What the f*** is with the song Rock Lobster? How many drugs were they on when they wrote it? Literally just repeating Rock Lobster over and over again. It's terrible. It makes me want to rip off my ears and then run around in traffic without ears while people point at me, it's that bad.

I mean yeah....but when you’re 15 at your high school dance it’s the best song ever. That and “White Lines”.

Not gonna lie...I don't get super-emotional to music very often, but this song, and this particular performance by Floor gets me EVERY time

Have any of you tried to list your top 5 songs? I've tried, but it's been almost impossible because I have such varied music taste as I like most genres. Here goes my "attempt"

Sweet Child O'Mine: GNR. - Sentimental reasons
American Pie: Don McLean
Turn the Page: Love both the Seger and Metallica version
Take Five: Dave Brubeck. First time I heard this I was in awe.

After these 4, I have about 20 songs I could put there, but I'm going to list:

All these things that I've done: - Killers

HM:

Jason Isbell: Cover me up
Alabama Shakes - Hold on (saw them at Cat's Cradle before they were big).
Blind Melon - No Rain
Creedence - Fortunate Son
Eagles - Seven Bridges Road
Fleetwood Mac - Landslide
Golden Earring - Twilight Zone (when I was a youngster playing shortstop for a softball team with older guys, I arrived early for a game and the pitcher for our team said I could wait in his truck with him as it was cold out. He got high and played this song. Fond memories and we won the tournament.
Kinks - Celluloid Heros
Robert Earl Keen - Feeling Good Again
Stones - Sympathy for the Devil
Stevie Wonder - Superstition
Sublime - Santeria (my son use to play this for us on his guitar).

I'm sure I'm missing a dozen others.

EDIT: How could I forget Sutlans of Swing?
and Baby did a bad bad thing - Chris Issac?
And Bible on the Dash - Corb Lund and Hayes Carll
Edit 2: can’t believe I forgot Neil Young: My, My, Hey, Hey (out of the blue). That’s in my top 5 depending on my mood.

My top five would also probably include about 20 songs :laugh:


It would also definitely include Robert Earl Keen and Corb Lund, so kudos there.

I see REK almost every time he comes to this area. Only time I saw Corb Lund was when he opened for Hayes Carll at the old Southland Ballroom in Raleigh a number of years ago. Corb was great. Bible on the Dash was outstanding.

Your post got me thinking about what I would put as my top five…..very hard to do for sure. That said I “think” this is what I’d go with. For now. Maybe.

The Top 5:

Maria Maria - Santana
Hallelujah - K.D. Lang
Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Miss You - The Rolling Stones
Turn the Page - Bob Seger, definitely

First Cuts:

Son of a Son of a Sailor - Jimmy Buffet
Red House - Jimmy Hendrix
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Wayfairing Pilgrim - Roy Buchanan
Jesus of Suburbia - Green Day
