Here it is folks! My top 10 songs of all time, which change weekly probably lol.
1) Zero---Smashing Pumpkins---Recently moved up. I've been listening to alot of Pumpkins lately, and this has always been one of my favorites. Billy Corgans guitar, with some lyrics that really speak to me, have put it here
2) Negative Creep---Nirvana---I was torn, between this and "Rape Me". But I love the "Bleach" album, and this song is just raw power at its finest. I love the heavy bass line thru it, and whoever is drumming on it is really hitting it.
3) Come Dancing---The Kinks---It may not be their "best" song, but it is my favorite. And I believe their last song that hit the charts. Part of the reason I like it is that as a kid, it opened up the door to alot of the British bands of that era, that weren't the Stones or the Beatles.
4) Gimme Gimme Gimme---Black Flag---"Sitting here like a loaded gun, waiting to go off, I got, nothing to do, but shoot my mouth off" easily Henry Rollins best line. When you're a teenager, and you have all sorts of things going on inside you, and in your head, this song speaks volumes to you. And Henry Rollins singing/yelling/growling catch the mood perfect.
5) Alfie---Lily Allen---it is a funny song, catchy, and uses the word "twat". My wife bought this cd, and just happened to have it in the car one day. I bet I've listened to this song 100 times in a week.
6) Angels and Fuselage---Drive By Truckers---Quite possibly the saddest song ever written. It's the last song on a concept album about Lynyrd Skynrd. It describes the plane going down, and they hit all the emotions in one song. It's a great album too if you like Southern Rock.
7) Must Have Been the Pills I Took---Hank Williams III--singing about waking up from a binge, the house destroyed, people crying...and he has the reason why. Country at punk speed, and some of the finest country players around.
8) Gay Bar---Electric Six---Great song, funny video on www.rathergood.com. Thats where I found the song, and it's incredibly catchy. And I'm not gay, but I have been to a gay bar, and he's right, it's a load of fun
9) Sugar---System of a Down---They have so many great songs, but I think that this is my favorite. Really catchs the energy and talent of the band. And the video, with the dude with the shaved head and foot long goatee sticks in your head lol.
10) Don't You Steal My Sunshine---Len---I know, the song is so sugarry, your teeth hurt. But no matter when I hear it, or see the video, I must stop til it is over.
Honorable Mention---Bodies/Sex Pistols, Me and My Monkey/Beatles, Fade to Black/Rolling Stones, I'm a Man/any version, Down on the Bayou/Creedance Clearwater Revival, Charlotte the Harlot/Iron Maiden, Boyz in da Hood/NWA, Automobile/Easy E, Bring da Noize/Anthrax/Public Enemy/ Hey Ya/Outcast
I'm sure there are others, but here are my faves. If you have one, feel free to comment it. I'm always looking for new music to listen to.
