2. U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name
3. U2 - With or Without You
4. Cold Chisel - Khe Sahn

5.Rick Springfield - Jesse's Girl

Uh, anyway. That was just in jest. My top five ...

1. U2: One Tree Hill
2. Porcupine Tree: Stupid Dream
3. The Chills: Pink Frost
4. Agalloch: In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion

I bet if you asked me tomorrow, only the top two would be the same.

Re: Re: Your Top Five Songs of ALL Time

I'll cop that one. Not ashamed at all. THE party song, or more, THE song to play at 2am when the night is winding up and fellowship is at a high.

Any Australian who doesn't know the words phails as an Aussie in my eyes.

 

[Zoomerang96]

1. radiohead - airbag
2. blur - to the end
3. wilco - reservations
4. loscil - the grid

[greenlight7-11]

2. Nine Inch Nails - Piggy
3. Pearl Jam - Black
4. U2 - Stay (Faraway, So Close!)

[Lancemc]

Who the hell knows for sure. How about this:

1. Country Feedback - R.E.M.
2. Incident on 57th Street - Bruce Springsteen
3. Bad - U2
4. Find The River - R.E.M.
5. Wilco - At Least That's What You Said

 

[Lancemc]

Actually the more I think about it, R.E.M. has produced most of my favorite songs of all time. And while anyone familiar with my taste isn't at all surprised by that, when I first saw this thread the first thing that popped into my mind was a big handful of R.E.M. songs. They really write stuff that stands on its own two feet.

Country Feedback
Nightswimming
Find the River
Half a World Away
Me In Honey
Losing My Religion
I Believe
E-Bow The Letter
Electrolite
Falls to Climb
Walk Unafraid
Let Me In
You Are The Everything
Maps and Legends
Talk about the Passion

The list goes on.

God damn I love that band.

 

[intedomine]

1. U2 - Gloria
2. Stone Roses - Made Of Stone
3. U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name
4. The Smiths - How Soon Is Now

Apologies to Paranoid Android, Children, Born Slippy, Strawberry Fields, Carry On, Morning Glory, Beautiful Day, All Over You and many more.

That is an amazing song! I have Stewart Copeland's entire Spyro soundtrack on my ipod

We used to contact Insomniac to see if there would be an official release of Stewart's music for Spyro but they said it would never happen, so we had to resort to other means. Let me know if you'd like it
