This is just g'bye for now...
This is hard to narrow down, but I'd have to say (in no particular order)
1. GN'R - Estranged
2. The Smiths - How Soon is Now
3. NIN - Terrible Lie
4. Floyd - Wish you were Here (I like the Catherine Wheel cover, but you have to respect the original artist).
5. Floyd - Comfortably Numb (again I have to take the Sisters of Mercy version over the original.
One's that just missed the cut..........Pixies (where is my mind), Metallica (Fade to Black), Zep (Stairway to Heaven), PJ (Corduroy)
1) Nirvana - Sappy (not to be confused with Verse Chorus Verse)
2) Metallica - Orion
3) Alice in Chains - Rotten Apple
4) The Smashing Pumpkins - Geek U.S.A.
5) Primus - Tommy the Cat
It'd be unfair to include PJ in this list because I love almost everything by them over any other band so I'll do my top five PJ songs too:
1) Blood
2) Present Tense
3) Why Go
4) Wash
5) Not For You
what's the difference? i always thought it was the same song, only some different lyrics maybe.
They are very different songs. Both very good and I don't understand how they didn't make it to official albums. Somewhere along the lines Sappy got renamed VCV for some reason, but Kurt named it Sappy on one of the Outcesticide albums. There is another completely different song entitled VCV. I strongly, strongly, strongly suggest downloading Sappy. It blew me away when I heard it like no other song. You can also find a video of it on http://www.youtube.com created by Krist and Dave. Go check it out, you won't regret it.
1. Pink Floyd Shine on you crazy diamond parts 1-5 ( 13 mins of just the most sublime music, all four members on top form, Rick's openimg, David's heavenly playing and Roger's most passionate and heartbreaking lyrics)
2. One ( the bands pinnacle some of the most simple but passionate lyrics of all time delivered by a vocalist at the top of his game the rest of the band accompanying with music to match the passion in the lyrics and the vocal delivery
3. Radiohead Paranoid android ( just unlike anything since it 's release, it shouldn't work but it does 7 minutes of sublime madness thom's vocals and Johnny's mind blowing guitar, still has the power to leave you awe struck at it's epicness and impressive noise.
4. Pearl Jam Rearview Mirror ( Just amazing the emotional high point of the bands cat, from the moment I heard it just got better and better, I don't think I have to say anymore)
5. Pink Floyd Echoes ( Never as 20 or more mins of music been so perfect from opening ping to the closing moments just awe inspiring a band playing as tight as a ducks arse, This is when they worked as a unit and other than my No. 1 choice it's unrivalled in it sheer hugeness and scope

only love can break your heart
but only love can brake your fall
Im happy to be posting on this thread :-) Lots of soul searching, care and thought has gone into this very personal list of my current favourite songs:
The Doors - The Crystal Ship ; sublime, close your eyes, listen in a quiet room with the lights off and you'll actually believe you're in space. Who needs drugs when you've got The Doors?
Velvet Underground - I'll Be Your Mirror ; sweet song with great affectionate lyrics. An example of classic songwriting which has always been "underground" and not swamped by the classic rock tag.
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Somebody Never Comes ; classic rock n roll narration.
Pearl Jam - Present Tense ; perfect balance of everything that makes pj great. anthemic. psychodelic. rocking. intense
Neil Young - Cinnamon Girl ; In 1969 Neil Young invented grunge well ahead of his time with this masterful song.

"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world." Herman Melville : Moby Dick
Man, it's gonna be tough to limit it to 5. Disclaimers:
1. These aren't necessarily what I consider the best in terms of songwriting, performance etcetera, just my favorite.
2. This list would probably change depending on when I was answering.
1. Hendrix - Machine Gun - the absolute pinnacle of guitar playing for me. There may be better technical performances out there, but nothing else even comes close in terms of inventiveness, intensity, and musicality.
2. Zeppelin - Heartbreaker - this song is the reason I started playing guitar. One of the best riffs ever.
3. Stones - Gimme Shelter - unbelieveable groove. I could listen to that groove for days.
4. Jane's Addiction - Three Days - so epic. Great, hypnotic bass line and mind blowing guitar work.
5. RHCP - Turn It Again - tough to choose one because I'm a big fan of Frusciante's work, but this song sums up the band's strengths for me. It starts with a cool, funky James Brown style groove, then erupts into a hendrixesque riff. The layered guitars on the outro solo are the most exciting thing I heard on any album last year.
1. PJ - State of Love and Trust - this song rocks so damn hard. Great guitar, great vocals, great groove. This just has everything I want in a 3 minute rock song.
2. Neil Young - Rockin in the Free World - the best protest song ever. Raw, angry, and righteous.
3. The Who - Baba O'Reilly - the greatest 3 chord rock anthem of all time. There is no better song to just crank to eleven and let the power chords wash over you.
4. Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond - this song is the definition of psychedelic for me. It really takes the listener on a journey, and also serves as a moving tribute for a lost friend.
5. Dinosaur Jr. - What Else Is New - I just love the way that intro guitar solo explodes out of the speakers, and how the song resolves into peaceful acoustic strumming at the end. Just a really well put together song.
