Guns & Roses - November Rain (also my fave song ever)
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (just incredible)
Queensryche - Silent Lucidity

coke babies · 08-30-2003, 06:54 PM

Skid Row - I Remember You

One of my favorite songs ever, and not in any sort of ironic way. Sebastian Bach has an amazing voice.

K-Wise · 08-30-2003, 07:42 PM

Yup. Doin broadway now(Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde). Ya know he was in an all boys choir when he was in school? Not just that he sang saprano. Crazy shit dude really does have an amazing voice.

Asta!!

extreme - more than words
moody blues - nights in white satin

K-Wise · 09-02-2003, 09:33 PM

Ya know shred I was waiting for somebody to mention some of those songs. I had them in mind when I made the post. I left em out purposely so someone else could pick them. Mr. Big were great. Props for finally bringing them up. Some other groups/songs I thought would be mentioned by now...

Firehouse - Love Of A Lifetime
Nazareth - Love Hurts (C'mon people!)
Van Halen - Don't Tell Me What Love Can Do
Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face
Cars - Tonight (sleepin buddies)
Styx - Babe

Silverchair - My Favorite Thing (Really beautiful song please check it out)
Counting Crows - Anna Begins
The Verve Pipe - She Has Faces
Travis - Luv
Bush - Letting The Cables Sleep
The Cranberries - When Your Gone
Kiss - Beth
Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is
Evanescence - My Immortal

Who the fuck sang "Ah ha(This Much Is True)???? It's driving me fucking nuts right now. I just checked the wedding singer soundtrack and it's not on there what kinda fuckin bullshit is that Gary fuckin sang the song on stage at the end of the movie how the hell could it not be on the damn soundtrack? Not to mention my mom pawned the DVD and gave the VHS to my sister because we had the DVD...utter bullshit I tells ya!! Oh well.

Asta!!
