Boy it's really hard to just pick out 5 songs....

Being a guitar player for a long time, I'll have to narrow it to songs that I like to listen to instead of the top 5 that I like to play.

1) Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen (As sung by Rufus Wainwright)

2) In a New York Minute by The Eagles

3) Redemption Song by Bob Marley

4) Fly Me to the Moon by Frank Sanatra

5) Silence by Harlow

Cool post!!! Seeya!!!!

Ye i found it quite hard myself to pick 5 although i think i picked some grteat songs their

btw good songs from you aswell

i can't pick cause the list changes.
the number one spot is always the same but the rest change. actually humber 1 is a toss up between the same two tunes

No chance to make any decision - music changes like life, so my fave tunes do so as well, but one of my all time favourites is def

Eagles - Hotel Califorinia

A s others have said, my favourites do tend to change with moods etc but probably:

5. White Man In Hammersmith Palais - The Clash.
4. Pounding - Doves.
3. Anarchy In The UK - The Sex Pistols.
2. I Am The Resurrection - The Stone Roses.
1. One Way - The Levellers.

Loads more could mention.

aic - nutshell
zep - over the hills
floyd - goodbye blue sky
skynyrd - sweet home alabama
1 left..i check,heh been playing poker

gonna go with free by pharoahe monch as number 5.filthy riffs with a beat that's just off..i can't stop hearing the beat,monstrous

what's with that beat.zep have it in 1 of their songs too.it stays the same but seems to slow down..think white stripes do it too..what is it,anyone know?

I have so many favorites, I can't really cram them down into 5, but I'll try....

1. The Crystal Ship - The Doors
I can't even explain what I feel about this song. Other than Morrison was an excellent song-writer and this was by far, hands down, his best song ever written. (Well I believe, anyway).

2. Melancholy Man - The Moody Blues
I heard this song for the first time last week on a road trip with my Dad, I loved it. And had to add it to my list.

3. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
The first minute or so, is such powerful guitar playing...even though its just accoustic its awesome.

4. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - Led Zeppelin
This song is like a crescendo...it starts out slow and steady and then it gets loud and out of control at the end - def. my favorite Zeppelin song.

5. Come Together - The Beatles
Who doesn't like this song? I like the version by Joe Cocker as well.

6. Brown Sugar - The Rolling Stones
It was either Brown Sugar, or Satisfaction... both are great songs.

** I know you said 5....but I had to squeeze in The Rolling Stones...**
