Your top 10 and bottom 5 Rock&Roll tunes

[mike343sharpstick]

A coworker and I were just talking about this, thought it might be a fun forum topic. Not the most influential or 'best' songs for one reason or another, but the songs you most enjoy (for ANY reason) and bounce back to. BTW, it was hard to only hit 10 but that made it interesting.

There are also songs that I hate so much I can identify them, and change the radio station in my car in milliseconds.

This may tell a bit about yourself; age, attitudes, etc.

My Top 10 (no particular order)
1. Suicidal Tendencies – Institutionalized
2. Van Hallen – hot For teacher
3. Lustra - Scotty doesn’t know(From the movie Euro Trip)
4. Motley crue – Live wire
5. Offspring – All I want
6. Ramones – Blitzkrieg bop
7. Violent Femmes – Add it up
8. Winger – 17
9. Forces of Evil (a.k.a. Reel big fish) – Angry Anthem
10. Bob Marley – Jammin’

Bottom 5
1. Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven
2. Beatles – Strawberry Fields Forever
3. Led Zeppelin - Immigrant song
4. John Cougar – jack and Diane
5. Elton John - Crocodile rock

I suppose it’s pretty obvious that I’m a GenX’r-goodtime-80’s guy.

What's wrong with 40 year old women?

[mike343sharpstick]

Dan, Rivera Paradise is the “coolest” song ever to be recorded
But to me it’s Jazz, not ‘Rock&Roll’ which I had limited my own list to in my mind to keep my head from exploding and keep it down to 10

[Grumpy]

Holy Crap, after looking at the list of songs above I must be out of the wrong Century! I'm not sure that I really have a top ten list but here goes.

MY TOP THREE LIST

1. I like maybe 20% of the CW songs
2. I like probably 25% of what I consider Rock & Roll, we're talking 60's music here.
3. Old Time Rock & Roll - Bob Seger

MY BOTTOM 5 LIST

1. The Yellow Submarine by the Beatles
2. The Yellow Submarine by the Beatles
3. The Yellow Submarine by the Beatles
4. The Yellow submarine by the Beatles
5. The Yellow Submarine by the Beatles

[SpiderGearsMan]

MY bottom 5 are all U2 songs

[Shawn Anderson]

Here we go:

Top
1)Paint it black, Rolling Stones
2)Beastie Boys, Sabatage
3)White Zombie, Thunderkiss 65
4)Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, Journey to the center of the mind
5)Van Halen, Eruption

Bottom
1)Ted Nugent, Fred Bear (I hate this song on another level!)
2)John Denver, Sunshine on my shoulders
3)Lil Wayne, All his "songs" sound the same
4)She thinks my tractors sexy
5)International Harvester

[DanStokes]

I like "Pride in the Name of Love" and some of the U2 stuff. Not Top 10 material but OK. Some of the Pink Floyd stuff is like that, too. Don't know WHAT David F has against Floyd - but I guess that's why we're not all married to the same woman.

A lot of the stuff you guys have listed has no frame of reference for me - never heard of 'em. But I HAVE heard of Donna the Buffalo and listen to them from time to time. Again, not top 10.

Carry on........

[Whelk]

I probably betray a bit of mileage here.
Norman Greenbaum Spirit in the Sky
Steppenwolf Magic Carpet Ride
Cheap Trick I Want You to Love Me
The Animals House of the Rising Sun
Foghat Slow Ride
The Knack My Sharona

What's wrong with 40 year old women?

nothing, but me and them dont exactly have the same taste in music haha, its kind of an inside joke between me and one of my friends who only listens to def leppard, bon jovi etc.

[Barry Donovan]

this question stumps me every time.

I like roy orbison all the way to dubstep from outer space.
songs so simple some could fall asleep.
songs too complicated to be interesting.
I could have a top 1000 list if I tried.

what up with u2?

I like some of that.

bottom 5 is the young ladies launched like a self declared diva and also loving the same sex.
my bottom 5 no doubt.

soul sing this bitch.
