Refreshments

[lex]

why is everyone's mailbox always full? i just want to know that. you should all clean your mail box.

even the ones in your "sent" folder!

just a suggestion. :D

[reb]

Lex this is serious. :D Do you know how many songs are in my top five. Oh, probably a hundred so far. I don't want anyone throwing this in my face later:D :D

[reb]

OK, since you are just going to keep on pushin' here is #3 or #oh3 according to EZY:D

It's Not My Cross To Bear by Gregg Allman. The best "white boy" Blues song ever written:cool:

[bunkyboy]

1. Running to a Stand Still- U2
2. I Scare Myself- Thomas Dolby
3. Three Days/Then She Did- Janes Addiction
4. I Confess-The English Beat
5. Lamb Lies Down on Broadway-Genesis

[gutter]

Bunk, I figured your favorite Jane's song would be Standing in the Shower Thinking. I'm sure Nothing Shocking has to be your favorite Jane's album though. It's one of my top 5.

[bunkyboy]

But I"m pretty partial to Ritual's 2nd side. And I like the first janes Addiction pretty well too. Actually all 3 albums are worthy of top 10 status in my book.

[lex]

yeay!!! some cool songs here...

ok, reb. i gotcha. i want to change my list, but i wont. cuz, i just wanna know who's got cool songs...

oooh, allman brothers band! ok. i will try to be patient.

no savoy brown, huh? :D

going back to work...my boss is wondering why i look so busy.... dont think i am faking him out at all. :p

[Superfluous_Nut]

My fav Jane's Addiction song is Pigs in Zen.

I'd have to add to my list "the pod" by Hum. That song just plain kicks ass.

go ahead and strike everlong... :)

[LarryD]

i'm going to have to divide these up into different categories, but for now, let's say my top 5 is:

the cult -- she sells sanctuary
rem -- king of birds
seal -- crazy
stereo mcs -- connected
prince -- seven

that's just right now and just because i started trying. i could make a top-5 list for each day of the month and it'd be hard to pick out which one is the real one.

Metallica--Nothing Else Matters
U2--One
R.E.M.--E-bow the letter
Blue Oyster Cult--Don't Fear the Reaper
Eagles--Hotel California

[lex]

this is just a reminder that this is top 5. reb, you got to post 4 and 5 still. this is like "pulling teeth!" (a friend once told me that).

#4 and #5, reb. post, dammit! ;)

[Kakia69]

I need to think about these as well.

1. Something About You -- Level 42
2. Ever - Lenny Kravitz
3.
4.
5.

[Superfluous_Nut]

Ooh... blue oyster cult... my fav BOC song would probably by "last days of may".

[smashmouth5]

One-Metallica
Freedom Train-Lenny Kravitz
Hey Jude-The Beatles
Iron Man-Black Sabbath
Nuthin but a G Thang-Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg

[jazzredcat]

What the hell, here goes. :D

Body and Soul
Easy Living
Sermonette
My Shining Hour
Softly As In A Morning Sunrise[Trane's redition]
Triste [for good measure]

[McFly41]

In no specific order...

*Arms Wide Open - Creed: It was so horribly overplayed on the radio, but it's timing with the birth of my son was perfect.

*Jump Around - House of Pain: It's the party anthem of me and my crew.

*Whatever - Godsmack: Just gets me all amped up!

*Iris - Goo Goo Dolls: Reminds me of my Great Grandmother and how much I love and miss her.

*I'd Die Without You- PM Dawn: For the wifey.

Actually, these are the ones that came to me at the time. It really depends on my mood.
Larry, ANYTHING by the Cult is Grade A in my book! I want to buy a plastic fantastic lobster telephone, but nobody carries them?

(baby, if you're reading this, reb is just stoned...on account of he can't roll a joint for shit. i think he might be related to cheech or chong. he too roll those mamma joints!) :cool:

[reb]

I don't remember saying any of your top five blew chunks or anything. I don't recall saying your joints looked like shit. Don't worry boyfriend I think lil hussy is going to mean lil hussy. How about you going ahead and picking my #5. I need to get at least two right.:D

[lex]

somebody please shoot me. :(

[lex]

i think i offended 2 posters on this board already. that is a clue. should i try for three? hmmmm, i think not...in my mind i think two, at least... i apologise.

:(

[jazzredcat]

"I don't remember saying any of your top five blew chunks or anything. I don't recall saying your joints looked like shit....."

Damn Reb, you're one eloquent and sweet-talkin' son-of-a gun.
:D :D

[reb]

It's all clear Lex. I was wondering what you were doing up at that time of the morning. I wouldn't be responsible either.

So my #5 is going to be Jimi Hendrix- Voodo chile.

I tried to get in a bunch of stuff, Freedom as sort of Folk, and a woman (EmmyLou) and the blues and jazz rock and heavy stuff like Hendrix. It's a begining.


I mean where the hell is "Louie Louie"
:D

[lex]

3. Rock-n-Roll All Nite - KISS
4. Brown Sugar - Stones

[Puttingood]

See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans
Wearin' yesterday's misfortunes like a smile
Once he had a future full of money love and dreams
Which he spent like they was going out of style
And he keeps right on a changin' for the better or the worse
And searchin' for a shrine he's never found
Never knowin' if believin' is a blessin' or a curse
Or if the going up is worth to coming down
He's a poet he's a picker he's a prophet he's a pusher
He's a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he's stoned
He's a walking contradiction partly truth and partly fiction
Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home

He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars
And he's traded in tomorrow for today
Runnin' from the devils Lord and reachin' for the stars
And losin' all he loved along the way
But if this world keeps right on turning for the better or the worse
All he ever gets is older and around
From the rocking of the cradle to the rolling of the hearse
The going up was worth the coming down
He's a poet he's a picker...
There's lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home

[lex]

careful lex, what I do should only be done by professionals. You don't want to get folks hurt now do you.

says reb.


shit, i forgot about that! listen to the pro, couz!

Tempted - Squeeze ( Paul Carrack was the best singer they had)

Some Kind of Wonderful - Grand Funk Railroad
