*bump* time for a new topic...Derwood?
|
Yeah, I guess so....
Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to monopolize the topic ideas |
how bout top 5 songs from a particular decade, or top 5 songs about death .....
oh how about top 5 worst songs ever made, just for a bit of a spin on things |
The first two are too broad. We can do the Worst songs one though. You start.
|
ok ummm
1 - mmm bop - hanson 2 - that bloody austrlian idol song - rise up 3 - 50c - in da club 4 - creed - with arms wide open 5 - any limp bizkit song i know there are a lot worse out there but because they are bad i try not to remember them |
Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart
Creed - Higher that "Roll Out" song Evanescence - Bring Me To Life Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes... this song deserves a one way ticket to hell for covering such an awesome tune by The Who |
hmmm...Just off the top of my head I'd have to go with:
Who let the dogs out Macarena Anything by Creed hanson - mmm bop Fountains of Wayne - Stacey's Mom |
- Macarena for sure
- Who let the dog's out - That fucking Lifehouse song they played the shit out of for a year. - "How you remind me" - Nickelback - The ENTIRE Good Charlotte catalog |
Quote:
Gotta agree there though. Definitly ranks up there in some of the shittiest music ever made. |
1)Creed - With Arms Wide Open
2)Moby & Gwen Stefani - South Side (Or which ever side, can't remember exactly) 3)Jane's Addiction - Been Caught Stealing (I love Jane's to death but this song is horribly annoying) 4)Sisqo - Thong Song 5)Crazy Town - Butterfly |
Top five worst songs?
1. Who Let the Dogs Out - Baha Men 2. That stupid "I'm Blue dabadee dabada" song by who knows 3. With Arms Wide Open - Creed 4. THat Kid Rock and Cheryl Crow collaberation. 5. Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous - Good Charlotte. |
The Top 5 Worst Songs Of All-Time?
Hell, I'll top that, how about the worst 20 albums of all-time. 1) Now That's What I Call Music 2) Now That's What I Call Music Vol. 2 3) Now That's What I Call Music Vol. 3 4) Now That's What I Call Music Vol. 4 5) Now That's What I .... You get the point. |

This is an awesome thread. Please indulge me while I catch up.
Worst Songs of all time: 1 Baha-men: Who Let The Dogs Out 2 Las Ketchup: Aseraje (The Ketchup Song, or The Merciless Butchery of Rapper's Delight in an act of cruelty unparallelled in Spanish since the Auto de Fe) 3 Los Del Rio: Macarena (not really their fault. It was the goddamn dance that did it.) 4 Aerosmith: Pink (worst poetry ever. "Pink as the sheets that we lay on/Pink is my favorite cray on.") 5 Limp Bizkit: Nookie (and the worst part of it is that it grows on one.) Songs with beverages in the title 1 Rev. Horton Heat - Martini Time 2 Traditional - Whisky in the Jar (Metallica version) 3 Reel Big Fish - Beer 4 Phish - Bathtub Gin 5 Blue Öyster Cult - Perfect Water Note that Phish has covered Gin & Juice, as has Widespread Panic, and bootlegs of it might appear on P2P networks,but by and large the one people get is the Gourds version. Live ALbums 1 Jethro Tull - Bursting Out Live 2 Blue Öyster Cult - Some Enchanted Evening 3 Frank Zappa - The Best Band You Never Heard 4 King Crimson - Unpronounceable (probably was a bootleg, so I may be the only one here who's heard of it) 5 Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner With Color in the title 1 King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King (it's just another word for red) 2 Steve Vai - Blue Powder 3 Moody Blues - Knights in White Satin 4 Jethro Tull - The Rainbow Blues 5 Fine Young Cannibals - Blue Ballads 1 Jethro Tull - Later that Same Evening 2 Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland 3 Traditional - Whiskey in the Jar 4 Blue Öyster Cult - Astronomy (or Black Blade) 5 King Crimson - The Night Watch Covers 1 The Gourds - Gin & Juice (Snoop Dogg) 2 Metallica - Whisky in the Jar (Thin Lizzy (Traditional)) 3 Megadeth - These Boots (Nancy Sinatra) 4 801 - Tomorrow Never Knows (Beatles) 5 Fine Young Cannibals - Suspicious Minds (Elvis) Track 1 1 Jethro Tull - Minstrel in the Gallery - Title cut 2 Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction - Welcome to the Jungle 3 Cake - Comfort Eagle - Opera Singer 4 Pink Floyd - The Wall - In the Flesh? 5 Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers - Knocking at your Back Door Derwood, here's some more ideas: Top 5- 1 Songs whose title does not occur in the refrain. 2 Songs performed by female lead singers 3 Most insulting songs 4 Songs with one word titles 5 Songs longer than 6½ minutes 6 Songs containing words that can't be played on the radio 7 Weird Al songs (or any other single artist) 8 Songs that Weird Al (or Richard Cheese, or Hayseed Dixie, or some parody band) should do 9 Cross Style Covers 10 Songs about Cats/Dogs/Politicians/Lawyers 11 Songs describing a sex/criminal act 12 Longest Song Titles 13 Upbeat songs about depressing things 14 Song or album titles that would be improved by replacing one of the words in the title with pants/sausage/penis 15 Songs that are spoken rather than sung (Other than Rap) 16 Songs that mention the Devil by name 17 Combustion related songs 18 Songs about celestial objects 19 Songs that mention specific weapons 20 Albums with the best covers |

As a self-proclaimed real phan, I will say with complete certainty, that Phish has never covered Gin and Juice.

<b>DERWOOD!</b> Oh great master of a most excellent thread! It is time for a new topic! (If you're up for it, I like "Songs that name a specific weapon") |
Alright, drawing a new topic from that greeat list of suggestions:
Top 5 Songs whose title does not appear in any of the lyrics |
hmmmmmm.... that's a tough one.
Took some thinking and I had to double check a few but I'm going to go with: Led Zeppelin - "Bron-y-Aur Stomp" Soundgarden - "Slaves & Bulldozers" The Tea Party - "A Certain Slant of Light" Tool - "Stinkfist" The Dandy Warhols - "The Creep Out" |
1) Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows

skycamefalling - the nothing
in reverent fear - bright eyes under blue night skies armsbendback - garry gilmore's eyes aphex twin - windowlicker chevelle - one lonely visitor |
I assume this doens't account for instrumentals...
1. Get Me Naked 2: Electric Boogaloo ~ Minus the Bear 2. Another Horsedreamers Blues ~ Counting Crows 3. Crosseyed & Painless ~ Talking Heads 4. Yellow LedBetter ~ Pearl Jam 5. Rhinoceros ~ Smashing Pumpkins |

1. Billy Joel - Summer, Highland Falls
2. Barenaked Ladies - Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank 3. James Gang - Funk #49 4. The Who - A Quick One, While He's Away 5. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody I'm sure this would be rejected on a technicality, but I'm also going to submit: The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again (they never actually say this phrase....they say "don't get fooled again," but never the actual title) |

Here's one... Top 5 Songs that Johnny Cash has covered that AREN't "Hurt" |
Toughie!
1) (Ghost Riders) In the Sky (Vaughn Monroe) 2) A Boy Named Sue (Shel Silverstein) 3) Daddy Sang Bass (Carl Perkins) 4) Ring of Fire (Ann Carter? Arguable, as it may have been June Carter, and, if a guy's wife writes a song for him to sing, is it really a cover? Stellar song anyway.) 5) Wanted Man (Bob Dylan) So I was looking around to remind myself which songs of his are actually covers, and I ran across this little gem in a different forum on a thread about Johnny's cover of Hurt: Quote:
|
Here's mine:
- Mercy Seat (Nick Cave) - Highway Patrolman (Bruce Springsteen) - One (U2) - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry (Hank Williams Sr.) - In My Life (Lennon/McCartney) |
Rusty Cage - Soundgarden

I can't think of enough 15+ minute songs for this week. |
OK, 15 minute+
0) Beethoven's 9th, by the Academy of Ancient Music at St. Martin in the Fields. 1) Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick (Whole LP) 2) Yes - Close to the Edge (18:50) 3) Jethro Tull - Baker St. Muse (16:23, I think) 4) Frank Zappa - The Torture Never Stops (17+ minutes on You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol 1) 5) Dweezil Zappa - My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama (17½ minutes on Automatic, I think.) Well that's 5 (plus a bit of the old Lugwig Van), but let me throw out a few more in case anyone wants to track them down and verify: The Allman Brothers: Mountain Jam is over 20 minutes long on Eat a Peach, and I'm sure there is at least one live version of another of their songs, probably Elizabeth Reed or Jessica, or Whippin Post, on one of the live Fillmore CDs. The Grateful Dead - Have put together some mind bendingly long jams in their time, and I'm sure at least one of the better ones - probably a "That's it for the Other One" or a "Terrapin Station" has made it onto a commercially available disc. Phish - I know I have heard them play a "Stash" that was over 20 minutes long, at Nissan Pavillion in the mid 90s. Arlo Guthrie - Isn't Alice's Restaurant over 15? |
You Enjoy Myself by Phish off of A Live One

New Topic?
Your Favorite 5 Song Titles You may hate the actual song, but if the title is cool, list it! |

2) They Might Be Giants - Youth Culture Killed My Dog 3) Frank Zappa - My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama 4) King Crimson - Lark's Tounges in Aspic 5) Led Zeppelin - What is and What Should Never Be They Might Be Giants would each be good for about another 10 and Zappa for as many as the day is long.

Counting Crows - Rain King (again, the author has slipped my mind, but the book is Henderson and the Rain King.) 5. Anthrax - Among the Living (Stephen King - The Stand) (Edited to replace Duran Duran with Anthrax) |
I've been giving this a fair bit of thought and I can't really think of that many, I may come back and edit this later though.

I can't think of anything for this one, so as the starter of this topic, I'll change the subject ;)
Top 5 great songs that are from otherwise crappy albums You know, those songs that you buy the whole album for and never listen to the rest (at least that's what you did before filesharing). Remember, the rest of the album has to suck! |

Can't.....let......topic.....die.....
Here's a 2 for 1! Top 5 Most Underrated Guitar Players AND Top 5 Most Overrated Guitar Players I'll post mine in a bit |
Wow, no bites? Well here are mine:
Most Underrated: - George Harrison - Prince - James Hetfield - James "Horton" Heath - David Gilmour Most Overrated: - Steve Vai - Joe Satriani - Yngwie Malmsteen - Keith Richards - Ace Frehley |
wow, no love for my thread anymore.
*sob* |
underrated:
alan holdsworth paul leary duane denison robert fripp john fahey overrated: buckethead jimmy page frank zappa (as a guitar player) Yngwie Malmsteen slash |
OK,
Underrated (I was thinking about this one): 1. Marc Ribot (Lead on Tom Wait's albums - check Swordfishtrombones and Rain Dogs.) 2. Walter Becker (The opening solo on Don't Take Me Alive is one of the best ever.) 3. Robert Fripp 4. Alex Lifeson (suffers by comparison to his bandmates) 5. Pete Townsend (best Rhythm guitarist ever) Overrated 1. Eddie Van Halen 2. Joe Satriani (Still love his music, though) 3. Angus Young (Rated accurately as a character, overrated as a guitarist) 4. Alex Lifeson (The rest of his band elevates him. Yep - he's on both lists.) 5. Jimmy Page and Keith Richards. Just Right 1. Zappa 2. Clapton 3. Vai 4. Malmsteen 5. SRV |
