July 1, 200719 yr Josh Ritter, Wings; Roll on. Refreshments, Mekong, Nada, Sin Nombre. Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers, Green & Dumb; Jack vs Jose; Loco to Stay Sane; Leave an Open Door. Collective Soul, Shine; Gel...... You managed to include bands named Deadeye Dick, Golden Earing, Flogging Molly and Screeching Weasel, but no U2 to be found? For shame...
July 1, 200719 yr You managed to include bands named Deadeye Dick, Golden Earing, Flogging Molly and Screeching Weasel, but no U2 to be found? For shame...U2's entire body of work (no matter how vast) is in my opinion inferior to 3 of those 4 bands, and Golden Earing was put on this Earth for the singular purpose of providing the song Radar Love for the world... Twilight Zone is an entertaining bonus. Seriously, have you heard those bands? Deadeye Dick's Different Story is an EXCELLENT album... I really should have just added the whole thing. Flogging Molly is an Irish punk revelation. Screeching Weasel has a funny name but I have never met a serious punk fan that didn't consider them to be one of the greatest sounds of the genre. Their compilation 'Kill the Musicians' is just special.
July 1, 200719 yr Another left off the list: CCR, Bad Moon Risin'; Heard it Thru the Grapevine; Have You Ever Seen the Rain; Someday Never Comes
July 1, 200719 yr You managed to include bands named Deadeye Dick, Golden Earing, Flogging Molly and Screeching Weasel, but no U2 to be found? For shame... There is no shame to be found in a man's taste in music who likes The Refreshments and Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. While I personally find it hard not to mention U2, I still would never doubt the taste of 02ram.
July 1, 200719 yr First ones that came to mind. Yesterday The Beatles Layla Eric Clapton Respect Aretha Franklin Johnny B Good Chuck Berry Yes, I'm old.
July 1, 200719 yr Best piece of music, the Sheherazade suite by Rimsky-Korsakov. I guess a "song" has lyrics, though. I'll have to chew on that one.

As far as classical music goes, I'm a huge fan of Nobuo Uematsu. He's the guy that does the music for the Final Fantasy videogame series, which may not be legendary on a musical scale, but the orchestral pieces from certain games are some of the most beautiful and inspiring works I've ever heard. Specifically the orchestral music from the original Final Fantasy, and all the music from Final Fantasy VI, which is regarded by many to be the best music in videogame history (insert "I prefer the beeps from Pong" jokes here).
July 1, 200719 yr Author I guess I should have been more specific. The songs I listed were just a few that I thought were list worthy. I know it's difficult to narrow just one song down because people have their favorites but maybe the best song that has all the tools. (Vocals, sound, lyrics, etc.)
July 2, 200719 yr Bob Dylan-Like a Rolling Stone REM-Losing My Religion 02, great call on Druken Lullabies. One of my favorite albums I own...:thumb:
