[Statica]

I cannot decide between three, but you can see what my musical affiliations lie .. Comfortably Numb, Hey You or Welcome to the Machine .. sheer musical brilliance (arguably achieved by flawless technical abilities).

you should jam Welcome To The Machine in 5.1 surround...its truly amazing ;).

[mc2phat]

Alright Now- Free. I'm keeping my vote simple.

[spyder003]

Stairway or Free Bird.

[Statica]

I'm different that way Tin .. I badly want to listen and collect them on the original vinyl format. I've heard some of them in that format, and its a truly unique experience, a CD just doesnt do justice to Floyd, its too squeaky clean. But I dont have a turntable, and I dont have the vinyl versions of it :)

[Statica]

Best instrumentals - Anything with Eric Clapton on electric guitar


PR: If you like Clapton's instrumentals, have you tried the Pros and Cons of Hitchiking? (not by Douglas Adams's little known brother Thadeus Adams but by Roger Waters ;)).

[lil Jimmie]

60's anything Hendrix
70's Stairway to Heaven & Radar Love
80's One

after that it's pretty much down hill

[Strider]

Favorite Song is "No Son of Mine" by Genesis, but I did find something interesting that my most played song is "Why Can't I?" by Liz Phair on Itunes. I use Party Shuffle mostly to listen to my songs and I usually hit the refresh button a few times to get the songs I want to hear at that given time and not to get the same songs over and over again. Here is my current Top 17 (http://pepster.com/Top_17.jpg) and the reason for 17 is so when I decide to burn a CD I can do this without worrying about space needed

[mikezel]

60's anything Hendrix
70's Stairway to Heaven & Radar Love
80's One

agreed 100%

I've heard of Roger Waters but haven't listened to any of his stuff. I have some blues stuff of Clapton when he played with John Mayall that's pretty good. Gotta transfer it from cassette tho. I'm still transferring some of my vinyl to CD's or hdd storage. Got a nice turn table to do that.

[rightcoast]

Sure you have PR...He's the lyrical genius behind most of Pink Floyd's memorable work. The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, was played in its demo form to the other members of Pink Floyd way back in 1978. He gave two choices to the band, 'The Wall or Pro's, the one they didn't choose, Roger explained, he would pursue as a solo record.

[Panama Red]

(Slaps forehead) Doh! Guess I missed that one. Got some Floyd in the collection too. Even went to a couple of laser shows at our local planetarium that was done with The Wall and Darkside of the Moon.

[Statica]

The reason why I mentioned it is that its Eric Clapton on guitars with Roger Waters. It's amazing - hence the suggestion. Sorry I shouldve mentioned it the first time around.

[Markoman01027]

Best for slow dancin' - Nights in White Satin - The Moody Blues


Yes!! I could not agree with you even more!!! Although, I think the best song of all time is "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin.

PR: If you like Clapton's instrumentals, have you tried the Pros and Cons of Hitchiking? (not by Douglas Adams's little known brother Thadeus Adams but by Roger Waters ;)).


Pros and Cons of Hitchiking is an excellent album by Waters!

[Pounder]

love "Stairway to Heaven" but always thought it was too short I have too many alltime favorites one in particular Righteous Bros Unchained Melody

[Tech Guy]

Mr. Big - To Be With You
Stairway to heaven is also an amazing song.

[FLG]

Too many songs to choose from, but stairway to heaven is one of the best. Also have to agree with the pink floyd songs. Statica, i agree, pink floyd sounds the best on a turntable. I have The wall, Dark side of the moon, and Wish you were here on records and the sound is great, especially the beging of "Wish you were here".

[ghost2003]

Age of False Innocence by Blind Guardian

[allannabas]

anything by henry mancini

[dragonxx4]

CCR - Born on the Bayou, since i was born and raised in the swamps.

[thefultonhow]

How about I pick five...

Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)
Cream - Sunshine of Your Love
Genesis - Abacab
The Police - Message in a Bottle
Depeche Mode - Policy of Truth

I think you see where my primary alliegences lie... Progressive Rock and New Wave.

[Dangermouse1]

Alternative Ulster - Stiff Little Fingers

[Kov-Ice]

Without question, its Ozark Mountain Daredevils with their classic, Chicken Train.

And I quote:
Chicken train,
runnin' all day.
Chicken train,
runnin' all day.
Chicken train
runnin' all day
I can't get on
I can't get off
chicken train take your chickens away.

Need I say more?

If we're just talking about sheer enjoyment... the Theme from Dukes of Hazzard, by Merle Haggard (you know... the good ol' boys). It's also my favorite to do at kareoke!! :D :cool:

[mystvearn]

I'll go jap. Though I only understand 3% of any jap songs, anything by Mikuni Shimokawa.

[diver203_98]

How about anything from the Beetles? Actually about the only thing I listen to any more is Country. Shania Twain, Terry Clark, Dwight Yokam, Montgomery Gentry, and Travis Tritt.

Ever since I settled down with a family of my own I've enjoyed a little duet with Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn called " You're the Reason Our Kids are Ugly" lol

I have changed my mind.

Moo Moo Land by KLF featuring Tammy Wynette.

[Hi Ho]

My all time favorite has no words at all. It is Cracker Jack (http://www.runawaytrainbluegrass.com/10%20Cracker%20Jack.wma) by Aubrey Haynie. Quickburg Rondezvous (http://www.runawaytrainbluegrass.com/Quicksburg%20Rondezvous.WMA) and Cold Cheater's Heart (http://www.runawaytrainbluegrass.com/Cold%20Cheaters%20Heart.WMA) by Del McCoury are close seconds. :) Sound clips are provided because I'll be no one has ever heard them.

[Panama Red]

Good stuff, HH! Thanx. Here's a little tune that isn't necessarily my favorite but I guess I'd claim it as my theme song. ;)

Can't link the song but just look down the page til ya find Panama Red!

Never got to see them in the good old days. Although I am old enough, they didn't come over much. I was lucky enough to see them at the Roseland in NYC with Dropkick Murphys and they were as energetic as I would imagine they ever were....

You could tell it was a special night even for a buch of grizzled vets, they even said so. They don't play as much as they used to and came over to help out the Murphys and play for the fun of it. Fun and whiskey were had by all :)
