Certified Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Let's see, currently listening to the Siouxsie and the Banshees' cover of the Passenger, always a good song. Not sure if that's in my top three, but it's a good song. At the moment, I'm going to go with: This Corrosion - Sisters of Mercy Runs in the Family - Amanda Palmer Infra-Red - Placebo She's In Parties - Bauhaus Yeah, that's four songs not three, and they are in the order I found them on my current playlist. Five if you count the Passenger, but I might go with Spellbound or This Wheel's On Fire over that. Orgy's Fiction almost made the list as well. That was a tough one not to include. Another tough cut was Find You Gone by Wolfsheim. There's also a fair amount of Rasputina on this playlist I really like, that I cut out, if for the history lesson alone, I'll point you at 1816, the Year Without A Summer. Off this playlist there's probably some Iron Maiden and Velvet Underground that needs to be represented. In short, three songs is not enough.

death tribble Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Three ? In the words of Thor, 'Bazza, we will have words with thee' Two are easy Hymn by Ultravox and Mad World by Tears for Fears because they are the reason I am still here. And for today Blue Monday by New Order as I would always get up to dance to it. Sundog and Certified 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 The third is subject to change from time to time, but the second is pretty solid and the first is practically chiseled in stone. 3. Vancouver by Reckless Kelly 2. The Road Goes On by Toto 1. Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted February 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Note: this is favourite songs, not “all time favourites that are chiseled in stone”. Think of it as “really like this song because it speaks to me”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rravenwood Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Only three? Well, that will always depend on my mood, but here are three which come to mind now: "La Villa Strangiato" - Rush "Don Quixote" - Gordon Lightfoot "The Boxer" - Simon & Garfunkel On another day it might be songs by Soundgarden, Dave Brubeck, and Elton John. Or Patsy Cline, Blue Öyster Cult, and Steely Dan. Or... or... or... Cygnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 So, favorites right now? Fair enough.

Cancer Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Crossing the Line, from GO (usually filed under Stomu Yamashta, though) I prefer the studio album version (here); the guitar solo starting about 1:30 in is Pat Thrall. Cross-Tie Walker, from Creedence Clearwater Revival Time is Tight, by Booker T and the MGs. All these are great life-transition songs, though I suspect that last one means that only to me, because of personal circumstances when I first heard it relatively frequently.

unclevlad Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Live versions Black by Pearl Jam...the 2012 live recording. Reportedly the first time Vedder invited the audience to join in on the last verse...and they do a killer job. Love the song generally; particularly love this version. Then Mark Knopfler. First, from Real Live Roadrunning with Emmylou Harris...Romeo and Juliet. He converts some of the chords into separate notes that come across wonderfully. (The version of Done with Bonaparte from this album is also awesome.) Then, Wild Theme, the theme from Local Hero, from the older Dire Straits greatest hits album. Looks like it was recorded in '92 live. The reverb makes it hauntingly melancholy (to me). Cygnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 You practically demanded it of me 3 Siouxsie and the banshees songs. Spellbound is overused as it appears in almost all compilations where they want a Banshees track so Fireworks. Not available on any album until the second singles collection this has orchestra and band. Dazzle. I have fond memories of the video of this being broadcast on TV and the presenter's face afterwards told the story of 'I have no idea what this is about' The Last Beat of My Heart. This is an album track from the Peepshow album which was used by White Wolf to illustrate the end of a Vampire's quest for Golconda. A love song Certified 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
