Who would you put in your top 5 favorite bands? My list is as follows:
* Van Halen
* Boston
* Alice in Chains
* Foo Fighters
* Queen

Doors
Queen
David Bowie
Jacques Loussier Trio
Melissa Etheridge

(stopping at 5 is hard....)

I know AML, the Doors would make my top 6. I recall you saw them (last year?) and you said they played my favorite song (Peace Frog) twice! So cool....

bands only?

or are we allowed solo artists too?

I don't know, which makes you happier?

Tool
Led Zeppelin
AC/DC

Flaw or Gorrilaz

I can listen to any of these bands all day long....

CSN&Y
Foo Fighters
Offspring
Deep Forest
PearlJam/REM/Alice in Chains/Janes Additction/The Cure/Depeche Mode

AG, solo artists are OK too, sorry, should have said that.

They did! Robbie Krieger does a remixed version of it on a solo album ("Cinematics", I think), and he titled it "War Toad".

Then there's SmashMouth's take on "Peace Frog" on 'Stoned Immaculate'.

No, that is Ian Anderson... the lead guy.

Oooo.. I forgot about Heart. Did you see the Vh1 Rock Honors this year? Heart was amazing. I was blown away by Gretchen Wilson & Alice in Chains's cover of Barracuda, too. If you didn't see it, you can pull it up on Vh1.com!

Yea they were really good!.. but I was all about the ZZ Top set. They [censored] Rocked!!!

Oh Dear! I guess I have outed myself in the age category! Young teenager when Beatles first came out!

I feel so welcome and at home with Bugs and Music Mom sharing my musical interests, now I know MM is over in the beautiful hill country between Austin and San Antonio, but where you at Bugs?

I was a little older teenager when they invaded us, and I had a schnuazer for 14 years until she started to fail and we had to put her down

Ya like my Schnzauer-I adopted one that looks nearly like this one in February. I love her dearly she is a sweetie and can't get enough love!

yep, I used to do my own grooming off our standard size Ali, she was the daughter of a grand champion from Dallas, ooh, she was a pistol though about tearing stuff up in the house and emptying all the trash cans in every room when we left her alone

Midwest.

1. Led Zep
2. Beatles
3. The Who
4. U2
5. REM

I guess I just don't "get" Bowling for Soup. I saw this band at a Vans Tour show a few years ago. They didn't play that well, and they acted like high school aged morons. Maybe they've become a little more professional. It was kind of cool to watch the big guy thow his pick and the air and catch it while he was playing. That is, it was cool until he did for the 45th time!

D'yer Maker
Girl
Baba O'Riley
Vertigo
Losing My Religion

FWIW, I was a big fan before BFS ever hit it big. Their albums are all catchy pop-punk and I did get to hang out with them after a show in dallas.

Sadie gets the best avatar award for today!!!

are you posting in the wrong thread again Rizz? how much celebrating did you do at lunch?

Please refer to Sadie23 from page 1 of this thread/post/whatever

If you're happy and you know it, buy me a drink!

and, I deserved to celebrate

One of my coworkers loves the songs for Outback Steakhouse. I'm looking around to see if there's a full recording of all variations: normal, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc...

"Let's go Outback tonight, work will still be there tomorrow."

can you do it in that Aussie accent, if so, very kewl!

who the heck is gonna go back to page 1!

well, since you had such good news today and in 2 weeks another momentous day, i am going to let you off with a warning

No. I can't. It's not something that I've been known to do, impersonate commercials and all.

My honey sings the Baja Fresh song...and he hates the restaurant! LOL

I couldn't name my Top five bands if I wanted to, I love music too much to only have five.

Right now I am into Maroon 5, Michael Buble, Mariah Carey (the girl can sing!), Faith Hill and Gwen Stefani. I like a little of everything.

I've been singing jingles since I was a kid, I still remember the ones that used to be on the air about 25 years ago!

Sing a Little:

ya gotta put them in single file order, its too hard to read this way

I adore that song I wanna go home by michael buble!!!!

and thanks for the warning sheriff!!!! i promise to be good from now on

This must be a Schnazuer thing, mine does the same, I'll come home in the afternoon and find that she has made a little nest of things on the bed! My son has one also, she chewed up several hundred dollars of his conducting batons while he was in class, he has learned to put them up really high so she can't get at them, but we luvum anyway! It is hard to stay mad at her, and if she does something wrong and I call her a bad girl she just looks so heart broken I have to pick her up and tell her I love her! Am I silly or what!

LOL! Not Aqualung, please????

Ok, then Hymn 43

Ian Anderson is a great flute player, no doubt. However, my favorite flute in famous songs are: "Colour My World" by Chicago, and "Can't You See" by Marshall Tucker Band, and "Nights in White Satin" by the Moody Blues.

My all time favorite flutes are in Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2. The flute parts right after the climax when the original theme returns is some of the most sublime music ever composed. (IMHO)

Better... than locomotive breath...

The Doors
Aerosmith
Linkin Park
Gwen Stefani
Evanescence

Maroon 5 is really growing on me.

Zeppelin
Skynyrd
Nickelback
Journey

I just tossed in a few old CDs I hadn't listened to in quite awhile and you know, Genesis wasn't bad. I was listening to the Phil Collins Genesis, not the Peter Gabriel Genesis.

I love Midnight Oil, too bad they're not better known here, they're as big as anyone except Kylie Minogue down under.

Earth and Sun and Moon is one of my all-time favourite CDs.

I still can't think of the when in Rome song but the words are something like...I'm sorry but I just can't think of the right words to say, I know it's not how you planned it to be...so if you wait around for me....is that it comp?

it's called 'the promise'

Ahhhhhhh, that's it. Thanks Bailey.

You got it!!!

4. Metallica (old stuff)
