I know, I know, but it's been a good while since we've had one of these. Feel free to post your top 5 (or 10). Here be mine:
1) Starless, by King Crimson
2) Zen Archer, by Todd Rundgren
3) Rain, by Yoko Kanno
4) Chalkhills and Children, by XTC
5) Lookin' for Another Pure Love, by Stevie Wonder
I'll post 6-10 later. Gotta give those some thought.

Well...my introduction to Firebird was via Firebird/Siberian Khatru, but we found once the other members of the wedding party processed to the slower part of the fanare, that my entrance to the ending worked very well.Relayer wrote:But not Firebird/Siberian Khatru?

...and the rabbi probably would not have liked trying to talk over Siberian Khatru...

I knew I forgot something. Hyperception will kill me, as this is our song...

1. Pink Floyd: Cymbaline (live version)
2. Dave Brubeck: Take Five (squeezing with some difficulty into the "song" category)
3. Howlin' Wolf: Sitting on Top of the World
4. Doors: The End
5. Ray Charles: Georgia on My Mind
But we could play this every single day, my list would be different.

I find it absolutely fascinating that Guns and I are within a few months of each other age-wise, and not a single one of his songs would scrape my top 100 list, let alone my top 10.

It is an oddity. I'd put a few Floyd & Zep Songs in my top 100 and some solo Waters, too... but my faves tend to gravitate towards Dylan and the Beatles branches in the Rock n' Roll family tree, whereas yours seem to come from a harder, darker limb!Cail wrote:I find it absolutely fascinating that Guns and I are within a few months of each other age-wise, and not a single one of his songs would scrape my top 100 list, let alone my top 10.
