Favorite songs
A while back, I decided to go through my music collection and make a playlist of my top ten favorite songs, with only one song from each artist.
These are the songs I decided were my absolute favorites at the time I made the list. Some of them could be replaced with other songs, likely by the same artist. Odds are that if I made the list today, it'd be similar.
Because I feel like it, I'm sharing them with the world. (Or at least the small subset that reads my LJ.)
In no particular order:
Savatage - When the Crowds Are Gone
Dio - Rainbow in the Dark
There was a music video, but I couldn't find it on YouTube.
(But I did find Ronnie James Dio's cover of Dream On.)
Tom Waits - Hold On
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
The Beatles - Rain
Garbage - Fix Me Now
Killing Joke - Pandemonium
(There was a video, but I could only find a somewhat crappy copy.)
The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
Suicidal Tendencies - How Will I Laugh Tomorrow
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
(OK, so I couldn't manage to trim it down to 10.)
The White Stripes - The Denial Twist
(Could easily have been a different song.)
The Who - Behind Blue Eyes
Metallica - Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
Queen and David Bowie - Under Pressure
(If I hadn't counted this as the Queen song, this would probably be on the list.
The New Pornographers - All the Old Showstoppers
(Couldn't find the studio version on YouTube. This was the best live version I found.)
Savatage - Chance
(I didn't manage to stick to one song per band, either. Here's a live version by Trans-Siberian Orchestra and we can pretend I did. :)
