Yeah they really are great.

Just finishing up Rein's playlist. I like it. Prog's is next. I hope everyone is listening to eachother's music. It's a good way to expose people to stuff they may not be aware of, so please make it easy and hypertext the you tube videos into your titles, if you know how.

5. Train Kept a Rollin - Aerosmith

[ScorpionDeadman]

In no order:

Pantera: Cowboys from hell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USDlhWJGinI&feature=related

Nirvana: Breed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNYgNpAX__M

Michael Jackson: Bad
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BxAKIkO_tw

And just one more because I can't choose just 5

Cannibal Corpse: Hammer Smashed Face
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMBNNFObSM0

 

[karamazov80]

OK. Off the top of my head:

1) The Modern Jazz Quartet and Laurindo Almeida--One Note Samba
sublime

2) The Beatles--You Never Give Me Your Money

3) The Police--King of Pain

4) Bill Evans Trio--Waltz for Debby

5) Steve Earl--Hometown Blues

runners-up would be a Michael Jackson song of some sort, probably a Pixies tune, maybe something by Wes Montgomery or Tony Rice.

 

[pixletwin]

A jazz man. My biggest academic regret is that I didn't get my degree in jazz composition.

My favorite jazz tracks are Coltrane: My Favorite Things, Billie Holiday: Solitude, and Miles Davis: It Never Entered My Mind

 

[karamazov80]

I have also often thought that, if I could go back in time, I would have started playing an instrument as a 12 year old or so, and would have at least done that as a serious hobby if not a career. There is nothing in this world I love so much as good music.

My favorite Coltrane piece is probably Giant Steps. Supposedly an incredibly difficult piece for Jazz musicians to solo to.

Another of my favorites is Thelonious Monk. The definition of an acquired taste, but once you "get it," there is really nothing else like him.

 

[Batty]

Are these songs supposed to be your all-time favorite top 5 or your most played at the moment?

 

[ProgMatinee]

mine were kinda just random honestly. its impossible to pick 5

 

[Batty]

I'm going to go with the top 5 on my ipod right now:

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros "Johnny Appleseed"

Broken Social Scene "World Sick"

John Lennon "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night"

Led Zeppelin "Over the Hills and Far Away"

Pearl Jam "Daughter"

 

[karamazov80]

Pearl Jam "Daughter"

Very first CD I ever bought, and still one of my favorites.
