edwinr Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 This is a list of songs I have ALWAYS liked. Not just the flavor of the month.

Castles in the Air – Don McLean 6. Don’t Worry Baby – Brian Wilson/Beach Boys 7. You’re Going to Lose that Girl – The Beatles 8. No particular Place To Go - Chuck Berry 9. Spanish Harlem – Ben E. King 10. In Dreams – Roy Orbison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinr Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 This is my wife's list. She's 17 years younger than me so I guess she has a slightly more progressive outlook - but still relatively conservative, I guess... 1. Bright Eyes - Simon and Garfunkel 2. For Your Babies - Simply Red and most of his stuff 3. Love Today, My interpretation, Grace Kelly, Your Sympathy – Mika, everything by Mika 4. Bohemian Rhapsody, You’re My Best Friend, Killer Queen - Queen 5. Vincent - Don McLean 6. No One is to Blame - Howard Jones 7. Tropicalia - Beck8. I Want You - Savage Garden 9. Lightning Crashes - Live 10. Creep – Radiohead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilbucd Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I don't think I could name a favorite top ten list. I would be constantly updating it as other songs came to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSamuel Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Impossible to name top 10. So here's 10 that come to mind today that I always like hearing.... or have special meaning ... in no particular order Flowers Are Red - Harry Chapin Saturday In The Park - Chicago (probably not my absolute favourite Chicago but was for a while in my youth.... ) Turning Thirty - Randy Stonehill What A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong Doubly Good To You - Amy Grant Convertibles - White Heart Free Ride - Edgar Winter Band (hard to pass on Frankenstein but have always loved the Free Ride guitar riff) Flight Of The Cosmic Hippo - Bela Fleck & The Flecktones Sister Rosa - The Neville Brothers Merry Christmas Baby - Bonnie Raitt & Chales Brown ( or maybe Santa Clause Is Comin' To Town by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band) As I thought, way too difficult to come up with a top ten so consider this a random list of 10 favorites right this minute 2008-10-16 15:30 EDT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelA Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Oooh, I'll play! Very hard indeed. These come to mind right off the bat: 1. Universally Speaking - Red Hot Chili Peppers 2.

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - The Platters 9. Hurt - Johnny Cash 10. Suspicious Minds - Elvis Presley I will need to think more to narrow down a top 10, but I really like Human Wheels from Mellencamp as well. Some of his best writing in that song I feel. Good choice Amy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appleskinner Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 It would have been easier to list 50. I have too many favorites by the Beatles, SRV, Dire Straits and Neil Young so had to leave them off completely. Soulshine (Allman Brothers) Come On In My Kitchen (Robert Johnson) Joker (Steve Miller Band) Knockin' On Heaven's Door (Bob Dylan) Drift Away (Dobie Gray) Stormy Monday (T-Bone Walker Stand By Me (Ben E. King) Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd) Cocaine (Eric Clapton) Angie (Rolling Stones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
