Agreed. I haven't posted on this top five because I really try to forget about any songs I really hate. But the ONLY song I could think of when I saw the topic was Butterfly.

Hey TopHat - great catching up, love your picks!

Are you sure about that? When I was looking into it I ran across a phish FAQ that said they had never done a cover of it. I know they've done covers of Gettin Jiggy wit it' and others, but the FAQ said no Gin & Juice.

Awsome choice there. I was lucky enough to see that song live when he came through town last year. Great stuff.

Also some great ideas for new topics.

Not 100% sure. I had thought that I had heard that from a real Phishhead, though. I'll ask her to confirm and let me know which show(s), and then I'll see what I can do about cross referencing with a couple of former tapers I know.

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

Oof. Now I see what I said wrong. If you read "a real Phishhead" to mean, "As opposed to you", I am very sorry. I meant it as opposed to me. I know one of the Phunky bitches fairly well, and I was going to ask her.

However, if you are way up on it, then let's assume I was wrong for now. My mistake. Sorry.

No no no. I wasn't taking offense to it or anything. I was just chiming in with what it is. I wasn't trying to be a dick or anything about that and I hope there's no hard feelings.

None taken, none given. You're a bit of alright!


<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
2) Bob Dylan - Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
2) Rush - Vital Signs
3) Van Halen - 5150
4) Tool - Aenima (or Schism)

Pearl Jam - Corduroy
Pavement - Newark Wilder
Super Furry Animals - The International Language Of Screaming
Flaming Lips - Fight Test
Queens of The Stone Age - The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret

Butthole Surfers - Pepper
Pearl Jam - Indifference
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Mellowship Slinky In B Major
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Audioslave - Cochise

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

stone temple pilots - big empty
stone temple pilots - interstate love song
pearl jam - yellow ledbetter
metallica - disposable heroes
system of a down - suite-pee

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)

Wow! Those are excellent. While my list is already made, let me toss out Talking Heads - Life During Wartime for consideration as well. It would probably replace the Dylan tune in my list.

1- Aftermath (Strapping Young Lad)
2- Plush (Stone Temple Pilots)
3- Mia (Chevelle)
4- Terminator Jr. (Sonic Youth)
5- Doin' Time (Sublime)

All Medicated Geniuses-Pretty Girls Make Graves

just from my favorite band...

glassjaw - tip your bartender

glassjaw - the snow veil

(not a hard category, heh)

Rye Coalition "Fucking With Beautiful Posture"
Songs: Ohia "Steve Albini's Blues"
the Locust "File Under Soft Core Seizures"
Thunderbirds Are Now "Pink Motorcycle Helmet"
Against Me "You Look Like I Need A Drink"

Whenever we get bumped down to the 2nd page, it's time for a new topic.

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:

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
Rowboat - Beck
Ghost Riders In The Sky - Vaughn Monroe
I Hung My Head - Sting
Won't Back Down - Tom Petty

That looks about right, and it's the only time you'll see Sting in one my lists outside of The Police.

Ghost Riders In The Sky - Vaughn Monroe
Bridge over Troubled Waters - Simon and Garfunkel
I Hung My Head - Sting
A Boy Named Sue - Shel Silverstein
Desperado - The Eagles

Ghost Riders In The Sky - Vaughn Monroe
One - U2
Rusty Cage - Soundgarden
Won't Back Down - Tom Petty
In My Life - Lennon/McCartney

Ooh, I'm liking this thread.

Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode
One - U2
In My Life - Beatles
A Boy Named Sue - Shel Silverstein (learned something new)
I Won't Back Down - Tom Petty

Time for the new topic:

Top 5 Song that are Over 15 Minutes Long

top 1's
 

GNR - Jungle
Archers of Loaf - web in front
rancid - indestructable
radiohead - airbag
replacements - talent show


cool question:p

1.) Pharcyde: Passing me by
2.) Kruder & Dorfmeister: Earl Grey
3.) Michael Jackson: Rock wit' you
4.) Kaycee: Escape 2000 (DJ Icey remix)
5.) Credence Clearwater Revival: Have you ever seen the rain

Which topic were the last 2 posters responding to? None of those songs are over 15 minutes long!

Hrm....

Rush - 2112
Godspeed You Black Emperor - Rockets Fall On Rocket Falls
Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons
Uhhhhh.....
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (1-5) is like 13 mins.
Rush - La Villa Strangiato is like 11 mins.

I give up.

Doesn't have to be just rock music you know! No one likes classical?

I think they were responding to the thread's very first question.

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 (17&frac12; 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
Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd
Motherfucker = Redeemer by Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Close to the Edge by Yes
Help on the Way>SlipKnot>Franklin's Tower by Grateful Dead

- Atom Heart Mother Suite - Pink Floyd
- Echoes - Pink Floyd
- Dogs - Pink Floyd
- Disc 1, Track 2 - GSYBE (Lift your Tiny Fists....)
- Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 1-9 - Pink Floyd (Ok, I cheated a little there).

The Decline - NoFX
Echoes - Pink Floyd
Close To The Edge - Yes
Tuesday Night In Berlin - Red Hot Chili Peppers (Okay so it's 14:22, i'm cheating a little here)
Three Days - Jane's Addiction (Cheating a lot here because it's only 10:47)
