I've been wanting to do this for some time, so here off the cuff, is a leetle list of which I feel currently could be considered my top ten favorite songs...
10 You Do or You Don't ... Lindsey Buckingham
9 Anchorage ... Michelle Shocked
8 Crazy Without You ... Pure Heart
7 Wolfgang ... Pete Droge
6 The Angels Listened In ... Crests
5 Lodi ... CCR
4 The Way the World Would Be ... Glenn Yarbrough
3 I Should Have Known Better ... Beatles
2 Truly Do ... David Lindley
1 Summer and Lightning ... ELO
There's probably a lot more ELO, CCR and Beatles that could go here too :> I'd highly recommend checking out any of these that ya haven't heard of yet, also. Of course this sort of list changes throughout one's life, but this is a pretty good summation of 'em for now :>
Hope ya enjoyed!...
Now how about yours? :D (or comments/questions on these songs are welcomed too...)

Re: Random, but cool, list
Date: 2003-02-02 10:32 pm (UTC)Ah.. (re: 'Ghetto') ... Although I do like the lyric in this song, it usually isn't among the top things that make or break a song for me. it's definitely a bonus if it works, but then it's like, ya get to enjoy and nice poem along with the song :> Actually it's more than that ;>
I can see how that song can be seen as a generalization too, yeah.. For me I just take it as a specific set of incidents story. True it doesn't offer any concrete solutions other than 'people dontcha understand, the child needs a helping hand' :| (I don't think Elvis wrote many, if any of his songs too)..
So I guess ultimately I wanted to put at least one Elvis song in there just because I like so many of them, and I like the arrangement and melody in this one particularly *warble*
Thanks for the extra commentary though! :>
