no, can't do it, you'll have to give me a year or two to think this one over, maybe longer, fav five? of all time? how the hell are you meant to work that out, it can change even as your typing, mine is changing before i get to the end of a title in my head!!!!!

this might kill me, right, bite the bullet and just stick down the first five that come into your head in a random order, here goes nothing

blitzkrieg bop the ramones

rosalita (live) springsteen

space invader wizard hostage (ok so i wrote it, bite me!!!)

yes, it is, since most of the choices are, to use your phrase, pash, and it would only be a top five songs as chosen by a select few who made their choices way way too quickly, this week, ever!!!!! poll

apart from that theres best five songs, then the fav five songs of everyone the other side of the ralston rd divide, no similarity between them, except one is a list of brilliantly constructed songs both melodically and lyrically and the other is pash, and only heard in the schemes of the toon.

You're absolutely right Herr General, it was a pash idea brought on by a scatter o' halfs. Note to self, "Always put chainsaw through laptop before commencing session"

Aye it's aw right, Leonard Cohen does it better though. :wink:

BTW, I know that quote was for CP but you can't dismiss all material en mass, I still stand by Fix You being a crackin song, really emotional lyrically, and yes, I am a jessie :lol:

by **general jack o'niell** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 11:49 am

can't argue with that, jessie

not the coldplay thing, you being a jessie, thats a fact, you can take that to the bank

today?

elvis costello watching the detectives

skids into the valley

the only ones another girl another planet

blondie in the flesh

hostage Dr. Snuggles (ok so i haven't recorded it yet, only wrote it last night)

by **dr-sanchez** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 2:42 am

anything by NWA

True enough Walt, Complete Control by the Clash is another tremendous track, as is Babylons Burning by the Ruts. More recently, The Killers 'Read My Mind' is my favourite song from this year, 'Face for the radio' by the View is another cracker and My Chemical Romance, 'Black Parade'(think that was last year), christ where do you stop.

my chemical romance? :shock:

shocking band...shocking

STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON!

Anything by Eazy-E, he's gangsta, w00t. I know it him that killed Tupac.

Mike Patton - Raped on a bed of Sand

The only real white gangsta is Mike Patton. He'd fit more in NWA if they reformed than Ice Cube would!
