Hey Erik - did you hear the duet Nusrat did with Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) on the sound track for Dead Man Walking - absolutely fabulous. Johnny Cash has a killer track on there too.

Hey Erik - did you hear the duet Nusrat did with Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) on the sound track for Dead Man Walking - absolutely fabulous. Johnny Cash has a killer track on there too.

I sure did! Those 2 tunes by Nusrat and Eddie are powerful songs. I have the CD, it's fantastic. JC rocked. His cover album of Soundgarden, 9 Inch Nails etc was awesome too.
Generally, new country makes me vomit, but some of the old, real guys/gals are fantastic.
What are your top 5 my friend?
Peace,
Erik Y.

 

[Fondueset]

Different sort of thing but I went and saw the Earl Scruggs Review back when I was a youngster - completely blew my mind about country. Nobody touches JC - AMAZING Lyics and presence - what he's got didn't come easy.

Take a walk on the wild side - Lou Reed (to say the least!)

Louie Louie - Iggy Pop's Cover " ... there's a sweet little thing, she's-waitin'-for-me but I'm as bent Dos-toy-ev-ski.."

Don't dream it's over - Neil Finn (where to start!)

Brother Ray - Robert Plant ('Trance Mix' of 'Shine it all Around')

Icarus - Oregon (one particular version - which I can't seem to find!) written by Ralph Towner

Shankar (not Ravi) Ragam:Sankarabharanam (double violin, voice and tamboura)

Somewhat arbitrary list however. Five is not possible Also my son has taken all the covers off all my cds - so I can't look up the titles.

Laibach's version of 'Sympathy for the Devil' in german deserves honorable mention - if only for an almost unbelieveable crystallization of the intent - however cracked.

Best DVD so far goes to Neil Finn for '7 Worlds Collide'.

Bowie's Cover of the 'Under Pressure' from his a new DVD the name of which escapes me - his base player has an AMAZING voice and lights this phenomenal tune right up.

But I digress... (then theres, Miles, Coltraine, John Mclaughlin, U2, Cracker, Janes addiction, The Pixies etc. etc. etc. ........ Of course ELP - some early YES - Richie Haven's 'Freedom' from woodstock and that BITCHIN! stuff the Australian Aboriginies do with the didjeridoo - you can ride that sound right into the next universe!)

 

[bdurrett]

Boy, this is not easy but... here goes.....

Top 5 for getting stoked up (in no order except as they come to me)

1) Closer - Nine Inch Nails
2) Morning Sun - New Order
3) Never Let Me Down - Depeche Mode
4) Elevation - U2
5) Hair of the Dog - Nazareth

Top 5 to Chill Out
1) ANYTHING by Sarah McLachlan :inlove
2) Kummert Dich um Dien Leben - Sohne Mannehims (that is a German band led by Xavier Naidoo)
3) Bury My Lovely - October Project
4) Anything from Cowboy Junkies
5) Anything from Melissa Etheridge

Top 5 to :yack when I hear
1) Rap in any form :yack :yack
2) Britney :yack
3) Justin Timberlake :yack :yack
4) Mariah "The Squeaker" Carey :yack
5) Last, but not least, anything by any ex-Spice Girl :head

 

[jome]

Esther - Phish
You enjoy myself - Phish
The Divided Sky - Phish

I guess, you could say I like (or used to like) Phish, the old hippie that I am...This is the album version, I never got to the whole bootlegging thing or other associated phenomena...Just dug the music.

I'm not saying those are the 3 best songs in the world, but they are good and have special meaning to me.

For positions 4. and 5. I've got about 4 trillion candidates, so trying to sort them is pointless...

Worst five? I'm pretty tolerant to music, but let's say that anything that has a video featuring the so called "ass shaking", will propably be music that get's my skin curling (not that I mind the shaking as such, but it's usually associated with that type of music

Loosing My Religion---REM

Oh man.... I used to crank up "All That She Wants" in the car in the morning on the way to work.....

AND I have a friend that played in the orchestra for REM - "Loosing My Religion" when they recorded it in Atlanta.... The ironic part about that is that, by profession, he is ..... you guessed it... An Episcopal Priest! :head

[jimdoe2you]

Hey Bret,

Your picks from a few posts back are right on the money. I burned a disk a year ago with U2's "Elevation" and put Madonna's "Ray of Light" right after it, and the two go great together (and I'm am not even Madonna fan).

If you ever want to get pumped up and get your blood flowing, try "Name of the Game" by The Crystal Method! Make sure you don't listen to it before freediving since it will get your heart beating like a drum!

To everyone else, you've all listed great songs. I personally just couldn't list the top five since the top five changes daily depending on the envinonment and mood I'm in. For example, in south Florida under the sunny sky laying on a boat, the top five songs would be from Bob Marley and Jimmy Buffet!

Of course this thread would become awful and boring if we all got to list our top 100!

 

[Gremlin]

At this very moment:

Sarah McLachlan I Love You
Neil Young Cowgirl In the Sand
Guy Clark Dublin Blues
Black Flag Rise Above
Queens of the Stone Age Little Sister

It all changed but I'll save it for another day.....

 

[Erik]

2.if you dont wana **** me baby, babe *** off-- Wayne county and the electric chairs.

Now you all Know how old and deranged i really am.

Bitchin list of tunes. I was in a punk band in the late 70's and love all the stuff you listed. The Dickies were great. And the Clash....
Didn't Wayne County get a sex-cahange and change his name to Jane County?
Peace,
Erik Y.

10. The Rolling Stones - Love in Vain (but many other Stones' songs may steal this spot)
11. Depeche Mode - Black Celebration / Waiting for the night
