List your top 25 songs of all time. I'll put my list up later. <font size=""1"">*Idea stolen from Schaddy</font>
Seeing how we have a separate forum for Rap/Hip-Hop, let's exclude this thread to other genres (rock, electronica, soul, etc.); not that I don't like Rap or Hip-Hop, because I do, but it just makes it easier to narrow down the list and choose between songs if we exclude the genres. (This isn't a rule for the thread or anything, just a suggestion that I'll be following.) (list subject to change) 25) Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense And Peppermints 24) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Breaking The Girl 23) Pearl Jam - Black 22) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Scar Tissue 21) The Doors - Riders On The Storm 20) The Doors - Love Street 19) Black Sabbath - Electric Funeral 18) Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 17) The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever 16) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Midnight 15) The Turtles - So Happy Together 14) The Yardbirds - For Your Love 13) Velvet Underground - Venus In Furs 12) The Doors - The Crystal Ship 11) Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing 10) T-Rex - The Slider 9) Incubus - Talk Shows On Mute 8) Red Hot Chili Peppers - This Is The Place 7) The Doors - Love Her Madly 6) Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 5) The Beatles - Something 4) Pink Floyd - See Emily Play 3) The Doors - Light My Fire 2) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication 1) Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">1) Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower</div> You have GREAT taste in music......I was just pumpin that in my ride the other day......All Along the Watchtower would definitely be in my top 10 songs of all time and it's by far my favorite song by Jimi.....the drums, the guitar, the lyrics, everything was PERFECT about that song.

So much of the rock out there today is 100% sh*t, but if you go back to the artists like Hendrix of the late 60's and very early 70's, and a few scattered bands afterwards (RHCP, etc.), it's great, great music. Hip-hop and rock come from the same roots really... and guys like Hendrix play with so much soul that it's hard not to love them...
^^^^yep both were viewed as rebellious forms of music, and slowly but surely both have both succumbed to commercialism.

I'm not even going to try to rank them. Alphabetical Order: Aesop Rock - Daylight Bad Company - Feel Like Makin' Love Beethoven - Symphony #5 Eyedea & Abilities - Music Music Jimi Hendrix - The Wind Cried Mary Johnny Cash - Hurt God is an Astronaut - Forever Lost Gorillaz - Slow Country Gorillaz - Rock the House Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five - The Message Immortal Technique - Dance With the Devil Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused Mogwai - Team Handed Muse - Butterflies & Hurricanes Nine Inch Nails - Closer Opeth - To Bid You Farewell Pink Floyd - Pigs (Three Different Ones) Pink Floyd - Shine On you Crazy Diamond Pink Floyd - Time Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Rilo Kiley - I Never Rock Soundtrack - Gonna Fly Now Tenacious D - Wonderboy The Flaming Lips - Are You a Hypnotist Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Misery A lot of those are just my favorite songs by some of my favorite artists, but whatever.
Couldn't tell you, I don't rate songs. I just have a top 3 or so. I could however, make a top bands/artists list.

You just don't get enough of the good stuff. I have so much you'd like, but they're not on the net. Many of you won't agree, I don't blame you, but that's because you don't know about 80% of the stuff I have that I've never posted here before. I'd like to get that stuff up, but I'm not about to go post all that on Youtube or somewhere else.
<div class="quote_poster">Voodoo Child Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Bob Marley has actually never done the song "Red Red Wine."</div>What ?;D What do you mean that he hasn't done that song. He doesn't sing that song ? Haha. ;D What song do I have then, and all my friends etc ?;D
