i think you like David Bowie

lol I know right? It seems like every post I've made on these boards has been Bowie related.

Radiohead

1) Idioteque
2) Pyramid Song
3) Airbag
4) Motion Picture Soundtrack
5) Street Spirit (Fade Out)
6) Myxomatosis (Judge, Jury, & Executioner)
7) Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
8) The National Anthem
9) A Wolf At The Door (It Girl. Rag Doll)
10) Creep

Nice Radiohead list. I'd probably cut "Creep" off the bottom, put "How to Disappear Completely" on top, and maybe replace your #7 with "Reckoner". #3 is debatable, but hell, with so many riches...

national anthem! 2+2=5! honestly, it doesn't matter which songs i like more, because all of the songs you listed are still awesome. now that you mention radiohead i can't help but feel overwhelmingly excited about seeing them live again this year. now if only they would reveal the rest of those tour dates...grrr.

It's nice to see "Pyramid Song" at the top and I'm diggin the love for Hail to the Thief and The Bends. Actually what the hell, might as well get it out of the way:

1. Let Down / OK Computer
2. Idioteque / Kid A
3. Pyramid Song / Amnesiac
4. Where I End and You Begin (The Sky Is Falling In) / Hail to the Thief
5. Street Spirit (Fade Out) / The Bends
6. Paranoid Android / OK Computer
7. Backdrifts (Honeymoon Is Over) / Hail to the Thief
8. I Might Be Wrong / Amnesiac
9. Reckoner / Rainbow love fest
10. How To Disappear Completely / Kid A

I could re-work that forever but the top 3 are pretty much locks.

5. One Beat
6.Youth Decay
7. all hands on the bad one
8. I'm not waiting
9.Little Mouth

that was tough... tried to fit a song from every album and still off some gems

Soundgarden

1.Jesus Christ Pose
2.Burden in My Hand
3.Outshined
4.Gun
5.Fell On Black Days
6.Hands All Over
7.Blow Up the Outside World
8.Rusty Cage
9.Black Hole Sun
10.Slaves and Bulldozers
11.My Wave
12.Pretty Noose
13.The Day I Tried to Live
14.Power Trip
15.Spoonman
16.Ugly Truth
17.Loud Love
18.Nothing to Say
19.Get On the Snake
20.Big Dumb Sex

I realize my list is "Loud Love" heavy, especially at the end, but I feel that it has the most quality songs on it. "Badmotorfinger," "Superunknown," and "Down on the Upside" have the best songs but "Loud Love" has the most good ones.

Whether you agree with the above sentences or not, Soundgarden was an amazing band. They pushed alternative rock/grunge whatever you want to call it to higher levels than any of their contemporaries through godly vocals, great hooks, metallic speed, and piercing guitars.

quote:

1.Jesus Christ Pose
2.Burden in My Hand

Man, "Jesus Christ Pose" is such an awesome song. Great song: I love it! Also I've always thought "Burden In My Hand" was a fine track too, and probably unfairly overlooked by a lot of Soundgarden fans.

My top 20 Neil Young songs (only songs recorded by Neil solo or Neil and Crazy Horse, by the way). These are from the nine of his albums I own. I was going to order them, but I had about half of them that were on a short list for #1.

Losing End
Tell Me Why
Southern Man
I Believe in You
Cortez The Killer
Danger Bird
Out on the Weekend
Alabama
Words (Between the Lines of Age)

Roll Another Number (For the Road)
