song list

[troutsmart 0]

As an avid music fan, I often enjoy the fact that poker and music mix quite well. I think the music keeps me grounded overall in my play. Provides a calming effect of sorts. I've compiled a list of my top 40 rock songs of all-time. If you read the December 9, 2004 edition of Rolling Stone, I used it as a guide, as pulling my favorite songs from thin air proved impossible. 1 - (I Can't get no) Satisfaction -- Rolling Stones The stones difinitive song. I'm a huge Rolling Stones fan, and could put numerous of their songs as my favorites, but when I think about the Rolling Stones, I think of Jagger swaying to Satisfaction.2- Hey Jude -- The Beatles I don't really know how one seperates the Beatles catalog, but Hey Jude was their biggest hit, and a personal favorite of mine to play on the piano.3 - My Generation -- The Who Watching the Who play this on a old tape of the Ed Sullivan show made me an instant fan. Townsend is perhaps one of the most talented musicians to ever play a chord.4- Like a Rolling Stone -- Bob Dylan The guy was (is) a genius. Lyrically unmatched.5 - Imagine -- John Lennon6- Yesterday -- The Beatles7- London Calling -- The Clash8 - I want to hold you hand -- the Beatles Can you tell that I'm a Beatles fan?9 - Born to Run -- Bruce Springstein10- Let it be -- The Beatles11 - Sittin" on the Dock of the Bay -- Otis Redding Brilliant Song. Sad he was killed just a few days after recording it.12- In My Life -- the Beatles13 - What's going on -- Marvin Gaye14 - What'd I Say -- Ray Charles15 - Blowin' in the wind -- Bob Dylan16 -- A change is gonna come -- Sam Cooke His album 'Live at the Harlem Club' is one of the greatest live performances. Soul music at its finest. Another one that died too young.17- Purple Haze -- Jimi Hendrix18 - Stairway to Heaven -- Led Zepplin19 - One -- U220 - Respect -- Aretha Franklin This probably deserves to be higher.21 - Hound Dog -- Elvis Presley22 - You've lost that lovin' feelin' -- the Righteous Brothers23 - Good Vibrations -- the Beach Buys24 - Johnny B Goode -- Chuck Berry The beginning of rock. Really should be much higher.25 - Be my Baby -- the Ronettes26 - Layla --Eric Clapton27 - Sympathy for the Devil -- the Rolling Stones28 - Georgia on my Mind -- Ray Charles29 - Heroes -- David Bowie30 - Heartbreak Hotel -- Elvis Presley31 - Grace -- Jeff Buckley Underappreciated artist. I recommend a listen if you're unfamiliar. 32 - When a man loves a women - Percy Sledge33 - Whiter Shade of Pale -- Procol Harum34 - the times they are a changin' -- Bob Dylan35 - Iris -- Goo Goo Dolls36 - When Doves Cry -- Prince37- Gimme Shelter -- Rolling Stones38 - Light my fire -- the Doors39 - Whole lotta love -- Led Zepplin40 - Bridge over troubled water -- Simon and GarfunkelFavorite Songs at the moment--1 - Bowl of Oranges -- Bright Eyes2 - American Idiot -- Green Day3 - Hummingbird -- Wilco4 - Dolphins -- Tim Buckley5 - Karma Police -- Radiohead6 - Both Sides Now -- Joni Mitchell7 - Under Pressure -- Queen and David Bowie8 - Mad World -- Michael Andrews9 - George Harrison -- As my guitar gently weeps10 - Silent Sigh -- Badly Drawn BoyWhat are you guys listening to?

I'm a big fan of the smiths and morrisey. His latest was one of my favorites last year. Joy Division was brilliant, and sad story. Sad someone so talented would commit suicide. I occasionally listen to cure and Depeche Mode. Robert Smith is one of the few good things to appear out of the 80's. Romeo void is definitely cool.

Eh, I'm more 2pac, Jay-z, Old Death Row, Bone Thugs, Eminem.Pretty strange mix I guess. Ah, but on the hip hop thing.. Jurrassic 5 aint bad.

[MSR 0]

Yeah, Tribe Called Quest is where its at. Other good hip hop is The Roots, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Leaders of the New School, Digable Planets, and of course Biggie. I'm not really a fan of current pop-type hip hop like Ludacris and g-unit and that junk.

I worked in record stores in the late 80's early 90's and I have to admit I'm not as up to date on all the bands out there as I used to be. There's so many bands these days and it's kinda hard to wade through all the crap to get to the good stuff.

I wish I had a way to find the top like 200 in 1994... now that would be a good list. That year was sweet!

18 - Stairway to Heaven -- Led Zepplin39 - Whole lotta love -- Led Zepplin

Biggest radio hit of all time (Starway) + only song to crack Billboard top 10 (WLL)I strongly suggest investing in the entire Zeppelin Catalogue. HehBut my top groups:Led ZeppelinThe Tragically HipNeil YoungMetallicaNirvanaJethro Tull

Definately check out (i.e. download) the new 50 cent album. If your already a 50 fan then it won't disappoint as he has better lyrics and beats than Get Rich and Die Tryin. If you don't like rap then your too old. J/K

Lots of good songs, but you missed a key one: Turn of a Friendly Card - Alan Parson's Project
