Your 10 songs...

[OuchThatHurts]

Okay, it doesn't really have to be 10 but list 5-10 songs (or albums) that have had a major impact on your life or resonate with you in a very deep way. I'm not talking about the latest growling metal band who's name you won't know in 3 years but the music that year after year, still holds a special place with you.

These don't have to be your favorite songs at the moment or maybe ever but left an impression on you.

For instance, here are 10 of mine in no particular order:

1. Mercy Street - Peter Gabriel
2. Thirty Three - Smashing Pumpkins
3. Pictures of You - The Cure
4. Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead
5. Simon and Garfunkel - The Boxer
6. Don't Think Twice It's Alright - Bobby Dylan
7. Fly From Heaven - Toad The Wet Sprocket
8. Run - Snow Patrol
9. Angels or Devils - Dishwalla
10. The Boy With The Thorn In His Side - The Smiths

They don't have to be workout songs but surely can be. Can be anything. And it doesn't have anything to do with being cool and trying to impress - hell, I almost added Kenny Rogers' Coward of the County! Beat that! But I remember singing along to that song with my parents when we were on roadtrips when I was a boy.

You can't think of one or two songs that hit you in the chest and maybe for some reason you know or some reason you don't - doesn't matter.

We all got that soft, chewy middle. For example if someone said that a song that really touched their soul was Devil's Island by Megadeth it would say something different about that person than if they said Abba's Dancing Queen.

There's no quiz later. You're not getting graded on this. Humor the old man.

A lot of these songs could easily be on my list. I totally dig that a few people brought up The Verve. That Urban Hymns album was really good. Actually I can always listen to Verve... and Radiohead. Especially The Bends

2. Faithless - social d
3. Footprints on my ceiling - social d (again)

Certain songs when I hear them on the radio generate distinct memories... happy or sad, here are some that come to mind.

YouTube - The Fray - Never Say Never

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LuGzwNy2ws&feature=av2n

Sarah McLachlan- Angel

YouTube - The Beatles - Blackbird


YouTube - The Beatles - Blackbird


YouTube - Billy Joel: Piano Man


YouTube - Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (Long version!)


I could really just put the whole Texas Flood album on here... the songs kill me every time.

 

[K1]

One that comes to mind: Metallica - Four Horsemen!!

I listen to a lot of Oi, Old School Hardcore, some punk rock...Hard, fast, angry music!!

I like any song that you can drink, fight or fuck to

 

[triathloncoach]

A few

I went the album route. The compilation of a single theme.


The Wall
Wish you were here
Avalon
Mr B's Ninth Symphony
Tunnel of Love
Just about anything by Paul Simon (a good day, ain't got no rain. A bad day is when I lie in bed and think of things that might have been)

And of course the wiggles. Because my kids would just sit there and watch. And I could chill.

 

[Acadian]

Songs: The Light-Common
Sadeness-Enigma
Theme from Harry's Game-Clannad
The Ghetto-Eric B. & Rakim
Wonderwall-Oasis
Anything from the Belly Album-Portishead

How's that for diversity..

 

[OuchThatHurts]

Pink Floyd's The Wall and Wish You Were Here... also Dark Side of the Moon

Forgot about those!

album: Iron Maiden Piece of Mind

 

[OuchThatHurts]

One that comes to mind: Metallica - Four Horsemen!!

Old school! Nice!

Seek and Destroy
No Remorse
Motorbreath (Don't stop for nothing, it's full speed or nothing!"

 

[thebrick]

and...

My list has also evolved as my life has unfolded. Songs that spoke to me so deeply, seem sorta meaningless and hollow these days.

Example; during a major rough spot in my life and I was feeling down years ago, I would listen The Cure's "Disintegration", or anything Brian Ferry, especially "Mamouna", Morphine's "Cure for Pain" was awesome... now I don't play them. But I still have those old CDs in my "don't pitch" collection. I guess because it speaks about a chapter in my life story.

pink floyd-the final cut, love this album over all pf
