Fave Five Music Tracks

[Caplan]

RULES - List just FIVE tracks that you could say are the personal ones you enjoy the most - Doesn't matter why but 5 tracks that move you

Here's mine

1. 'Love will tear us apart' - Joy Division
2. 'Stay Free' - The Clash
3. 'Al Naafiysh (The soul)' - Hashim
4. 'Morning Theft' - Jeff Buckley
5. 'Heroes' - David Bowie

Bands/Artists that just missed the cut for me - Django Reinhardt, The Wedding Present, Prince Buster, New Order, The Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop Solo, The Stooges, Led Zepplin, Bob Marley, The Stone Roses, The Pixies, Dinosaur Jnr, George Thorogood.

I know we have wide musical tastes here. Indulge...(but just 5 Tracks - ignore my missed selection!).....

 

[dancingbarefoot]

Very hard to narrow it down, but here's what I came up with:

1. We're in This Together Now - Nine Inch Nails
2. Räven (The Fox) - Hedningarna (The Heathens)
3. I Miss You - Björk
4. Schism - Tool
5. With or Without You - U2

(I was tempted to list my favorite Swedish song, Varför är det så skönt att knulla bakifrån?, but the translation of that title might get me reprimanded by the mods. )

 

[2nd Street Brewery]

This was a tuff one. So may songs through the years that made an impression but here goes, in no particular order.

Smoke on the water--Deep Purple
Behind Blue Eyes--The Who
Never Been any Reason--Head East
Don't Fear the Reaper--Blue Oyster Cult
Xanadu--Rush

 

[El Pistolero]

We should get one list per day, but off the top of my head:

Graceland - Paul Simon
Me Gustas Tu - Manu Chao
Shine on You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd
Man of Constant Sorrow - Allison Krause & Union Station
A New Way to Say 'Hooray' - Shpongle

 

[Catfish]

I'm certain 15-20 more will pop into my head in minute, currently:

In the Colosseum- Tom Waits
Buena- Morphine
Cowboy Love- The Reverend Horton Heat
Hungover Together- The Super Suckers
I'm Destructive- Dr. Octogon

Many more.

Edit: Girl You Have No Faith in Medicine- The White Stripes was upset by Dr. Octogon.. many are.

 

[Walker]

[Baron von BeeGee]

Me Gustas Tu - Manu Chao

Never had you figured for Manu Chao! (I like him, too, but my wife who actually speaks Spanish hates him)

This task is way too complicated for me, but for today it would be...
Jessica - The Allman Bros.
Always on my Mind - Willie Nelson
Dreams - The Cranberries
Piano Concerto #5 'Emperor' - Beethoven (I count the whole thing as one track)
Como Un Dolor De Muelas - Joaquin Sabina

 

[AllHoppedUp]

Top 5 but not in any particular order:

1. Bring It On Home - Led Zeppelin
2. Althea - Grateful Dead
3. Recently - Dave Matthews Band
4. Marty - Rusted Root
5. Put Your Pipe Down Baby - Calobo


Basically, 1 - 3 are my top 3 bands and my favorite song from each changes periodically. #4 & #5 are just a couple other tracks that are makin' me feel good for now.

AHU

 

[loopmd]

1. For those about to rock, we salute you. AC/DC
2. You shook me all night long. AC/DC
3. Should I stay or should I go. The Clash
4. Eruption Van Halen
5. Wango Tango Ted Nugent


Depends on the mood I'm in, but these 5 get the juices flowing.

[El Pistolero]

Never had you figured for Manu Chao! (I like him, too, but my wife who actually speaks Spanish hates him)

That's OK, I never had you figured for Ludwig Von.

As to Manu Chao tho...Cheesefood turned me on back when I first got on this board, and I haven't been able to quit listening since.

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

That's OK, I never had you figured for Ludwig Von.

My mother made me take piano lessons when my father wasn't making me work at the family sawmill...I was conflicted. Neither one really worked out as I waste my life in front of a computer without a lick of musical ability.

 

[Caplan]

My mother made me take piano lessons when my father wasn't making me work at the family sawmill...

I would think most aspiring pianists would go pale at the thought of working at a sawmill!

 

[sudsmonkey]

Maybe.....

Baba O'Reilley- The Who
Symptom of the Universe- Black Sabbath
Burnin' and Lootin'- Bob Marley
Jailbreak- Thin Lizzy

i can just see Cliff Burton fading through the clouds as that solo breaks out in the middle of the song......gives me goosebumbs......

[DeRoux's Broux]

hhmmm? i guess i should have consulted you 1st HB 99 my internet translation was supposed to be ass kicking dunkelweizen

 

[Caplan]

#5.5 - Lonesome, On'ry and Mean - the late, great Waylon Jennings

Track 5.5 isn't really allowed! But as one of my favorite musicians (Joe Strummer) rated Waylon i'll let it slide. Just don't let anyone else know i said so....

DAMN only 5?

It's tougher that way - makes you really think about the music that really matters to you personally don't you think?

i beat your the hard-ass at work, hu?

I understood that. However, an esel (pronounced A-sell) is a donkey. "Arsch" (or "arse" as the Brits say) is what you meant. I know where you're going, but many words don't translate (directly) well.

For adjectives like "great" (one would never say "gross" except in cases like Karl der Grosse (Charles the Great) or as we refer to him most of the time in the French as "Charlemagne") or "Super", which works well as "Super", but for something really good (ass-kicking) one would use "toll" (pronouced like you have to pay it on the highway). Es ist toll (it is great), or Ganz Toll (entirely great)!

So "Eine (Ganz) Toll Dunkelwiezen" is not out of the realm of reality. You can also say "Eine (a) Spitze (spit-za) Dunkelweizen", which would be more proper.

Zum Wohl (to your health)!

I dreamt up my list whilst 'busy at work' - I guess not!
