[letterdavidman]

These are in no particular order, and I reserve the right to change my mind 5 minutes from now when I think of something different.

Hey, I think it's understood that we all reserve that right.

 

[JennyMominRI]

Did anyone put Fleetwood Mac - Rumors
or
Peter Frampton -Frampton Comes Alive?

 

[letterdavidman]

Is this the one with Girlfriend in a Coma?

It's the one with "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out". Among others.

 

[letterdavidman]

It is threads like these that make me realize just how out of touch I am. I am looking at the names of some of these bands -- Staind, Seether, Sevendust, Shinedown,
KoRn. My first thoght on all of them are - WHO ARE THESE BANDS!?!?! I'm not saying that it's bad that people list them as their favorites. Each to their own. It just makes me realize that I have no interest in the music that is being produced these days. I feel so old.

Yeah. Sadly, though, in my case I tend to look askance at mainstream rock after, say, '97 or '98. For one thing, whenever I heard anything by the "second generation" grunge acts, I usually wanted to scream for them to make it stop. And don't get me started on nu metal (or, what I preferred to call it--mook rock). The less said about that travesty, the better (with apologies to all you Korn, Staind, and... er... Limp Bizkit fans out there).

Probably, I'm just stubbornly showing my age...

Ooh, I forgot that one! Totally reminds me of my senior year in HS/freshman year in college (my then-BF put a couple of DM songs on the first mix tape he ever made for me. )

I was going to post this question last night, but realized there was no way I could narrow it down to just 10 lol.

Yes! Another Killers fan(what do you think of the new CD?)

My Walk the Line thoughts:

I have to give special metion to Tyler Hilton's version of "That's All Right" since he is a musician in his own right, "Lewis Boogie" byWalyon Mally Payne and of course "Cocaine Blues" and "Jackson"

This coming from the girl who is not a big fan of country outside of Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood(both make my list as second team picks)

Can you tell I was born in 1961 ? I don't even listen to current musicians...sort of lost interest after Freddy Mercury died. Maybe I need to learn about Jazz, I'm certainly not going to listen to Rap.

 

[Peter Pirate 2]

Disneyfan63, thanks for the Hotel California contribution. I can't believe I forgot it and it truly is one of the greatest of all time.

 

[letterdavidman]

Ringleader of the Tormentors - Morrissey


Interesting. I love this, too (of course), but I'm more partial to You Are the Quarry.

And, if I ever get around to posting a thread dealing with favorite music DVDs/videos, Who Put the "M" In Manchester? is definitely in the top five!

 

[letterdavidman]

I can't believe that I forgot to put If I Should Fall from Grace with God by the Pogues. It's probably the most played cd I have.

I rank both that and Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash as two of the best albums I own... but they just fell short of the top ten.

Okay. I've gotta post a list of, like, the next twenty...
