Could you list your 10 favourite songs of all time?

[tooninoz]

This was on another site a few months ago. Did my head in too as I'm 40 and I've had a passion for music since I were young..... I use to see bands 3-4 nights a week when I was in Sydney, especially through the late 80s and early 90s. That's where a lot of my favourites are from. I couldnt do just 10...it ran over a bit. There's a few others that missed out by a milimetre too, but here goes. Ive added a Youtube clip where possible;

1. [video=youtube;d7R7q1lSZfs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7R7q1lSZfs[/video] (didnt know what it was about at the time!!)
​

2. [video=youtube;dhS7jNaUWoE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhS7jNaUWoE[/video]

3. [video=youtube;sfRheSlOvUs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfRheSlOvUs[/video]

4. [video=youtube;SGJFWirQ3ks]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGJFWirQ3ks[/video] (the most influential band along with Minor Threat for me)
​

5. [video=youtube;O4ynhfgYRjY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4ynhfgYRjY[/video] (originally done by Stiff Little Fingers, and I prefer the original, but the sound is terrible on YouTube!)
​

6. [video=youtube;DrBLqp-s__o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrBLqp-s__o[/video]

7. [video=youtube;gX8l9hAK8Rc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX8l9hAK8Rc[/video]

8. [video=youtube;bpTKum8mIvk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpTKum8mIvk[/video] (still love ol' misery guts!)
​

9. [video=youtube;iaOzbsv2ZB0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaOzbsv2ZB0[/video] (one of the first songs that got me into punk in
1980)
​

10. [video=youtube;nxHcx7FO8nI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxHcx7FO8nI[/video]

11. The Melvins - June Bug

12. [video=youtube;hoY1U9U_QSo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoY1U9U_QSo[/video]

13. [video=youtube;xZqBBF5OBAs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZqBBF5OBAs&feature=related[/video] One for my beloved Newcastle. Of course.
​

So many just missed out from Australian bands like The Saints, Meanies, Midnight Oil (pre '85) Tumbleweed, Screamfeeder to OS bands like Suicidals, GBH, Circle Jerks, Ramones.... and I could make a top 20 of Neil Diamond and Johnny Cash alone!

Can you list a definitive top 10 (or 13)?

:lol:​

 

[Bax155]

Answer to your question, no I couldnt name a definitive top 10 mate..

thats just too hard, it would take me weeks to decide. i too spent my youth in Sydney in the 80's and 90's, 3 or 4 times a week watching live bands like Hoodoo Gurus,the Stems,Husker Du,Sunnyboys,RatCat,You Am I,the Lemonheads,NOFx the Church,Fuzztones,the Jam,Echo and the Bunnymen, the Cynics,Smudge,Dead Kennedy's,Flamin Groovies,the Saints,Hitmen, Screaming Tribesmen, Headstones,the Cure,Joy Division, Triffids,Celibate Rifles,Happy Hate Me Nots,Sick Rose,Frenzal Rhomb,Hummingbirds,Bad Religion,UB40,Lime Spiders,Everclear,Dead Kennedys,Ben Folds Five,Hard Ons,Smudge,U2,Eastern Dark,Someloves,Foo Fighters,the Saints, Dinosaur Jr,REM,Ben Lee,the Plunderers,Lime Spiders and the Trilobites,
ive seen all these bands(and more) live and would pick at least one song from all of them

There's a few on that list that would narrowly miss out too... S Tribesman, Husker Du, Hard Ons... definitely a golden age for independent music....cheers Bongie

Cutting the ___________________________________________________list ____short

 

[lizardboyyy]

your last one is the best there matt

 

[cris]

Simple answer is no, other answer is CBF and couldnt link anything because it would likely be against site rules or not popular enough to have video clips. Also the best 10 songs of all time are likely to be created in the future, good music evolves and can be freely modified while being played.

 

[Mr feegle]

1 john williamson- raining on the rock
2 NIN- happyness in slavery
3 jeff buckley-grace
4 Creedence Clearwater Revival-Fortunate Son
5 311-Beautiful Disaster
6 gomez-In Our Gun
7 faith no more easy/ faith no more-strip search
8 Johann Sebastian Bach-Toccata and Fugue in D minor
9 Sublime-Same in the End
10 Michael Franti- what i be/.jack johnson-Rodeo Clowns/ G love-Peace, Love, and Happiness
Thats the hardest thing ive ever do i missed so much from the 60s and 70s but my mix top ten

 

[cris]

I thought of one song that i like that is PC, the armadillo song (i really just like the clip, the music is pretty lame IMO)
