I want it noted for the record that I shall abstain from participating until the OP changes the number of picks from 10 to 100. The header was pure trickery and should be reported to the proper authorities.
P.S.: I agree with imthjckaz: Cool picks Zoggie!
You said:
I agree. ‘The End’ is one of the most under-appreciated - if a tad on the short side - Beatles’ songs;) (and, some would say, the most fitting…)
…my previuos post, and yes, the recount does say, Doors, by a landslide.
I had to do a double check because sometimes my brain and my fingers are not working together, you know what I mean, I’m thinking MaryAnn, but my fingers write Ginger, kind of goofy, eh.
Shortside? The End goes 10+ minutes.
Zoggie, your last two songs are good songs, but just not my cup o tea.
Some people ying while others yang, thats what makes the world go around.
And I don’t have a cutesy pop teenybopper music taste either. Too much sugar.
Imthjckaz- Well that’s good then…still feel bad about not putting Pink Floyd on…SIGH. And there’s a really good Billy Idol song on the radio now…plus I sort of forgot Janis Joplin…it’s just I had to prioritize…basically meant putting on the songs I had actually listened to quite recently or just really knew I loved. Ten’s not enough, damnit!
Oh yes, another vote for Welcome to the Jungle.
I’ve just read other people’s lists and am especially interested in those that include XTC, Husker Du and The Goddess Herself Kate Bush…
Did I mention I have my own college radio show called “The Spandex Years?” Look here ( http://www.geocities.com/spandex_years ) for more info. Did I mention I’m doing a Husker Du special Wednesday, May 2nd that you can listen to over the net by going to http://radio.cwru.edu and checking out the archive? Did I mention I’ve done specials (which I’ve airchecked) of XTC, Kate Bush, Mojo Nixon and others?
If any of this sounds interesting to any of you, drop me a line at p_marvel@yahoo.com .
You shoudda paid attention to the wink… I was talking about the second to last song on ‘Abbey Road’. All 2 minutes and three seconds of it, with a 1:32 ‘intro’ (beginning with ‘Oh yeah, alright. Are you going to be in my dreams tonight?’, followed by the solos and concluding with ‘And, in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make’ (0:31)).
And ‘fitting’ because, aside from the ‘Her Majesty’ dittie, it could be considered as the last song on the last Beatles album ever recorded.
Yes, let’s see how it develops over the coming weeks (always the optimist). I did expect more votes for established classics like Stairway to Heaven, Bohemian Rhapsody, etc.
Empty Spaces/What Shall We do Now? From Pink Floyd, The Wall Live 1981-82. I think if two songs are typically played as a meddly, they should count as one.
Kashmir, Led Zepplin. I can’t believe I haven’t seen this one on here yet.
Won’t Get Fooled Again, The Who. A true classic
Jump, Van Halen
You Shook Me All Night Long, AC/DC
Spirit of the Radio, Rush
Heartbreaker, Led Zepplin. Contains one of the best guitar solos ever.
You Can’t Always Get What You Want, The Rolling Stones
These aren’t necessarily all of my personal favorites-I listen to REM’s “Try Not to Breathe” more often than “Losing my Religion,” but I don’t know how many people are familiar with it.
