Ten Favorite Songs - can you do it?

[Dick Sirloin]

Yeah, another pointless "top 10" thread, but I'm bored, home from college, and just ate a brownie. So I'm going to attempt the impossible.

"Supper's Ready" - GENESIS
"Three Days" - JANE'S ADDICTION
"Storm" - GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR!
"The Chaos Path" - ARCTURUS
"The Gates of Delerium" - YES
"Solsbury Hill" - PETER GABRIEL
"Stairway to Heaven" - LED ZEPPELIN
"Rhinoceros" - SMASHING PUMPKINS
"Black Winter Day" - AMORPHIS
"Dear Prudence" - THE BEATLES



I so goddamn left some obvious stuff out. Fuck, why did I even make this thread? And I'm already thinking I should have included TYPE O NEGATIVE's cover of "Paranoid". Fuck.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Was it a magic brownie?

Type O Negative - Summer Breeze

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Was it a magic brownie?

If it had been, you would have seen a lot more prog rock on the list.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

I already edited my list... shhh!

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I can even name my favorite 10 Iron Maiden songs, so this would be a fruitless exhibition on my part.

edit: ooops, that should've read "can't even"

 

[Erik]

1. Burzum "Det Som Engang Var"
2. Bathory "A Fine Day to Die"

after that... who knows

[Conspicuously Absent]

[J.]

dunno, but chances are they'd be all metal, and not include any Burzum.

Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name

Helloween - Future World

LOL - I've been listening to that album again recently, 'cos I've got to review Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part III (not bad, but not a patch on the first). I love the lyrical references to Peanuts characters in one of the tracks...

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

"If you're out there all alone
And you don't know where to turn to
Come take a trip with me
To future world.
And if you're running through your life
And you don't know what the sense is
Come look how it could be
In future world."



Absolutely my favorite Helloween song of all time, dating all the way back to 1987 or 1988 or so.

 

[dill_the_devil]

LOL - I was three in '87. That album was one of my dad's CDs that got me into metal, along with M.O.D - Gross Misconduct, a Marquee Metal compilation that introduced me to Faith No More, and a Best Of Black Sabbath comp.

 

[Dark One]

It's a great song, no doubt, but I think I actually think I like "Twilight of the Gods", "Eagle Fly Free", "Mankind" and "The Chance" better. "A Little Time" has an incredible Maiden vibe going on as well.
