I couldn't possibly do a top 5 of all time but I can do my current five favourites today, in no real order...

[1] Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Redemption Song
[2] Glen Hansard - When Your Minds Made Up
[3] Ben Folds Five - Brick
[4] Kings of Leon - Manhattan
[5] Snow Patrol - Crack the Shutters

In a bit of a meloncholic mood I think!

In no particular order:

Eric Clapton - River of Tears
James - Sometimes
The Beatles - I Want You (She's so Heavy)

If you're going to make me pick just five I'm going to have to say the first five songs off-of The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses.

Nuff said, I'm locking the thread.

Bruce Rioja · Post by **Bruce Rioja** » Mon Dec 29, 2008 3:57 pm

This'll change just as soon as I give it any serious thought, so here goes with the five that first leap to mind:

Johnny Was - Stiff Little Fingers
Private Hell - The Jam
Street Spirit (Fade Out) - Radiohead
Forest Fire - Lloyd Cole and The Commotions
Staring at the Rude Boys - The Ruts

Will have to be "five of" rather than five favourite for me. Top of the head:

Me and Mrs Jones. Billy Paul
Heard it on the grapevine. Marvin Gaye
Rock Your Baby George MaCray
Africa Toto
Come Fly with me Sinatra.

Can I have another go?

Here is today's list (it changes a lot)

1. Otis Redding - I've got dreams to remember.

2. Jam - Going underground.

3. Stevie Wonder - Living for the city.

4. The Who - Won't get fooled again.

5. Boomtown Rats - Diamond smiles.

Beach Boys - God Only Knows
Pulp - Babies
Killers - All These Things That I've Done

Hard to nail it to just 5 but using a combination of my iTunes play count and a bit of thought I've thrown these up.

Is this put in to see if anyone reads it? Or are you going to say that it's a little slice of pop heaven

Aye, not meant to be an all time list...the one i posted will no doubt change tomorrow

re: Mr Brightside...was good, but was beaten to death in the clubs. Read my Mind is their best tune anywho imo.

Lord Kangana · Post by **Lord Kangana** » Mon Dec 29, 2008 6:10 pm

This is far too difficult, I've been trying to think of any tracks that are completely indispensable, and the only two I can think of are:

The Clash : Rudie Can't Fail

and

Joni Mitchell : Big Yellow Taxi

...I'm sure The Killers, The Stone Roses, The Smiths, Neil Young and The Flaming Lips would probably accompany me to a desert island...just not sure which ones.
