5 favourite songs of all time.

[marinermick]

2. The Slab - Hunters & Collectors

one of the best live songs from one of australia's best live bands

"just one touch, and everything will be alright"

 

[OJ]

1. Imagine-Lennon
2.God only Knows- The Beach Boys
3.Billie Jean-MJ
4.Happiness is a Warm gun-The Beatles
5.Wouldn't it be Nice-The Beach Boys

 

[Atomic]

Triple J listeners' top 5 of all time

1. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
2. Killing In The Name - Rage Against The Machine
3. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
4. Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
5. Paranoid Android - Radiohead

Hard to argue with that... but a bit surprised that Hallelujah made it to #3. Brilliant album and I would've thought Last Goodbye would've been a more popular choice from it.

Out of interest, here is the rest of the Top 10

6. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
7. Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley
8. Under The Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
9. Everlong - Foo Fighters
10. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

Interesting to see how many dead artists are in that list - 5 (at least)

 

[FFC Mariner]

In no particular order (Mainstream)

Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Stairway to Heaven - Led Zep

Pretty Vacant - Pistols

London Calling - Clash

Thats Entertainment - Jam

Top 5 (Ska/Reggae/Soul/Disco/Funk)

[Atomic]

Big ticks for your mainstream selections FCC... especially including The Jam. To Be Someone was the first song I learnt to play (badly) when jamming with my friends as a pimply teenager.

Billy Bragg supported by Weddings Parties Anything at the Civic Theatre Newcastle would be up there with one of the best concerts I have ever seen.

"I'm not looking to change the world, just looking for another girl"

 

[FFC Mariner]

How can you lay back and think of England when you dont even know who's in the team?

In no particular order (Mainstream)

Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Stairway to Heaven - Led Zep

Pretty Vacant - Pistols

London Calling - Clash

Thats Entertainment - Jam

I'll bet around 1977-78 when you were into the last 3 on that list you hated the first two......

 

[FFC Mariner]

LOL, we used to torment those who did - middle class hippy wannabe's

He took the meditation out of the plant and put it in the music.......... Maybe Sean should post a Toots and the Maytals top 5?

Did you see PJ at Eastern Creek in 95? I was at that, f**king unbelievable! 41000, and i was right at the front, full mud mosh! Oh to be 19 again.

I wont lie. In 1995, I was 10. I didn't go to my first concert til I was 11, and that was Cold Chisel. Haha, I saw them in....2001 I think it was? I was in year 10.

Cailin - Unwritten Law
Harpoon - Jebidiah (will also take the something for kate version and only slightly edged leaving home and teflon)
You sound like Louis Burdett - The Whitlams
The Dirty Glass - The Dropkick Murphys
Time bomb - Rancid (although some of the new stuff is pretty fricken awesome)

I love your list. Jebediah "Slightly Oddway" is amazing.

MxPx - Quit Your Life

Awesome, but there are so many other PX songs I would have chosen before this one... Before Everything and After is no match for their other, earlier albums.

Looking at that list again I realise that the only band I have failed to see live is Rancid, all the rest I have seen multiple times lol. and agree 5 is just to short a list.

Gotta say, I love 'Journey To The End Of The East Bay' off that album

love that song! maxwell murder is better tho

See I rate ruby soho better than both of those songs but I think it shows which part of their music you identify with more by the songs you choose of it.

...and out come the wolves has to be the strongest album Rancid did

I want you back- Jackson 5 (edges out ABC)                    1969
Girl Crazy- Hot Chocolate (edges out everyones a winner)    1982
Breaking Free- Queen (I saw the video clip for the first time yesterday...man that is gay) 1984                  I first heard it 2009...how about that
I'm gonna be (500 miles)- Proclaimers    (edges Queen- Champions)            1988

Muse are my favourite band of all time, but something about Pearl Jam(in particular Eddie Vedder) just makes me stop everything and listen

+1. Eddie Vedder is awesome...When I saw them live, it was just amazing. Don't know what it is hey...his cover of "Hide Your Love Away" on the I am Sam soundtrack is amazing...

1. Cailin - Unwritten Law
2. The Beautiful Letdown - Switchfoot
3. The Science of Selling Yourself Short - Less Than Jake
4. Death Bed - Relient K
5. Wishlist - Pearl Jam

Only 5 is lame. haha. They are definately the 5 songs I'll never go past on the iPod.

Did you see PJ at Eastern Creek in 95? I was at that, f**king unbelievable! 41000, and i was right at the front, full mud mosh! Oh to be 19 again.

I was at that one!!! BIGGEST mosh pitt Ive ever been in. I remember coming out of it drenched in others peoples sweat. If I remember correctly the meanies and cosmic psycos played support.
Ahhhh, the good old days.
