up for grabs
london is full of arabas
we could be in palestine
overrun by a chinese line
with the boys from the mersey and the thames and the tyne
but there's no danger
it's a professional career
though it could be arranged
with just a word in mr. Churchill's ear
if you're out of luck you're out of work
we could send you to johannesburg
oliver's army is here to stay
oliver's army are on their way
and I would rather be anywhere else
but here today
and I would rather be anywhere else
but here today
and I would rather be anywhere else
but here today

Shine a Light by The Rolling Stones
Shine a Light by Spiritualized

The Spiritualized song will always be on there but the other two could change.

I would have to add "Red Army Blues" The Waterboys. Interesting note at the end of the song, taken from his official website.
RED ARMY BLUES
When I left my home and my family
my mother said to me
"Son, it's how many Germans you kill that counts
Go set your country free"
So I packed my bags and I brushed my cap
and I walked out into the world
Seventeen years old,
never kissed a girl
I took the train to Voronezh
- that was as far as it would go
Exchanged my sacks for a uniform,
bit my lip against the snow
I prayed for Mother Russia
in the summer of '43
and as we drove the Germans back
I really believed God was listening to me
Then we howled into Berlin,
tore the smoking buildings down,
raised the Red Flag high,
burnt the Reichstag brown
I saw my first American
- he looked a lot like me
He had the same kind of farmer's face,
said he came from some place called Hazard, Tennessee
When the war was over
my discharge papers came
Me and twenty hundred others
went to Stettiner for the train
"Kiev!" said the Commissar
"from there your own way home"
But I never got to Kiev
We never came back home
The train went north to the taiga
We were stripped and marched in file
up the Great Siberian road
for miles and miles and miles and miles
Dressed in stripes and tatters
in a Gulag left to die
all because Comrade Stalin feared
that we'd become too westernized !
I used to love my country
I used to feel so young
I used to believe that life
was the best song ever sung
I would have died for my country
back in 1945
but now only one things remains
- the brute will to survive
(Note. Years after this song was released I received a letter from a Russian man who said every word of the song was true except the line "It's not how many Germans you kill that counts, it's how many people you set free"(first verse). He told me "people went to the war to kill Germans". I realize that when I wrote the song I allowed youthful idealism to distort the sense and truth of the song with an out of context pacifist sentiment. I have now changed it. MS)
