Name Your Top 10 Songs
Ok, time for another light post. What are your top ten songs?
1. Landslide by Stevie Nicks 2. All That I Am by Rob Thomas 3. Delirious Love by Neil Diamond 4. Heart Of The Matter by Don Henley 5. Hotel California by The Eagles 6. Walk The Line by Johnny Cash 7. Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash 8. Insensitive by Jann Arden 9. Words by The Bee Gees 10. Picture by Sheryl Crow & Kid Rock
I don't really have a top ten (and I don't work in lists anyway, but here are a few of my favorites:
- Strong Enough by Sheryl Crow - Man on the Side by John Mayer - Goodnight Elisabeth by the Counting Crows - Sister by the Nixons - Stay by Lisa Loeb - You and Me by Lifehouse - Extraordinary by Liz Phair
I generally avoid this question because I like so many songs and it's impossible for me to pick exactly ten that are significantly above all others. But for you, Jack, I'll try! Here's are ten that at least would be near the top of my favorite 50. In no particular order:
1) "Crazy On You", Heart 2) "Whipping Post", Allmans 3) "Jungleland", Bruce Springsteen 4) "My Little Town", Paul Simon 5) "Miracles Out Of Nowhere", Kansas 6) "Go Your Own Way", Fleetwood Mac 7) "Blue Collar Man", Styx 8) "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding", Elton John 9) "Ballad of Billy the Kid", Billy Joel 10) "A Day In The Life", Beatles
It changes all the time, but right now as I type, they are:
1. Heroes by David Bowie 2. Gloria by U2 3. Jackson by Johnny Cash and June Carter 4. Car Wheels on a Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams 5. The Long Way Around by the Dixie chicks 6. Just Like Heaven by The Cure 7. Driver 8 by R.E.M. 8. I Melt With You by Modern English 9. Violet by Hole 10. Alameda by Elliott Smith
Mr. Jones - Counting Crows Down on the Corner - CCR America - Simon and Garfunkel Changes - Tupac Salsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel Semi Charmed Life - 3rd Eye Blind The Whole World - Outkast Let It Be - Beatles Tonight Tonight - Pumpkins Broken Phonebooth - Primitive Radio Gods

Paula,
That is my problem, it is subject to change at any time. But I can say that I never get tired of Johnny or the Eagles.
Shoshana,
Liz Phair has some good material.
