Yeah I don't ding anyone for a failed effort, I just ignore it and remember the best efforts...

I don't either, but I think a lot of people kind of turned on him because of that.

Curious question, what is everyone's 5-10 favorite songs of all time? We have a lot of eclectic music tastes on MTS/MTF and I wanted to see when it all boils down to it, what are your favorites?

Here's my top 10 . . .

1. My Girl by The Temptations

2. Cover Me Up by Jason Isbell

3. The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel (I also really love EmmyLou Harris' cover)

4. River by Joni Mitchell

5. Little Girl Blue by Janis Joplin

6. Red Dirt Girl by EmmyLou Harris

7. Take It Easy by The Eagles

8. Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old) by Garth Brooks

a few weeks ago I got on a Hornsby kick because of End of Innocence.

 

 

[pfife]

hornsby is awesome!  Both of those songs mentioned are great.   He was a member of the dead for a while too!

[CMRivdogs]

He's still doing some good stuff...Quite a bit different from his Range days...

 

[Motor City Sonics]

Anyone ever been to El Club in Detroit before?    How's the parking situation there? 

[Motor City Sonics]

A quick Top 10, but tomorrow my list would be different. 

In No Particular Order  (I guess it's 11..........see, it already changed and I am leaving out Carmen by Bizet because I love the whole thing). 

 

Grounds For Divorce by Elbow (known for their ballads more, but darkly funny) 

How Soon Is Now by The Smiths (nothing sounds like it)

The Barber of Seville Overture - Rossini  (reminds me of Breaking Away)

Astronauts by One Eskimo  (beautiful song from a short lived group)

Take Five by Dave Brubeck (probably piggyback that with Strange Meadow Lark from the same album)

Starry Eyes by The Records (can't be in a bad mood when this is on)

Mercy Mercy Me by Marvin Gaye  (reminds me of summer as a kid)

The Girl From Ipanema by Getz/Gilberto  (too bad they didn't do more - stan and astrud got close, I hear, very close, so I get why they never worked together again)

On A Clear Day You Can See Forever by The Peddlers  (thank you Breaking Bad for introducing me to this)

Cuyahoga - R.E.M.   (favorite R.E.M. song by far)

Prisoners by Doves  (don't know why, just love this song)

Masterfully utilized in The Wedding Singer.

[lordstanley]

My daughter's all-girls high school had their annual choir concert last night at a concert hall. This was one of the songs they did.  40 voices doing this one sounded great. 

 

[lordstanley]

I gave myself one minute to have 10 songs I like pop into my head. If I had more time, I'm sure my top 10 would be different but I've listened to all of these a lot over the years:

Thunder Road - Springsteen

Main Street - Seger

Baba O'Reilly - The Who

Different Drum - Stone Poneys

Crimson & Clover - Tommy James and the Shondells

Sunday Girl - Blondie

Sheena Is A Punk Rocker -Ramones

Funeral - Band of Horses

Ball & Biscuit - White Stripes

Rebellion - Arcade Fire

The new Arcade Fire has gone back to basics and shed the disco stuff.    Nice to hear the return.  

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

I just happened upon this while I was youtubing something else. pretty cool, it a bit goofy. cool visuals on the big screen, dunno if they're Rush's or if Primus had them made up.

I think I've probably listened to like, three songs on this entire list, Smiths, REM and Marvin. Marvin's Mercy Me (Ecology) is probably the only one I can sing the lyrics to. I've got some catching up as far as the MCS, radio DJ, music aficionado goes.

Somewhere along the way you've heard Take Five and the Barber Of Seville.  

[CMRivdogs]

I really need to add this to the list...Willie Nelson, Wynton Marsalis, Walter Blanding on Tenor....
