Ultimate Album Side

[VenomGA]

I was thinking of an idea last night that a local radio station (96 Rock) in Atlanta used to do in the late 70's and 80's and it's called Ultimate Album Side. Basically, you pick your favorite 6 songs that you would love to hear on an album side (I Know this is the cd age, but play along). Today you can pick your 6 favorite songs period. In the future, I will give you genres to choose your favorite 6 songs from.

 

[VenomGA]

1. Ozzy Osbourne-Crazy Train
2. Whitesnake-Still of the Night
3. Scorpions-No One Like You
4. Journey-Separate Ways(Worlds Apart)
5. Dream Theater-Pull Me Under
6. Night Ranger-Don't Tell Me You Love Me

Must we only pick stuff from the 70's and 80's? And are those really your top 6 favourite songs of all time?

 

[Ascension]

If you'll look...Pull Me Under is from the 90's.

Pick your top 6 songs of all time...Future threads will be more specific in nature.

This is very hard for me to do considering this isn't broken up in any way. My favorite songs are:

1. Southern Cross - Crosby, Stills, and Nash
2. Africa - Toto
3. Chapter VI from APSOG - Fates Warning
4. I Don't Believe In Love - Queensryche
5. Be Good To Yourself - Journey
6. Still of the Night - Whitesnake

Those songs above are songs that I've grown up,with the exception of the Fates Warning song, and I'll never grow tired of.

Good to see someone still remembers Garfield. I can't help but hear Joe Anthony's voice whenever I hear that song.

thanks dude.

 

[BlackRoseMetalHeart]

1 - Invisible - Dio
2 - I Rule the Ruins - Warlock
3 - Don't Say a Word - Sonata Arctica
4 - The Needle Lies - Queensryche
5 - That's What the Wise Lady Said - Angtoria
6 - Jungleland - Bruce Springsteen

This was really hard for me. It's even harder when I don't have a point of reference for myself (track listing on my laptop, CD collection, etc.) because I'm at work. Even still, I could probably make a dozen of these album sides and never be completely happy because I like so much music. Fun exercise! I'm looking forward to some of these more targeted album side exercises.

Atomic Punk-Van Halen
Black Diamond-KISS
Blue Oyster Cult-Hot Rails to Hell
